Senate Democrats want to know why the FBI is requiring hundreds of intelligence analysts to perform records checks related to the investigation in the 2020 election in Georgia, according to a letter obtained exclusively by MS NOW. 
Sen. 
Mark Warner, the ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, wrote to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel about reporting by MS NOW, confirmed by the New York Times, that Patel is ordering 260 FBI analysts to work on what FBI documents called a “priority investigation” in Georgia that officials say is related to the 2020 election. 
“This misuse of taxpayer dollars … is negligence and abuse of power of the highest order,” Warner wrote. 
The FBI has declined to comment on the matter. 
“Dedicated FBI special agents and intelligence analysts work tirelessly to identify legitimate threats and conduct investigations into complex issues involving terrorism, counterintelligence and espionage, cyberattacks, and violent crime,” Warner wrote. 
“Their work is crucial to safeguarding Americans from harm, crime, corruption, and terrorism. 
Unlike those serious threats to the country, this fool’s errand of an ‘investigation’ will serve to erode trust in the FBI, the DOJ, and America’s elections.” 
He added, “It is alarming that you have chosen to divert these crucial national security resources and personnel to an investigation driven by the personal, political interests of the President.” 
Warner’s letter requests a staff briefing and answers to a series of questions, including about the scope, nature, and purpose of the FBI’s investigation and whether and why the FBI believes a criminal offense has been committed. 
“As the nation’s principal law enforcement and domestic intelligence agency, the FBI should direct its resources towards investigations that protect public safety and address urgent threats – not partisan political wild goose chases,” the letter says. 
“This diversion of significant FBI resources towards a political investigation threatens the purpose of its mission and endangers Americans. 
We strongly urge the Department and Bureau to reconsider this decision and put the FBI back to work preventing and investigating real crimes.”
