FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly ousted one of the leading special agents who oversaw the Arctic Frost investigation into President Trump.
“Operation Arctic Frost” was a taxpayer-funded witch hunt launched in April 2022 that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to Trump and Pence while conducting a barrage of interviews across the country.
The 2020 Trump alternate electors prompted the Biden DOJ to open the Arctic Frost investigation into Trump and hundreds of other individuals and organizations.
According to MSNBC, Patel is ousting Aaron Tapp, one of the lead agents on Arctic Frost.
Aaron Tapp is a Special Agent in Charge leading the San Antonio Field Office.
According to Aaron Tapp’s LinkedIn page, he has served in the FBI for more than 20 years.
“Senior FBI Executive with more than twenty-seven years of combined experience leading people, conducting and supervising complex investigations, and engaging in collaborative partnership across government and the private sector. Strategic thinker who anticipates future requirements and creates strategies to achieve results. Broad based operational, management and human capital expertise. A natural collaborator who is focused on building and motivating cross-functional and integrated teams who consistently achieve excellence,” Aaron Tapp said on his LinkedIn page.
“Driver of organizational and cultural change through innovation, transparency, communication and partnership. Deep experience combatting the most serious threats facing the private sector. Experience in the financial services industry leveraging functional and technical skills from multiple teams to address complex problems. Extensive experience balancing business needs and risk mitigation. Currently leading the FBI San Antonio Field Office,” he said.
Kash Patel is ousting Aaron Tapp after he appeared in the documents released by Senate Republicans.
Aaron Tapp was one of the many FBI leaders of the Arctic Frost operation.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Wednesday revealed that former Special Counsel Jack Smith targeted the ‘entire Republican apparatus.’
Grassley said new disclosures revealed Jack Smith targeted conservative organizations such as TPUSA and the Republican Attorneys General Association.
“I’ve obtained through legally protected whistleblower disclosures,” Grassley said during a press conference on Wednesday. “197 subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith and his team. These subpoenas were issued to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, including financial institutions.”
President Trump called for all of the dirty cops and corrupt prosecutors involved in Arctic Frost and Russiagate to be investigated.
“Former FBI Agent Walter Giardina is a DIRTY COP! He should be, along with Deranged Jack Smith, the sinister team of Lisa Monaco and Andrew Weissmann, Liddle’ Jay Bratt, Norm Eisen and his FAKE Charity, CREW, Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, Thomas Windom, who dreamt up the corrupt J-6 Witch Hunt, should be investigated, immediately,” Trump said.
“They are a disgrace to our Nation. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump said.

Well, it’s a start. But, I won’t hold my breath waiting on the perp walks.
ARCTIC FROST LEADERS STILL AT FBI
The personnel actions thus far are only a solid start.
The below were promoted to lead offices:
Aaron Tapp (@FBISanAntonio)
James Barnacle (@FBICharlotte)
Joe Rothrock (@FBIDallas)
Devin Kowalski (@FBISanJuan)
Wayne Jacobs (@FBIPhiladelphia)
I bet he sues to get his job back, or to get all the pay he would have been entitled to if he’d stayed in his job until retirement.
“Aaron Tapp’s LinkedIn page”
What a bunch of happy horse sh!t bafflegab. LOL!
It would be really cool if the writer would define what “ousted” means. Is it being told to get a banker’s box & pack your sh!t. Or is it “double secret probation” on the rubber gun squad in the FBI DC HQ basement?
“If you can’t impress them with knowledge, baffle them with BS!”.................
Here is a group of men who knew better but proceeded anyway. What did they hope to gain? In the end they ruined their reputation.
I believe that it means the same as ‘Relieved of Duty’ in the military. He’s essentially in limbo until the investigation is over................one way or another.........

They should have gave him a lie detector test about what he knew before he was let go.
They should all be sitting in prison with no due process. Just like they did to the Jan. 6 political prisoners.
Patel only fires people when he gets called out. Guy’s a stiff at best.
I am hoping they ruined their lives with long prison terms.
He should be arrested along with the renegades mentioned in post #3.
this is fine display of a circle jerk membership committee.
Amen. It strays so far from normal human conversation. The sad thing is that such word salad is expected in the first-level screening by the girls (utilizing their subset of “social” skills) in Human Resources. But note that at least the quotes from his LinkedIn page didn’t include anything QUANTIFIABLE, as is expected in a job hunt. Like “Increased false evidence plants upon non-RINO Republicans by 43%”.
Also, the LinkedIn verbiage did not include variations of “passion”, “passionate”, etc. So his resume is discarded.
The world’s smallest violin and severence checks ought we awarded to the poor suffering secret service agents that had to swallow the guilt of looking the other way in the hunter cocaine stash instead of manning up like the anticovid shot soldiers who were drummed fron the service as traiters because, unlike the pope and these doofs, they believrd in the preciousness of life.
And thanks to the pope...mrna vaccines continue instead of a non-aborted fetus line from afterbirth: which would be totally ethical.
Throw those cowardly bums out...coin and all.
These guys would take a bullet for no one, not even family. Same with the clot shot officers doing the drumming. Cowards all.
