Badlands Daily: 4/29/26 - Fauci Adviser Indicted, Comey Charged, Fulton County Ballot Bombshell

CannCon and Ashe in America bring Wednesday's Ash with a show full of enormous stories and even bigger principles. Holly Kessler of Georgia joins to expose a Fulton County Democrat primary ballot containing questions that directly defame Bridget Thorne and Republican board members, calling them "election conspiracy theorists" to seed narratives ahead of expected FBI indictments. The Virginia Supreme Court hears arguments on the redistricting referendum, and the Democrat counsel essentially admits the procedural rug pull on the record. The Louisiana v. Calais Supreme Court ruling strikes down racial gerrymandering 6-3, kneecapping the Mark Elias Voting Rights Act expansion strategy. James Comey is indicted over the 8647 seashells post, and Ash delivers an unsparing principled take: it is protected political speech, and cheering a weaponized DOJ because your side holds power is the same mistake the left made. David Morenz, a Fauci adviser, is indicted on five counts including COVID records destruction and a kickback scheme with EcoHealth's Peter Daszak involving $40 bottles of wine. The FBI and HSI raid 22-plus Minneapolis locations for COVID daycare fraud. Plus, the SPLC's longtime informant flips to become a DOJ witness and new Epstein Zoro Ranch victims come forward in New Mexico.
