An official in Fulton County, Georgia, has announced the county will challenge the legality of the FBI’s search and seizure of 2020 election records.

Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr. said the effort will seek to “force the government to return the ballots taken.”

Arrington said that the county’s attorneys are expected to file a motion in federal court in the Northern District of Georgia to fight the action of Trump’s Justice Department and the FBI.

The FBI served a warrant last Wednesday at the Fulton County election office, near Atlanta, Georgia, taking 700 boxes of election materials as it probes alleged voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

“I’ve asked the county attorney to take any and all steps available to fight this criminal search warrant,” Arrington said Monday in a press release.

“The search warrant, I believe, is not proper, but I think that there are ways that we can limit it,” the statement continues. “We want to ask for forensic accounting, we want the documents to stay in the State of Georgia under seal, and we want to do whatever we can to protect voter information.”

"We stole the election, but you cannot see the evidence".

Of course they will.

Rats.

They will be returned. After they are examined and found to be fraudulent. Why are they so concerned about getting ballots back from an election that happened five years ago?

Thou doth protest too much.

They will find a hack judge to help them. This makes me think they were too arrogant and stupid to delete all the evidence.

[rovenstinez]

I wonder if they were upset with the FBI raid on the Trump Residence in Florida...

[Organic Panic]

Which black foreign female Biden judge will grant this?

[VTenigma]

Hail Mary

[Libloather]

Now THAT’S what I call transparency.

“The search warrant, I believe, is not proper, but I think that there are ways that we can limit it,”

In other words, they're allowed to criticize the competence of the judge who issued it, but we're not allowed to when they seek court relief.

Maybe if they arrested the Governor and the SOS.

While you’re at it, grab the 2 ‘Rats in the US Senate.

The Peach State is rotten.

It's my firm belief President Trump should designate the illiberal socialist
left wing nut democrat party anti-American terrorists.

[Yogafist]

I don’t think that is the way it works. They can have a pretrial motion where they try to quash the warrant and prevent the presentation of evidence against them, but to interfere in the law enforcement end? I don’t think they can do that.

[virgil]

They had a warrant. This is just cover up and obstruction of justice.

[an amused spectator]

"We'll spend all your money, just getting the nose wet."
"Maybe tomorrow, we'll be back for more."

[piasa]

This definitely screams guilty.

[SharpRightTurn]

What are you trying to hide, Fulton County?

[dinodino]

They can have the ones back that are not required as evidence for the criminal trial...after all the forensics is done.

[FlipWilson]

So, they are going to go to Federal Court to have one handpicked Judge overrule a duly issued search warrant of one of his/her colleagues?

The FBI had a warrant that was issued upon a showing of probable cause. The judiciary is a mess.
