Mike Lindell Says He's Openly Violating The FBI's Orders

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell admitted in a video that he is openly violating the FBI's directive to NOT talk about the seizure of his cell phone, a move that could end up putting him in even more trouble. And when you look at what was actually in the FBI's material regarding Lindell, you begin to realize that he's already in more trouble than he could possibly handle. Farron Cousins explains what's happening and what it could mean for the Pillow Man.

Following his, uh, confrontation, I guess we'll call it with the FBI at a Hardy's drive through on Tuesday evening. Mike Linde took to his Linde TV website to make it very clear to the world that he is not going to comply with the FBI's requests. Now, as of this point, you know, by the time he recorded this video, he had obviously already given his cell phone to the FBI. Didn't have, uh, much choice there because his lawyer who he called before he handed the phone over said, you need to give him your phone, bud. But anyway, as part of that FBI order, they also said, by the way, you're not allowed to talk about all of this, okay. Because if you do, it's gonna harm the ongoing investigation. So Linde says to hell with it gets on Linde TV and puts out this video explicitly saying that he's gonna break the rules. The FBI put in place for him here. He is

FBI. I you're gonna hear this. And you're probably already hearing in the news. The FBI came after me and took my phone. They surrounded me at a Hardee's and, uh, took my phone. I run all my business, everything with, um, um, they could have just, what we've done is weaponize the FBI. Um, it's disgusting. I don't have a computer, everything I do have that phone, everything was on there and, uh, um, in the Bible and they told me not to tell anybody here's an order not to don't tell anybody. Okay. I won't. I am. So

Now ordinarily a confession like that. Like, Hey, the law told me that I can't do a thing, but I'm gonna go ahead and do a thing. Um, would land any one of us in trouble, right? The FBI would've immediately been knocking on your door, like, Hey, um, you kind of just admitted very publicly that you're gonna break the rules. So guess what? We got a free pair of handcuffs for you. Yay. Congratulations. But they're not gonna do that because apparently that order from the FBI to not say anything about the case was not actually a legally binding order. Like somehow some way in order from a law enforcement agency, wasn't actually legally binding. Um, okay. Maybe that can be challenged in court because I'm pretty sure if they basically put a gag order on you when you're involved in an investigation and then you talk about it, that's, you know, 99% of the time, a prosecutable offense.

And there's lots of different ways to prosecute that, right? Obstruction of justice, uh, witness tampering, jury tampering, all kinds of things that go along with talking about something when you're ordered not to talk about it. But honestly that may be the least of Mike Lindell's legal problems because thanks to him being a loud mouth and showing us the documents that the, that the FBI gave me here. Um, he showed us that. Yeah, he's in he's in deep, deep, deep trouble. let me read what was in those documents from the FBI. There's a lot of legalese in here. So bear with me. Um, so all records and information on the Lindel cell phone that constitute fruits, evidence or instrumentalities of violations of 18 us code 1 28, um, identity theft, intentional damage to protected computer and or three 11 conspiracy to cufflink identity theft and or to cause intentional damage to a protected computer.

The subject offenses, those violations involving Tina Peters, coan, James Hayes, Belinda, uh, ley, Sandra Brown, Sharon Bishop, Michael Linde, and or Douglas Frank among other co-conspirators known and unknown to the government since November 1st, 2020. And then it goes on to say all records and information relating to damage, to any dominion, computerized voting system, including any impairment to, or attempt to impair the integrity or availability of data, a program, a system, or information it goes on and on and on. Basically, if you made any copies of anything, if you have any of those copies on anything of anything, if your cell phone contains any data or communications about these things, if we find any malware on your phone that will allow somebody else, an outside party to control your phone, those are the things they're looking for to find out Michellin Dell's involvement,
