“Richard Pilger, a prosecutor at the Department of Justice (DOJ) who played a role in the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) targeting of conservative groups…”
IOW, Rick Pilfer is no typo.
Some more on Pilger.
When Pilger took over the Election Crimes division of the DOJ Criminal Division he rewrote a manual on investigating and prosecuting various types of election-related crimes. It tells Assistant US Attorneys that “they must consult with and obtain approval from Election Crimes Branch before an AUSA or FBI Agent can do anything operationally in response to an allegation that an election-related crime might have taken place”. Without their approval, there would be no investigation. In effect Barr has said to AUSA’s if you have substantial evidence of election fraud you have authority to investigate it. In doing so Barr has cut out the Election Crimes Division and Pilger as gatekeepers to starting investigations.

Two key conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices indicated they are inclined to uphold the bulk of the Affordable Care Act as the court weighed the fate of a landmark law that provides health-insurance to 20 million people.
I just love how Trump manages to get the moles to come out of the ground and into the daylight.
