I'm writing because I'm genuinely alarmed by what I read this week. The FBI has issued a memo directing 260 analysts and staff to "surge" into an investigation of the 2020 presidential election in Fulton County, Georgia — a race that was certified, audited, recounted, and upheld in court more than five years ago. I believe in law enforcement. I want the FBI focused on real threats to real people. Pulling hundreds of agents into a relitigated election that has already been examined from every angle is not justice — it's a political exercise paid for with my tax dollars.
Think about what 260 FBI personnel actually costs. Think about the violent crime cases not being worked, the child exploitation tips sitting in a queue, the cybersecurity threats going unexamined while agents are directed to comb through a settled election. Georgia officials — Republicans and Democrats — certified those results. Federal courts upheld them. Every serious review reached the same conclusion. There is no new evidence that justifies this kind of resource commitment, and the American people deserve to know who ordered this and why.
I'm asking you to publicly oppose this FBI investigation of the 2020 Fulton County election results, demand a full accounting of how many agents and how much funding are being redirected, and call for those resources to be returned immediately to active public safety cases.
Please say clearly and publicly that this is not an appropriate use of federal law enforcement — and fight to claw back those resources for the work the FBI is actually supposed to be doing.
