Trump ally Rep. Scott Perry says FBI seized his cellphone

One day after the raid on former President Donald Trump‘s home, the FBI has seized the cell phone of a Republican member of Congress.

Rep. Scott Perry, Pennsylvania Republican, said in a statement to Fox News that three FBI agents handed him a warrant and demanded his phone.

“This morning, while traveling with my family, 3 FBI agents visited me and seized my cell phone. They made no attempt to contact my lawyer, who would have made arrangements for them to have my phone if that was their wish. I’m outraged — though not surprised — that the FBI under the direction of Merrick Garland’s DOJ, would seize the phone of a sitting Member of Congress,” he said.

This is getting more dystopian by the minute

@AthrillatheHunt Why can't they just let Republicans commit their crimes in peace?!

AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

@BohemianBoo or just not even talk about it like hunters laptop right ? Lol
Our oligarchs SHOULD have immunity from this type of stuff .

@AthrillatheHunt Hunter Biden is a private citizen, not a powerful politician.
Besides, what crimes did he commit? Doing drugs and banging hookers? Who cares? That should be legal, anyway.

AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

@BohemianBoo shhhh don’t talk about it. He didn’t commit any crimes .
So why did we sanction Putins kids then ?

BohemianBoo · M

@AthrillatheHunt No, he did, but I don't care because he committed victimless crimes. The tons of crimes that Trump committed were actually really bad.

Putin's daughters were sanctioned because he uses them to hide his assets. It's not completely fair, but that's why it was done.

AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

@BohemianBoo and you don’t see a “hide assets” connection w the Hunter thing ?

BohemianBoo · M

@AthrillatheHunt No. If there was, we'd have some evidence of it by now.
Really, the reason Republicans are so obsessed with Hunter is because they have no real way to criticize Biden. Biden's done bad things, but they're all things that the Republicans want to do too. And while they do say he's a "Radical Leftist" it doesn't really work, because Biden is so moderate.

@BohemianBoo I consider him a moderate too . He’s walking a fine line within his party .

AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

@BohemianBoo it’s always sunny in Philly dude !

BohemianBoo · M

@AthrillatheHunt That's why calling him a radical Leftist isn't working. So instead, they just pretend Hunter Biden is some criminal mastermind selling secrets to, I don't know, Latvia?

AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

@BohemianBoo both sides call the other nonsensical words like Hitler fascist Marxist commie. It’s just what they do .

BohemianBoo · M

@AthrillatheHunt The difference is that the modern Republican party actually is fascist and most of the things that Trump is accused of, he's actually done.
I wish the Democrats really were Socialists, but that's sadly not true.

@BohemianBoo Yup, we have seen in the past two days the Republicans using nazi tactics on the opposition

AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

@BohemianBoo you’re starting to sound very partisan dude . But I understand the lesser of 2 evils way of thinking .

BohemianBoo · M

@AthrillatheHunt If I was partisan, I'd defend the Democrats no matter what. I'm a Socialist, I think both parties are bad for being capitalist. However, at least the Democrats believe in Democracy, whereas the Republicans are literal Fascists.
