Newly Discovered Records Suggest Fake Special Counsel Jack Smith Broke the Law in Wiretapping Biden's Political Opponents, Including Bugging Trump Associates' Lawyers

Absolute criminal.

Lock. Him. Up.

Fishing expedition: Docs expose expansive FBI surveillance of Trump allies, possible illegality

Newly-disclosed records show that the FBI twice subpoenaed future Director Kash Patel's personal data while he was a private citizen in a probe that swept up hundreds of Trump allies, including then-future Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.


Newly released records in the Senate investigation into the weaponization of government raise questions about whether the FBI went on a fishing expedition targeting Trump advisors who were never charged with crimes and whether Special Counsel Jack Smith's prior testimony to Congress was truthful.

The documents were made public by Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, before a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing into alleged abuses by the Biden-era FBI and Justice Department in their investigations into then ex-president Donald Trump before and during the 2024 presidential election during its probe code-named "Arctic Frost." Just the News previously reported that Biden's FBI paid anti-Trump 'Sedition Hunters' as informants in the Arctic Frost probes.

"If Watergate taught us anything, it is that even a single abuse of power carried out by a handful of individuals can shake the foundations of our Republic," said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., Chairman of the Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights.

"What we confront today, the Biden administration's Arctic Frost scheme, is not a single act," he continued in his opening remarks. "​​It is a modern Watergate trading a break-in at one office for a digital sweep into approximately 100,000 private communications, more than a dozen senators and 1000s of individuals lives."

Cruz said that ultimately, "just like Watergate," the judges, FBI and Justice Department officials involved should be "investigated, tried, impeached, and brought to justice."


...


The FBI's requests for information included demands for highly personal data of Patel's, including Patel's addresses ("mailing addresses, residential addresses, business addresses, and e-mail addresses"), a "call detail record" which lists inbound and outbound calls, text messages and voicemail messages, as well as sources of payment for the phone service, including credit card and bank account numbers. The FBI also demanded expansive internet session data including exact IP addresses, the document shows.

The FBI also sought--and was granted--non-disclosure orders (NDOs) from federal judges, shielding the existence of the subpoenas from Patel and his lawyers on the grounds that revealing them could result in his "flight from prosecution, destruction of or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses and serious jeopardy to the investigation."

Susie Wiles, Donald Trump's then campaign manager and future chief of staff, was also targeted in the probe. The Biden-era FBI reportedly even went so far as to record a private phone call between Wiles and her lawyer in 2023 while she was actively managing the campaign of President Joe Biden's chief political rival, according to Reuters.

The FBI reportedly maintains that the recording was justified on the pretense that her defense lawyer had consented to the recording. However, Wiles' lawyer issued a statement adamantly denying he ever consented to such monitoring, raising the possibility false representations were made to a court for phone monitoring and the now infamous stage-managed raid on Mar-a-Lago.

"If I ever pulled a stunt like that, I wouldn't -- and shouldn't -- have a license to practice law," an unidentified lawyer told Axios. "I'm as shocked as Susie."

...

Sen. Grassley also raised questions about Special Counsel Smith's prior testimony and claims about his investigation, indicating the possibility that he misled Congress. It has not been determined if Patel, Grassley, or anyone else has made a referral to the Department of Justice for criminal action.

@HansMahncke

The subpoena released this morning by Chuck Grassley in connection with the fraudulent Arctic Frost investigation is absolutely staggering. It didn't just ask for Kash Patel's phone records, it asked for everything he did from 2020 to 2023.

Just to name a few, they requested all usernames and screen names, every address and email, complete billing and payment details including credit card and bank account numbers, every device ID, and a full log of every call, text, and voicemail showing who was contacted, when, and for how long. They also obtained all internet session data, including the exact IP addresses.

So this wasn't just about who Kash called. It was basically a complete view of his entire life, mapping his daily routines, travel, relationships, finances, and even tracking the specific hardware he used. In short, they got a full digital shadow of his life.

To have come through all of this without so much as a scratch tells you just how clean he is.

NEW: The FBI has found 1.9 million pages of missing records in a secret "hidden room" at headquarters that was maintained by former directors James Comey and Chris Wray, according to a Judicial Watch FOIA. The Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) contains several safes holding the docs, including ones generated from Special Counsel Mueller's investigation.

sorry to barge in and go OT so quickly:

From the sidebar -

"Tolkien Reading Day," because March 25th is the day when the Ring is destroyed in the book.

Tolkien was an observant Catholic. He chose this date because it is the feast of the Annunciation on the Catholic calendar.

So yes, the day that the Savior was made manifest on the earth plane would be the day the Ring is destroyed.

Enough of the Watergate crap, probably 75+ % of the population have no idea what that was, much less the truth about it.

Which is exactly why it's good messaging to compare Democrat scandals to it. The public has been taught that Watergate was the worst thing since Hitler, and the Dems either have to play along or explain that Watergate was actually a bullshit nothingburger that they used to take down a Republican President.

180 Correctly, she tells him that he's the reason the Republicans will lose in the midterms. It's shocking to realize, but they want to lose, for a host of reasons. They want to hobble President Trump. They want to be out of power because their pathetic lives really won't change much, save for the few that will be losing their seats. They're traitors to the base, they're traitors to upholding the civil society we pretend to still live under, they're traitors to the Constitution, they're traitors to their sworn duties as representatives of the people. And they don't care.

It did work, as the bespoke software through which those FBI files are normally viewed had been programmed to not even show the existence of files marked like that, except to a few specific individuals. It wouldn't even show a stub for FOIA searches, the way restricted-access files were normally handled. Current FBI leadership only learned of the existence of that scheme by someone mentioning it, IIRC in a Congressional oversight interview, and then I assume they needed an IT guy to either modify the software or bypass it.

Down to how the other prisoners paraded him around the prison yard triumphantly and howled in celebration when he let out a Nazi salute.

The senate has always been the drag on our republic and the place where liberty and constitutional order go to die.

The phrase "saucer that cools the tea" refers to a metaphor used by George Washington, comparing the U.S. Senate to a saucer that cools hot tea, suggesting that the Senate serves to temper the passions of the House of Representatives. This metaphor highlights the Senate's role in providing a more deliberate and measured approach to legislation.

Democrats have been openly calling their own voters idiots for years.

Way back when Obama was laughing at the idea of anyone believing in shovel-ready jobs...which only Democrats believed.

Democrats were losing voters measurably every presidential cycle since 2008 until...2020 saw a weird, unexplainable, and one-time massive increase in voting.

He is the one the Dems always run to when they want to stop Trump from getting anything done. And he always sides with the Dems, always. The Dems use lawfare to stop Trump's agenda and they do it with a crooked judge. Hell, a six year old can see what's going on with that judge.

I have read a lot of Poe, and that is one of my least favorites. It is his attempt at "gothic" in the style of Melmoth the Wanderer, and it just doesn't work.

The tragedy is that Ace said he wanted to read some Poe, and picked that one. We never got through it because it sucks. I wish I knew beforehand as I would have recommended about a dozen other short stores that are much better.

I've been thinking for a long time that if there were a true forensic audit of voting - more specifically, vote counting - we would come to realize that deep blue states were actually red. I base this on nothing more than a common sense realization that when one party has iron-clad control of the counting process, it should come as no surprise that that party continuously wins. Not even a variation but a clear example of Stalin's dictum in play.


It's a shame we don't have an institution - like The Press - that makes this one of their investigative goals. And conspiracy minded as I am wont to be, I suspect that they would stampede each other to death doing this investigation if it were Republicans in control of the vote counting process.
