Arctic Frost was the worst abuse of power by a presidential administration in the last 75 years.
It easily exceeded not only Watergate, but even the Obama era which had pioneered the practice of spying on opposing members of Congress under the guise of conducting counterintelligence operations, first against Israel and then Russia, climaxing in ‘Russiagate’.
The Biden administration discarded the ‘foreign’ pretext and began treating political opponents as ‘threats to democracy’ and the Jack Smith witch hunt not only targeted President Trump, but cast a net so wide that its Arctic Frost campaign deployed 197 subpoenas that hit 400 Republican targets including conservative organizations and even members of Congress.
After the first wave of revelations that 10 members of Congress, including 9 senators, had their call logs secretly seized with the complicity of partisan Democrat judges, Sen. Ted Cruz called for the impeachment of Judge James Boasberg. In his defense, Jack Smith, a Hillary Clinton ally acting as an ‘independent special counsel’ at the behest of the Biden administration, had his lawyers put out a statement claiming that, “the toll data collection was narrowly tailored and limited to the four days from January 4, 2021 to January 7, 2021” focusing on “the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol”.
We now know that’s not true.
Former Rep. Louie Gohmert, who was a sitting member of Congress at the time, had his cell phone records subpoenaed not just for “four days”, but for three months. As of now, this is the most extensive known spying on any of the members of Congress targeted in Arctic Frost.
The shocking revelation that a member of Congress had been spied on for three months, well beyond four days in January, makes it all too apparent that like Russia, J6 was a pretext for a wide-ranging campaign to spy on and prosecute as many Republicans and conservatives as possible.
Rep. Louie Gohmer, currently a senior fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, had emerged as the most outspoken congressional opponent of the abuses that occurred before and after the 2020 election, urging Republicans to look into election fraud and taking part in a lawsuit challenging the election results, and had likely been targeted as payback.
The representative from Texas had also been a passionate defender of some of the men and women arrested in the so-called ‘J6’ incident and Smith may have been hoping to silence him.
Gohmert had been targeted alongside Speaker Kevin McCarthy, but neither man’s name even appears in Jack Smith’s final report to the Biden administration making it clear that Smith had no grounds for spying on Gohmert and learned nothing that he was able to include in the report.
So why did Smith set out to conduct such an extensive search of Rep. Gohmert’s records?
The purpose of Smith’s fishing expedition clearly went beyond anything that could be included in the report. And further demonstrates that Arctic Frost was a domestic spy operation against the opposition whose scope went far beyond anything needed for the J6 investigation.
Three months would have covered not only January, but the election and its entire aftermath.
Jack Smith made the demands for Gohmert’s records shortly after he first returned to the United States from Europe and fired off a series of secret requests to phone companies, financial institutions and social media platforms including Twitter or X. The secrecy of the requests was first made public when X sued over the ‘nondisclosure’ part which barred the company from informing users that their communications were being seized by the Democrat investigator.
The targeting of members of the Congress makes it clear that part of the reason for the secrecy was to cover up the Biden administration’s own Watergate. X challenged the secret targeting, but none of the phone companies who were told to hand over information from members of Congress chose to challenge this totalitarian assault on the privacy of their customers.
Verizon has claimed that it had no choice, but X shows that the telecommunications giant had a choice. It just made the wrong one. So did judges like Judge James Boasberg who signed off on secret spying on members of Congress under the pretext that they would cover up evidence.
It’s not enough to only hold Smith, FBI personnel and DOJ officials involved in Arctic Frost accountable without also scrutinizing the judges who enabled Biden’s Watergate.
“Does Congress Need to Impeach Judges to Make Them Behave?” Former Rep. Louie Gohmert asked in a Front Page Magazine article this year.
Rep. Gohmert noted that Article III Section 1 of the Constitution states that “The Judges, both of the supreme & inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior” and suggested “that it might be a good idea to bring judges in before the Judiciary Committee to ask them about matters in which a judge may have violated the ‘good behaviour’ standard.”
Could there be a better case for Congress holding federal judges accountable than spying on its own members at the behest of the opposing ruling party?
That’s why the David Horowitz Freedom Center is working on a Judicial Accountability Project, assembling abuses by federal district judges and working to hold them accountable.
Rep. Louie Gohmert has since retired from Congress and serves as a senior fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center and an advisor to its Judicial Accountability Project.
If I recall, the Fourth Amendment specifically states: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
NONE of those clear, specific requirements were met in the Raid on Mar-A-Lago nor in the secret wiretapping and surveillance of these Republican Senators and drag-net of hundreds of other political opponents of Biden, and commentators.
Perjured affidavits were used to secure “search warrants” from corrupt, Trump-hating “judges,” and then their targets’ lives were destroyed, and bankrupted.
Madame Attorney General Pam Bondi, when, if ever, are we going to start seeing 2:00 A.M. Mueller- and Garland-style SWAT Team raids to drag these Bad Boys out of their beds in the middle of the night and hustle them away into waiting Chevy Suburbans in front of the cameras?
Will we ever? Why haven’t we seen even one of them yet?
The 4A does not apply unless you’re a criminal.
You should have heard the howling – and the arguments –
when I threw that bombshell out
in the middle of a Con Law class.
Funny as all hell having the prof – and the simps –
arguing with someone who has first hand knowledge of how useful the 4A really is.
Unless you have bodies buried in your backyard, I don’t think the 4A has any meaning now.
Hopefully, that will be one of the ‘Rules of Law’ restored to Americans
when / if the Demokkkrats are actually defeated.
Sadly, so far Pam Bondi is tough talk and no action.
Takes time to get all the ducks in a row. Very difficult and narrow line one has to walk when trying to prosecute elected officials and appointed judiciary.
This is involving the Dem-O-Rats the Lapdog Press is not about to reveal the truth this whole Conspiracy against Trump is Political the UN/WEF, CFR and DNC criminals and the Globalists scum suckers
“the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol” – that isn’t true either.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The writer of this “comment” either had a heart attack while typing and fell on the keyboard or else they’re a left wing antifa troll making a “statement”.
Excellent article. Unless activist judges are held accountable with long prison terms and bankrupting fines why would they stop doing what the Democrats appointed and paid them to do? If Trump doesn’t fix this systemic partisan judicial corruption now, the US is headed for 3rd world politically weaponized judiciary and then it’s game over and whichever party “wins” elections will simply terrorize their losing opponents like in Brazil, Turkey, etc.
we are the dead – Right you are. They were called show
trials in the Communist Soviet Union and with the brazen
corruption of the Left – that is right where we are headed.
Does anyone else find it odd that multiple independent journalists can map out the entire Russia collusion conspiracy, the J6 fedsurrection, and antifa, all of the individuals, organizations, funders, networks and crimes involved in all of these; but the FBI and DOJ have no clue about any of it? Not only do these criminals have no problem openly discussing and laughing about their crimes on network TV, it is still open season on conservative influencers and even members of the administration. Not even one single solitary arrest of the orchestrators and funders of any of it.
Good luck on your ‘Judicial Accountability Project’. You will be one of the only ones seriously pursuing this. Trump and his Barbi Doll DOJ certainly won’t!
‘Arctic Frost’ sounds like a soap opera mini series, and it should. That’s what it is, with another installment coming soon. Where were all these congressmen at when real and tangible damage was done to the J 6ers through their targeted persecution? (Ghomert excluded) They remained silent until it effected their political ambitions! Now they cry like babies. Expect nothing from these scum lowlife or Trump and his ‘prime time’ administration. They will do NOTHING to investigate or stop this. Stay tuned folks, there’s more to come..
Hopefully, your harsh comment will prove fruitless, and something will come of these investigations. I agree that most in Congress sat idly by during the J-6th investigations, but I disagree with passing the blame onto President Trump. He was not in office during the J-6th investigations, and for him to take a major role now would only appear self-serving. It should be handled by the FBI, DOJ, and Congress.
Make defenestration great again.
Like the Defenestration of Prague, that started the 30 Years War. Germany took centuries to recover.
The time given on several of the above comments is up to almost 7 hours later than the current time EST. What time zone is being used?
Twilight Zone time.
Bravo and God speed to the David Horowitz Freedom Center for
their work on a Judicial Accountability Project. Who else will
demand to know on what basis these corrupt judges are issuing
subpoenas – which can actually get ahold of Congress members
phone calls? Subpoenas issued for the foremost purpose of
spying on the opposition!
In the current atmosphere of judges on the left willing to ignore
Supreme Court rulings or in other ways flout the law in order to
stymie President Trump’s orders at every turn – a Judicial
Accountability Project is music to conservatives’ ears.
This is a lot like the back and forth between the Marius and Sulla factions in Ancient Rome.
Nothing to see here other than the GREATEST CONSPIRACY in Our HISTORY! They ALL need to HANG!
