One in all Many
Earlier this month, The Political Insider’s Rusty Weiss reported that as many as 40 subpoenas had gone out in relation to the investigation into the Jan. 6 riot on the Capitol.
Included within the subpoena sweep was former senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller. A number of others have had their cellphones seized, together with Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), whose telephone was taken by FBI brokers the day after the raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property. Additionally, in-house counsel Boris Epshteyn and former campaign strategist Mike Roman had telephones seized.
The timing of the FBI and DOJ exercise towards former Trump associates simply weeks away from the November midterm elections is particularly curious.
Trump responded to the seizure of Lindell’s telephone, saying on his Reality Social media website, “We are actually formally residing in a Weaponized Police State, Rigged Elections, and all. Our Nation is a laughing inventory all around the World.”
To this point it doesn’t seem that Lindell has been charged with any crimes.
This Mike Lindell story is nuts. It’s wonderful how in the event you’re a Republican recovering from a crack dependancy the FBI raids your home. However in the event you’re a Democrat with a crack dependancy they make your dad President.
