FBI seizes Nevada GOP chairman’s phone as part of fake elector probe

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — FBI agents served a search warrant Wednesday on Nevada’s top GOP official, sources told KLAS.

Agents seized the cell phone of state Republican chairman Michael McDonald reportedly as part of an investigation into an alleged fake elector scheme initiated at the end of the 2020 presidential election.

In December 2020, KLAS reported that the Nevada Republican Party’s six electors signed paperwork signaling their support for former President Donald Trump in a symbolic ceremony devoid of any legal merit, which was held in Carson City and coincided with the official state-sanctioned tally on Dec. 14, 2020.

A second search warrant was issued for state party secretary James DeGraffenreid, who also signed the document, but FBI agents could not locate him Wednesday, sources told KLAS.

President Joe Biden won the presidential race in Nevada by more than 2%. He received the state’s six electoral votes in the official state ceremony, overseen by Republican Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske.

Agreed. The fbi is doing exactly what the stasi did in East Germany.

The election wasn’t stolen is what a fool believes. We really need to be taking it to the streets in real protest.

Just wait until the red flag newly passed
bill kicks in. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
Law enforcement banging on your door at
4:00 am will become commonplace.
Those who own a gun will no longer sleep
in the nude, as the FBI are going to
force you to stand out in the street
and parade you in front of your neighbors.
Casting suspicion on your criminal history.

Any chance at red flags laws was just made moot by the recent Supreme Court decision.

If the FBI and DOJ were interested, it would be nice to see the phone records and phone records from the 5-6 major locations that decided to stop counting votes in the middle of the night during the election.

Re: # 7

I could not believe my own ears when Clark said that last night. This is why our side keeps losing, a “polite” refusal to call things as they are.

A NATION-wide effort at Trump suppression these past couple of days. This one, Joe Clark and others. Note the focus on SEIZING ‘electronic devices’ and hauling them off. In today’s world, how is this not a civil forfeiture and denial of basic civil rights?

Are these returned intact and if so when? If there is a seizure order, who authorized it and from what court (if any?). So very similar to that Wisconsin debacle several years back with a ‘D’onkey Party DA and judge going after Gov. Scott Walker supporters for their (1st Amendment protected) speech.

I BLAME the GOP Senators and House members at the federal and state level for these stasi raids. If this happened to a rat, they would collectively throw the biggest and loudest non-stop screeching hissy fits. What do the GOP elected officials do? They curl up in a fetal position and suck their thumbs, staying quiet as church mice. And that’s why these raids keep happening, there is virtually NO PUSH BACK!

"FBI seizes Nevada GOP chairman’s phone as part of fake elector probe the tyranny that occurs when one gives democrats the reins of power over public office."

Fixed for accuracy.

They are when they're against the Party Of Tolerance.

> "So now symbolic protests are illegal?"

That's my question.

My guess is:

The crime syndicate is flipping the story onto Trump. This is AL Capone nationwide on steroids using the Marxist Playbook to put down any and all counter-revolutionaries.
