In 2014, Texas Gov. Rick Perry was indicted on trumped up charges by a liberal DA, fingerprinted, and forced to take a mugshot, destroying his presidential campaign. Rick Perry Takes Mugshot With Head Held High The indictment of Donald Trump by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg Thursday sent shockwaves around the country. Trump’s defenders — and even some legal experts — haven’t been shy about describing the prosecution of Trump as politically motivated. While the specific indictment has yet to be revealed, Bragg appears likely to charge Trump with felony “falsifying of business records” pertaining to a Federal Election Commission...

Rep. Scott Perry, who the Jan. 6 committee said sought a pardon for his involvement in attempts to overturn the 2020 election, wants to turn the tables on the panel that investigated him now that the Republicans have gained a majority in the House. “Why should I be limited… just because someone has made an accusation?” Perry told This Week host George Stephanopoulos on Sunday when he asked if Perry would pledge not to serve on the investigation into the Jan. 6 committee.

“In his 14 years in Republican Leadership, McCarthy has repeatedly failed to demonstrate any desire to meaningfully change the status quo in Washington,” Rep. Perry declared. Perry said McCarthy presented a “vague ultimatum” lacking in specifics and substance over the holiday weekend after months of dragging his feet. He said he and other GOP members who have been skeptical of McCarthy approached him with an offer to get him to the 218 votes he needs to win the speakership, asking for “firm” commitments to hold votes on four policy proposals. The policies are creating a balanced budget, replacing national income,...

Hoover, 39, was previously arrested in June and charged with one count of an...

“Federal agents should not be given carte blanche to root around in Rep. Perry’s phone data looking for evidence that they hope might further their investigation,” his attorneys wrote in a lawsuit. U.S. Rep. Scott Perry is seeking to block the Justice Department from accessing the contents of his cell phone as officials continue to investigate his involvement in former President Donald Trump’s efforts to stay in power after losing the 2020 election. FBI agents seized the York County Republican’s phone on Aug. 9 under a court-authorized search warrant. But investigators have not yet been authorized to access any of...

The best explanation I have found of the events leading up to the raid, he talks about Trump's ability as Commander to declassify anything, the curious timing of the raid, and that the Espionage Act is likely unconstitutional in its scope, and may have been 'triggered' by nothing more than a momento dispute. Yeah, it's another YT video we all complain about having to watch! But his analysis is quite good.

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the Justice Department “appeared to be investigating the fake elector plot” because Rep.

The committee looked into his actions and the slate of fake electors. We heard during the public...

Philip Perry, who is married to Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, is a partner at the same law firm representing President Joe Biden’s scandal-ridden son, Hunter. Last week, the Daily Mail reached out to Hunter Biden’s attorney for comment on a story unearthing new details to the extent the younger Biden leveraged the family name for lucrative overseas business ventures. In 2014, the paper reported, then-Vice President Biden met with a pair of Chinese energy executives connected to Hunter Biden’s foreign business deals. An attorney named Christopher Clark, who is listed with the firm Latham & Watkins as partner, responded to...

A Cumberland County man already running for office said Wednesday that he is pivoting to a bigger stage as the shock waves from Eugene DePasquale’s non-candidacy for Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District continue to wash over through the midstate. Rick Coplen, a retired Army officer and current Carlisle school board member residing in Dickinson Township, has become the first - but maybe not the last - to give regional Democrats what they wanted most this week: a candidate to challenge incumbent Rep. Scott Perry, R-York County. “The family meeting to discuss this decision was short and sweet,” Coplen said in announcing...

U.S. lawmakers concerned about human rights in China, and their supporters, need to be exceedingly clear that their quarrel is with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and not with the people of China, said Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.). The many human rights abuses in China, involving myriad issues such as forced labor camps, concentration camps, organ harvesting, disappearances, and extrajudicial killings, are urgent issues that call for concerted action, but Perry said that all too often, “China” is identified as the culprit in discussions of these matters, rather than the CCP. “I think you always have to make the distinction....

Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) has announced he will not cooperate with the “illegitimate” House January 6 committee after he was asked to answer questions about the “Stop the Steal” rally that took place at the Capitol. Perry is the first member of Congress to be pursued by the Jan. 6 committee, but the committee has sent out dozens of subpoenas to President Donald Trump’s former White House staff.

Members of the Jan. 6 select committee tasked with investigating the deadly attack on the Capitol want Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) to come in and provide information to the panel regarding alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. While the panel did not subpoena Perry — an ally for former President Donald Trump who was recently elected to serve as the next chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus — the request marks the first time the committee has asked a sitting lawmaker to testify about the matter.

The House Freedom Caucus’ incoming chairman said that congressional Republicans have to devise a clear agenda and messaging ahead of the 2022 midterm elections in order to convince voters that there are distinct differences between them and establishment Democrats “in an era of freewheeling spending and large government,” Just the News reported. “We need to be in contact with more individual citizens and every single district in every state bringing the message to them so that they understand what the difference is and that there is a true difference,” Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) told the outlet.
