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

Startling revelations emerged this week regarding Operation Arctic Frost, the Biden-era Justice Department’s weaponization campaign against Republicans, which was based on the no-criminal plea of ​​objecting to the presidential election.

Democrats made similar objections in 1969, 2001, 2005 and, most famously, in 2017 when they cited the discredited Steele dossier to try to overturn President Trump’s victory.

However, none of them faced charges. Objection to electors is protected by the First Amendment and the Voter Counting Act of 1887. It was entirely reasonable for members of Congress—who control the certification of election results—to make inquiries about the integrity of the election. 2020 elections.

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

Thanks to the excellent leadership of the FBI Director Cash Battle Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, a watch dog for more than half a century, were able to give a powerful presentation to the media detailing the horrific abuse of power by the Biden administration. For no good reason, Jack Smith and his followers sought the phone records of nine senators, all Republicans.

More disturbingly, Smith subpoenaed AT&T to contact the senator’s office. Ted Cruz From Texas. AT&T declined to do so on the advice of a lawyer but was unable to disclose Smith’s request, thanks to an order from Obama’s far-right D.C. judge, James Bosberg. Boasberg implausibly asserted that disclosure could lead to the destruction of evidence and intimidation of witnesses. As Michael Fragoso, the Senate’s former chief counsel, noted, Boasberg’s secret snooping likely violated a clear federal law that requires disclosure to the Senate when spying on a senator.

Boasberg deserved to be held accountable even before this revelation based on his highly irresponsible order to divert planes full of Tren de Aragua terrorists as they flew over the ocean, illegally exposing an ongoing military operation and endangering the lives of Americans and their allies. The house needs this more than ever Dismiss this apostate judge.

People are understandably angry about Democrats using law enforcement as a weapon, and many are upset that in their view not enough has been done. This sentiment ignores the reality of our legal system. Earlier this month, Miami United States Attorney Jason Redding Quiñones sought and received permission to seat 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 notice to respond to subpoenas.

Anyone who has received a summons for jury duty understands this process. We hope the grand jury will investigate the unprecedented Mar-a-Lago raid As part of a broader investigation into a conspiracy against the rights of President Trump, his associates, and allies under 18 USC § 241.

Criminal charges also take a long time because defendants can delay the process. Former FBI Director James Comey For example, New York Attorney General Letitia James moved to dismiss charges against them on the grounds of retaliatory prosecution. They also claim that Lindsey Halligan, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, is serving under a constitutionally invalid appointment. If the left-wing judge rules in their favor, the government will appeal, but this takes a long time, especially if the case reaches the Supreme Court.

Jack Smith tried to push President Trump’s criminal case in D.C. to trial, trying to bypass the D.C. circuit while appealing the presidential immunity case. The Supreme Court rightly rejected Smith’s politically motivated efforts, and Smith’s blatant attempt at impulsivity provided plenty of alibi for his critics. As one federal judge wisely summed up the proper course of action in criminal cases, it is better to do it right than to do it twice.

Patel and Bongino are not sitting on the sidelines while the criminal process unfolds under the brilliant leadership of the District Attorney Pam Bondi and Deputy District Attorney Todd Blanche.

More than a dozen gang leaders and more than five case agents involved in the crime Frost conditions in the Arctic They have been expelled so far. Many of these agents, like Walter Giardina, are suing for termination. These suits will take some time to finish, as will more shooting.

Patel and Bongino did much more than investigate weaponization. Congress was demanding documents related to the shooting that nearly killed the House Majority Leader Steve Scalise And more than a dozen other lawmakers were murdered by an unhinged Bernie Sanders supporter nearly a decade ago. Shortly after taking office, Patel and Bongino handed over the documents.

The FBI has also been at the forefront of drug seizures, removing enough fentanyl from the streets to kill 127 million innocent Americans. The government also confiscated more than 190,000 kilograms of cocaine and more than 8,000 kilograms of methamphetamine. Additionally, the Trump administration has taken more than 6,000 illegal guns off our streets. Violent crime arrests have increased by 100%, and gang arrests have increased by more than 200%. Arrests of child predators rose by 10%, and human trafficking arrests rose by 15%. Four of the ten wanted by the FBI were arrested; No capture occurred in 2024.

Justice is coming for those responsible for lawfare; Bundy, Blanche, Battle and Bongino work hard to make this happen. And they were targets The weaponry they are investigating; They have no reason to delay exposing it and holding its engineers accountable. Patience is a virtue, and the coming justice for individuals who engaged in lawfare to end the Republic will certainly be worth the wait. We will make sure of that.
