(Joshua Paladino, Headline USA) Former Attorney General Bill Barr spiked a Justice Department investigation into an election fraud case, in which a truck driver testified that he delivered as many as 288,000 ballots from New York to Pennsylvania.
In December 2020, US Postal Service employee Jesse Morgan testified in a sworn affidavit that he personally transferred thousands of ballots across state lines in the weeks leading up to the 2020 elections, Big League Politics reported.
The US Attorney for Eastern Pennsylvania began investigating Morgan’s allegations, but Barr told him to stop his work and send his findings to Democrat Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro.
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaffer, a 9/11 whistleblower, examined Morgan’s claims, found them credible enough to warrant a comprehensive investigation, and asked Barr to help him. Barr shouted him down and told him to stop investigating the ballot shipments.
Barr also refused to give Morgan status as a protected whistleblower.
“And I would argue that he [Barr] broke the law by refusing to accept that as a premise of him going in [to testify before the FBI],” Shaffer said.
After Barr quashed the investigation, attorney Tom King in Pennsylvania announced that the USPS would handle any further probe into the matter.
“I was involved in that case and we worked directly with the US Attorney Bill McSwain who is now a candidate for governor,” King said.
“We got the truck driver over to the FBI offices in DC and to date we have met nothing but resistance from the postal authorities to release the report done by the postal police and the FBI.”
King said he never heard anything more about the case.
McSwain, a Trump appointee, said that Barr told him “not to make any public statements or put out any press releases regarding possible election irregularities,” Gateway Pundit reported.
