  1. Jessica Turlov, stop being a sounding board for idiots who circumvent the rules to interfere with the election. I would guess you aren't as smart as you look. The Librarian look is not helping you get any smarter, and that's a fact.

  2. The RULE stated by the Judge is directly out of the DOJ Rule Book, and is pasted here so you won't have to look it up. 9-85.500 Actions that May Have an Impact on an Election Federal prosecutors and agents may never select the timing of any action, including investigative steps, criminal charges, or statements, for the purpose of affecting any election, or for the purpose of giving an advantage or disadvantage to any candidate or political party. Such a purpose is inconsistent with the Department’s mission and with the Principles of Federal Prosecution. See § 9-27.260. Any action likely to raise an issue or the perception of an issue under this provision requires consultation with the Public Integrity Section, and such action shall not be taken if the Public Integrity Section advises that further consultation is required with the Deputy Attorney General or Attorney General.
