DOJ Declines To Comment On Why Agency Won’t Investigate Threats To Electors

The Department of Justice did not want to discuss why the agency refuses to investigate alleged harassment and death threats toward Electoral College voters in states that went for Donald Trump.

“The department will decline to comment,” DOJ deputy press secretary David Jacobs told The Daily Caller in an email Wednesday afternoon.

The Justice Department seemed concerned about protecting voters from being intimidated at the polls on Election Day. It deployed 500 monitors to 67 jurisdictions in 28 states to watch polling stations this past presidential election cycle.

...
Some have wondered, then, why the Justice Department and the FBI will not investigate the recent claims of threats and harassment of these electors as per violation of Section 11b of the Voting Rights Act (52 U.S.C. §10307).

...
According to the law, it is a crime to “intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person for voting or attempting to vote.”


That law is in regards to any voting... individual or electoral.

More administration approved thuggery taking place.

Their silence is telling enough. Thankfully, a new, lawful order is about to be ushered in.

Obama and his DOJ goons will be gone in what, 48 days? We survived it this long, I think we'll be okay.

Yes, we will soon have the Drug War fanboy in.

Just what we need. Let's waste billions more on failed drug wars because "people who smoke marijuana are not good people". Let's watch as Sessions attempts to step on states' rights.

You can bet if Hillary won the EC, they'd be investigating every single threat against an Elector.

the only way Obama's DOJ will investigate this is if the threats are from whites to black electors looking for hate crime....lol


have a black elector shot especially in the South and they will sure put it #1 priority and the MSM will carry water for the Obama administration...they might even blame Trump.

Are you sure it's not the Secret Service that would investigate? They are under Homeland Security not DOJ.

Color me SHOCKED .....

If we have learned nothing else over the last 8 years - we have learned that "crime" is decided by the Partisan/Ideological US Attorney General - JOB 1 is "protect Obama, TeamObama and the Leftist Agenda".
