One of Donald Trump’s attorneys behind the attempt to subvert the 2020 presidential election initiated the investigation that led to the seizure of ballot boxes in Georgia, an unsealed affidavit justifying the search revealed.

“The FBI criminal investigation originated from a referral sent by Kurt Olsen, presidentially appointed Director of Election Security and Integrity,” the affidavit states.

Olsen helped draft the complaint to the Supreme Court in Texas v. Pennsylvania, which unsuccessfully sought to invalidate Trump’s defeat in four states Joe Biden won.

In an affidavit, FBI agent Hugh Raymond Evans claimed that “unknown persons” may have violated two election-related laws: 52 U.S.C. 20701 and 52 U.S.C. 20511, which both have a five-year statute of limitations. The agent offered no theory about who those people may be or what they may have done.

In a Substack Live conversation, former federal prosecutor Harry Litman and I puzzled over how the probe that Olsen brought passed a federal magistrate’s inspection.

1. It's past It's statue of limitations

So I can't see what they think they are going to prove.

2. so wondering how a judge approved it

...knowing that.

3. Yeah

[no_hypocrisy]

5. My guess is that the DOJ changed the year of the situation and

made it within five years, the time for Statute of Limitations.

And further, the Judge's law clerk didn't confirm the year.

Manipulation and errors is how we got here.

4. It's all about the size of his penis

Or maybe it's a distraction from the million plus mentions of his name in the Epstein Files. Or a distraction from Poland and their investigation into who is Putin's bitch.
