FBI Launches Probe Into Decade Of Dem-Led Election Antics

The FBI reportedly neither investigated the tip nor preserved the material, instead recalling it and ordering its destruction. However, with the five-year statute of limitations on that allegation set to expire weeks after the evidence emerged in August 2020, any criminal referral faces an extremely narrow window for action, the outlet reported.

Patel’s FBI has launched a broad “grand conspiracy” investigation designed to circumvent looming statutes of limitations by treating separate incidents as part of a continuous scheme or racketeering enterprise. This approach would give a special prosecutor the opportunity to link recent alleged offenses with older ones under a single conspiracy theory.

The probe also paves the way to convene a grand jury in a jurisdiction outside Washington, D.C.—where jury pools have historically been reluctant to convict those who targeted Trump. D.C. has never backed a Republican presidential candidate: the only GOP nominee to ever clear 20% of the vote there was Richard Nixon in 1972 (with 21.56%), and in the most recent election, 92.1% of ballots opposed Trump.
