MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has filed a lawsuit against the FBI and the Department of Justice for illegally seizing his cell phone. Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray are listed as defendants.
Lindell's lawsuit explains how the FBI violated his First, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment rights. The document is 20 pages long and images of all the pages would exceed the space allowed on Substack â so Iâve included the opening pages and a few of the most pertinent passages here.

Letâs get to the meat of the arguments. Item 25 on page 6 reads as follows:
The FBI declined to allow Mike Lindell to call his lawyer.
Thatâs illegal.
The FBI would also not allow Mike Lindell to leave the fast food restaurant parking lot â which constitutes an arrest, even though he was not under arrest.
Thatâs illegal.
Here are items 68 - 74 on Page 15:
The FBI illegally detained Mike Lindell, and then illegally asked him questions while illegally denying him the chance to call his lawyer.
They failed to read him his Miranda rights â which is also illegal.
How did the FBI locate Mike Lindell in the first place? Did the FBI obtain a search warrant to find Mike Lindell? Or was the U.S. Government illegally tracking the movements of Mike Lindell all the time? If the U.S. Government did not obtain a warrant prior to putting Mike Lindell under surveillance â and who really believes that it did? â then his rights were violated.
