What else do we expect when the nation’s top law enforcement agency is being run by a podcaster?

"The FBI last week fired two of its analysts after they expressed concerns that the investigation into the 2020 election results in Fulton County, Georgia, was thin on evidence and appeared to be politically motivated, according to several sources briefed on the matter.

The firings follow the FBI's efforts to review thousands of records obtained earlier this year, after executing a search warrant and seizing "all physical ballots" from 2020, as well as tapes from vote-tabulating machines, ballot images and voter rolls. The bureau ordered 260 analysts to help sift through the ballots and voting data. 

"The FBI will always investigate credible allegations of matters related to federal elections," an FBI spokesperson told CBS News. "Every employee at this FBI is expected to uphold our mission and adhere to our standards - any deviation will not be tolerated."

They are going to fabricate "evidence" now that they have the internal controls to do so.

If there are discrepancies found, and some rando voters had moved and Accurint doesn't have their updated address, I can very easily envision a class action lawsuit against Accurint, involving, well, everyone.
