Meet the 'Cabal'-Hating 'Special Government Employee' Involved in the Fulton County FBI Raid

This guy is at the General Jack D. Ripper stage of drinking "only distilled water or rainwater, and only pure grain alcohol".

Evans’ affidavit was unsealed by a federal judge on Tuesday as Fulton County officials push for the return of the materials seized in the raid. The officials have argued the investigation could undermine confidence in the results of Georgia’s 2020 presidential vote. Trump’s loss in that race has been a persistent fixation for many of his allies despite the fact it has been affirmed in multiple recounts, audits, and court cases. The affidavit revealed that the raid stemmed from a “referral” made by another special government employee, Kurt Olsen, an attorney and prominent election denier who was involved in Trump’s “Stop The Steal” push to overturn the 2020 election.

According to Evans, Parikh was one of several people who spoke to investigators and aired concerns that prompted the raid. Specifically, the affidavit said Parikh analyzed “tabulator tape images and related documents” and concluded data from the devices was “manipulated.” While various investigations have identified some issues with the 2020 election in Fulton County, experts and officials have repeatedly concluded they did not affect the overall outcome. Along with citing concerns about alleged issues with the vote count from some witnesses, the affidavit includes multiple other unnamed witnesses who offer innocuous explanations for these things — including Parikh’s concerns about the tabulators — and note how they did not affect the result.
...
“You’re pushing the narrative and you’re about to make me say, whatever your freaking media is, then I’m gonna lump you like I do Fox, and CNN, and NBC, and CBS, and ABC, and the rest of them. Right? And MSNBC,” Parikh said, adding, “All those different letters, I just say ‘CIA.’”
...
Parikh also said he was concerned they are no longer selling “real chicken” at Cracker Barrel, a restaurant that has become a fixation for conservatives following a recent rebrand.
...
Along with food, Parikh said he is concerned about soda and claimed he always mixes it with alcohol “to sanitize it.”

Reminds me of my granny (may she RIP), who was a Methodist teetotaller, but kept a bottle of brandy in the cupboard "for medicinal purposes".

You weren't kidding about the Gen. Ripper parallels. I wonder if the Coca-Cola company is considering a defamation lawsuit?

Assuming he wasn't just yanking TPM's chain, there's a massive pile of cheese somewhere that slid off this guy's cracker. He definitely has a Purity of Essence problem with his Precious Bodily Fluids.
