FBI raids Fulton County election office, fueling Sidney Powell's comeback.
The US Justice Department has raided the elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, and seized all 2020 ballots. The move comes after the state's election board, packed with MAGA loyalists, attempted to obtain the ballots and other documents. This effort is seen as a bid to take over the election system from the county and install GOP apparatchiks.
Sidney Powell, notorious for her claims of election interference, seems to be enjoying this development. She recently took a photo with Ed Martin, the former acting US Attorney for DC who was unable to be confirmed by the Senate. Their picture captioned "Good morning, America" appears to signal that the Big Lie is back.
The FBI raid and subsequent seizures of ballots may also help explain why Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has been spotted at the Fulton County election office. Trump has tasked her with leading an administration-wide effort to find proof of tampering in the 2020 election, which is likely a reference to Powell's baseless claims.
The situation highlights how far Trump and his allies have gone in their quest to undermine the US electoral system. The Justice Department has been filing lawsuits against states that refused to provide voter rolls to the federal government, including Minnesota where Attorney General Pam Bondi tried to extort the list.
Gabbard's involvement indicates she may be looking at Powell's foreign interference charges related to Dominion and Smartmatic voting machines. Conspiracy theories abound about Venezuela's role in US elections, with some claiming that former President NicolΓ‘s Maduro is willing to testify against his country's alleged interference.
The Republican Party aims to build a voting system in Georgia and other states that will give the GOP a permanent electoral advantage using Trump's Big Lie. With the Supreme Court poised to fulfill Chief Justice John Roberts' dream of overturning the Voting Rights Act, their efforts may soon bear fruit.
