Jack Smith tried to tap Ted Cruz’s office phone, but AT&T refused

This week, startling revelations emerged about Operation Arctic Frost, Biden’s Justice Department’s weaponization campaign against Republicans based on the fact that it is not a crime to object to presidential elections.

Democrats raised similar objections in 1969, 2001, 2005 and, most infamously, in 2017 when they cited the discredited Steele Dossier in an attempt to overturn President Trump’s victory. Yet no one was charged. Voter objections are protected by the First Amendment and the Electoral Count Act of 1887. It was eminently reasonable for members of Congress — the arbiters of whether to approve election results — to inquire about the fairness of the 2020 election.

There is no evidence that Arctic Frost targets participated in crimes that occurred during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. Yet Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, former FBI Director Christopher Wray and Special Counsel Jack Smith went on a fishing expedition targeting President Trump, his aides, the Republican Attorneys General Association, members of both houses of Congress and many other Trump allies.

Thanks to the outstanding leadership of FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley — an oversight bulldog for more than half a century — was able to deliver a powerful presentation to the media detailing the Biden administration’s horrific abuse of power. For no valid reason, Jack Smith and his accomplices searched for the phone records of nine senators, all Republicans.

Even more alarming, Smith subpoenaed AT&T to tap Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s phone line. AT&T declined to do so on the advice of counsel, but was prevented from making Smith’s astonishing request public thanks to an order from radical DC Obama judge James Boasberg. Boasberg ludicrously claimed that disclosure could lead to destruction of evidence and intimidation of witnesses. As former top Senate counsel Michael Fragoso noted, Boasberg’s secret snooping likely violated a clear federal statute requiring disclosure to the Senate when spying on a senator.

Boasberg earned impeachment even before this revelation based on his deeply irresponsible order to turn planes full of Tren the Aragua terrorists around as they flew over the ocean, lawlessly exposing an ongoing military operation and endangering American and allied lives. The House of Representatives must impeach this renegade judge more than ever.

REPUBLICANS CLAIM ‘ENEMIES LIST’ FROM BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, DISCOVERED FROM ARCTIC FROST INVESTIGATION

Understandably, people are outraged by Democrats’ weaponization of law enforcement, and many are angry that they believe not enough is being done. This sentiment ignores the reality of our legal system. Earlier this month, Miami U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones requested and received permission to impanel two new grand juries in January, including in Fort Pierce, Florida. It takes several months to prepare for a grand jury because potential grand jurors need sufficient time to respond to the subpoena. Anyone who has received a summons for jury duty understands this process. Hopefully, this grand jury will investigate the unprecedented raid on Mar-a-Lago as part of a broader investigation into a conspiracy against the rights of President Trump, his aides, and his allies under 18 USC § 241.

Criminal prosecution is also time-consuming because suspects can delay the process. Former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Leticia James, for example, have moved to dismiss their charges on the grounds of vindictive prosecution. They also allege that Lindsey Halligan, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, is in office under a constitutionally invalid appointment. If the left-wing court rules in their favor, the government will appeal, but this is time-consuming, especially if the case goes to the Supreme Court. Jack Smith attempted to bring President Trump’s DC criminal case to trial as quickly as possible, in an effort to bypass the DC Circuit during the appeal on the issue of presidential immunity. The Supreme Court rightly rejected Smith’s politically motivated efforts, and Smith’s blatant attempt to rush gave his critics ample ammunition. As one federal judge wisely summarized the right thing to do in criminal cases, it’s better to do it right than to do it twice.

Patel and Bongino are not sitting on the sidelines as the criminal trial plays out under the excellent leadership of Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. So far, more than ten leaders and more than five officers involved in the Arctic Frost case have been fired. Many of these officers, like Walter Giardina, are suing for their firing. These suits take a while to play out, as do more shots.

Patel and Bongino have done much more than just research into armaments. Congress had demanded documents about the shooting that nearly killed House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and more than a dozen other lawmakers by a deranged Bernie Sanders supporter nearly a decade ago. Shortly after taking office, Patel and Bongino submitted the documents. The FBI has also been at the forefront of drug busts, taking enough fentanyl off the streets to kill 127 million innocent Americans. The government also seized more than 190,000 kilos of cocaine and more than 8,000 kilos of methamphetamine. Additionally, the Trump administration has removed more than 6,000 illegal guns from our streets. Violent crime arrests are up 100% and gang arrests are up more than 200%. Arrests of child predators increased by 10% and arrests for human trafficking increased by 15%. Four of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted have been captured; no catches occurred in 2024.

There will be justice for those responsible for the rule of law; Bondi, Blanche, Patel and Bongino are working hard to make this happen. They were the target of the weaponry they are investigating; they have no reason to drag their feet in exposing it and holding its architects to account. Patience is a virtue, and the coming justice for the individuals who engaged in ending the republic will be well worth the wait. We will take care of it.
