In a conference call among senior officials came a directive to prosecutors: Go after election fraud cases presented to them or risk termination. The Justice Department denies a threat was made.

A top Justice Department official warned managers in a recent conference call that federal prosecutors could be fired if they decline to investigate and pursue cases of reported election fraud, according to two people with knowledge of the call.

Aakash Singh, the top lieutenant to the Deputy Attorney General, warned that Department of Justice lawyers must pursue election fraud cases that FBI or Department of Homeland Security agents present to them or risk termination, according to the people, who sought anonymity to avoid reprisals for sharing internal discussion.

Singh also told supervisors that FBI and DHS can overrule a prosecutor who declines to pursue one of their investigations, and that the office of the Deputy Attorney General will make the final decision on whether a case goes forward, one of the people told MS NOW.

    Then do what’s right and get fired. Go work somewhere else and let the idiots try to prosecute people when they don’t have the skills or evidence to do so.
