MyPillow CEO Casually Admits To Criminal Acts During Rally

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell accidentally admitted to violating Colorado law during a rally this week when he claimed that he had donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the legal defense of Tina Peters. State law prohibits gifts of more than $65, and Lindell's statement could end up launching a new investigation that gets both him and Peters in even more trouble than they are already in. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

This past week, Mike Lindell at a rally in Colorado admitted that he broke Colorado state law. Just kind of actually casually admitted it. Like it was no big deal. Maybe he didn't know he was breaking the law. Maybe he didn't realize that the cameras were rolling when he said this, but here is what happened. Linde was at asked by reporters about Tina Peters. She, of course has, is the indicted, uh, former Mesa county elections clerk. Uh, she is under investigation because information from the voting machines was leaked to conspiracy theorists and couple other serious charges against her that they are currently. Um, so yeah, Tina Peters is in a lot of trouble and of course, Tina Peters as an election clerk, not somebody who had a ton of money. So Mike Andell claimed in an interview at this rally that, uh, I just put all the money in myself.

I don't know. I probably put in 3, 4, 5, maybe $800,000 of my own money to her legal defense fund. Now, see, here's the problem for officials in the state of Colorado, which Tina Peters, you know, falls under that category. They're legally not allowed to a accept and you are not legally allowed to give any gifts total more than $65, not 6,500, not $65,065. And Michael and Dell's out here saying like, oh, I may have given her as much as 800,000 for this legal defense. Cool. That's a crime in the state of Colorado. That's not legal and believe it or not. One of the things Tina Peters is currently being investigated for is potentially accepting gifts worth more than the legally allowed limit of, you know, $65. But it doesn't stop there. Lynn Dell admitted that he probably flew her out to his cyber symposium last year on his own plane.

And wouldn't, you know, it, that is also considered a gift that would be valued at over $65. So Mike, Lindell's got some problems. Mike, Mike Linde has lots of problems. Let's be clear about that, but he also has lots of legal problems. If you know what I'm saying, and this is probably gonna add to it, right? I mean this past week, he already got hit with another defamation lawsuit, uh, from a former dominion voting systems employee who Lynn Dell and Rudy Giuliani, and a couple of the other conspiracy theorists out there had kind have made the face of it. Claim that this guy said on a conference call, that he helped rig the machines against Donald Trump claims, which are completely untrue, Linde furthered these claims on his platforms. So he got hit with another

Defamation lawsuit this past week. Now he's in Colorado admitting that yeah, gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to this woman. Cool, good luck with that defense, because this is literally on tape. There is video of you saying this, and of course, if you're writing checks to legal defense funds or, you know, depositing money, whatever it is, um, there's gonna be records of that as well. So you better hope the officials weren't paying attention in the state of Colorado Mike, because you did whether accidentally or intentionally admit to breaking state law.
