Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian break down the FBI's unprecedented seizure of 2020 election ballots from Fulton County, Georgia. Federal agents executed a search warrant at the county's election warehouse, carting away 700 boxes of physical ballots, digital ballot images, and voter rollsfrom an election that was counted, recounted, hand-counted, audited, and litigated over 60 times. No fraud was ever found.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was on site, marking the first time a cabinet-level official has ever attended the execution of a search warrant. Brian and Shant lay out the real reasons behind this raid: sowing doubt in elections, intimidating perceived enemies, testing the bounds of election interference for future cycles, and keeping the 2020 fraud narrative alive for the MAGA base.
A federal magistrate signed off on the warrant, but the hosts predict this will go nowhere legallythere's no viable statute of limitations for prosecution, and the ballots have already been verified. The damage is the point: now Fulton County can no longer certify chain of custody. This isn't law enforcement. It's retribution dressed up as one. - 02/05/2026.

This case is over five years old. I have trouble believing that there was actual evidence necessary to support this type of search warrant. The affidavit and evidence used to get this search warrant will be released.
Trump lawyers agree to unseal evidence presented for Georgia election raid

President Donald Trump's lawyers have agreed to unseal evidence they presented to secure a search warrant used to justify a recent raid at an election office in Georgia, according to a new court order.
Federal Judge J.P. Boulee of the Northern District of Georgia, a Trump appointee, wrote in a court order published on Sunday that Trump's lawyers have agreed to unseal the affidavit used to secure the search warrant for the Fulton County election hub. Boulee ordered the administration to publish the affidavit by the end of the day on February 10.
The order also requires the court to unseal the case docket, giving the public further insight into the Trump administration's evidence.
Politico's Josh Gerstein first reported on the court order.
Last week, Trump's FBI took more than 700 boxes of material related to the 2020 general election from the office. The search warrant states that the Trump administration can turn the material over to third-party vendors for inspection, which has raised concerns that the data could be used to manipulate the results of the upcoming midterm elections.
Trump has consistently claimed that he won the 2020 general election in Georgia, even though he was unable to support that claim in more than 60 court cases challenging the election results. Trump also called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and demanded that he find more than 11,000 votes for Trump to win the state.
