Let’s be honest, anyone who thought that they were going to get $5 million out of Lindell are fools. They’re going to have to stand in line after the other lawsuits, and it’s unlikely there will be anything left. You might as well squeeze blood out of a stone, or try to get Trump to pay a bill. ---

New reports state that Lindell is harboring the Colorado county clerk that leaked all the Dominion passwords in a “safe house.” Here’s hoping they issue a warrant on her so they can get him for harboring a fugitive. > **[Mike Lindell Is Hiding A County Clerk Amid FBI Probe Of A Vote Data Leak: Report](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mike-lindell-colorado-county-clerk-tina-peters-qanon-safe-house-fbi_n_611ef596e4b0ff60bf7eba69)** > > As the FBI investigates claims that Colorado voting machine passwords were given to a presumed QAnon leader, the clerk is reportedly at a secret safe house. ---

I’ll give Lindell an ounce of credit. He is trying to prove that the presidential election was illegitimate, and highlighting the corruption of a county clerk is at least enough to show that not everything was perfect. Of course that’s totally accidental since he’s treating her as a whistleblower…, [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/twitter-bans-mypillow-corporate-account-after-mike-lindell-uses-it-to-circumvent-personal-twitter-ban/932095.md?page=31) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/twitter-bans-mypillow-corporate-account-after-mike-lindell-uses-it-to-circumvent-personal-twitter-ban/932095.md?page=33)
