MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says he is hiding a pro-Trump election official at a secret safe house to help her dodge a FBI investigation



MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has said he is providing a safe house for a Colorado county clerk amid an FBI investigation into her role in an alleged plot to leak election data to a QAnon leader, according to Vice News.

The official at the center of the probe, Mesa County clerk Tina Peters, is accused of compromising voting machines and allowing someone to share sensitive data with QAnon figurehead, Ron Watkins, Insider previously reported.

Peters, a so-called "Trump Truther," permitted surveillance cameras to be turned off for up to two months, it is alleged.

She is under investigation by the Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, and on Tuesday, the FBI said it was also looking into it. The FBI announced that it was working with Colorado's District Attorney's office "to determine if there was a potential federal criminal violation," FBI Denver office spokeswoman Courtney Bernal told the Denver Post.

Two weeks ago, when Griswold issued an order authorizing her staff to travel to Mesa County to inspect the election system, Peters was on her way to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's "cyber symposium" in South Dakota, Vice News reported.

Somehow we're supposed to trust these law-breakers when they make stuff up about fraud... go figure.

She need not worry about her safety. She'll be well-protected in jail.


MORE INFO: Trump won Mesa County, and Mesa County is represented in Congress by Lauren Boebert. Why are these nut cases claiming "fraud" or "rigged" in the places they won?

1. Better not get her pregnant

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

42. Depends on what kind of MyPillow talk has been going on.

[cinematicdiversions]

2. I am sorry but we are getting into the territory of attacking the mentally ill

This is in Britney Spears... Charlie Sheen territory.

He is clearly in serious mental pain and crisis. Perhaps we should leave him be and stop giving him attention allowing his friends and family get him the help he is clearly crying out for.

[reACTIONary]

12. The mentally ill can do a lot of harm...

... and that is exactly what he is doing. We can let him be when and if he lets us be.

[Archae]

13. I doubt it's mental illness.

Mike Lindell has admitted to being a heavy crack smoker in the past, I've met guys who acted like him, while stoned on crack.

[ArizonaLib]

37. Trump preyed on him long before anyone else attacked him

I agree - he looks and acts burned out. He is not inept at pandering to right wing ideologues. He does not come off to me as innocent.

[Major Nikon]

26. Whatever mental derangement he has doesn't affect his ability to function

He’s no more mentally ill than any other Qanon loon. Just because someone has managed to convince themselves of complete and utter bullshit doesn’t make them mentally ill.

Fuck Mike Lindell and the horse he road in on.

[11 Bravo]

28. As soon as he's institutionalized and can no longer do any harm, I'll back off.

Until then fuck him, he's fair game.

[LiberalLovinLug]

31. But he's NOT "clearly crying out for" help

And its not us giving HIM attention. Its HIM demanding attention through his events and TV spots.

Sorry, we cannot allow a dictatorship of the mentally ill. when their intent is to spread dangerous false misinformation, no matter how bleeding heart we are.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

36. Or, perhaps he's just a shitbag crack head!

[ArizonaLib]

38. Why is it that the system treats right wing criminals as mental incompetents?

Pisses me off that so many underage minorities get sentenced as adults. Makes no sense.

[oasis]

41. No way Lindell gets to slide by with his pathetic antics. He's fair game. nt

[LanternWaste]

45. I am sorry... but I dismiss the ethical lectures of anyone who said...

that the act of wearing face masks is nothing more than virtue signaling and compared them to a burqa.

For crying out loud, indeed.

[ShepKat]

3. so...

he's interfering with a federal investigation ? hmmmm

[Justice matters.]

16. Accessory after the fact.

Bingo. What's the FBI waiting for to arrest him?

[C Moon]

27. He's Republican. They don't arrest Republicans until pressured to do so.

[ArizonaLib]

39. And when they do, somehow they are considered to be mentally ill

Ram on, C Moon!

[C Moon]

40. :D ... soon, right away

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

43. Have the FBI tried to speak to her after Lindell gave her shelter?

And have they been unable to speak to her if they tried? If not, then he isn't actually impeding the investigation.

[Justice matters.]

44. Well, the hispillow terrorist gave her shelter for a reason...

or he's lying like a republiQan, as usual...

So either way, the FBI should open an investigation.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

46. If he does something for which he can be charged, he should be.

However, he actually hasn't done anything criminal yet.

[Fullduplexxx]

4. Harboring a fugitive?

[usaf-vet]

25. Arrest his a$$ for Obstruction of Justice.

[llashram]

5. she's in hiding?

why? Must be guilty or liddulls lover or something

[samnsara]

6. has he kidnapped her or what?

...she cant hide in his pillow infested safe house forever

[Initech]

7. When will Mr. Lindell be seeing the inside of MyJailCell?

How come nothing bad ever happens to these scumbags?

[LW1977]

22. How about MyStraightJacket

[Justice matters.]

30. Parfait.

Now is there any straightjacket for the mouth?

[Botany]

8. Hello FBI? I am hiding somebody that you want to talk to ...

Now you don't want to do a title search of properties that I own or trace phone calls do you?

[3Hotdogs]

9. 2 Maroons?

Pillow guy and the hide-ee?

[totodeinhere]

10. Mike better watch it.

If that person is indicted then Mike could be charged with harboring a fugitive which is a felony. Hopefully Mike and the Donald will be sharing a prison cell soon.

[reACTIONary]

11. Obstruction of justice. nt

[TlalocW]

14. How the interview could easily have gone

Reporter: So you're hiding a pro-Trump election official at a safe house?
Lindell: Yes, a SECRET safe house where she'll be secure against any threats until what she has to say can be revealed...
Reporter: It's your house, isn't it?
Lindell: THIS INTERVIEW IS OVER!

TlalocW

[Justice matters.]

18. I would have added: "you do know this is illegal, right?"

But it's just me.

[mackdaddy]

15. 18 U.S. Code § 3 - Accessory after the fact

Whoever, knowing that an offense against the United States has been committed, receives, relieves, comforts or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment, is an accessory after the fact.

Except as otherwise expressly provided by any Act of Congress, an accessory after the fact shall be imprisoned not more than one-half the maximum term of imprisonment or (notwithstanding section 3571) fined not more than one-half the maximum fine prescribed for the punishment of the principal, or both; or if the principal is punishable by life imprisonment or death, the accessory shall be imprisoned not more than 15 years.

Just might apply?

[Justice matters.]

17. Yep.

But he's white...

[OldBaldy1701E]

33. And (at least for the moment), wealthy... (n/t)

[Slammer]

32. apprehension

If you believe Lindell, the FBI isn't trying to apprehend her but only question her.

If that's the case, he's not guilty of being an accessory but is guilty of Obstruction of Justice since he's obstructing the FBI in their investigation.

If he later claims he was lying about hiding her, he is guilty of fraud since he's helping fundraise off of the true believers with these false claims.

[cstanleytech]

19. Let me guess, he is hiding him under his bed?

[BadGimp]

20. He's trying to stir shit up

He goes from one grandstand to the next with no care what fires he starts along the way.

This guy is dangerous.

[flying_wahini]

21. Don't you know there is a cadre of lawyers coaching her on what happened and how it's all

Going down?

[Mz Pip]

23. Not something to go public with

But Mike isn’t all that bright.

[MyOwnPeace]

24. Oh, I get it!!!!

He's using the "super-secret hiding place" at Faber College - while he's keeping the FBI under "super-double suspension" from finding out where the hiding place is!!!

[malthaussen]

29. Why does the media give oxygen to this twerp?

Seems like any fool with a theory can get air time on major media.

34. As I read your header, I had my Emily Litella moment.

Just one letter misread. "Mike Lindell says he is hiding a pro-Trump erection official at a secret safe house".

If you ask me, it's not very secret.

Wait... it's "election"!

Never mind!

[MissMillie]

35. That's very funny!!!!
