Jack Smith Obtained the Emails of Hundreds of Republicans and Conservative-Leaning Journalists; Claims He Had to Subpoena the Entire Conservative Movement to Decide If Everyone Should Be Indicted for January 6th

As Julie Kelly and others point out: There is no crime of "blocking the peaceful transfer of power," but this expansive and legally undefined mission justifies, Jack Smith says, subpoenaeing the checks made out to Republican office-holders and mass-spying on conservative media.

Special Counsel Jack Smith's sweeping investigation into President Donald Trump included the financial data of everyday supporters across 50 states who gave as little as $1 to the president and allied groups, new documents reveal.

Smith's team obtained at least 4,782 checks from everyday Americans making mainly small-dollar donations. Smith's sweep -- though ostensibly focused on the events of Jan. 6, 2020 -- hoovered up checks from September 2019 to August 2023.
The video player is currently playing an ad.

The Biden administration wielded the country's most powerful law enforcement tools to spy on Republicans with little concern for whether it violated the Constitution, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley said.

Grassley released the documents as part of an ongoing probe into the investigation the FBI codenamed "Arctic Frost" that formally began in April 2022 into a 2020 fake elector scheme. Arctic Frost and two other FBI investigations -- one relating to January 6 codenamed "Project Coconut" and one related to Mar-a-Lago documents codenamed "Project Cranberry" -- mired Trump's return to the White House and ensnared hundreds of conservative individuals and entities.

Smith testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday, where Grassley pressed Smith on the apparent overreach.

"Did you obtain possession of donor data, to include financial information, yes or no?" he asked.

After a pause, Smith said, "our investigation was focused on investigating matters under my mandate including whether any person or entity violated the law with attempts to block the peaceful transfers of power."

"Let me ask the question again. Did your special counsel operation obtain possession of donor data, to include financial information, yes or no?" Grassley pressed.

"Yes we acquired financial information. As I sit here right now I cannot recite to you every subpoena we issued. I can tell you why we issued subpoenas," Smith said. "It was to conduct a criminal investigation into one of the most serious crimes in our nation's history. I had a duty to collect facts."

"You answered yes ... The list includes checks from constituents in every state of every single member of this committee, both Republicans and Democrats," Grassley replied. "Every member on this committee ought to be outraged for what happened to their constituents. Which one of my Democratic colleagues will join me in that outrage?"

Smith did not include any reference to this data in his public report, Grassley pointed out.

He also pawed through the emails of hundreds of journalists.

By the way, he seems to have used as his predicate for the subpoena the partisan head of the National Archives, who shrieked that Trump wouldn't give back his documents.

People are pointing out that the National Archives does not have the power to initiate a criminal investigation. It's not like a referral from Congress. It's just a partisan bureaucrat demanding that Trump Respecc My Authoritah.

Previous congressional disclosures showed investigators obtained records involving members of Congress. The latest records reveal the production also included communications between government officials and journalists working for some of the country's largest news organizations.

The communications appeared in records produced by the National Archives in response to a subpoena seeking material associated with 87 White House phones from Trump's first administration, according to a spokesperson for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, citing whistleblower disclosures made to the chairman.

"What will the partisan media say about this disgraceful government overreach? This wasn't a normal prosecution by any means," Grassley challenged in comments to Fox News Digital on Tuesday, as critics have highlighted the lack of concern or coverage given to Smith's probe by legacy media.

One organization identified Tuesday as having been swept up in the probe was the Media Research Center. Its president, David Bozell, announced in 2025 that "not one single broadcast network aired one solitary second" about Smith's alleged spying on conservative organizations and senators following a tranche of public disclosures.

Fox News is among the organizations whose journalists appear in the records, along with CNN, CBS News -- including its newsmagazine "60 Minutes" -- NBC News and CNBC.

The records also include communications involving journalists from the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Bloomberg, Los Angeles Times, New York Magazine, Reuters, the Associated Press and NPR, as well as The Federalist and Washington Times.

GOP Senators say he's a partisan hatchet-man.

He says no, I'm just a straight-shooter who begged Merrick Garland to let me prosecute Trump.

He denies that last part -- or rather, he "cannot recall" asking Merrick Garland for the job of Biden's Lawfare Attack Dog.

Former special counsel Jack Smith's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday laid bare lingering divides over President Donald Trump's efforts to challenge the 2020 presidential election and the Biden administration's investigation of him.

...

To be sure, Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, made a handful of revelations, including about Smith's securing of communications between the media and government sources. He also highlighted Smith's subpoena of roughly 5,000 checks from small-donor contributors to Republicans.

...

After the hearing, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., told the "John Solomon Reports" podcast that she believed Smith's investigation was politically motivated, calling it a "witch hunt."

"It wasn't about law and order. It was about political retribution and making people pay, making them suffer, building this file, and it is going to be imperative that Jack Smith be held to account for what he did, because we never ever want this to happen to another American," she said.

During the hearing, Grassley pointed to Smith's investigative activities and pressed him on the basis for securing certain information.

"[Y]ou obtained at least 4,782 donor checks. Many of those checks were $5 to $10," Grassley said. "The list includes checks from constituents in every state of every single member of this committee, both Republicans and Democrats. It included 42 checks from Iowans who dared to donate money to Republicans. No matter what you say, there is no legitimate basis for what you did."

...

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., often known for his boisterous and folksy commentary in Senate hearings, pointedly told Smith that "[y]ou make me want to throw up in my mouth" after Smith insisted he acted in a non-partisan manner.

Kennedy's line of questioning had addressed the role of Attorney General Merrick Garland in the probe.

...

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, primarily dealt with Smith's appointment and reasons for ending the case. He specifically highlighted the concerns about partisanship that stemmed from the Biden administration investigating an active political opponent.

"Are you aware of whether this has ever happened before in the 250-year history of the United States of America, where an incumbent president, attorney general, appoints a special counsel to investigate his or her political opponent. Has that ever happened before?" he asked.

Smith could not identify a comparable instance.

...

Despite that claim to follow DOJ policy, yesterday Just the News reported that Smith -- contrary to DOJ policy -- kept evidence on Trump after the cases were shut down. Normally, DOJ rules require the disposal or return of seized evidence once a criminal case is closed or dismissed, provided the evidence is no longer needed for official purposes.

Early in the afternoon, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., took the most aggressive line of questioning, pressing Smith on his decision to pursue lawmakers' phone records. But he also outright accused Smith of waging a political investigation intended to stop Trump from returning to the White House.

"Mr. Smith, I have to start by saying I think that maybe I underestimated you. I underestimated, in particular, your comedic talent," Hawley said. "I've been watching this whole hearing. I've watched everything you said. I noticed that you began by saying, 'I have no partisan loyalty,' and you repeated over and over and over, there's nothing in your investigation about politics. That's hilarious."

Echoing the Republicans' party line, Hawley said "In fact, your investigation was all about politics from day one. Your investigation, so-called, your prosecution, so-called, was nothing other than an attempt to interfere politically in a presidential election in the United States of America."

Julie Kelly claims that Jack Smith was actually considering indicting the entirety of the conservative movement:

As I have said repeatedly--and Jack Smith confirmed here--Arctic Frost would have made the Jan 6 investigation look like a cakewalk.

Smith was preparing to indict hundreds of GOP lawmakers, WH officials, MAGA-associated groups, influencers, and the president himself (again)--and perhaps even media organizations--under Arctic Frost.

There is no federal crime related to "blocking the peaceful transfer of power"--which by the way, Jack Smith, happens on January 20, not January 6.

But Smith and his team undoubtedly were collecting evidence to bring more conspiracy and obstruction charges against these individuals and groups.

But by the end of 2023, Smith ran up against two potential SCOTUS roadblocks: the presidential immunity question out of the J6 case in Washington AND the Fischer decision related to the lawful use of the 1512(c)2 obstruction statute in Jan 6 cases.

The latter decision, issued in June 2024, handed a blow to Smith's effort to criminalize free speech and political activity. SCOTUS held that the post-Enron corporate fraud statute required some evidence of document tampering/destruction. That's not, however, how the Biden DOJ applied the statute in 300+ cases--so those charges/convictions were systematically tossed.

So, Smith essentially lost the ability to use 1512--which represented 2 of 4 counts in his J6 indictment against Trump and would not have survived a Fischer-like challenge before SCOTUS again--in potential Arctic Frost prosecutions.

Even though Smith probably believed the "fake electors" certificates would have met the documents threshold. (Doubtful)

But he likely planned to use the conspiracy against rights charge he brought against Trump to these targets.

Kelly rejects the idea that Smith was invading conservatives' emails and financial records to "spy on" them.

No, she says: He was gathering evidence for a mass-indictment.

Lawmakers and WH officials and journalists were not being "spied on" or even considered potential witnesses.

They were under investigation by this scumbag, his henchmen in special counsel office, and his puppet masters in the Biden DOJ and White House.

Don't lose sight of this--and what the country avoided with Trump's win in 2024.

This may be the most uncomfortable moment in the entire Jack Smith hearing.

It's when Sen. Kennedy confronted him about an accusation that Smith had actually asked Garland for the job of Special Counsel.

Hoo boy. Watch Smith squirm as he tries to answer the question.

KENNEDY: You asked General Garland to appoint you special counsel, didn't you?

SMITH (looks down and scribbles): I don't think that's accurate. He made the decision to appoint me.

KENNEDY: In fact, you had people call General Garland to lobby him to appoint you, didn't you?

SMITH (looks down and scribbles some more): I don't recall anything like that.

KENNEDY: You really wanted to be special counsel, didn't you?

SMITH: I accepted the position as special counsel because I had spent 30 years as a nonpartisan prosecutor. I had investigated every sort of criminal case you could possibly imagine, and I thought I was qualified to do the job.

I knew that I would do it independently, and I would conduct it the same way whether it were Republican or a Democrat.

if Smith wanted to be Special Counsel and had lobbied for that position, it throws all of his partisan activities in a whole new light.

As it stands, this looks horrible.

Notice he keeps avoiding answering the question. Or rather, his only answer is "I don't recall."

23 Since we are hating on the media - with good reason - and all these stories show how they still lie with impunity. the media narrative of this is going to be a disaster for the GOP this fall is not living up to reality, and even the AP went so far as to say watch out for NH. Early mail in balloting shows no huge swell for the populations the democrats need to make huge gains. More and more stories are showing that the economy - over which everyone says is a huge issue - is actually moving into a significant growth phase with investment and employment gaining ground and inflation holding steady or dropping slightly. Heck, MMS types are already running stories about how the good economic news is really not supported if you do a bunch of handstands and cartwheels with the data.The dems realize any real gap is closing, is there enough time for the GOP to actually take advantage of it.

24 Getting Trump was the key domino to their whole coup.

The plan was:
- Trump in jail, permanent gag order (keep him from further conspiring with his confederates, of course), freeze and seize all his assets
- Trump family in jail (maybe spare Melania and Baron)
- Arrest and disqualify from ballot every Republican in more than enough seats to give them a super majority in the House and Senate. Those who denounce Trump would go free--after the election.
- stack the SCOTUS with at least 5 more Jumanji Browns.

This was serious enough and important enough they attempted to assassinate Trump to keep it going.

They meant to end the US.
And give themselves permanent, unchallengeable power.
They have not given up on that.
Which plan will be back in play by taking Congress this year.

So yeah, don't vote in November because the Republican in Congress haven't done enough and we need to "teach them a lesson."

We've only got a month, but I would not be surprised if we see gas prices start dropping precipitously starting next week.

I expect Trump has been working with November in mind. Maybe he knew he had this small window to end (or at least seriously degrade) the Iranian threat, so he took it.

But I have to think he didn't just give up on the mid-terms. He knows gas prices are a BIG deal.

Gas prices were down significantly when Obama ran in 2012 then they were in 2008 before he was President, so not sure where youre getting that from.

Obama had zero to do with that, fracking did and the economy still being soft, but gas prices were a very big issue in 2008 campaign when they had hit an all time high. It was a non issue in 2012.

Eh.

I think the idea of affordability being an issue this election is really about the problems with polling in general.

Hyper-engaged liberals are answering polls at heightened levels that overinflate their preferences.

They've latched onto affordability as an issue, so polling, the same polling that said that Wang was going to win by 20 in the Wisconsin Democrat primary when she lost by 0.5%, shows it as a major, top issue (30%, usually).

Plus, you know, online narratives aren't real life.

He's way way way beyond being a hatchet man. Smith is an actual, dyed in the wool true believer. The very fact that he secured emails from media, and then followed up by stating that it was to find complicity with the J-6r's shows a fishing expedition that wasn't meant to find anything. It was meant to intimidate. Finding something he could twist into a career ending "revelation" would have been a bonus as far as Smith's concerned.

BTW...I think all this shit he secured on congressmen and women should already be available publicly fight corruption. I think congress should have open finances, and inner office communication should be the property of the people. So, I really don't give a shit that he got phone records and finances on them. They are public officials representing a constituency. And, the constituency has a right to know right down to the inside baseball.

137 Yeah, some megalomaniacal fuckstain acting under the color of the law aspires to imprison hundreds to thousands of his political opponents and the GOP responds with a hearing where they offered some pithy remarks and stern rebukes.

LOL, someone punch me in the Johnson to wake me up when our feckless do-nothing slate of clown shoe faggots actually start doing something that fucking matters.

If I never hear one more folksy cornball jibe from that useless cumsock it will be too soon.

Paul Krugman tells me that this is the cost of avoiding liquidity traps, which would otherwise destroy the world.

144 So yeah, don't vote in November because the Republican in Congress haven't done enough and we need to "teach them a lesson."

So yeah, vote for the Rinos! Watch how they completely...do not change their behavior. And so the party continues its decades-long collapse into corruption, mediocrity, and pandering. All for the sake of ensuring that dirtbags like Collins and Murkowski (and my local loser Gabe Evans) retain their seats.

The same ones who pant how this is an existential threat to the republic that they then address with stern letters and hearings? The GOP is gonna have to start giving a shit if they expect me to.

Many in the GOP only care for how much fundraising cash they can get from the rubes. The worse things are in Congress for them, the better the fundraising.

All I can vote for is Abbott, Paxton and Randy Weber. Which I intend to do. I got no influence over the squishes in other states.

In the entire history of Congressional Investigations, including Tea Pot Dome, Watergate, Enron and targeted Contempt charges applied to Friends of Trump, there have been only around 180 convictions.

151 Gas was high in real dollars under Obama in 2012. Dude still won re-election.

The unemployment rate was 7.9% in October of 2012. No President had ever, ever, been reelected with the UE above 6.

The 2012 election was stolen IMO.

153 Gas prices were down significantly when Obama ran in 2012 then they were in 2008 before he was President, so not sure where youre getting that from.

Obama had zero to do with that, fracking did and the economy still being soft, but gas prices were a very big issue in 2008 campaign when they had hit an all time high. It was a non issue in 2012.

On July 7, 2008, I paid 3.85 here in my part of NJ. On Dec 31, 2008, it was 1.41. Been keeping an Excel data base for gasoline since 20065.

157 I find myself not particularly caring if the asshole goes to jail. What I want is to see him charged in eight different jurisdictions and bled dry of every cent he's ever made or hopes to make. When the lefty moneybag types come out to support him, we'll have a list of enemies that Nixon would envy.

Not to say that jail time wouldn't be icing on the cake.
