Attorney General William Barr said Monday he has seen no reason for a special counsel to investigate possible fraud in the November election, contradicting an idea proposed by President Donald Trump.

Barr, who is set to step down on Wednesday, said, "if I thought a special counsel was appropriate, I would name one, and I haven't."
"I said there was not enough fraud to affect the election and I stand by that," he said, noting what he said in an AP interview shortly before informing Trump during a White House meeting that he would resign.
Barr also said there is no federal authority to seize voting machines used in key states, as Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, has suggested he order.

“I see no basis now for seizing machines by the federal government, you know, a wholesale seizure of machines by the federal government," he said.
During a Friday meeting with Trump at the White House, a source said, Guiliani, lawyer Sydney Powell and retired Gen. Michael Flynn discussed an executive order to seize and examine voting machines across the country.

Trump invited Powell to consider the possibility that she be appointed a special counsel and be given high-level security clearances to investigate the 2020 election. The meeting was highly contentious, sources told ABC News, filled with screaming and demands from Powell, who called other Trump aids "quitters" for giving up the fight.

The meeting ended with White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, White House counsel Pat Cipollone and other Trump attorneys talking the president out of making the offer, the sources said. Giuliani, who joined the meeting by phone, also opposed the idea, according to sources.
Powell did not respond to ABC News' request for comment. She was at the White House Sunday as well, but the reason was unclear.
Barr's candid comments came when he answered reporters' questions at an unrelated news conference.
 
She is accepting the consequences of her actions. She stood in the way of
bigger payments before the elections in order to fuck up the re-election
prospects of Trump. Having succeeded, she is living with the result. She
knows she cannot get more out of the GOP

I don't know if she would have gotten them, but I'm sure she didn't want Trump to get that deal when he finally came around to it. For all the talk of the bigger numbers thrown around, Mitch is on the record saying he wasn't going to do more than $500B. And Mitch's word is the one that matters.

This is another example of the Dems being horrible at messaging. The real GOP starting point was actually $500B
