FBI Picks Their Next Target
(TruthandLiberty.com) – Over the last 18 months, in the wake of the January 6, 2021 riot on Capitol Hill, Democrats have targeted former President Donald Trump and many of his supporters. Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) has been a staunch ally and champion of the potential 2024 presidential candidate. Could it be a coincidence that the FBI targeted him one day after the agency raided Trump’s Florida home? In an exclusive interview on Tuesday, August 9, the Pennsylvania Representative told Fox News three FBI agents approached him with a warrant and ordered the Congressman to give them his personal mobile phone.
At the time of the transaction, Perry said he was traveling with his family. The Pennsylvania legislator said federal agents didn’t attempt to work through his lawyer. He stated the bureau’s action was unnecessary, and his attorney would have made all the arrangements to comply with the warrant. He expressed he felt “outraged” that the FBI would treat a member of Congress in this fashion.

The Congressman said the mobile device contained personal, private communications with his spouse, family, friends, and Pennsylvania district constituents. He stated his phone’s contents weren’t the government’s business and noted the Justice Department’s behavior resembled that of a banana republic.
Perry, the House Freedom Caucus chairman, has served five terms in Congress.
