Past the point of no return, no backward glances, our games of make-believe are at an end…we have passed the point of no return. — Phantom Of The Opera
The January 6 Committee is throwing its net wide and catching some interesting fish this week and it’s only Wednesday. Sean Hannity is quite a catch and now there’s a sizeable fish in Mike Lindell. Lindell’s phone records have been subpoenaed but he will have you know, he knows nothing, nothing. CNBC:
“I wasn’t there on January 6th and yes they did subpoena my phone records but we filed a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief against the January 6th committee and Verizon to completely invalidate this corrupt subpoena,” Lindell said in a text message to CNBC on Wednesday, the eve of the one-year anniversary of the attack on the Capitol. […]
Lindell is the latest Trump ally who is trying to use the legal system to block the release of his phone records. Former Trump national security advisor Mike Flynn, who was previously pardoned by the then-commander-in-chief after pleading guilty to federal charges, sued the committee after it subpoenaed his records. Former White House advisor Sebastian Gorka also filed a lawsuit in a similar effort.[…]
Though Lindell has continued to say he had nothing to do with that took place on Jan. 6, he was said to be at various pro-Trump events in the days leading up to the insurrection.
Multiple people have claimed that Lindell met at the Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C. on Jan. 5, alongside other Trump allies, including former advisor Peter Navarro, attorney Rudy Giuliani and Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., to discuss election-related matters.
Lindell told CNBC on Wednesday that he was never at that meeting. He said he stayed at the hotel before he went to a gathering in Virginia.
Daniel Beck, the CEO of Idaho-based Txtwire, described a gathering on a Facebook post published the day before the riot.
“Fifteen of us spent the evening with Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle, Tommy Tuberville, Michael J. Lindell, Peter Navarro, and Rudy Giuliani. We talked about the elections, illegal votes, court cases, the republics’ status, what to expect on the hill tomorrow. TRUMP WILL RETAIN THE PRESIDENCY!!!,” the post reads.
Charles Herbster, a Republican candidate running to be the next governor of Nebraska, also placed Lindell with the same group on Jan. 5 at the Trump hotel.
Lindell was pictured leaving the White House days after the attack on the Capitol. The papers carried by Lindell partially read “martial law if necessary.”
He was also involved with rallies organized by Women for American First, a pro-Trump nonprofit group who helped put together the rally where proceeding the riot at the Capitol.
MyPillow paid $100,000 to the organization for a sponsorship ad on the group’s bus, which traveled to various pro-Trump rallies across the country from November 2020 until mid-December that year. Pictures of the Women for America First bus show the MyPillow sign on the side of the vehicle. That group later organized what it called a “caravan” to Washington on Jan. 5.
Lindell claims that he will spend the rest of his net worth, which is estimated at this point at $25 million, to “restore” Trump’s presidency. At this point the smart move would be for him to spend whatever money he’s got on his lawyers. His world is going to be rocked very soon.
And Mike, please, trust us on this one: The attorneys general of these United States and the Supreme Court are not going to do a bloody thing with that bundle of paper with the binder clip that you carry around. Put it in the shredder and save yourself. You’re welcome.
