Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents, armed with a search warrant for 2020 presidential election records, reportedly hauled away 700 boxes from the Fulton County Election warehouse. Greg Bluestein, chief political reporter for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, posted a copy of the warrant on his X page. Physical ballots, tabulator tapes, ballot images, and voter rolls from the 2020 presidential election were named on the warrant as the property to be seized.
The search comes on the heels of the Civil Rights Division of the US Department of Justice filing a lawsuit last month against Fulton County Clerk of Court Che Alexander for records related to the 2020 election. The Justice Department filed a similar lawsuit against Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, which was dismissed by a federal judge, without prejudice – for lack of jurisdiction – five days before the FBI search.
In September, the Justice Department issued a subpoena for the travel records of Fani Willis, the embattled Democrat Fulton County district attorney who criminally charged President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants, accusing them of interference in the 2020 presidential election.
Finally, the prosecutor who took over Willis’ case against Trump in November declined to prosecute it, putting an end to the unprecedented 27-month criminal prosecution of a president, which played into his 2024 campaign to return to the White House.
On November 4, 2020, the morning after the election, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told CNN:
“We have about 2% left to go. And you can see where are right now with the results that have been reported. I don’t think they’ll change any of the outcomes…When you look at how many votes are out there, even if one of the candidates got 100%, it probably wouldn’t be enough to move it one way or the other.”
The graphic that appeared in boxes on the screen with Raffensperger portrayed Trump was winning by 103,705 votes at 50.5% to Joe Biden’s 48.3%.
Liberty Nation News spoke with state Senator Greg Dolezal (R-GA) on Saturday, who is running to be the state’s next Lt. Governor. He said believes the voter irregularities preceded the 2020 Presidential Election:
“Back in 2020, we knew that there were a lot of improprieties. We knew that the signature match that was required under Georgia law to receive an absentee ballot – it was essentially not happening. In fact, back then, you can go look at this on my X feed. If you go back to 2020, I tested the system myself. I botched my signature, requested an absentee ballot with a signature that did not resemble my actual signature at all, and received my ballot in the mail, which I should not have. We had a number of other people test the system…we had one individual in Fulton County who had his child sign his signature, and sure enough, the ballot came.”
Raffensperger is now running for governor of Georgia in a crowded field of Republicans and Democrats. Lt. Governor Burt Jones is running against Raffensperger in the Republican primary. In reaction to the FBI search on Thursday, Jones wrote on X:
“Fulton County Elections couldn’t run a bake sale. And unfortunately, our Secretary of State hasn’t fixed the corruption and our Attorney General hasn’t prosecuted it. Today is an important step toward accountability.”
Two things have raised the ire of leftists and lawmakers: the presence of US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard with FBI agents and a US attorney in Missouri, rather than Georgia, overseeing the warrant.
In the first of a series of rants on X, Sen. Mark Warner, (D-VA), Vice Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, wrote: “Either [this] is a serious breach of trust that further underscores why she is totally unqualified to hold a position that demands sound judgment, apolitical independence, and a singular focus on keeping Americans safe.”
On Thursday, Warner and fellow Democrat and Ranking Member on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Jim Himes, wrote Gabbard a letter saying:
“We request that you appear before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence immediately to address the following: 1. Your reasoning for attending the FBI operation in Fulton County and what role you or any other IC employee has played in the conduct of this operation; 2. Under what legal authorities you or any other IC employee was involved in this operation; and 3. An update on any intelligence in your possession concerning foreign interference in U.S. elections, including the 2020 election and subsequent election cycles, and information on any analysis or activity IC personnel are conducting, or have conducted in the past year, related to the 2020 election.”
DNI Tulsi Gabbard “doesn’t work for the Department of Justice or the FBI. She’s an extraordinarily important part of this administration,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, responding to reporter’s question about Gabbard being on site at the FBI search, said. “This administration coordinates everything we do as a group. And so, I think her presence shouldn’t be, there shouldn’t be questions. Of course, that’s a big part of her job. And so, the fact that she was present in Atlanta that day, you know, is something that shouldn’t surprise anybody.”
As for the US attorney overseeing the search warrant the FBI executed on Fulton County’s election office, Thomas Albus was reportedly specially appointed by US Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate election integrity cases nationwide, according to Bloomberg Law.
Three weeks after the 2020 presidential election, four Georgia State Republican senators, Greg Dolezal, William Ligon, Brandon Beach, and then-Sen. Burt Jones, called on Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, and the general assembly to call a special session. They wanted to “address structural issues with Georgia’s voting system before the January runoff…address directives from the Secretary of State and the State Election Board that attempt to replace the conditions of Georgia law,” and hear evidence of voter fraud from the Government Oversight Committee hearings.
There was pushback at the time. Dolezal told LNN on Saturday:
“I think that there was concern over whether or not we could certify the election in time, according to the deadline. I think that there was…impression from some people, that, you know…everything was just a conspiracy theory. I think there was some concern that we couldn’t deliver…in time, reports, and evidence of either a clean election or a dirty election, because the clock was ticking up until when we had to send our electors, and certify our elections.”
Dolezal is continuing his call on the Fulton County registrar to clean up Georgia’s voter rolls. On Friday, he posted a video montage on X of himself in front of the UPS Store, an abandoned house, and a homeless shelter that closed in 2017, to demonstrate where dozens of people were registered to vote. “The Fulton County registrar – this is their job,” he said. “They are the ones that are supposed to keep the voter rolls clean. And like I’ve said before, and Fani Willis got mad when I said it, it’s always Fulton County. And Fulton County has got to get their act cleaned up.”
Paul Brown, FBI Special Agent-in-Charge of the Atlanta Field Office reportedly retired last week just days ahead of the agency’s search of the Fulton County Election Hub. Despite media speculation, it is unclear if Brown’s retirement is related.
President Trump hinted to an investigation when he briefed the White House press corps on the one-year anniversary of his second term. After showing several mugshots of convicted criminal illegal aliens, whom ICE agents had arrested in Minnesota, the president said:
“All allowed in here by an open border policy of the worst president in the history of our country, a man that didn’t win the election, by the way. It was a rigged election. Everybody knows that now. And by the way, numbers are coming out that show it even more plainly. We caught them. We caught them.”
The following day, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump dropped another hint of impending prosecutions, woven into a reference to the war in Ukraine.
“It’s a war that should have never started and it wouldn’t have started, if the 2020 US presidential election weren’t rigged,” Trump said. “It was a rigged election. Everybody now knows that. They found out. People will soon be prosecuted for what they did.”
Pundits on both sides of the aisle are on high alert for the next move.
