Bill Barr says Justice Dept. has NOT found fraud ‘on a scale’ that would affect election result. Twitter says FIRE BARR.

Attorney General Bill Barr took over the news in the last hour when it was revealed that he said THIS to the AP: “To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.”

Right away, the blue check Twitter throngs made snarky comments about how quickly Trump would be firing Barr. And plenty of folks on MAGA Twitter made the same suggestion, but not snarky.

Here’s what the AP reports:

Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday the Justice Department has not uncovered evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

His comments come despite President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that the election was stolen, and his refusal to concede his loss to President-Elect Joe Biden.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said U.S. attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific complaints and information they’ve received, but they’ve uncovered no evidence that would change the outcome of the election.

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election,” Barr told the AP.

The comments are especially direct coming from Barr, who has been one of the president’s most ardent allies. Before the election, he had repeatedly raised the notion that mail-in voter fraud could be especially vulnerable to fraud during the coronavirus pandemic as Americans feared going to polls and instead chose to vote by mail.

And the tweeting began.

But do they accidentally have a point?

Anyway, whether ironically or genuinely, there seems to be some agreement on this:

I’ll tell y’all one thing for sure, though: this is going to be the rest of the day and maybe tomorrow too on the left and in the press.
