FBI fires 2 analysts who raised concerns about Fulton County 2020 election probe, sources say

Key Points:

• The FBI recently fired two analysts who raised concerns about the 2020 election investigation in Fulton County, Georgia, citing insufficient evidence and potential political bias.
• The investigation involves reviewing thousands of records, including physical ballots, vote-tabulating machine tapes, and voter data, with 260 analysts tasked to cross-check information against the commercial database Accurint.
• There are concerns about the accuracy of Accurint data and the potential for the investigation's findings to be misused to challenge the legitimacy of the 2020 election ahead of upcoming midterms.
• The probe was initiated following a referral by Kurt Olsen, a Justice Department lawyer previously involved in efforts to overturn election results, and Fulton County officials have attempted to halt the investigation.
• A judge denied Fulton County's request to return the seized ballots, allowing the FBI to continue its review through the July 17 deadline.
