More information emerged Wednesday about why President Donald Trump's administration raided an election office in Georgia on Wednesday.

Greg Bluestein, chief political reporter for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, received a copy of the warrant Trump's FBI used to enter the Fulton County Clerk's office and posted it on X. The warrant confirmed suspicions among some analysts that the raid was tied to Trump's insistence that he won Georgia in the 2020 presidential election.

The warrant gave Trump's FBI access to all records related to suspected record retention and other criminal violations that occurred during the 2020 general election. Those files include all the physical ballots, all tabular tapes from Fulton County's voting machines, all ballot images produced, and all voter rolls from the election.

1. Still seems like they dont know how they got that warrant

2. What will prevent him from disappearing all the evidence?

They'll need to clean out another bathroom at Mad-a-Largo

3. chain of Custody

Ballots are handled by election workers with verifiable chain of custody documentation. Will this FBI be able and willing to follow similar standard of procedures? The seized materials have probably already been compromised.

4. The GA folks who ran that 2020 election were Republicans, for God's sake. Never

could figure out in that taped phone call that Trump made, how he could ask for 11,780 more votes "because I won the state...." If he won the state, then why did he ask for more votes to be found? There were at least three official recounts made of those ballots.

5. Guv. Kemp said "No" on providing Georgia voter roll data.

Maybe trump is seeking sniveling revenge by wanting to find some detail to sue over.
