(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell reported that squads of FBI agents surrounded his vehicle in an ambush raid on Tuesday, seizing his cell phone.
Lindell, a close ally of former President Donald Trump and a fierce critic of 2020 election fraud, made the announcement on his show The Lindell Report.
“I guess I have my own breaking news tonight,” Lindell said, explaining that on his way home from a hunting trip, while stopped at Hardees in Minnesota, he was surrounded by a swarm of FBI agents.
“Cars pulled up in front of us, to the side of us and behind us, and I said ‘they’re either bad guys or the FBI,’” Lindell said. “Well, it turns out they were the FBI.”
The only law Mike Lindell could have broken was being close to Donald Trump. Liberals call us the threats to democracy and then cheer when government intelligence agencies seize the phone of a guy who does nothing but sell pillows and talk about melting voting machines

After multiple squad cars and agents had him surrounded, Lindell said they began grilling him about Colorado and Dominion Voting machines. FBI agents allegedly produced a warrant to confiscate Lindell’s phone, which they snatched despite Lindell explaining that he needed it to run his five companies.
“We are now officially living in a Weaponized Police State, Rigged Elections, and all,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “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!”
Lindell said that after speaking with a lawyer, he relinquished his cell phone. He called the ambush and the FBI’s actions “disgusting” and “garbage.”

The reported raid on Lindell is the latest example of President Joe Biden weaponizing his Justice Department to target, persecute and prosecute anyone who opposes the regime’s leftist agenda or dares raise legitimate questions and concerns about election integrity.
In addition to the unprecedented raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, agents of the Biden junta last week slapped upwards of 40 subpoenas and warrants on high-level Trump supporters. In a separate incident, government agents perp-walked a shackled Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, in front of the media before he pleaded not guilty to charges of fraud and money laundering connected to an alleged Border Wall scheme.
“This is what happens in the last days of a dying regime,” Bannon said at the time.
