Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump and former chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, disclosed Tuesday that FBI agents stopped him on family vacation and seized his cell phone just one day after the bureau raided the former president's home and offices in Florida.
Perry told Just the News three agents approached him with a search warrant while he was traveling with family Tuesday morning and asked for the phone.
"They seized my phone, imaged it and returned it to me," Perry said in an interview.
The congressman said he was shocked the bureau simply did not ask his lawyer to retrieve any evidence they wanted from him.
"They could have simply asked my attorney," he said. "They didn't need to stop me when I was traveling with family."
Sources familiar with the episode told Just the News the warrant is part of a broader investigation into efforts in Pennsylvania to contest the November 2020 election results or consider alternate electors that could be offered at the Capitol on Jan. 6. They declined to be more specific.
That’s not how Police States work.
Intimidation. Plain ‘n simple as that. The stuff tin pot dictatorships are made of.
What did it say? What are they looking for? Just "stuff"?
I believe that’s called a ‘supremacy mount’ Mr. Perry. Guess the old stand by “Do you know who I am?” was ineffective.

WTF did he just turn it over??? FIGHT THE TYRANNY!
LOL he even said he would have given the FBI the phone if they just asked him for it! We have real fighters on our team!
So attempting, by legal means, to overturn a election by attempting to prove the election result was fraudulent is now a crime.
How very Stalinesque.

George Orwell warned us. We did not listen.
Sure, Mr Epps.
So they were following him too? Or else how did they know where he was or did they have some kind of phone warrant.
Even wonder why there is no enforcement of actual crimes in this country. Because this three letter agency for six years has been into nothing but chasing fantasy crap at best or conducting an attack on any attempt to change the deep state culture in our republic. I guess we only now have democratically elected representatives when the agree with what the deep state intends.
Probably because he did not want to be arrested on family vacation in from of his wife and kids.
This all has sure changed the way I would view FBI evidence as a jury member. They have zero credibility. The involvement of the FBI should be grounds for dismissal. It needs to be dissolved.

Because he rather live on his knees than die standing.
Wow that makes zero sense. Care to point out where I’m encouraging people to do something?. I’m saying it’s foolish to assume that if resistance happens, that it must be the fbi behind it all. You all assume that none of what’s going on merits resistance.
The correct answer would have been “No, call my attorney. Now get the F out of my way.”
If the guy is still carrying around the same phone today that he was using in January 2021, then I’d be shocked if it has anything other than dull, ordinary things on it.
