FBI Seized Republican Rep. Scott Perry’s Cellphone

NEWS HOUR FIRST | By Patti Walbridge | September 21, 2022

Rep. Scott Perry was traveling recently and was approached by three FBI agents who presented a warrant and demanded his cellphone. Just the day prior, President Trump’s Florida home was raided. Merrick Garland’s DOJ is behind these two events and only Republicans are talking about it. Democrats are silent. This wasn’t necessary either. Perry also pointed out 87,000 new IRS agents were hired.

FBI tactics

Perry said in a statement,

“This morning, while traveling with my family, 3 FBI agents visited me and seized my cell phone. They made no attempt to contact my lawyer, who would have made arrangements for them to have my phone if that was their wish. I’m outraged — though not surprised — that the FBI under the direction of Merrick Garland’s DOJ, would seize the phone of a sitting Member of Congress. My phone contains info about my legislative and political activities, and personal/private discussions with my wife, family, constituents, and friends. None of this is the government’s business.”

Perry continued, “as with President Trump last night, DOJ chose this unnecessary and aggressive action instead of simply contacting my attorneys. These kinds of banana republic tactics should concern every Citizen — especially considering the decision before Congress this week to hire 87,000 new IRS agents to further persecute law-abiding Citizens.”
