NEWS: Biden camp responds to AG Barr via Bob Bauer: “It is deeply unfortunate that the Attorney General Barr chose to issue a memorandum that will only fuel the “specious, speculative, fanciful or far-fetched claims” he professes to guard against.” (1/3)
“Those are the very kind of claims that the president and his lawyers are making unsuccessfully every day, as their lawsuits are laughed out of one court after another. But, in the end, American democracy is stronger than any clumsy and cynical partisan political scheme....(2/3)
“Joe Biden, who won the presidency with more votes than any President-Elect in American history, will take the oath of office on January 20, 2021.” (3/3)
Refers to Barr’s latest moves, reported here by @ktbenner and @nytmike nytimes.com/2020/11/09/us/…
