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.

If they will blatantly falsify search warrants against a Presidential candidate and now possibly a former President, then a sitting member of Congress- what will they do to average citizens who support them? Where will the 80 billion just approved to double the amount of IRS agents be focused? They are obviously scared of 2022 midterms and the 2024 general.

@Carla Unless one is a demonocrat, you forgot to add.

"Biden could owe as much as $500K in back taxes, government report indicates"

@Carla I don’t cheat on my taxes. But as we’ve seen the Federal government can falsify anything. It may not stand up in a court for actual prosecution or even indictment, but they can sure make your life hell in the meantime.

Carla · 61-69, F

@JesseInTX yes. Because you are important enough to spend time and money on to persecute because, why?

JesseInTX · 51-55, M

@Carla you’re a damn fool. You know exactly what I mean but play the typical talking points.

@JesseInTX no, i reckon i dont know what you mean. You said "I don't cheat on my taxes. But as we've seen the federal government can falsify anything. It may not stand up in a court for actual prosecution or even indictment, but they can sure make your life hell in the meantime."
What do you mean other than you will somehow be a target for persecution from the federal government? And why are you worth the time, money and aggravation for said persecution?

JesseInTX · 51-55, M

@Carla every one of us who opposes you and your leftist agenda is a target. Why the hell would the administration and Congress think we need as many new IRS that could fill the stands at a major college football stadium? And that 80 billion doesn’t just fund their salaries, it funds the investigations. And it’s not like Biden doesn’t have experience with the IRS investigating political opponents. Again you’re a damn fool.
