The FBI has reportedly fired two intelligence analysts after they refused to participate in the bureau’s investigation into Georgia’s 2020 presidential election.
According to multiple reports, the Atlanta-based analysts, a husband and wife, told colleagues they did not believe the investigation was justified and declined to work on the case.
They were reportedly escorted from the FBI office after refusing the assignment.
The FBI did not confirm the firings but defended its decision.
“The FBI will always investigate credible allegations of matters related to federal elections,” an FBI spokesperson said.
“Every employee at this FBI is to uphold our mission and adhere to our standards, any deviation will not be tolerated.”
Earlier this month, the FBI assigned 260 investigative analysts to assist with its ongoing investigation into the fraud that took place in Fulton County, Georgia, during the 2020 presidential election.
According to an internal FBI memorandum, the analysts were tasked with completing approximately 708 records checks by July 17th.
The memo describes the operation as a priority for FBI Director Kash Patel. The specific records under review have not been disclosed.
The internal memo stated that overtime, including weekends and holidays, had been authorized to complete the review.
Fulton County Commission Chairman Robb Pitts complained about the expanded review, calling it a “Hail Mary” and saying he had not been informed of the move.
Georgia’s RINO Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, claims that his teams “runs the most secure elections in the nation,” but said he would assist the investigation.
The expanded effort follows the FBI’s raid on a Fulton County election warehouse.
Back in January, federal agents seized more than 600 boxes of election materials, including original 2020 ballots, as part of a Justice Department investigation.
Last week an activist judge rejected the DOJ’s attempt to subpoena 2020 Fulton County election workers.
“Given the low need for the subpoenaed information and the highly burdensome nature of the disclosure of the same, the Subpoena is unreasonable and must be quashed,” U.S. District Judge William Ray wrote in his ruling.
No criminal charges have been filed and federal authorities have released few details about the scope of the investigation.
