This is coming from Trump's first term's DHS chief of staff Miles Taylor.

Weeks ago, Trump sent members of the FBI to raid Fulton County of its 2020 ballots in an effort to prove that he actually won the election in Georgia over former president Joe Biden.

“People forget when they hear about this story that [Trump] was indicted on 13 felony counts in Fulton County for trying to meddle in that election.

Trump at it again, trying to meddle with Fulton County, surely it can't go wrong a second time, right?

...there is no federal rule protecting Trump from the consequences if a Georgia jury proclaims him guilty of an illegal search

Remember that state crimes cannot be pardoned.

They claimed it was [because of] foreign interference. They said it was regulatory irregularities in an affidavit. And then Trump said the truth in that interview a couple of weeks ago with NBC. He said, those agents are going to find out who really won in 2020. There it is. He gave up the plot,” said Taylor.

This could be the basis for a case of the federal government conducting an illegal search.

“It's like these people want to go to prison,”

Don't threaten me with a good time.

The same governor who refused to "find" votes in 2020.
