MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's appeal in phone seizure will not be heard by Supreme Court
CBS News ^ | April 16, 2024

MINNEAPOLIS — The nation's highest court has rejected an appeal from MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined Lindell's appeal over the FBI's seizure of his phone.

It was taken in 2022 while Lindell was at a Hardee's drive-thru window in Mankato.

The U.S. government was investigating accusations of Lindell sharing sensitive voting system information.

The case is just one of several recent legal battles for Lindell.

In March, a judge evicted MyPillow from a facility in Shakopee after the landlord filed a lawsuit claiming the company was at least $200,000 behind on rent payments.

A month before that, a federal judge affirmed a $5 million arbitration award against Lindell in favor of a software engineer who challenged data that Lindell said proves China interfered in the 2020 U.S. presidential election and tipped the outcome to Joe Biden.

Last October, Lindell said he was out of money and couldn't afford to pay his lawyers, who said he owes them millions of dollars.

Lindell, a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, also faces dual billion-dollar defamation lawsuits from Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic over his allegations the 2020 election was rigged. Lindell previously said MyPillow has lost $100 million due to his election fraud claims.

In January, Fox News — one of Lindell's biggest advertising platforms — stopped running MyPillow commercials due to a payment dispute.

Writer just couldn't bring himself to mention that whatever the problem was, it's been resolved since the ads are running again....

LINDELL’S sheets and towels are superior to any in big box stores.

We bought some “Dream sheets” last week. One of the few products I’ve tried that actually lives up to their hype. Really are more comfortable than anything we’ve ever owned!

“Mike Lindell is a carny barker who got lucky. I wish him the best although I really don’t need to hear another one of his annoying ads.”

Got one on Pandora while driving last week!

“My Pillow was not “evicted” from a warehouse for failure to pay back rent.”

He was evicted by Court order.

“A year ago, Mike Lindell sub-let the warehouse to a completely unrelated firm, ... “

No other company had a sub-let.

” ... and it was this firm that had financial issues, NOT My Pillow.”

No evidence that a related company had financial issues.

“people who don’t like lindell, also seem to don’t believe any election fraud occurred that kept Trump from being re-elected, and are also anti/nevertrumpers...”

All you try to do here is to disrupt and divide. Someone here yesterday suggested you might be a Democrat plant.

You should be on one of his commercials.

I’ve got several of his products. The problem is, how many do I need?

My understanding of Mike Lindell and his pillow business advertising is that the money he raised helped support the Trump rallies. He attends them regularly. He will not get a fair legal judgement anymore than has Trump. It takes untold mega bucks to even exist in our courts if the process is used against a Trump supporter.

This decision doesn’t bode well for Scott Perry.

A report on FOX News in late March stated the following:

“Lindell confirmed that MyPillow owes around $217,000 to Delaware-based First Industrial LP for rent for the facility in Shakopee. He said MyPillow no longer needed the space and removed its remaining property from the warehouse last June (2023) before subleasing the space to another company through December.”

“Another company was going to start subleasing the space in January but backed out and “left us all stranded,” he said. MyPillow offered to find another tenant, he said, but the landlord just wanted to take back control of the warehouse instead. The $217,000 is for unpaid rent for January and February, he said. He also said MyPillow continues to lease space elsewhere.”

So, it sounds like Mr. Lindell is on the hook for the money, even though a third party flaked out on him.

But this is all background noise. The bigger, non-related issue is what happens this Friday, April 19th, when the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether or not to hear Mike Lindell’s voting machine case. Let’s hope it goes the right way.

But they will make it a My Pillow’s crime. It’s so obvious.

SCOTUS takes orders from My Brainless head.
Maybe soon they will get around to the real criminals.

Take back because they weren’t getting paid.
