Congresswoman Nikema Williams wrote: “This is another dangerous diversion of resources from the FBI and Department of Justice’s true mission, which is to make sure the American people are safe. This diversion is also playing into the dangerous lie that President Trump won the 2020 Presidential election.” “This sweeping deployment of FBI agents and resources to Atlanta to investigate the 2020 election results is another troubling sign of a pattern in this administration to attempt to toss out, overturn, or cast doubt on election results that do not fit partisan narratives.” “This new redeployment of FBI field agents to Atlanta to investigate the 2020 Presidential  lection not only represents a massive waste of taxpayer dollars, but also represents a shift in focus in the work that the FBI normally does to make Americans safer.
