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.

With a lawfully signed search warrant, the FBI doesn't need to "contact his lawyer", therefor giving him time to delete any evidence, that's why they had a search warrant. He's of course innocent until proven guilty but the FBI usually doesn't obtain search warrants without cause.

@spjennifer And the 4 FISA warrants were "legally obtained"? Since when have demonocrats followed the law?

@sunsporter1649 About as often as Repugs do, how many of his crooked cronies did tRump pardon?

@sunsporter1649 Indeed, Obama did grant a lot more clemency than tRump and most of those were for people convicted on petty drug charges that got long sentences. tRump pardoned mostly his crooked cronies and not for people who got 20 year sentences for possession of a joint...
