Badlands Daily: 5/6/26 - Fulton County Subpoenas, NIH Smuggler Caught, Iran Deal Closes
from Badlands Media · host Badlands Media
CannCon and Ashe in America bring another Ash Wednesday packed with election integrity, COVID accountability, and geopolitics. The DOJ serves grand jury subpoenas for every 2020 Fulton County election worker, seeking names, addresses, and phone numbers for everyone from mail-in ballot reviewers to risk-limiting audit volunteers. Ash makes the case this is the first formal investigation into what actually happened in Georgia. In Indiana, Trump's primary revenge tour goes five for six as long-serving incumbents who blocked redistricting get sent home. Ash drops a story about Colorado GOP governor candidate Victor Marx raising $1.6 million through WinRed with zero grassroots energy, flagging it as a potential smurfing operation on the Republican side, and calls on electionwatch.info as the tool to check. NIH virologist Vincent Munster was caught at the airport smuggling undeclared pathogen samples from the DRC, the FBI is investigating, and his connection to the DEFUSE blueprint for COVID and Ralph Baric's concurrent removal from NIH grants sends the COVID accountability thread into overdrive. Rand Paul's Fauci criminal referral deadline is one week out. Plus, DC police leadership faces termination for manipulating crime data, Trump doubles the ballroom, and the Iran nuclear deal is one page away from being signed.
