AI-generated from the sourced claims — verify against the documents.

  • The FBI agent stated he was preparing to close the investigation into GBI Strategies but believed the fraudulent voter-registration applications warranted a full field investigation, not just a limited scope PIN.

  • The agent cited the manual 'Federal Prosecution of Election Offenses' (December 2017) to argue that submitting fictitious names and false information (52 U.S.C. § 10307(c)) and bounty-hunting/per-registration payment (pages 24–43) constituted federal election fraud.

  • The agent questioned why a full investigation was not approved before closing, even though canvassers submitted fraudulent applications regardless of per-registration payment.
