earch warrant affidavits unsealed on Tuesday lay out the FBI’s justifications for seizing hundreds of boxes of ballots and other materials related to Fulton County, Georgia’s “extremely sloppy” administration of the 2020 presidential election. So The Washington Post and the rest of the propaganda press sprang into action, smearing witnesses who raise legitimate concerns about the Fulton County election mess as — you guessed it — “election deniers.”
But the FBI’s application for the warrant used in last month’s raid of the county’s election warehouse concludes there is probable cause that election officials may have broken federal law. A federal magistrate agreed.
“This warrant application is part of an FBI criminal investigation into whether any of the improprieties were intentional acts that violated federal criminal laws,” the unsealed affidavit states.
The Post insists the “FBI relied heavily on previously debunked claims of widespread election irregularities in Georgia” in obtaining the warrant, relying on “prominent election deniers” to make its case. The Trump-hating publication, however, omits some troubling information, including post-election audit reports finding “chain of custody issues, ballots left unattended, unsealed bags being used, and auditors not recording seal numbers on ballot bags,” according to the affidavit. The Post’s story says nothing of the independent monitor whose review noted Fulton County’s absentee processes were “extremely sloppy and replete with chain of custody issues.”
