It’s not uncommon that people’s lives are on their phone instead of a laptop or desktop computer. Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and outspoken Trump supporter even runs his hearing aids through it. The FBI could have used physical force to remove the phone, it was right there. Cellphone seizures in legal cases is in a murky area of law. Recently though Trump supporters have been a target for harrassment.
Mike Lindell targeted
Federal agents seized his cellphone since he’s connected with a Colorado law clerk who has been charged with breaching voting system technology. FBI agents approached the CEO at a fast food restaurant drive through and presented him with a warrant for his phone.
He was questioned about the Dominion voting system, Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters and his connection to an Ohio educator named Doug Frank who also believes the election machines were manipulated. Lindell displayed a letter on his video podcast signed by a Colorado district attorney saying there was a criminal investigation of a possible felony.
The FBI is silent on Lindell
The only communication released was from FBI spokeswoman Vikki Migoya who spoke in an email. “Without commenting on this specific matter, I can confirm that the FBI was at that location executing a search warrant authorized by a federal judge.”
Peters is also under investigation for attempting to influence a public servant, criminal impersonation and official misconduct. Peters is a Republican that was elected in 2018 to oversee elections in Mesa County, Colorado.
Lindell and Peters
Both are avid supporters of President Trump. Peters has been onstage with him and agrees the 2020 election was stolen. Both Peters and Belinda Knisley, a deputy clerk who has already plead guilty, are charged in a “deceptive scheme which was designed to influence public servants, breach security protocols, exceed permissible access to voting equipment, and set in motion the eventual distribution of confidential information to unauthorized people.”
Confidential information posted on a conservative website became a security breach in Mesa County in 2021. Peters appeared onstage in August 2021 at an event Lindell put together and promised to provide proof the machines were manipulated. A copy of Mesa County’s voting system hard drive was posted online. The copy included the proprietary software used by Dominion.
