The Trump-appointed prosecutor installed recently as the acting U.S. attorney in Atlanta said Monday that his office would not pursue spurious election fraud-related cases, assuming the same position that drew White House ire for his predecessor.

In a recording obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution acting U.S. Attorney Bobby Christine said Monday he had already rejected two "high profile" election-related cases within the office's jurisdiction.

"I can tell you I closed the two most — I don't know, I guess you'd call them high profile or the two most pressing election issues this office has," he said. "I said I believe, as many of the people around the table believed, there's just nothing to them."

The former U.S. attorney for Northern District of Georgia, Byung "BJay" Pak, resigned last week and was replaced by Christine. The Trump administration passed over the top career prosecutor — who typically takes over in the event of an emergency or sudden vacancy — as Pak's replacement, opting instead for Christine, who had served as the U.S. Attorney for the southern part of the state.

Christine said he had been named the acting U.S. attorney shortly thereafter "by written order of the President."

Bobby Christine’s decision not to take up a hobbyhorse of the president is likely to reassure some skeptics.

At this point, I almost can't enjoy any more L's. Almost. Though I'd prefer just to never have to think of this shit strain ever again.

Yeah. They weren't going to risk being impeached & removed for it & possibly go to jail behind him.

Seems no one told Orange Fuckwad that once he appoints these judges they don't really owe him anything since its for life. I'd wager given he surrounds himself with morons that no one else realized that either until it was too late.
