A bombshell report from a whistleblower has set off alarms among Arizona’s voters and political leaders, as new revelations have surfaced about an alleged plan by the FBI to deploy plainclothes agents to polling stations in Maricopa County.
According to a whistleblower who attended a recent security briefing, the FBI’s primary objective with this operation is to monitor Trump voters during the upcoming election—a disturbing indication of federal interference aimed at intimidating those who dare to support the 45th president.
Representative Alexander Kolodin (R-AZ) was quick to act, sending a forceful letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, warning that such actions would not be tolerated.
In the letter, Kolodin made it clear that the House is prepared to take immediate action against any attempts by federal agents to intimidate or censor voters in Arizona.
“I sincerely hope that this disturbing allegation is false. Rest assured, however, that if your agents are here for any other purpose than ensuring that every lawful voter is able to cast a ballot, the House is prepared to take immediate action to secure all Arizonans the equal protection of the laws,” Kolodin wrote.
The letter expresses deep concern over the alleged deployment of FBI agents in Maricopa County polling stations, with the intent to monitor and intimidate Trump voters specifically.
The whistleblower claims that the agents were tasked with making sure Trump voters “don’t get out of line,” a vague but menacing directive that could lead to widespread voter suppression.
Kolodin cited the FBI’s recent track record of election interference and censorship of speech that is unfavorable to the Biden-Harris administration.
He referred to a court case in Arizona, American Encore v. Adrian Fontes et al., where a rule was blocked that allowed voters to be removed from polling places if they criticized election workers.
Kolodin’s letter goes on to remind Director Wray that, under U.S. Code § 1985(3), federal agents are prohibited from disguising themselves on the premises of others for the purpose of preventing or hindering local authorities from ensuring equal protection of the laws.
The letter also highlights that presidential elections are administered by state, not federal law, making any interference from federal agents a dangerous overreach.
The representative encouraged any Arizonans who experience violations of their civil rights at the polls to file complaints with the U.S. Attorney’s office and to report incidents to his office.
Kolodin expressed little faith that the Biden-Harris regime would take these complaints seriously but emphasized the importance of documenting any voter intimidation efforts in the event of post-election litigation.
Kolodin concluded his letter with a message to Arizona voters: “Do not be deterred from voting by these last, desperate acts of a dying regime about to be swept away by the winds of history. Rest assured, if the powers that be were confident of the outcome, they would not be trying so hard to keep you away from the polls.”
Election Integrity Investigator Bryan James Blehm reached out to the FBI.
The FBI allegedly denies the claim, stating that these allegations are false and clarifying that federal law prohibits armed federal personnel from being at polling places unless there’s an urgent, life-threatening situation.
Blehm wrote:
In response to should be Congressman Kolodin, the Department of Injustice has just stated:
“Thank you for reaching out. The following is attributable to the FBI:
The allegations stated in the letter are categorically false. Federal law prohibits the presence of armed federal personnel at polling places, absent exigent life-threatening emergencies.”
Is this an admission that they intend to have unarmed agents there and that we will be able to ask Ray Epps for an autograph at the polling centers?
Submit additional information.
“...armed federal personnel...”
What if they leave their weapons at home?
“It depends on your meaning of IS.”
I’ll take “Voter Intimidation” for $500 Alex.
What’s next for this fascist DIMocRAT maladministration???
Well, where is that pic of the “plain clothes FBI guys”? The one where they are all same age, level of fitness, etc.
We just need to know what to be on the lookout for.
probably the same guys!......with a woman and a black guy thrown in for DEI brownie points..............

1) The FBI has no police powers.
2) Polling places are under state and county jurisdiction.
I hope (and suspect) that it’s a false rumor as well - the FIB isn’t staffed sufficiently to cover all the polls. But sometimes a simple presence is enough - 19 August, 1934, the NSDAP provided a benevolent supervision of the polls in Germany without firing a shot. Amazingly, the Nazis got 90% of the vote.
Now, I'm convinced. It ain't true until they deny it!
We are the year 2024 version of the Jewish in nazi germany in the 1940's.
And this will be NATIONWIDE.

I don’t understand. How will the FBI know who is voting for Trump ? And if they do what exactly is the intimidation ?
The Cartels won’t like the FBI looking into election matters after spending billions to support their liberal open border candidates.
Security personnel inadvisedly dispatched by New Jersey pubbies to overwhelmingly donkey-party-heavy polling locations resulted in a Consent Decree that, for decades, utterly hobbled the national pubbie party’s efforts to detect and fight against continually increasing and rampant donkey party voter and election fraud.
Of course it’s okay if the FBI decides to intimidate pubbie voters.
Well now ... if the FedGov is going to have their version of poll watchers, how ‘bout we have a few guys standing around wearing caps that have ‘I.N.S.’ on the front. That may cut down on the illegals voting ...
If the Feds ask what ‘I.N.S.’ means be ready to answer
‘Imploding Neutron Star’ or ‘Introverted Nagging Society’ or some such word salad.
Don’t be surprised when the FIB suddenly files charges on Alexander.
Simple. If you see anyone who has a brush cut and aviator sunglasses at the polls, ask them if they’re a fed. When they refuse to answer, CALL THEM OUT LOUDLY so everyone in line hears.
The FBI absolutely has police powers. Next?
