There is an interesting article in Forbes today about a previously unknown FBI raid in Maricopa County, Arizona, where agents seized computers, hard drives, USB sticks and electronic devices in connection with a cyber intrusion into election systems.
The Maricopa County Registrars office reports more than 2.5 million registered voters are within the system that appears to have been the targeted office of the intrusion.
The FBI isn’t talking, and the story only surfaced as an outcome of one part, the search warrant, of a sealed court filing. Forbes Story Here
[…] “The Justice Department in Arizona told Forbes it couldn’t comment. An FBI spokesperson said they could neither confirm nor deny any investigation. The full scope of the investigation and the breach of Maricopa County’s website remains under seal.” (more)
Considering what the past several years have revealed about the FBI; and considering the recent evidence of the FBI purposefully burying information from within the Hunter Biden laptop for over a year; it seems entirely possible this Arizona FBI effort was more intended to hide the reality of election vulnerabilities and intrusions, as opposed to investigating them?
How sad is it that we carry such unfortunate perspectives in our mind?
The FBI now more closely resembles, essentially, what we previously called Soviet-era “state police”. FUBAR.
FBI
Sad.
housekeeping: Maricopa County, I reckon
A cornucopia of corruption.
aka the “McCain Machine”…
still goin strong from the grave.
Don’t worry, folks. Bill Barf is on the case.
Mama Cash Cindy in charge?
The FBI is the blackmail team for the deep state. Corrupt politicians can be owned and controlled. Loeffler and Purdue got caught insider trading. Mitch instructed them to lose in return for a get out of jail card. Kemp cheated stacy Abrams. He got caught. Now he is instructed to cheat Trump. And so it goes. Mitch is in the minority and can go back to selling votes.
Fiends and Bribed Investigators – nothing more, nothing less. Sad is correct!
Only tangentially related: if you saw the crowd at President Trump’s rally in Georgia last night, particularly when they were chanting, “FIGHT FOR TRUMP,” you know why GA. Gov. Brian Kemp wasn’t there.
I am sure his security detail told him he might not make it out alive if he attended, which of course assumes that he would have had any desire to be in any location where he might have to look President Donald Trump in the eye. I am sure he knows his political career is finished. I suspect he wants now only to take his ill-gotten gains and slink off into the shadows in hopes he can avoid jail time.
Observation: ALL ‘Rat politicians are scum, but Lord knows we have more than our fair share of scummy politicians on our side of the aisle as well. Start with Romney, Ducey and Kemp and keep going…

Start at the top. If Mitch McConnell was a patriot none of this happens. He is only marginally better than Paul Ryan.
Mitch may be worse. Ryan did his dirty deed and got outta Dodge to move on to greener ($$$) pastures. He’s filthy, but at least we don’t have to listen to any more of his syrupy lies on the floor of the House. He does his dirty work completely behind closed doors now. Coward.
McConnell hangs on to his ML position for dear life. *That position would be EITHER Majority Leader or Minority Leader. It’s all the same to him. Who knew that awkward Mitch had such a deep need for validation? I’m guessing that this is, at least in part, the revenge of the nerd.
Nauseating to watch an adult in a trusted position, being led around by the belt of his childhood complexes, as he, without any discernible evidence of conscience, sells the Country out from underneath us.
This is a Republican Leader? The Party of Abe Lincoln? Over my dead body.
Mitch McConnell is not a man who would have been welcomed into the membership company of the Constitutional Convention.
Right on!
Hope Ryan’s retirement finances are tied to Fox news.
http://www.georgiabusiness.cn – this might explain what’s going on with Kemp and his camp.
Yup. Belt and Road Project
The Republican party needs to be on the ash heap of history along side the Whigs. I despise RINO scum.
Kemp seems to have a website set up to welcome Chinese business into Georgia. I have no doubt he’s looking for Chinese kickbacks. Trump may have regretted his endorsement of Kemp but would a Dimm be any better?
Stacy was the opposition. How did Georgia become so corrupt?
Joe Biden is a racist
Way beyond sad my friend. Frightening that we are equating the fbi to the stasis and the like
Are you serious? The FBI has proven themselves to be partisan hacks. Get your head out of the sand.
We, The People, can consider this is buried. This will be mention in the footnote somewhere after 2050. Sad, worse than third world country.
So much for THAT evidence.
That was my first thought. What happened to the Epstein rape island evidence, the Weiner laptop and also the trove of Weiner emails delivered to the police by his lawyer and later confiscated by the FBI, the 57 HAMMER hard drives, the Flynn 302, the Hillery emails from the State Department? The list goes on and on. Giving evidence against Democrats to the FBI is like throwing it into a black hole. We have perhaps the most corrupt state police in the world. There is talk of political murders, covering for politicians’ corruption, covering for vote manipulation, the RICO crimes go on and on. WHAT HAPPENED TO MY REPUBLIC?
It went banana.
No more Hunter laptop.
Evidence given to FBI gets sucked down into a black hole never to be seen again.
Obama corrupted every branch of government and all law enforcement agencies. Who can forget the ATF and Fast and Furious?
Obama will burn further down than even Hillary, in the circles of Hell for what all of the wretched harm he has done to America.
bastard… *spit*
Good one. Sad, but good.
That’s cutesy, Trumpmendous, but it isn’t funny.
What happened to the info from Epstein, Weiner’s laptop, Hunter Biden’s laptop, this raid, etc?
Simple answer – It was the FBI that conducted the raid! J Edgar Hoover was an expert in acquiring information in order to blackmail people he wanted to control. That is what he trained his agents to do! There is nothing new under the sun…
What if they are rogue agents, doing their job.
“Honey, Honey, why did you wake me up. I was having a wonderful dream!”
@dbobway: Don’t count on it. Undoubtedly these types of investigations would have to be given the green light from higher ups.
And that’s where the politics come into play.
Yes, you are dreaming.

What Sundance calls FUBAR, I call (for the last 11 years, in fact): Insane.
Take a strong look at all of the apparent normalcy on TV. And the covid19 hysteria, global warming hysteria, etc. etc. etc.. Both the “normalcy” and the hysteria, on all fronts, are in denial of reality.
They would have us go forward as a nation, all wallowing deludedly in utterly false crises and utterly false hates (of us, all 80+ million of us).
FUBAR is cute, FUBAR is normal (!) What we are being attacked with is neither cute nor normal: It is obscenely insane.
Somebody has to say it — continuously. You shuldn’t be surprised when it continues to be insane, counter to all good reason.
Excellent post.
Id say longer than 11 years. The clintoons had over 2000 FIB files, and nothing was ever done to punish that.
I agree. It reminds me of that Jim Carrey movie, “The Truman Show.”
Agree. Insane maybe. But we must acknowledge that millions of people have been programmed for decades by the media, academia, and the entertainment industry to accept their version of “normal.”
This “programming” remains the “norm” until a critical mass of those programmed people bother to explore the possibility of conflicting truth outside of the MSM..
Refer to the movie “The Matrix” for an illustration of this “reality” (where do you think the movie script writers got the idea…)

Kemp seems to have a website set up to welcome Chinese business into Georgia. I have no doubt he’s looking for Chinese kickbacks. Trump may have regretted his endorsement of Kemp but would a Dimm be any better?
Well, that evidence never existed.
Orwell would be proud.
“…this Arizona FBI effort was more intended to hide the reality of election vulnerabilities and intrusions, as opposed to investigating them.”
Why am I not surprised.
Must be hard to carry out raids while on your knees.
Harris ran for Public Office on hers.
YEP!!!!! AND No end in sight, I am afraid…these turkeys need to be let out and be gone with them!!! If your going to KNEEL for a rat pack of idiots to prove a point…the FBI just lost any integrity it might have had…
“How sad is it that we carry such unfortunate perspectives in our mind?”
The unfortunate consequence of President Trump’s decision to keep Director Wray in the job.
At least Wray hasn’t indicted Trump or a member of his family, yet.
OhMy ….it’s the unfortunate consequence of the treasonous actions of the FBI in the first place.
Darn right.
This statement is so true. Trump acquiesced to every demand of the intelligence community with the hopes of avoiding impeachment. He should have taken control of the doj unapologetically cleaned house every chance he got. He was never going to avoid impeachment.
Indeed. How sad. Thank you, James Comey, Chris Wray, Jeff Sessions, Bill Barr , etc. etc
Testing…
Hope springs eternal. A single honest FBI agent could make a name for themselves right about now.
Wouldnt that be lovely 😉
That would require courage. Possibly your career or your life.
“require courage” …. and integrity, another one of the virtues missing from today’s FBI.
Do you really believe an FBI agent would come forward? not if he has a family. Just look at the many ways & means of harassment by the Deep State ready to ponce on a defector.
Look what the FBI and DOJ did to General Flynn and his family for 4 long years.
Six ways to Sunday…
Iconoclast,
Your statement assumes there exists a single honest FBI agent.
PENALTY/RED FLAG: Assumes facts not in evidence.
At this point I think it is safe to assume that, even if there is an honest FBI agent somewhere, they are too cowardly to come forward and speak out against the corruption they have seen in the Bureau. I am sure that this theoretical honest FBI agent would be afraid of the consequences of speaking out, and I do not doubt he would have legitimate reason to be. That said, if no one has come forward by now, after four years of FBI persecution of President Trump and Gen. Flynn, no one is going to do so.
Indeed!
They wouldn’t last five minutes before they were suspended, and charged with soliciting sex with a minor. .
But 99% are good guys and blah blah blah. It’s only the top that is corrupt, blah blah blah. They’re all corrupt, every single one. The rank and file are worthless. How does someone take an oath to defend the Constitution and just look the other way when they see criminal activity going on? How do you look your kids in the eye? They should be ashamed, but I bet they aren’t.
This is when I stopped watching Hannity….what a stupid suck idiot.
Yeah in the obituaries
I can’t believe this, it seems we are the most corrupt country in the world
Well the raid was a month ago, so common sense would suggest that if the FIB were there to help uncover election fraud (rather than cover it up) we’d have heard something by now. A month is plenty of time for forensics on these electronics.
PJ- agree absolutely. In fact, every time I hear that the FIB is going to “investigate” anything that might have a bearing on actual corruption, my heart sinks because I know that will be the end of it.
Today Maria was pressing DNI John Ratcliffe about this very subject and I wasn’t thrilled with his answer which was to more or less pass the buck.
The only one who is not afraid of the FBI is our President Trump.
I somehow think that everything the left is trying to do to desperately do to cover up the fraud is too little and too late.
Even though this raid was weeks ago I do believe it was too late to cover up or steal away the proof of what they are trying to hide.
I have always thought that Pres Trump knew exactly what they were going to do and let them do it.
He had things in place to capture the evidence he needs to prove the fraud long ago and their feeble attempts to go back and “cover their tracks” is pitiful and useless now.
PT set a trap, they fell into it and now he will wait and slowly and methodically set out the evidence for the whole world to see.
When it appears that there is nothing that our side can do it will slowly slowly start to become rock solid that there is nothing that the thieves can do to stop the uncovering of their nasty illegal actions.
So you are saying ‘it is always the darkest just before the dawn’
Let’s hope so. More importantly, let’s pray that’s the case.
Hahahahaha, the FBI did this in order form them to be able to say that, although illegal, the actions of this disgruntled man had no impact on the election results.
And that it wasn’t widespread.
Because they had no “cause” to investigate any other counties in any other states.
Delay & Stall until Trump gone then go after/leverage the Democrat.
Sunlight needed. With the slap on the wrist for Wolfe & Clinesmith and non-prosecution of Clinton, Clapper, Lerner, and on and on. The jeopardizing an ongoing investigation excuse is a lame joke. The Democrat crime gang Special Counsel as well as the Comey/Mueller/McCabe crime gang leaked at will.
You can only build a House of Cards so tall before it collapses under its own weight, and the inability to maintain balance. There is a breaking point.

this is what i got from that. Globalist. Rogue CIA.. and others wanted an outcome for America. but,
The President is about to treat this like an Attack on America and show the Globe why America is a Super Power.
Why do i say that? – because of the timing of the videos that show’d up yesterday or the day before (strategically placed after the CRYS of NO WIDESPREAD FRAUD in the media, DOJ, etc) the hearing in GA. It had the confident dem state legis lady literally panicing.
1) you can rely on the media and DOJ to say NO EVIDENCE, when the FBI can collect the evidence and the media and control the narrative
2) you cannot hide fraud if the evidence is in the hands of Rudy and he is presenting directly to the People first line of government (state legislature)
Speaking of that panicked GA Senator, watch her separating mail in ballots in a PA counting center … of all the places. I wonder if she’s processing those pallets full of ballots lost in Harrisburg?

This is why people get away with fraud, because they are not held accountable. Repeat offender (WI). Raided a month ago. Don’t even know how to respond to wrongdoing anymore.
Yes, interesting. From the article:
“Who is Elliot Kerwin?
Attempts to contact Kerwin, the Phoenix resident, over mobile, his Signal encrypted messenger account and his Gmail were unsuccessful.
It’s not the first time Kerwin has been investigated by police. According to a police report obtained by Forbes, on April 1, 2011, when he was the IT administrator for the City of Ashland, Wisconsin, he was questioned by police regarding spoof emails, sent out just ahead of a local election.
Initially, Kerwin denied any knowledge of who sent the emails, assisting police in looking through local government servers to determine the author of the emails. He eventually admitted to sending emails from the City of Ashland’s own IT systems, posing as former councilor James Melin and city resident Zygmund Jablonski Jr…”
It gets weirder from there.
Sadly, it appears to have been a CYA mission rather than the DOJ looking for evidence of vote fraud. If they had found anything on November 5th that might expose the truth of what happened in Arizona, we would have heard about it by now, right?
Maybe FOX News told contacts in the FBI exactly where to go to get rid of the evidence?
I do not know the quality of the news from general dispatch a whatfinger sub but they are reporting a dominion machine seizure and test where they ran an equal number of Trump and Biden votes through the seized machine. Biden won this test by 26 percent indicating an illegal algorithm which was counting Trump votes fractionally. This is how fraud was done nation wide if true.
I agree.

I had my hopes up for a millisecond then realized it was the FBI. What evidence nothing to see here move along.
New web site yippee!
Sundance will not be kept down by the tyrants!
And into the government warehouse it all goes, numbered, catalogued, and shelved, sitting between the Weiner laptop and the files on the Las Vegas and San Bernardino shootings, never to see the light of day again.
This sort of evidence is destroyed immediately. No trace will ever be found, just like the IRS servers. Not even a smidgen of corruption will surace because all evidence is immediately destroyed.
I thought that the “Top Men” put those crates right next to the Ark of the Covenant? Same warehouse Indy got spoofed with.
Same aisle.

And the Ark of the Covenant!
They’ll let us know what’s going on right after they explain the Las Vegas mass-shooting.
And the death of Phillip Haney.

Yes I was thinking too as I read the post that the FBI was not a righteous savior but an impediment to truth and justice. Just an inkling but probably true. Disturbing.

Complete betrayal of the American people comes to mind.
The Ministry of Truth (formerly known as The Mainstream Media) would hide this information even if the FBI tried to make it public.
Hmmm maybe why Biden came out and said he would keep Wray….
another chance for those 99% good guys to show up…
For a broken ankle, Biden sure gets around rather nicely! Strange how those Lefty Libturds (Hildabeast, McStain, now sleepy Joe) keep wearin’ those boots! Makes one wonder what they’re hiding, no?
Bootgate : )
And why Barr told AP no evidence of voter fraud.
If the FIB was involved ………………… you know it was an attempt to cover-up the truth.
Zero confidence in the United States Just Us Department.
After the Epstein murder while in high security Federal solitary confinement, why should ANYONE have ANY confidence in the DOJ except to expect they are totally corrupt and permeated from top to bottom with criminals?
A federal LEO agency hides evidence.
Judges ignore massive evidence brought to their courts.
I would ask, “what’s next?” but there is no good answer to that question.
What’s next? Have at least the FBI/DOJ/CIA/CDC/FDA/NIH draw straws for their next assignments north of the Artic circle, center of the Serengeti, wherever piranha live, Ayers Rock… help me out here.
Somalia. They can replace our troops PT is bringing back home.
If i vas Putin i send 2 Sibeeria LOL
Martial Law is next.
Ratcliffe must take steps that enough people outside of the FBI are permitted to see the raw evidence. Devin Nunes comes to mind.
All the alphabet agencies need torn down and rebuilt! Corruption in the FBI goes back to the Hoover days!
Could the Ugly get any Bigger? Hmmmm
“The FBI now more closely resembles the Soviet era Police State,..”
Paraphrasing.
Actually, I don’t think the Soviet Secret Police NEEDED to conduct raids, in order to vaccuum up hide and destroy evidence, cause you know, hide from WHOM?
DOES this indicate that we are NOT actually “there yet”? That the collectivist enemy KNOW that they do not yet have total control, and even that their victory is somewhat in doubt?
That they actually have fairly small #’s, but by occupying key, high ranking positions have outsized power, which they leverage to make them SEEM more powerful than they really ARE?
After all,…they CONTROL the DOJ, with Barr sitting blocking the way to prosecutions, like a Sumo wrestler hired to be a hockey goalie, so WHY bother with this raid, or the reported (disinfo psyops?) raid in Germany, IF they are confident their can be no prosecutions?
They certainly can’t sieze, or destroy the mountain of evidence the Trump legal team and others have accumulated, or intimidate ALL the witnesses…..what was SPECIAL about THIS info?
I think you might be on to something Dutchman.
They might also be trying to upset us.
By mounting a FBI “raid” and then giving out the idea that none of the evidence take is “going anywhere” perhaps we will become more discouraged and depressed by the idea that yet again one of our federal agencies has let us down.
I do not think that Pres Trump is depending on any of these federal agencies to help him out one little bit.
He knows even better than we do how undependable and even how hostile they are to him.
He will never trust them to support his election fraud case, ever.
Any important evidence PT needs he will have locked up tight and far far away from the DC swamp.
Our best hope to avoid all out CW2 is if PDJT inaugurated and he immediately declares martial law and sends DC packing, then announces new election, paper ballot only. Don’t know how he gets a believable justice system going again.
Dutch, I like the way you think, hope that you are right.

Jean04,
Not an admin, however I know the answer.

Note you will be in moderation for the first time you changed your name.
Well,
We know for sure that many years ago, Cindy Hensley McCain, the beer dynasty heiress and wife of you-know-who, got accidentally caught in a DEA sting operation.
Hooked on pain killers.
Swept under the rug.
After that little debacle, never heard much about pro-active work on the part of the local DEA field office.
You are correct. I know about this. She was caught and indicted on federal charges for stealing drugs from Doctors Without Borders overseas. After she had appeared and been arraigned in federal district court, the entire case vanished. Disappeared in thin air. Poof! People had been leaving their law offices and going over to the courthouse to see her in court.
Well it seems we have much bigger problems than we suspected. The FBI and DOJ are actually working against us and justice. That means we have to circumvent their efforts at the same time as the efforts of the left and the media. No wonder they are so smug. The Deep State may have this all wrapped up and they are just letting us twist in the wind because that takes less effort than getting in our face.
We have to get serious. No direct reformation of the federal bureaucracy will succeed. They (FBI, CIA, DOJ etc.) are now a directed, purposeful muscular arm of the Democrat Party. Don’t be a Tick Tock Hannity smoke-blower.
The offices of the federal bureaucracy must be disseminated around the country, as soon as possible. Senators Hawley and Blackburn have called for this. Mueller required FBI agents to serve some time in the D.C. headquarters. He knew how to get minds right.
Send them to poor areas of the country: therefore, many will be Democrat-voting. Much harder for the Democrats to oppose that, eh? And many bureaucrats will quit rather than relocate. So much the better.
A cure? Of course not: a palliative.
I whole-heartedly agree! Split everything between whoever can be trusted in the US Marshalls’ office and give the rest to the Special Ops under Whitaker.
If both the FBI and DOJ agencies could be shuttered tomorrow, I would be all for it.

I hate ambiguity… if you’ve got something to say spit it out.
Ya gotta love Forbes’ sense of urgency by the author’s own writing.
“On the morning of November 5, as the 2020 election hung in the balance, Arizona federal agents raided a two-story house in Fountain Hills, Maricopa County, a county that had become a key battleground in the presidential race. The agents were looking for evidence of a cyberattack on an unnamed organization and stolen voter data. They left with eight hard drives, three computers and a bag of USB sticks. The resident of the property, a 56-year-old IT expert named Elliot Kerwin, was served the warrant. He is not yet facing charges and was unreachable for comment at the time of publication. There is no indication that anything other than voters’ information, which can be acquired for a few hundred dollars in Arizona counties, was taken from the affected office.”
Really???? Oh…only voters’ information was taken. And because it seems readily available EVERYWHERE in Arizona, there is nothing to see here.
Move along.
25% of this Reuters report is then changing their “Biden is the President-elect” incantations…
But Hannity kept telling us the rank-and-file were good people!
The FBI will do the right thing, and prosecute the perps to the nth degree.
Hah, thats even too much sarcasm for me.
Ohh don’t be so hard on them. Whats a few botched investigations and cover ups when the country is on the line.
Should have included murders
In order to obtain a court order from a federal judge to seize and then onduct a forensic examination of the election computers the FBI needed sn overwhelming amount of evidence of election fraud which would almost 100% require an insider coming forward with substantial evidence of election fraud. Remember, this operation by the FBI was examined under a microscope by AG Barr and his top aides before they blessed the search warrant. The FBI absolutely cannot do this by themselves!
Without being able to read the affidavit used to secure the warrant, it is impossible to know what crime (if any), other than theft, was stated to develop the probable cause.
I would love to read that affidavit but I’m sure it is sealed, as is common practice.
