Opinion: Why does the FBI really want Fulton County election records?
(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) It was disclosed last week that FBI Director Kash Patel had diverted 260 analysts from crime fighting to review Fulton County’s 2020 presidential election records. What could possibly justify such a “priority project”?
According to its own affidavit, the FBI is acting on allegations that are not only time-barred by the statute of limitations but have been thoroughly debunked by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the secretary of state and the FBI itself.
Many people say the administration’s real goal is to intimidate Democrats before the midterms, even if it means bringing bogus indictments before the election. There’s plenty of evidence to support that idea, and I discuss other ways election deniers hope to misuse state and local election data in my new book, “Stealing Elections, American Style.” But there is one particular way Fulton’s records are likely to be misused that we need to be especially wary of.
