(177,433 posts)47. Trump lawyers agree to unseal evidence presented for Georgia election raid
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.

OP
How far will these various federal agencies go before someone has a backbone and says "no"?

They're really going to try and prosecute those who were involved in 'rigging' the 2020 election.

I get that. But they had to have some evidence of a federal crime for the FBI to get involved ...

I expect this isn't about their 2020 lies, it's about preparing for 2026 and 2028 lies.

Another way to put this is "Trump was forced to unseal evidence... because of a court order."
