Few people have done more damage to the Republic than Marc Elias
Weakening election integrity measures in such a polarized political climate was - and should have been seen as - clearly immoral
Almost every other first-world country runs their elections in a manner where their integrity is beyond question
We could do that and we do not
Not to mention that Elias was the guy who hired Christopher Steele
He spent three years spreading misinformation to delegitimize the 2016 election results, and then one more to undermine confidence in the 2020 election
The integrity of elections, like Caesar's wife, should be beyond reproach
The 2020 election wasn't, and while there's plenty of blame to go around, Marc Elias bears a ton of it

People who are hating on Bill Barr should head over to liberal Twitter and see what they think of the man
Within the constraints of his position and the longstanding policies of the department he runs, Barr has done a ton of good for Trump personally and for the conservative cause more broadly
Barr doesn't run a star chamber, he can't just snap his fingers and jail people
He's also not a magician, he can't simply wave his hand and overturn the election results
He's de-politicized DOJ, which is what was badly needed
Kline basically went AWOL on the litigation, his lawyers stopped representing him because he wasn't talking to them, and Kline completely failed to comply with his discovery obligations
This is the end result
The adverse inferences are devastating
In short - if this goes to trial, the judge will instruct the jury to ASSUME AS TRUE that Kline conspired to engage in racially-motivated violence
The Third Circuit just ruled on the Trump campaign's challenge in Pennsylvania
3-0 loss, opinion from three Republican-appointed judges, and written by the lone Trump-appointed judge, that has the campaign losing on basically every important point
In the modern progressive mind, self-defense is available to individuals who 1) reasonably fear that they are facing imminent bodily harm and 2) are not young white men
