In the midst of a forensic investigation of some questioned ballots in Georgia, the FBI seized the ballots. Patrick Byrne, the former CEO of Overstock.com, characterized this action as "obstruction of justice. Rather than let an examination of the evidence find out whether these ballots were legitimate or not, the heavy hand of federal police not only intervened, they destroyed the evidence by having it immediately and irretrievably shredded."
FBI Director Christopher Wray rebuffed the obstruction charge, insisting that "when the FBI does it it's not obstruction. Our agency is not solely dedicated to the pursuit of justice. We also handle matters of national security. It was our determination that any insinuation that any ballots might be illegitimate posed a clear and present danger to the government. By January 9th Joe Biden had already been declared president-elect. Any so-called evidence that could cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election would undermine his administration. Consequently, preventing this possibility was our solemn duty."
Wray bolstered his position by pointing out "how grateful President Biden was for our quick and decisive action on this matter. He said he was especially pleased that we handled the issue expeditiously on our own standing authority—that it was good to know that he could count on us to do the right thing without him having to explicitly order it done."
