The FBI on Friday began reaching out to donors of Dan J. Sullivan asking about potential deception, as federal authorities ramped up their investigation over the U.S. Senate candidate in Alaska who shares a name with the Republican incumbent.

An Anchorage-based FBI agent visited a boat dealership in Petersburg, a small fishing community accessible only by air or water where the candidate lives. The agent left a business card for Charles Flint, who told The Associated Press he has known Dan J. Sullivan for years as a respected teacher and musician.

The FBI visit came after federal officials confirmed the existence of a criminal probe over the candidate. The U.S. Department of Justice also pushed Friday for a court order to isolate certain Alaska ballots to investigate potential voter confusion.

    When Dems take the House (and hopefully the Senate), they should investigate the election interference that the Trump administration is doing on these midterms

      Yep. Trump will pardon everyone. But it needs to be well documented and brought up to every candidate running for the Epstein party.

          Technically, they can’t. Effectively, who knows? That’s why we need to hold their feet to the fire. They’re going to try again regardless. We can’t have them all just saying it’s all water under the bridge again and forgetting to do anything. prosecute every last one of those fuckers to with in inch of their life and an inch of beyond the law.
