Special Counsel Jack Smith Spied On Multiple GOP Senators

An FBI document obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) shows that the FBI, under Joe Biden, spied on 8 Republican senators as part of its Arctic Frost investigation.

Grassley said the 2023 investigation, which formed the basis of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s elector case against President Trump, targeted 8 GOP Senators’ personal cell phones for “tolling data” tracking their use between January 4 and January 7, 2021.

According to a press release from the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, the FBI targeted 8 GOP Senators, including Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) as well as Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA).

In that press release, Grassley stated, “Based on the evidence to-date, Arctic Frost and related weaponization by federal law enforcement under Biden was arguably worse than Watergate.”

Grassley added, “What I’ve uncovered today is disturbing and outrageous political conduct by the Biden FBI. The FBI’s actions were an unconstitutional breach, and Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel need to hold accountable those involved in this serious wrongdoing.”

The FBI’s Arctic Frost investigation began in April 2022 by former agent Timothy Thibault and was assigned to Special Counsel Jack Smith in November 2022.

Whistleblower disclosure obtained earlier this year revealed the FBI, with personal assistance from officials in the Biden White House, also obtained the government cell phones of President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence as part of the investigation.

Just last month, Grassley released records showing that 92 Republican-linked individuals and groups like Turning Point USA were also scrutinized by the FBI as part of the Arctic Frost investigation.

Grassley noted that he has been working with whistleblowers since July 2022 and stated, “It’s taken years to get records and advance my investigation, but what the public is seeing now demonstrates the importance of congressional oversight and whistleblowers. My whistleblowers deserve great thanks for what they’ve helped expose. None of this would have been known without them.”

@specman says

agents that were wire tapping

The FBI had warrants to investigate tRump's Jan 6 crimes, including communications. Out of that investigation came a detailed indictment. lemme quote a bit of it to aid your understanding.

For the curious mind, Jack Smith's Jan 6 indictment spells Trump's post election crimes out in excruciating detail:
https://www.justice.gov/storage/US_v_Trump_23_cr_257.pdf

William Barr says this:

Trump’s lawyers have argued that his statements were protected under the First Amendment, a position that Barr, in his first interview since Trump’s third indictment, said was not a valid argument.

“As the indictment says, they are not attacking his First Amendment right. He can say whatever he wants, he can even lie. He can even tell people that the election was stolen when he knew better,” Barr said. “But that does not protect you from entering into a conspiracy.”

Lemme just quote a little bit of Jack Smith here:

4. Shortly after election day, the Defendant also pursued unlawful means of discounting legitimate votes and subverting the election results. In so doing, the Defendant perpetrated three criminal conspiracies:

a. A conspiracy to defraud the United States by using dishonesty, fraud, and deceit to impair, obstruct, and defeat the lawful federal government function by which the results of the presidential election are collected, counted, and certified by the federal government, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371;

b. A conspiracy to corruptly obstruct and impede the January 6 congressional proceeding at which the collected results of the presidential election are counted and certified ("the certification proceeding"), in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(k);and

c. A conspiracy against the right to vote and to have one's vote counted, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241. Each of these conspiracies—which built on the widespread mistrust the Defendant was creating through pervasive and destabilizing lies about election fraud—targeted a bedrock function of the United States federal government: the nation's process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election ("the federal government function").

And let's not forget Trump's fake electors plot

10. The Defendant's conspiracy to impair, obstruct, and defeat the federal government function through dishonesty, fraud, and deceit included the following manner and means:

a. The Defendant and co-conspirators used knowingly false claims of election fraud to get state legislators and election officials to subvert the legitimate election results and change electoral votes for the Defendant's opponent, Joseph R. Biden, Jr., to electoral votes for the Defendant. That is, on the pretext of baseless fraud claims, the Defendant pushed officials in certain states to ignore the popular vote; disenfranchise millions of voters; dismiss legitimate electors; and ultimately, cause the ascertainment of and voting by illegitimate electors in favor of the Defendant.

b. The Defendant and co-conspirators organized fraudulent slates of electors in seven targeted states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin), attempting to mimic the procedures that the legitimate electors were supposed to follow under the Constitution and other federal and state laws. This included causing the fraudulent electors to meet on the day appointed by federal law on which legitimate electors were to gather and cast their votes; cast fraudulent votes for the Defendant; and sign certificates falsely representing that they were legitimate electors. Some fraudulent electors were tricked into participating based on the understanding that their votes would be used only if the Defendant succeeded in outcome-determinative lawsuits within their state, which the Defendant never did. The Defendant and co-conspirators then caused these fraudulent electors to transmit their false certificates to Vice President and other government officials to be counted at the certification proceeding on January 6.

@ElwoodBlues there was only speculation and Biden told them they were a threat to democracy and said Trump should be arrested and weaponized the government

ElwoodBlues · M

@specman If by "speculation" you mean probable cause according to a grand jury and judicial warrant based on physical evidence & testimony, then maybe you're right. That's how the law works.

It's cute when you try to re-define evidence and probable cause as speculation, but then you are the spec man!!

and Biden told them

Hang on a sec, are you talking about Biden the evil mastermind or Biden the demented unable to form a sentence? I get confused when you swap Bidens in the middle of a thought. Please get your Biden versions straight.

@ElwoodBlues excuse me- Biden’s keepers.

Smith had judicial permission to investigate tRump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. All tRump has is more efforts to distract from Epstein files🤣😂

Meanwhile, Senator Whitehouse grilled Pam Bondi on Epstein and Trump: “There has been public reporting that Epstein showed people photos of Trump with half naked young women. Do you know if FBI found those photographs in their search of Epstein safe. Have you seen any such thing.”

it's a yes/no question, but Bondi only responds with whataboutism & accusations. At least she knows not to lie under oath!!

@ElwoodBlues LOL, and it has been publicy reported that biden is as sharp as a tack, in fact the bestest biden ever!

ElwoodBlues · M

@sunsporter1649 Is that deflection or whataboutism??

GoDodgers ·

The reason Smith got their phone records is because he was investigating Trumps attempt to overturn the 2020 election. The investigation was done from a grand jury investigation.
Those investigated were all in states where they tried to put in fake electors.

ElwoodBlues · M

@GoDodgers Yep. We know several weeks of effort, masterminded by Kenneth Chesebro, went into recruiting seven slates of false electors; many with false (forged) paperwork; all of which Trump was kept involved with. That coup d'état failed because Mike Pence had the VP duties researched and realized he couldn't play ball.

Here's the way Jack Smith wrote it up in his indictment:

b. The Defendant and co-conspirators organized fraudulent slates of electors in seven targeted states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin), attempting to mimic the procedures that the legitimate electors were supposed to follow under the Constitution and other federal and state laws.
