| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, Tim Miller from the Bullwark here with my buddy, Andrew Agger, author of our Morning Shots newsletter. |
| 0:04.4 | You can get that at the Bullwark.com. Go sign up for it. |
| 0:07.5 | I want to talk to Andrew about his newsletter this morning about the news yesterday out of Atlanta, out of Fulton County, where the FBI raided an elections office, I guess, in order to find ballots from the year 2020. |
| 0:25.8 | I know time kind of flies, but that was six years ago now. |
| 0:28.5 | So in the year 2020, they're looking for ballots to, I guess, try to further provide evidence |
| 0:34.6 | for the fantasy that Donald Trump constructed in his head that he actually won Georgia when he lost. |
| 0:39.8 | A lot of elements to this, it's as usual with Trump, it's kind of a combo story of like menacing and clownish all at once. |
| 0:48.7 | Andrew, what was your, or your big takeaways? |

| 1:27.8 | materials from these previous elections, including the 2020 election. The FBI went in yesterday. |
| 1:33.6 | Very openly, they were open about the fact that they were there to, to collect 2020 election |
| 1:38.6 | materials. They ended up, it's been reported, taking about 700 boxes of ballots. And again, this is, you know, Donald Trump |
| 1:46.4 | has not been playing this very close to the chest either. He was up all night on truth social, |
| 1:51.3 | basically posting about it, posting about how this was, you know, part of the, you know, |
| 1:55.4 | the vengeance campaign that we're finally going to get to the bottom of all of the election stealing |
