Atlanta FBI boss ousted after balking at 2020 election probe

The special agent in charge of the FBI’s Atlanta field office was forced out this month after questioning the Justice Department’s renewed push to probe Fulton County’s role in the 2020 election, two people familiar with the matter told MS NOW.

Paul Brown was ousted after expressing concerns about the FBI’s investigation into President Donald Trump’s longstanding and unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud in the county anchored by Atlanta, and for refusing to carry out the searches and seizures of records tied to the 2020 election, according to the sources, who spoke to MS NOW on condition of anonymity.

The FBI executed a search warrant Wednesday at the Fulton County Elections Hub and Operation Center near Atlanta, as part of a criminal investigation into records from the 2020 presidential election. Authorities seized 700 boxes related to the county’s 2020 general election.

Brown was appointed to oversee all investigations and personnel in Georgia last February. The Associated Press reported that the FBI moved to replace him last week.

when no one else could, I guarantee it. Real question is how many MAGAts will believe him?
They have heard 5 years of lies about it.
