Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal.

This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

We all know he tried to bargain Minnesota and Oregon to get their grimy hands on these state's voter rolls. If they succeed it is game over.

Political parties get voter rolls all the time. The states sell them. The federal government has all the rest of the data they claim they want from the states.

The stuff going on in GA is only because Trump is fixated on the idea, and has been for the last 5 years, that he somehow "won" the state.

The immigration raids are targeted at big urban areas and to try to intimidate Democrats. Miller's goal as much as removing anyone who doesn't look like him, is also to "own the libs". That obviously is not working.

The Pretti murder has Trump/Miller/Noem/DHS on their heels. They want to figure a way out without it looking like surrender. Bondi suddenly entering the picture willing to trade voter roles for ICE et al leaving is her idea of how to do it. But ICE et al are going to leave because they've bitten off way more than they can chew.
