🚨 DOJ IS ACCELERATING ELECTION PROSECUTIONS BEFORE THE MIDTERMS. Some cases are real. Some defendants are accused of illegally voting. That's not the receipt I'm watching. Career prosecutors were just told they can no longer independently decline certain election cases when federal agents want charges. If they disagree? POLITICAL LEADERSHIP GETS THE FINAL SAY. Meanwhile, a DOJ official says prosecutions will likely increase as November 3 approaches. Now read DOJ's own rule: Charges must NEVER be timed for the purpose of affecting an election. There is no evidence yet that DOJ has violated that rule in a specific case. But it leaves one hell of an accountability question: ARE MORE CASES BEING CHARGED NOW BECAUSE THE EVIDENCE IS READY NOW — OR BECAUSE THE ELECTION IS?
