Timcast IRL #590 - FBI SEIZES Phone From GOP Rep, Trump Raid Judge Tied To Epstein w/Michael Seifert
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode #590 opened with breaking political news as Tim Pool and his co-hosts discussed the FBI seizure of Republican Congressman Scott Perry's cell phone, just one day after the unprecedented raid on former President Donald Trump's home. Tim Pool declared this moment had fundamentally changed the country, referencing George Conway's statement that officials had crossed the Rubicon. The panel explored how a sitting member of Congress having his phone confiscated by federal agents represented a dangerous escalation in the weaponization of the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland. Co-host Ian Crossland noted they were beyond the theoretical phase of political confrontation that writer Matt Saiby had previously described. The conversation then shifted to explosive new information about the judge who signed Trump's search warrant being connected to Jeffrey Epstein, with the revelation that this judge had been a federal prosecutor who later defended Epstein's associates and was an Obama donor. The hosts expressed disbelief at this connection, with Tim Pool stating that this news was lighting up the internet with conspiracy theories. The episode also covered Hillary Clinton fundraising off the Trump raid and a bizarre story about someone mailing feces to Republicans. The show featured Michael Seifert, CEO of Public Square, who joined to discuss alternatives to woke corporate platforms and announced TimCast's switch from PayPal to Parallel Economy. Mary Morgan also appeared as a guest to discuss pop culture matters.
