600 Boxes Seized, Zero Wrongdoing Found

Funny how this works. The FBI shows up at the Fulton County election office with a search warrant signed by a federal magistrate and walks out with over 600 boxes of 2020 election records. Six hundred. And the same people who told you for five years that everything was clean, everything was certified, nothing to see here are now telling you that the FBI carting off the evidence is no big deal either.

Ask yourself: if there’s nothing in those boxes, why does the FBI need all 600 of them? And if there IS something in those boxes, why were we told for five years that every recount and every investigation came up clean?

The court record is right there. Fulton County’s 2020 election was counted three times. Original count by tabulator machines. A hand-count risk-limiting audit. A third machine recount. The results were certified as official. Multiple investigations followed. Seven Hills Strategies, the Performance Review Board, the Secretary of State all issued reports. The official word: no wrongdoing.

Now the FBI has 600 boxes of the records. And Fulton County officials had to go to federal court to try to get their own property back.

Enter Mo Ivory. Law professor. Current Fulton County commissioner. Running for chair of the commission. She went on MS NOW with Jacob Soboroff and called the whole thing “part of a very well-planned thing by Donald Trump” to “dismantle the Constitution.” Her opponent is Republican Eric Tatum, and she’s framing this race as a last line of defense against election deniers taking over election oversight.

Here’s what gets me. Ivory was in office during the FBI raid. She’s a law professor who understands exactly what a search warrant means. And her response is to run for a different chair and go on cable news to talk about Trump? Not to ask why the FBI just seized 600 boxes of her county’s election records? Not to demand answers about what they’re looking for?

Funny how the people loudest about “defending democracy” never seem to ask the basic questions. The FBI raided an election office. That happened. A federal judge signed off on it. That happened. Over 600 boxes of records were taken. That happened. And the conversation we’re having is about election deniers running for office?

I don’t trust any of them. I don’t trust the election deniers who want to oversee elections they claim were stolen. And I don’t trust the law professors who tell you everything was perfect while the FBI is hauling away the evidence in a fleet of trucks.

The court document says Seven Hills Strategies found the absentee ballot counting process “extremely sloppy.” That’s the independent monitor’s word, not mine. Sloppy. But we were told no wrongdoing. Sloppy but clean. Six hundred boxes worth of sloppy, apparently.

Here’s what I know: when the government tells you everything is fine and then sends the FBI to collect the evidence, something doesn’t add up. When a law professor running for office uses the FBI raid as a campaign prop instead of demanding transparency, something doesn’t add up. And when 600 boxes of election records disappear into a federal building and nobody in power seems remotely curious about what’s in them, that’s when you know the little guy is being played.

They want you arguing about election deniers. They do not want you asking what’s in those boxes.

Editor’s note. The author's entire argument rests on a false premise that a federal judge would sign a warrant based on mere speculation, conveniently ignoring that the warrant was approved precisely because there was probable cause to believe the boxes contained evidence of a crime. (W.K.)
