“Fulton County Update” by Joyce Vance
“Judge J.P. Boulee, the federal judge in the Northern District of Georgia who is hearing the Fulton County voting records case, issued an order this morning. It reads: ‘The Court understands that mediation has been unsuccessful. Consequently, the Court is now taking the Motion to Vacate Hearing and to Quash Subpoena under advisement’….The government responded by filing a motion to prevent the hearing from taking place, and especially, to quash the subpoena that requires the FBI Agent, whose under oath affidavit provided the rationale for the search warrant, to testify at the hearing.”
