Patriot Brief

  • What Happened: Federal agents raiding Fulton County's Department of Elections found only 656 boxes instead of the expected 700, leaving more than 40 boxes unaccounted for.
  • Why It Matters: The Atlanta FBI chief was forced out before the raid after refusing to investigate 2020 election fraud allegations and blocking the searches and seizures.
  • Bottom Line: The missing boxes and the removal of an obstructionist FBI agent are raising serious questions about what Fulton County is hiding.

More than 40 boxes of election materials are missing in Fulton County, Georgia, and somebody needs to answer for it.

When federal agents raided the Fulton County Department of Elections in late January, they were expecting to confiscate 700 boxes of election materials. When the dust settled, officials could only locate 656 boxes. More than 40 boxes are simply gone.

But that is only half the story. Before the raid even happened, the head of the Atlanta FBI field office was removed from his position. Paul Brown, the FBI Special Agent in Charge at the Atlanta Field Office, was forced out after refusing to carry out the searches and seizures tied to the 2020 election investigation.

According to MSNBC's Ken Dilanian, Brown was pushed out after "expressing concern" about what he called "unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud" in Fulton County. He refused to investigate President Trump's longstanding claims about election fraud in the county anchored by Atlanta.

Let that sink in. A sitting FBI agent refused to carry out a lawful investigation ordered by the Justice Department. He was removed. And now more than 40 boxes of election materials that federal agents expected to find are nowhere to be found.

This is not a coincidence. An FBI chief blocks an election fraud investigation for years, gets fired, and then the very materials federal agents come looking for are missing.

The American people deserve answers. Where are the 40 missing boxes? Who had access to them? And why was a federal agent so determined to protect Fulton County that he risked his entire career to block this investigation?

Fulton County has been at the center of 2020 election controversy since election night. Now that federal agents have finally shown up to get answers, the evidence is short by more than 40 boxes.

Someone knows exactly where those boxes are. And it is time they started talking.
