Congressional Republicans just blew the lid off one of the biggest scandals in presidential history, and the liberal media has been virtually silent on it.
In recent weeks, newly unveiled internal FBI documents have detailed a vast conspiracy by the Biden administration to target and harass President Donald Trump and his top supporters under the pretext of investigating the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. Under the codename “Arctic Frost,” the FBI investigated more than 400 individuals and groups.
The documents show that in just one month, June 2022, investigators requested almost $17,000 in travel expenses to conduct more than 40 interviews. The full scale and scope of the investigation was previously unknown.
Astonishingly, in some cases Special Counsel Jack Smith, who led Arctic Frost, issued subpoenas to organizations that did not even exist when the Capitol riot took place, such as America First Legal. The whole thing reeks of a partisan operation designed to use government power to attack conservative thought leaders and institutions.
But perhaps the most shocking revelation is that the Biden FBI spied on at least eight sitting U.S. Senators and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives by obtaining their phone records. The senators targeted were Lindsey Graham (SC), Bill Hagerty (TN), Josh Hawley (MO), Dan Sullivan (AK), Tommy Tuberville (AL), Ron Johnson (WI), Cynthia Lummis (WY), and Marsha Blackburn (TN). Rep. Mike Kelly (PA) was also caught up in the spying operation.
Notably, Congress only obtained access to the internal FBI documents thanks to a whistleblower who provided them to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson – indicating that the FBI fully intended to hide the fact that it was spying on elected members of Congress for blatantly political purposes. Top members of the Biden administration signed off on the scheme, including Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
The scandal got even deeper late last month when we learned that the Biden Department of Justice also subpoenaed the records of Texas Senator Ted Cruz, whose phone carrier, AT&T, refused to hand over the data. But one District Judge James Boasberg then issued a gag order on AT&T, ordering the company to not tell Cruz that federal agents were seeking his records.
It turns out that Boasberg signed off on all the subpoenas to target the phone records of Republican members of Congress. As many readers will well remember, Boasberg is the same judge who ordered the Trump administration to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a suspected MS-13 gang member, to the United States after the corporate media sympathetically portrayed the criminal illegal alien as a “Maryland father.”
Boasberg has displayed a consistent pattern of anti-Trump animus in his rulings, including repeatedly attempting to block deportation flights. An appeals court rebuked Boasberg back in August when he outrageously attempted to hold Trump administration officials in contempt of court for not turning around a plane full of criminal illegal aliens bound for El Salvador.
The fallout from the whole scandal is just beginning. Texas Republican Rep. Brandon Gill has since introduced articles of impeachment against Boasberg. The government funding bill which just passed also contains a provision granting senators targeted by Arctic Frost a right to take legal action against the government. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) is demanding an explanation from Verizon for why it complied with the Biden administration’s request to hand over phone records. Former Rep. Devin Nunes, who chairs Trump’s Intelligence Advisory Board, wants to know why JP Morgan used Arctic Frost as an excuse to debank conservative organizations.
But there’s another scandal brewing as well – the media’s steadfast refusal to cover any of this.
As Cruz correctly noted, the government abuses of power that took place during the Arctic Frost investigation make Watergate look like child’s play by comparison. Top Biden administration officials conspired with Democrat-appointed judges to spy on elected Republicans and harass everyday Americans for the crime of being conservative and having questions about the 2020 election. But the media has been mum on it.
As an opinion piece for the Las Vegas Review-Journal – one of the few papers willing to cover the story – noted, Arctic Frost is “the biggest scandal you’ve never heard of.” The paper astutely observes that had the roles been reversed and the Trump administration “used a flimsy pretense to subpoena the phone records of Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez… the outrage would be unending.”
It seems that Democrats and the liberal media are simply hoping that Americans don’t notice the egregious abuses of power that took place under the Biden administration. Like the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, the Russiagate hoax, and so many other examples of Democrat corruption, they are content to engage in censorship by omission.
We’ll see how long that strategy remains viable. Grassley and other Republican leaders have indicated that there could be more bombshells in the weeks ahead. It may be that Arctic Frost – already one of the most shocking presidential scandals in history – gets even bigger.
Shane Harris is the Editor in Chief of AMAC Newsline. You can follow him on X @shaneharris513.
It seems that all government branches, agencies etc have been infiltrated by leftists who hate America, making it nearly impossible to bring traitors to justice. No matter how many “bombshells” are exposed, they will most likely be duds. While justice may not win out in this life, The King of kings our Lord Jesus Christ will have the final say in the verdict. Come Lord Jesus!
The self-proclaimed “most transparent administration in history” was actually the most corrupt.
It would be wonderful to impeach Boasberg as he is a TRAITOR who has dumped on the Constitution. But there is NO way to get 67 Senate votes since the DIMMs are 100% complicit in ALL these scandals. Congress should grant immunity to some of the lower officials to nail Jack Smith, who was ILLEGALLY appointed in the first. Then work their way up to Merrick Garland and convict him. Biden could claim [truthfully now] mental incompetence but get some of those Obama leftovers!
Tired of hearing about discoveries of abuse and corruption. I want to see consequences.
His whole Admin is a scandal as his 50 years in service
And All of us who tried to warn about a corrupt ADMIN. are nothing but COSPIRACY THEROIST’S?
There isn’t a minute spec of honesty, integrity, or morality found in the Fake News media, it’s platforms, or personnel. They are a disgrace to America, an embarrassment to themselves, and the epitome of Satan’s finest lying and corrupt degenerates.
No surprise here. Again, MSM only reports on those items that they are directed to report on. No freedom of speech here. Will there be an investigation into these derelictions of the law — highly doubtful. The guilty will get away again. Not even a slap on the hand.
END THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR CORRUPT POLITICIANS AND BUREAUCRATS. WHAT CAN REAL AMERICAN CITIZENS AND TAXPAYERS DO? I THINK BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES ARE DENS OF SNAKES. I WANT TO SEE ALL THESE PEOPLE IN JAIL FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO OUR COUNTRY.
PERHAPS ANOTHER POLITICAL PLATFORM OF HONEST, PATRIOTIC AMERICANS NEEDS TO BE STARTED BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS ARE NOW OFFICIALLY COMMUNISTS AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE AFRAID TO PROSECUTE CORRUPTION.
Is anybody really surprised? The media is not reporting anything that is against the liberal Democrats. They can’t even claim to be news organizations. They are just an arm of the liberal Democrat party and as such need to have their broadcast licenses revoked by the FCC. And when they lose a judgment in court about something they did that was biased they don’t need a fine in the millions of dollars they need a fine in the billions of dollars. 16 million fine it’s just the cost of doing business. A 16 billion fine will put them out of business, as they should be
And like each time before little or nothing will be done just another waste of tax payer money for endless committees ECT if nothing ever gets done why waste time money and effort everybody with half a brain knows the curuption going on in DC
The demonrats are all criminals and NEED to be voted out of office the next major election.
I would hope that Ted Cruz with become a bulldog about following this disgraceful and disrespectful conduct of the media. We all know they are just as guilty and rotten to the core. Just wish that some of them would be FIRED for NOT DOING THEIR JOB AND FOR PREJUDICE.
Biden has had so many scandals, it now becomes “just another scandal, nothing to see here”. Remember when Obama at the end of his Presidency stated made it through his Presidency without a scandal? He was probably sweating it out that none of both of their scandals would come to light. Well folks, as Biden often says, “No hyperbole here, No kidding”. Ha! What a joke both of those two were! Most of those associated with those two needs to be in prison.
That is why I continue to post information like this on FB…the media has been bought and paid for by people not wanting the American citizens to know the truth….
I am not surprised that this has happened. It is too bad that it has taken so long to float the scum to the top and announce the findings. I have been saying all along that Obama and his admin was involved in setting all of the corrupt activities in motion. As a child of the 1960’s I can attest that those years were filled with corruption as well. This current government led by Trump,etal are some of the most diligent investigators. Makes me happy. It is too bad that Obama/Biden presidencies showed the world how ignorant these two administrations were…they presumed that their actions were divine and right for the American people. How wrong they were. LOCK THEM UP!!!!! MAGA MAGA MAGA USA USA USA FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
All of this had better result in long term convictions for prominent democrats and their federal government sycophants if even just a shred of trust, albeit only if it is backed up by rigorous enforced congressional oversight and regular independent audits, is ever to be restored. The days of government agents flashing badges and getting full cooperation and respect in America are irretrievably over. The “Patriot” Act and its collateral damage have verifiably shown us how unpatriotic and biased with a communist bend our federal government has truly become. Suspending the Constitution to preserve the Constitution is a concept birthed by an illogical, and self-deceived mind, much like G.W. Bush’s statement that to “preserve capitalism he would have to destroy capitalism” after the housing market crash. In a communists mind I guess though it all makes sense in their train of thought that to preserve the rights of the masses they have to abbreviate, eliminate, and run rough shod over the rights of the millions of individuals that make up the “masses”. If you don’t respect the individual, how much less respect you will have for the “masses” of individuals has been on renewed permanent display by socialists, from Adolf Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers Party, Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Communist Party, to Xi Jinping’s Chinese Communist Party in their respective genocides, and holocausts. Government of the people, for the people, by the people should never toss the Constitution during an emergency but insist that it be followed especially stringent in an emergency because it is the very circumstance its enemies seek to exploit when they say, “never let a good crisis go to waste.” Uphold, and defend doesn’t mean shred and toss in case of emergency.
Democrats have become despicable people and the corporate media corrupt arbiters of the truth. Media is nothing more than Progressive Leftist propagandist who undermine America and Americans. I for one do not want anything to do with these traitors to our country.
If American citizens joined forces, these individuals would be prosecuted.
Just a bunch of snakes!
This really no breaking news but again Mr. Harris is on top of this , thankfully because we wouldn’t hear of it! I think Jack Smith was the heard of Artic Frost as he demonized Trump.and almost any Republican he could come up.with. And the MSM? Why aren’t we silencing them for lack of “fair and balanced” reporting like in the “old” days? Trump derangedment probably in 2016? Whatever happened to the “rights” of free speech when Biden and his “Godless” crinies.arrested people who weren’t harming anyone by praying the Rosary in front of an abortion clinic? The “6ers who were mistreated both physically and emotionally as they’re prison terms were totally “ridiculous “. How the guards and ” so called judges” treated them, ruining lives for even those who did not themselves cause any property damage. Many of their lives were ruined because they chose to excessive their first rights!! Totally wron, shameful and just criminal what this administration and our woefully wrong judges. Yet phones were being investigated and so on. Guess in the eyes of the Libs, all was totally fine. But yet November 4th 78 million of us said “enough is enough” bur yet we’re confronted by “sore losers” and STILL the audacity of a just past government shutdown to prove just again how they hated losing on November 4th 2024. Time to stop crying and whining. YOU LOST! GET OVER IT NOW!! And stop the crap!
Biden and the Democratic Party, the media, most unions, the elitist, Hollywood Socialist, etc have all waged war on President Trump and the true American People for years though their lies and stealing our money, etc!!!! They all need to be stopped and put an end to their lies, stealing and corruption and destroying our country!!!!
Since AMAC is looking into the Biden Administration nefarious activities, which includes resistance to looking into the 2020 election, why don’t you do an investigation of the activities of an organization called, Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL), which had their fingers in the 2020 election. Look up their 990-tax return for 2020 if you want to see a smoking gun. Also, Mark Zuckerberg’s donations to CTCL. Zuckerberg and his wife donated $419 million to CTCL and another nonprofit, The center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR). Of that, $9 million went to 5 key Wisconsin counties as grants, with conditions. Zuckerberg was investigated by the Wisconsin legislature and found to have violated several election laws by giving money to the 5 counties to “facilitate” voting and illegally setting up drop boxes. CTCL was started by 3 former Democratic operatives, what could go wrong? In one Wisconsin county, they even embedded some of their staff in the election office to “help” with the election. This is all history, but as the philosopher, George Santayana said, “those who do not remember history, are doomed to repeat it”.
corrupt Democrats, how could such a thing be possible? Years of practice??
It’s time for the nuclear action! Pick the 5 most aggrecious traitors and after trial hang their sorry asses from a tree on greens across the country.
Great, but why do whistle blowers wait so long? Why does it take years to know the truth?
My own perception is that given the now obvious level of corruption beyond anything this country has experienced in its history, there is still a core of hardline “feel-ists” who have forsaken all semblance of fairness and morality to side with the Demorats. And that core represents the self-destructive component that has heretofore been hidden from common sight, and is an unmanageable element impervious to reason.
Joe Biden didn’t just emulate the mob, he took his illegal activities way past what any mob boss could do. Using the U.S government agencies to cover his illegal activities, and involve them in taking a role in the activities makes him the most dishonest, corrupt, treasones U.S. President to ever hold the office. He actually used the cover of his dementia to help cover his illegal schemes. The idea that he manipulated the F.B.I. and the Justice Department to conspire and carry out his illegal activities just shows how he laughed at the citizens of the U.S. Stealing the 2020 election was actually child’s play compared to criminalizing judges, the press, government agencies, the White House employees, and anyone else he needed to spin his web of deceit. Fifty plus years of raping the American Taxpayer was just business as usual to Old Joe Biden. I hope we never run into anyone as crooked as Joe Biden in Washington again. The players in his corruption should all be held accountable for their wrong doing. It is a treasones offense to participate in these schemes, and trying to say you were just doing as you were instructed does not excuse your actions. They all know it, and they should all be held accountable.
I hope every American that loves our beautiful country will read this report, realizing the democrat party has become the party that hates American, hates American voters that elected Donald Trump Pres. of USA.
I will tell you, in my 62 years of voting I’ve have never voted for any democrat for pres. No not 1. I was raised in a Christian home that was divided, 1 Rep. ! dem.
I do not trust our media & stopped listening to them during the 1990’s,
If you love America, never vote for another dem. PERIOD!
Don’t leave out where all this corrupt government started, and that points directly at
OBAMA’s 8 years of destruction of America, then mentally incompetent Jerk BIDEN and his crooked cronies further destroyed America, for which it will take 30+ years to straighten out, after a huge DOWNSIZING of the Government.
Bombshells don’t mean squat since the communist press will not cover them. why do you think they have gone bonkers over the Epstein/Trump emails. They didn’t want to cover that their slimey friends in the demon party lost the shut down and got zero for hurting our country.
Until someone is arrested, charged, tried and convicted bombshells don’t mean squat. And stop trying to charge them in DC. Charge them in Tennessee or Texas or OK, etc.
Biden’s administrative branch conspiring with the judicial branch’s corrupt left-leaning judges to go after conservatives absolutely violates the separation of powers and smacks of political conspiracy! Get-um-all Pam Bondi!
The democrat way: do the crime then concoct a fake story to put GOP in the crime spotlight.
A convention of the states is a constitutional process for changing anything including the constitution. It would be a way to establish term limits and call for new elections of all of congress and get rid of gerrymandering. Many states have already signed on to it, not enough …. yet.
What do you have to do to get noticed by left wing media? I guess the only things that matter are issues that make Trump look bad in their opinion. May they all be shut down for making a travesty of journalism! That’s not censorship, it’s called ACCOUNTABILITY!
The government funding bill that was just passed and signed by Pres. Trump contains a provision that allows the US senators that were targeted during “Arctic Frost” to take legal action against the government. If it allows the senators to do so, it should also allow the more than 400 American individuals who were also spied upon to do the same.
It appears that there is significant evidence that the highest leaders in the Democratic Party in Washington, DC during the last four decades (since and including President Clinton) have determined that the only way for democrats to ensure their hold on the U. S. political system is to slander their Republican opponents and republicans in general. Now today, the democrats have created a broad swath of leftist people throughout the country who conduct unbridled rebellious activity, often encouraged by local democrat leaders. Leftists need to remember who produces the food they eat, allows the water to flow into the cities where they live and work, and from whence all their energy to heat and cool their homes, factories, and plush offices. Financial wealth may be great to flex your muscles in the stock market, but paper and computer storage provide nothing for the rich and all their leftist followers to live their comfortable lives, let alone survive. Trust me, pushing the American right to our breaking point will be an exceedingly unpleasant experience should a new civil war breakout.
Will the progressives and Biden and Obama ever be arrested alongside others of what they perpetrated on American citizens and their political opponents. Of course not. Soros will see to it. His influence on our judicial system is so far reaching and the AOC’s in the party know it. They keep on pushing their agenda. It is us the people that have to see the evil that has been created by the democrats. Only we don’t. They voted in a communist while Schumer kept the country shut down so the could blame Trump and swing the votes. The WEF called again for censoring social media. Not to make it honest, no to control it with digital ID and total control of content. They call it democracy restoration. That isn’t the problem. The powerful governments want to have control over the masses and with the social media out there they never will achieve it. The computers are in charge of us human beings not the politicians and they don’t like it. I said when the first PC came into being, this is evil, for I saw what it could do in the future. It can do much good but also much evil. And total control over the people in the name of democracy is here. Computers and cameras are everywhere. And the powerful will take control, not the people, of these computers, we just suffer the consequences of their laws. For control of the masses is their end goal.
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW! … That’s what the left and right always espouse. But apparently, if you’re an “Anointed American” you get a free pass. All of these public officials think we are all fools. May be we are…
So what is Congress, the DOJ, FBI and Supreme Court doing about all this corruption? I hear silence.
Still can’t get any (real) Journalists to report facts? Hmm maybe some more lawsuits are needed.
The American people who haven’t embraced Marxism, have not lost their minds and are not being silent, y’all just can’t hear us. We are out here across the country screaming, getting stress migraines hoping for some real legal action instead of just words.
Let me know when the corrupt heads roll. I can’t take the headaches anymore.
Did we notice, and the media didn’t even comment on it, how Biden did not even campaign. Covid was the excuse, and when he did show up, only the media was there.
The main, corporate media should lose their FCC license for the misinformation and out right lies they tell in their bias favor of all democrat politicians. Joe Biden was his own worst enemy, but no media, except the conservative media even showed what he did to that Prosecutor in Ukaane, just one lawless act.
Anyone surprised? Uhm, no
Criminals
Not surprising when the liberal puke media is just a mouthpiece for the demoncrap party. I can only imagine how the libtard media would have handled this had the Republican party committed these unconstitutional acts. The jackass boesberg (it doesn’t deserve to be called a judge) better be impeached soon!!!
** Of course the Progressive-controlled “mainstream media” [whether print, broadcast, or web-based/”social”] is ignoring this scandal. It demonstrates another aspect of the “ends-justify-the-means” relativistic morality that Progressives apply to all aspects of life, whether politics, business, family, education, religion, or social interactions and leisure/recreation. If it serves the Progressive’s self-affirmed “noble” ends, it is justified on that basis. The same logic applies here as applies to having aliens be treated as citizens, including giving them voting rights; it applies to “resurrectionist” padding of the voting rolls with dead people [not to mention mentally disabled nursing home residents, felons who have not had their voting rights restored, etc.]; and it applies to bribing corporate elites and bureaucrats to support them politically and financially with all manner of overt and clandestine subsidies, regulatory exemptions, sole-source contracts, etc.
** Part of the problem is that government law enforcement officials are generally protected from criminal or civil lawsuits for these illegal actions [and a wide range of other scams] by so-called “qualified immunity” laws and judicial precedents which largely absolve them from prosecution even for flagrant violations of Constitutionally protected civil, property, and IIA rights on the spurious basis that they are sworn government officials carrying out their duties. “Qualified immunity” needs to be overturned in the courts AND proscribed by law as allowing wholesale violations of Constitutional rights by government officials.
The Democrats and their politicians have lost their minds. They need to be deprogrammed. Sick people need help!!!
The left better not get away with this. They are the threat to our republic. The are doing everything they can to destroy. All those congressmen who were spied should sue everyone in biden’s little circle who okay this, including the judges. They should be charged and tried for sedition, andput in jail for about 20 years each, including brandon.
GOOD! LET THE CRIMINALS KNOW WE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND DID!
the country will collapse soon so prepare
FJB. His Presidency. His footprints on the rug in the Oval Office. ALL the so-called MSM! Then, all the people complicit in putting him in his position…
I read all these articles, and I can’t believe how politicians get away with a lot of bad doings. I am sure they use the Americans’ taxpayer’s money to do all these things. As I get older, I see the government getting worse. They are not working for the people of America. They are too busy fighting each other at the taxpayer’s cost. What I see in the future is, that it will get worse, no matter what we the people say. Everyone involved is doing it for their own good. I am up there in age, and I begin not care anymore.
