The FBI hunted down Mike Lindell and seized his phone - Andrea Widburg

 

by Andrea Widburg

 [T]he (In)Justice Department is branching out by going after anyone who has challenged the November 2020 election results.

Mike Lindell went on a hunting trip with a friend.  While they were on the road, the FBI tracked Lindell, surrounded his car, and presented him with a warrant telling him he had to turn over his phone.  What's important is that this wasn't about January 6.  Instead, the DOJ and FBI went after Mike Lindell's phone in connection with Tina Peters, the Mesa County (Colorado) clerk and recorder who is being charged with security breaches relating to election equipment.

Lindell appeared on "Lindell TV," his streaming service, yesterday evening to announce what had happened.  He explained that he'd gotten up early to go with a friend on a hunting trip in Minnesota, where he lives.  On his return, when he and his friend were at a Hardees, they found their car surrounded by other cars — either criminals or the FBI, Lindell told his friend.  It was the FBI.

Eventually, the FBI produced a warrant telling Lindell to turn over his phone.  This was a blow to Lindell because, he says, it's his sole computer.  He uses it for everything from his business to controlling his hearing aids.  Because of the warrant, though, he had the Hobson's choice of relinquishing the phone or being arrested.

 


 

What we're seeing here is a major shift away from January 6.  To the extent that people did trespass and "parade" in the Capitol (although there's reason to believe that many were entrapped into entering the property), the DOJ and FBI had at least some colorable criminal cases.  That the DOJ didn't feel compelled to make the same cases against the BLM and Antifa activists who attacked federal property across America in 2020 was something we were all supposed to ignore.

Now, however, the (In)Justice Department is branching out by going after anyone who has challenged the November 2020 election results.  Again, we're supposed to forget the events subsequent to 2016's election.  Then, America saw four years of "The Resistance" and "He's not my president" and "Russia, Russia, Russia" and "The election outcome was fraudulent."  Just because it can't be played often enough, here are 12 minutes of Democrats (including Biden himself) denying election results:
