He's not wrong. They pulled him aside without a warrant and gave him a choice with zero options: Surrender your phone data and give up your privacy, and in the current political climate they always find something that is hurtful to Donald's tender feelings, or refuse and be detained.
I made a video on Samuel's story a few weeks ago, if anyone out there hasn't heard of it.
Yes if they had any actionable information on him they would have already been advertising it or putting it out there. The fact that they haven't speaks volumes. This Administration would even purposefully griefly put out false information as long as it hurts people they don't like.
There's a good chance they had information on him, but they got it illegally and needed to 'accidentally' discover the same information during a 'random' search and now they're butthurt because it didn't work.
If they had anything, they'd've had a warrant.
