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.

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….

“So if that’s not the purpose, then the purpose must be to create a false narrative around election security that’s designed to destabilize the #2026election, & what they might use that narrative to justify in terms of executive power in the states,” Becker added.
Almost nothing about the search on Wednesday was typical, or immediately explicable.

Neither the #FBI nor the #DOJ would say what prompted them to seek the warrant. But a county official confirmed the focus was on reviewing ballots from 2020.
One of the most jarring elements was the unexplained presence of #TulsiGabbard, the director of national intelligence [ #DNI], at the scene.
Gabbard has seized on the issue of election fraud, in part to solidify her status in the West Wing after a rocky first year in office in which her stock rose, fell & rose again.
