The FBI confiscated «My Pillow Guy» Mike Lindell’s phone after agents dispatched in multiple federal vehicles surrounded him while he stopped at a fast-food restaurant in Mankato, Minnesota, prompting President Trump to condemn the continuing attacks on his supporters.
It was only days earlier that Fox News host Tucker Carlson had revealed Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice had unleashed another scheme against Trump and his allies, using dozens of «terrifying» subpoenas to demand unprecedented details about private communications.
Targeted then, among others, were a number of lawyers who have represented Trump in recent years.
It was after word of the FBI assault apparently in a parking lot that Trump issued a statement:
» Mike Lindell, ‘THE Pillow Guy,’ was just raided by the FBI. We are now officially living in a Weaponized Police State, Rigged Elections, and all. Our Country is a laughing stock all over the World. The majesty of the United States is gone. Can’t let this happen. TAKE BACK AMERICA!» he said on Truth Social.
Lindell had responded to the action, apparently part of the Biden administration’s battle against Trump and his associates, with Bible verses:
«‘Be strong and courageous. Be not afraid or dismayed…for there is…with us…our God to help us.’ 2Ch 32:7-8 AMPC,» he wrote. «Instead of worrying, stand on God’s Word.»
He continued, «Have you lost your sense of peace? Is your mind besieged with worry? If so, begin to program your thinking with these Bible promises—write them down, carry them with you, and read them regularly: (1) ‘The Lord…watches over you…stands beside you…keeps you from all harm…watches over your life…keeps watch…as you come and go’ (Ps 121:5-8 NLT). (2).»
Reports said the FBI «corroborated» elements of the report from Lindell that FBI agents seized his cell phone.
Reports suggested the seizure was related to a case brought by the Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems on suspicion he might be in possession of some documents.
Dominion is suing Lindell for his comments regarding suspicious 2020 presidential election results that resulted from the company’s voting machines.
A commentary at the Gateway Pundit described how the «Stasi-FBI» targeted Lindell.
«Lindell is the latest victim in the DOJ-FBI’s war on Trump supporters and working Americans,» it said. «Just two weeks ago Joe Biden declared war on his political opposition. Biden called out American patriots as a clear and present danger to the nation.
«The U.S. is sliding quickly into totalitarianism. God help us in the days ahead.»
Biden, in fact, at a speech in Philadelphia where he posed Marines on stage and bathed his stage in blood-red light, claimed that Republicans are a threat to the nation in a direct attack on the 74 million who voted for President Trump in 2020.
