Donald Trump hints that he will leave office if the electoral college votes for Joe Biden
Presidency.Trump yields and authorizes the start of the transfer of powers to Biden
Elections Limit the director of electoral crimes of the USA after the order of the attorney general to investigate the alleged fraud
The attorney general (a position equivalent, with many exceptions, to that of the Minister of Justice in Spain)
William Barr
has just declared to the
Associated Press
news agency
that "to date, we have not seen electoral fraud of a scale that could have altered the result of the elections ".
Barr's claim is of the utmost importance because he is the
head of the Justice Department
and, furthermore, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, who he appointed to replace Jeff Sessions, a veteran conservative Republican whom the head of state and The Government accused of
not having protected him by recusing himself from the supervision of the investigation of the 'Russian plot'
on the alleged interference of Russia in the 2016 elections in favor of Donald Trump.
Later,
Barr was accused by Democrats of distorting the conclusions
of the investigation of the special prosecutor Robert Mueller, former director of the FBI and member, and
the like Trump and Barr, of the Republican Party.
In the weeks leading up to the election,
Barr echoed Triump's allegations that there was going to be voter fraud in the vote-by-mail
.
On September 2, the attorney general stated that "in elections that have been held by mail ballot, substantial fraud and duress [of voters] has been found."
On the same occasion, Barr said that
"I think it is China" that was trying to influence the
US
elections
.
In June, the attorney general
had gone so far as to say that third countries were going to replace voters' ballots
in mail
ballots
and replace them with other candidates - supposedly, Joe Biden - favorable to their interests.
Apparently, according to Barr, the United States Postal Service is full of foreign agents.
Although Barr himself can also be accused of having encouraged fraud when he said, in September, that "I do not know if it is illegal to vote twice."
Barr
had
also
sided with Trump on the president's allegations of
voter fraud in the states where he has lost.
Immediately after the election, the attorney general authorized US attorneys to act ex officio when there were "substantial allegations" of fraud, even though there were none at the time.
Prosecutors have not acted to date because there are no "substantial allegations
.
"
At the moment,
Donald Trump's campaign has lost 32 cases before the courts
- counting both those that the judges have rejected and those that the president's own legal advisers have voluntarily withdrawn - and the process of 'certification' of votes continues without incident. .
On Sunday, in his first post-election interview with
Fox Business
television
,
Trump admitted that it is very difficult to take the electoral fraud case to the Supreme Court
, as his most fervent supporters wish.
Barr's statements confirm
the loneliness of the president in his allegations of fraud.
A loneliness in which Trump is accompanied by some reducible tendencies, perhaps dangerous ones.
That is the case with his campaign attorney,
Joe Di Genova
, who on Monday proposed that the top head of US electoral cybersecurity,
Chris Krebs
, who has claimed that the elections were "the cleanest in the history of the country" , be "dragged, dismembered, and shot at dawn."
