The U.S. Department of Justice will refocus much of its staff and resources on the “total elimination” of drug cartels and transnational criminal organizations in the U.S. while disbanding units dedicated to prosecuting white-collar crime and kleptocrats and tracking foreign efforts to influence U.S. elections.
The election interference the article references is regarding the foreign influences. I mean the heading literally says, “Foreign influence prosecutions refocused,” and says, “disbanding units dedicated to prosecuting white-collar crime and kleptocrats and tracking foreign efforts to influence U.S. elections.”
Are you saying that was a lie?
They = Republicans
Cared so much = eliminating oversight into election interference. This is sarcasm.
Lie = sowing doubt about our election systems for the last several years and suddenly silent now that they won.
Cheat = controlling information flow by manipulating corporations, disenfranchising voters, reducing access to polls, passing laws to restrict voting rights, etc.
OK but my confusion is that none of that is even what the article is about or found anywhere in the article so I thought I was missing something or misread it.
I just think you are unaware of the context. This story is about the new administration setting priorities. Were you aware that previously there were many accusations of voter fraud, even if unproven, by the Republicans.
Why would the people who complained the most suddenly decide it is not a priority. My comment was just a sarcastic take on that one issue because it is kind of a big deal.
