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.

The raid could be part of a con game. trump is a con man from way back. After losing the election he needs an ace in the hole. The rumor gets started that he took papers that he shouldn't have. That gives his enemies a bone to chew on. Time passes and the hook is set by having one of his kids flip on him with the details of where the stuff is. The FBI takes the bait and raids but all of the evidence is fake. trump the gets to play the victim to the hilt, gets tons of money from his ass-kissers, and gets off to a roaring start on the next election. The Dems get thoroughly discredited.

Now, if trump was a legitimate crook why would he have kept boxes of real evidence in his house all of this time? An idiot would have taken steps to give it to his buddies, the Russians and Israelis.

If the FBI comes up shortdid they get played or were they in on the scam? Either way, they would come out looking like the big losers which could also be one of the aims of the con.

Dress-wearing Hoover would have handled it in his usual way.

Because he really is that stupid.

Anything is possible. The easiest way to con someone is to use his primary tendencies against him. It is a very common tactic that manipulators use everyday against unsuspecting people.

We shall soon see what the evidence is.

It would be great if he really is that stupid but it could all be a clever con game. Maybe we will know for sure in a few days.

@swirlie "The “smartest man” Joe Biden knows, his son, the crack addict-turned-blowpipe artist Hunter Biden.

Friends of Hunter say he discusses the finer points of Ukraine policy and other matters of state around the dinner table with his father on his regular weekend visits home to Delaware or Camp David.

One former friend describes him as his father’s “closest adviser.”

Hunter also boasted to his former business partner, Tony Bobulinski, by the pool of the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood in May 2017, that he had his father’s ear and got him to do what he wanted by bypassing his gatekeepers and speaking to him directly.

@swirlie The beauty of such a con is that it only takes a handful of dedicated people to pull it off. It works best if you can get a reputable person to do the investigation against you. That way when he comes up empty you get to wear the victim crown to the throne.

It's unclear if such a thing is happening now but it could easily be the case.

We'll see what sticks. Of course, if the orange turd actually had a house full of evidence it just shows that he is one of the top two dummies in America in 2022. There's a thousand way split for the #2 spot.
