Federal judge helped FBI agent correct flaws in Fulton County search warrant application
Since the FBI seized more than 650 boxes of 2020 election records from Fulton County, Georgia, one major question has remained unanswered: How did the Department of Justice (DOJ) convince a federal judge to sign off on the search warrant?
In their lawsuit seeking the return of the materials, Fulton County officials have alleged that U.S. Magistrate Judge Catherine Salinas, who signed the warrant, was duped by an FBI agent who submitted an affidavit that relied on long-debunked and factually unsupported election fraud claims from notorious conspiracy theorists.
Now, new documents released in Fulton County’s lawsuit show that Salinas found flaws in the FBI agent’s original affidavit and, rather than rejecting the search warrant application, helped the agent refine his request and his flawed theory of probable cause.
The morning of the FBI’s raid on Fulton County’s main election hub, Salinas emailed FBI special agent Hugh Raymond Evans, saying she was ready to swear out his search warrant request after he made two corrections.
