A federal judge in Minnesota has rejected Mike Lindell’s challenge to the FBI search and seizure of his phone in a 2020 election-related criminal probe.
Judge Eric Tostrud said Lindell, CEO of My Pillow and a prominent backer of former President Donald Trump’s false voter fraud claims, had not shown that the search was unconstitutional, and said he could not have his phone returned or get more access to details from the search.
“The Government has demonstrated a compelling interest in preventing the premature disclosure of search-warrant materials during its ongoing federal criminal investigation. Multiple factors here justify keeping the search warrant materials under seal,” the judge wrote.

Interesting. The courts keep on circling the wagons around the FBI to allow them to do as they please. The illegal search and seizure was bad enough but this decision goes way beyond the pale.
I did search for previous posts but found nothing. If Admin Mods see this as a dupe, please delete.

It’s the Obonzo and Biden “justice system”. Did anyone actually expect a different outcome. The current justice system was designed to destroy Americans. Especially Caucasian males.

Maybe the FBI should confiscate their own phones and do an investigation into the 5 years of THEIR corruption to get President Trump out of office! .../sarc
Here's full proof that they are CORRUPT!

They know that we know they are corrupt. It’s just that they don’t care and we can’t do much about it.

Wife and I were out and we ducked into a Bed Bath and Beyond, I asked where were the My Pillows? Karen said we don’t carry them anymore.
We left and low and behold there was an Ollie’s Bargain Outlet two doors down. This was in Wilmington, NC.
Went inside and I said, “now we know where all the Bed Bath and Beyond My Pillows went”. They had tons of them.
Bought a couple. Could not help myself when going back to the truck but to go back into the BB&B and tell the Karen we found the pillows we were looking.
I’ve got a 700 fill white goose down comforter and duvet cover, (the down comes from Poland) coming this week from My Pillow. I like the My Pillow stuff.
