The FBI has raided Mar-A-Lago

In another stunning display of her political prowess and her amazing grasp of legal matters, MTG has filed articles of impeachment against Merrick Garland for political persecution of Trump.

She seldom fails to outdo herself

Imagine if you will, an MTG rally with her supporters packed into a room---47 teeth and 38 brain cells

...and this in my morning mail from my PA News aggregator:

Federal investigators delivered subpoenas or paid visits to the offices of several Republican lawmakers in Harrisburg this week, according to a PennLive report citing multiple sources.

The sources, who demanded anonymity in order to discuss the investigatory details shared with them, said the information being requested centers on U.S. Rep. Scott Perry (R., Pa.) — a top Trump ally whose phone was seized by FBI agents on Tuesday, one day after a raid at Trump's Florida home.

"At least some of the individuals [in Harrisburg] receiving subpoenas were told they were not targets of an investigation," PennLive adds, "but that they may have information of interest to the FBI."

Sources told the outlet that the investigation is focused on Perry's role in a plan to use alternate/fake electors to try to overturn Biden's 2020 victory.

THE CONTEXT: Perry, of York County, has been extensively linked to Trump's efforts to overturn Biden's 2020 victory. He has so far refused to cooperate with congressional investigators probing those activities and the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol building.

The New York Times calls Tuesday's seizure of Perry's phone "the latest sign of an escalating election inquiry" by the DOJ, one that's centered on the efforts to block Biden's win and distinct from the Presidential Records Act-related probe that led FBI agents to Mar-a-Lago on Monday.

Perry's lawyer, John Irving, told the paper that Perry's phone was returned to him on Wednesday. Irving also said that prosecutors informed Perry that "he was a witness in, not a subject of, their inquiry."

"Representative Perry has directed us to cooperate with the Justice Department in order to ensure that it gets the information it is entitled to," Irving added, "but to also protect information that it is not entitled to."

The spider is being caught in his own web:

At least one lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump signed a written statement in June asserting that all material marked as classified and held in boxes in a storage area at Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and club had been returned to the government, four people with knowledge of the document said.

The written declaration was made after a visit on June 3 to Mar-a-Lago by Jay I. Bratt, the top counterintelligence official in the Justice Department’s national security division.

The existence of the signed declaration, which has not previously been reported, is a possible indication that Mr. Trump or his team were not fully forthcoming with federal investigators about the material. And it could help explain why a potential violation of a criminal statute related to obstruction was cited by the department as one basis for seeking the search warrant used to carry out the daylong search of the former president’s home on Monday, an extraordinary step that generated political shock waves.

At what point will more current rinos stand up and again be Republicans?

This scow is on the way to the bottom

And not mentioned so far is making a false statement to federal investigators. I suspect there has been a lot of that.

Good question, Dave.
