They will try to use the contents of that phone to leverage and influence the GOP in case they take over, it is protection.....insurance policy.

I’d ditch that phone and get a new one. No telling what they planted on it - child porn? tracking software? something to remotely activate the microphone? automatically forward emails and texts to a remote server?

if they want to spy on me, at least they’ll have to go to Google.

If he has a backbone, he will make it his mission in life to push through the disbanding of the FBI. It is now a disreputable political police enforcing legitimate political opposition.

Get to work man.

The FIB needs to be completely defunded, shut down, building razed, and the earth salted.

Period.

agree with him. I assume he supports President Trump.

Definitely a Trump supporter. He’s my congressman. He has been under investigation by the 1/6 commission for merely communicating with Trump regularly. He’s the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. He’s a retired US Army General of the non-woke variety. He regularly ranks #1 by the American Conservative Union.

Just as aside, I sent him an email the night of the FBI raid of Trump’s home. I called for the shuttering of the FBI. I have no idea if my email was on his phone or if the FBI could gain access to the email server from having his phone. That is completely chilling. It reinforces my wanting the FBI shuttered. Everyone working at the FBI are absolute scum and antithetical to freedom. Those so-called good agents have been complicit in their silence and inaction for decades. There is no reform that will restore my faith in the FBI. They lack all credibility. They cannot be believed. Hence, they must be shuttered and any legal and just function they serve needs to be moved to state and local law enforcement. No one at the FBI should ever be allowed to work in government ever again - at any level. This needs to be done to avoid a civil war. (Not that I am capable of fighting that, I am old and crippled.)

Kill it with a hammer like Hillary did, then give it a bleach bath.

Then hand carry it back to Chris F*ucking Wray.

Yea but the damage is done. They just accessed every crevice of this man’s digital life. They truly disgust me more than is conceivable.

I’ll toss my phone into traffic before submitting to these oath breakers.

I assume he has purchased another one by now and changed his telephone number. He would be foolish to do otherwise. He should also have it checked to see what was added or otherwise manipulated in his phone’s memory.

Seizing the phone serves three purposes:

1. Intimidation. The FBI is showing that members of Congress, correction; Republican members of Congress are not secure in their papers and possessions.
2. Allows planting of tracking software.
3. Allows the FBI to gather private intel from the enemy (ie. Republicans, specifically Trump supporting Republicans).

Okay....It appears that despite what the warrant says...if they find something that might apply to another case (let's say Jan 6th)...they can use it in that case.

I think that is what is going on.

In the end, probable cause is an escape phrase....

Thanks for the reply. I looks like Biden’s FBI has the same outlook as did Stalin’s secret police chief.

Who knows what illegal crap they have loaded into that phone?

Toss it and get a new one.

We are all going to need multiple phones like the citizens of China. One you hand over and one, or two, that you don’t.

Perry did an idiotic thing.

The correct answer would have been “No, I’m not giving you my phone. Call my attorney. Now get the F out of my way.”

He should have let them take it by force. Would be a great story on the news. Don’t fight, but resist. He should have kept it in his pocket, said the above, and let them wrestle him to the ground and forcefully remove it — arresting him if necessary. Deal with it later in court. He’s a Congressman for gawd’s sake.

Sometimes being a martyr has benefits to the whole...

I think the congressman said that the three not so special agents had a warrant.
It supposedly had something to do with the alternate Pennsylvania electors.

I would immediately replace the phone and have the number changed. It’s bugged.
