“They made no attempt to contact my lawyer, who would have made arrangements for them to have my phone if that was their wish.“

HAHAHAHA is this dumbass for real??? Yeah when the cops show up with a warrant they get to take what they want NOW. This isn’t like picking up a cake from the grocery store. You don’t get to arrange this when it is convenient for you. Give us your friggin phone!!!

Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, as well as multiple other Republican lawmakers, contacted the White House in the weeks after Jan. 6, 2021, to seek presidential pardons for their roles in attempting to overturn the presidential election results, the Jan. 6 select committee revealed Thursday in its prime-time hearing on the Capitol attack.

“Rep. Scott Perry … has refused to testify here,” Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), vice chair of the select committee, said as she opened its case to the American public. “As you will see, Representative Perry contacted the White House in the weeks after Jan. 6 to seek a presidential pardon. Multiple other Republican congressmen also sought presidential pardons for their roles in attempting to overturn the 2020 election”
