U.S. Rep. Scott Perry rents two district offices from a developer charged in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot

U.S. Rep. Scott Perry, a York County Republican, rents two district offices in central Pennsylvania from a developer who was charged with attacking police officers with a flagpole during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol in Washington.

Lowell Gates, 63, has an extensive portfolio of properties, including buildings in office parks in Harrisburg and Mechanicsburg where Perry has offices and is also a lawyer. A listing for Gates in the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania said he was admitted to practice law in 1986 but does not currently have private clients.

Gates was charged two weeks ago with six felony and misdemeanor counts, including assaulting a law enforcement officer with a deadly or dangerous weapon. Jay Ostrich, Perry’s district director and spokesperson, did not respond to requests for comment.

Perry led the charge on the House floor on Jan. 6 in an attempt to throw out Pennsylvania’s electoral votes while echoing then-President Donald Trump’s lies about election fraud in the state. FBI agents used a search warrant last year to seize his cell phone as part of a wide-ranging investigation into Trump’s efforts to stay in office after losing the 2020 election. That investigation became the basis for one of the four criminal indictments now filed against Trump.

I hope he is on some "un-indicted co-conspirator" list.

1. So it has been 1 year now

since the FBI seized Perry's cell phone.

1. How long does it take to get legal access to look at his phone?
2. Are members of Congress immune from prosecution?
3. Did the FBI get access and it is just keeping it a secret?

3. They probably already used his info for the J6 case

Remember that Smith has so far "narrowed" the initial scope of his J6 case in order to move fast. Part of it supposedly deals with the "fake electors" but it will be interesting to see if that "2nd bogus theory" - the one that Eastman and Cruz were promoting - that the "state legislatures" have some kind of authority to overturn the voters - will be broached during the course of any of these cases (federal or GA).

5. Scott Perry is a crook.

It's really a shame that he keeps getting re-elected. The people in his district need to wake up.
