In a stunning escalation of election integrity efforts, the FBI raided Fulton County’s elections headquarters in Union City, Georgia, on January 28, 2026, seizing 2020 ballots, voter rolls, tabulator tapes, and digital data. This action, authorized by a federal magistrate, targets long-standing allegations of irregularities in the county that delivered Joe Biden’s narrow Georgia win. Yet, what should be hailed as a pursuit of transparency has triggered a full-scale meltdown among mainstream media outlets, often accused of foreign financing and leftist bias, as they decry it as an “assault on democracy” and “weaponization of power.”
Critics argue these “propaganda mouthpieces”—many linked to globalist influences like George Soros through funding of progressive journalism initiatives—are in hysterics because the probe threatens to expose systemic flaws in the 2020 vote. Outlets like CNN, The New York Times, and MSNBC have flooded airwaves with outrage, framing the raid as President Donald Trump’s personal vendetta rather than a legitimate investigation. Democrats, including Sen. Jon Ossoff, echoed this, calling it a “spiraling out of control” abuse. The NAACP Legal Defense Fund condemned it as an attempt to validate “debunked” claims, ignoring affidavits and whistleblower accounts of fraud.
Georgia State Election Board member Janice Johnston appeared on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, detailing how she and colleague Salleigh Grubbs were blocked from observing the raid despite holding subpoenas for similar records. “They wouldn’t allow Salleigh or myself to get into the building,” Johnston recounted, highlighting how Fulton County Democrats were granted access while Republicans were stonewalled. Grubbs, the newest SEB member and Cobb County GOP chair, told reporters outside the facility that the action was “long overdue” and that “the people deserve answers.” She assumed the warrant targeted previously subpoenaed documents, underscoring a pattern of obstruction by local officials.
This blockade mirrors broader DNC tactics to hinder transparency, from fighting voter ID laws to resisting audits of ballots and voter rolls. As Grubbs noted, the refusal to “just see the votes, who voted, or the ballots” fuels suspicions of cover-ups. Republicans vow: “We will not allow another election to be stolen,” with Georgia GOP Chair Josh McKoon praising the raid as essential for restoring trust ahead of 2026 midterms.
The Fulton probe also reignites calls for reinvestigating cases like that of Tina Peters, the former Mesa County, Colorado, clerk serving nine years for exposing alleged voting machine vulnerabilities. Supporters, including Trump—who issued a symbolic pardon—demand a “new real investigation” into her claims, arguing her conviction was politically motivated. As appeals question her sentence’s severity, Peters symbolizes the fight against what conservatives call rigged systems.
This media frenzy exposes the desperation of foreign-influenced networks to protect the narrative. With Trump back in power, expect more revelations—and more meltdowns
