Trump: Did you find the votes ?

Gabbard: Yes

T: Good, where were they ?

G: In the briefcase you gave me before I left

T: ...

G: Sorry, I mean they were in a locked desk drawer in the main office

Even I'm shocked at the idea that Donald Trump personally spoke with a team of FBI field agents, in the midst of their corrupt ballot gathering operation in Fulton County. That it was arranged by Tulsi Gabbard, a cabinet member, is also corrupt, but secondary.

If nothing else, that should doom the propriety and legality of this corrupt op.

By any measure, the #FBI’s search of an election center in #FultonCounty, #Georgia, last week was extraordinary. Agents seized truckloads of 2020 ballots, as #Trump harnessed the levers of government to not only buttress his false claims of widespread voter fraud, but also to try to build a #criminal case against those he believes wronged him.

What happened the next day was in some ways even more unusual….

Behind closed doors, #DNI #TulsiGabbard met with some of the same #FBI agents, members of the bureau’s field office in #Atlanta, which is conducting the #election inquiry, 3 people with knowledge said. Neither could say why Gabbard, who also appeared on site at the search, was there, but her continued presence has raised eyebrows given that her role overseeing the nation’s intelligence agencies does not include on-site involvement in domestic #criminal investigative work.

What occurred during the meeting was even further outside the bounds of normal law enforcement #procedure. #TulsiGabbard used her cellphone to call #Trump, who did not initially pick up but called back shortly after, the people said.

Trump addressed the agents on speakerphone, asking them questions as well as praising & thanking them for their work on the inquiry, acc/to 3 people with knowledge of the discussion.

@Nonilex More witnesses to subpoena. Trump is the worst criminal ever.

The supervisor of the squad, which investigates allegations of public #corruption & #CivilRights violations & “developed” the “evidence” for the search, primarily fielded Trump’s queries, the people said. One US official said the call was fairly short, perhaps just a minute long, & compared the conversation to a pep rally or a coach giving an encouraging halftime speech to *his* players. That person said #Trump gave no substantive direction to the investigators.

#Trump PERSONALLY ORDERED #TulsiGabbard to go to #Atlanta for the search, & coordinated her actions with Andrew Bailey, 1 of 2 deputy #FBI directors, acc/to the #US official.

A White House spox, Davis Ingle, defended the admin’s efforts in #Georgia. “President Trump pledged to secure America’s elections, & he has tasked the most talented team of patriots to do just that,” Ingle said.

Ingle added, “President Trump has full confidence in his entire team. DNI Gabbard & FBI Director Patel are working together to implement the president’s election integrity priorities, & their work continues to serve him & the entire country well.”

Even for a president who has radically transformed the #DOJ & #FBI by trampling over their political #independence & using them as tools for personal #retribution, #Trump appears to be taking that kind of involvement to a new level.
