In reply to the discussion: FBI SEIZES the phone of Rep. Scott Perry (R) Pa. [View all]BumRushDaShow
(170,322 posts)67. LOL
Now that other sources are reporting, I saw a NBC News one that mentioned that Perry's issue may be associated with DOJ's OIG investigation where an attempt was made to make a DOJ environmental Asst. AG Jeff Clark (who had no criminal prosecutioni experience), the Acting AG in order to bolster the case of a fraudulent election (since obviously Barr wasn't going to do it and Barr left).
Rep. Scott Perry, a top Trump ally, says FBI agents seized his cellphone
Perry, a Pennsylvania lawmaker who's chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, was subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 committee earlier this year.

Perry is not the only Trump ally to have his phone seized by federal agents. Lawyer John Eastman had his phone seized in June on the same day authorities executed a search warrant at Clark's Virginia home.
Both of those warrants appeared to stem from an investigation DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz announced in January 2021, three days after The New York Times first reported the extent to which Clark sought to help Trump use the Justice Department to push his bogus claims of election fraud. The inspector generals website says the office is examining the role and activity of DOJ and its components in preparing for and responding to the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Yep, it's the kind of media delay we'll have to get used to as the FBI makes its moves.
