What about FBI agents? Patel testified today before the Senate and had this to say when questioned by Sen. Welch of Vermont:
“I thought you weren’t going to be sending people to the polls,” Mr. Welch said.
“When did you hear that? Just another lie,” Mr. Patel declared, raising his voice.
Mr. Welch revisited the issue. “So you are sending F.B.I. agents to the polls?”
“We have election crisis coordinators manned at all 56 field offices,” Mr. Patel replied, appearing to refer to what are known as election crime coordinators. “Election integrity is of paramount importance. This F.B.I. will not shy away from that effort.”
