Another one to my right. Another one came up behind me, all different kinds of cars,&#8221; Lindell said. &#8220;I opened the door, I said &#8216;Who are you people?&#8217; And they said, &#8216;We&#8217;re the FBI.'&#8221;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Lindell also lashed out at both political parties, the media, and government for not supporting him or his fictitious election fraud claims. He also noted in the almost 40-minute interview that the FBI\u2019s seizure of his phone was related to the case of the Mesa County, Colorado clerk Tina Peters who has been charged with what authorities have labeled as a \u201cdeceptive scheme&#8221; to breach voting system technology used nationwide per the Star Tribune\u2019s report.<\/p>\n<p>Peter\u2019s is facing multiple charges, including criminal impersonation and attempting to influence a public servant. Another Mesa County deputy clerk was also charged, pleading guilty and has been sentenced to two years of probation. Federal authorities also questioned Lindell about Dominion Voter Systems, the company targeted by Lindell\u2019s election fraud claims who is suing him for $1.3 billion in defamation damages.<\/p>\n<p>The MyPillow CEO compared the FBI&#8217;s seizure of his cellphone to the &#8220;Gestapo in Nazi Germany,&#8221; stating he did not want to hand the phone over at first but did so after calling his lawyer, but did so after his lawyer informed him he had no choice. Lindell said that he \u201cconducts day-to-day business for five companies from that phone\u201d per the Star Tribune\u2019s report.<\/p>\n<p>Looks like pillow guy is not going to be getting much sleep now that federal authorities have access to his whole life. Don\u2019t worry about his business though, he will now be selling MyPhone accompanied with a MySubpoena and all that alleged election fraud evidence (kidding<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Nikki Slusher The MyPillow guy is going through some things this week.
