Penn Live by  Jan Murphy 8/11/2022

According to multiple sources, several Pennsylvania state lawmakers were issued subpoenas or paid visits by federal investigators looking for information about U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., and an effort to seek alternate electors in the 2020 presidential election to allow former President Donald Trump to remain in office.

UPDATE: This post has been updated with a statement from U.S. Rep. Scott Perry in which Perry said his lawyers have been told he is not a target of an investigation that resulted in an FBI seizure of his cell phone earlier this week.

Federal investigators delivered subpoenas or paid visits to several House and Senate Republican offices in the Pennsylvania Capitol on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to multiple sources.

At least some of the individuals receiving subpoenas were told they were not targets of an investigation, according to at least six sources reached by PennLive, but that they may have information of interest to the FBI. All of the sources had been briefed on the investigative moves in some way, but demanded anonymity in order to discuss them.

The information being requested centered around U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., and the effort to seek alternate electors as part of former President Donald Trump’s efforts to remain in office after the 2020 election, several sources said.

The Washington Post on Wednesday, citing a source familiar with the probe, also reported that Perry’s cellphone was seized Tuesday as part of the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into the use of fake electors to try to overturn President Biden’s victory. The Post’s source also spoke on the condition of anonymity.

If  they are not the target, then it is plain intimidation.

The FBI is the new Brown Shirts and they work for the socialist democrats, the only real difference is todays uniform is suits...and sometimes khakis. I was talking with my mother, and she was saying she never thought she would see the same things happening today as she saw with the rise of Hitler and the nazis, especially not in America. There are none so blind to the loss of their rights as those who take them for granted and the socialists have educated generations of American children to be ignorant of their history and rights.

Proper response:

1.) I want a lawyer.
2.) I exercise my right to remain silent.

Don't believe a word you are told if your attorney is not present.

MAGA elites like @RepMTG and @RepScottPerry believe that if you are a “sitting Member of Congress” you can never be searched. What arrogance. twitter.com/repmtg/status/…

@verga

I agree. The intimidation is so clear there that if Ray Charles were still alive,he  would have to put on darker shades to look at it.

The saddest part is that I SUSPECT this sort of thing isn't even illegal because it would be impossible to prove. Especially in a PA court.
