WASHINGTON — An FBI investigation launched in the wake of the the 2020 election scrutinized nearly 100 Republican and GOP-aligned groups or people — including Turning Point USA, co-founded by slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, unclassified bureau files released Tuesday show.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) published files related to the probe — codenamed “Arctic Frost” — during a panel hearing, saying the records revealed “Arctic Frost was much broader than just an electoral matter” and that the investigation “expanded to Republican organizations.”
“Some examples of the groups the [Christopher] Wray FBI sought to place under political investigation included the Republican National Committee, Republican Attorneys General Association and Trump political groups,” Grassley went on.
“On that political list was one of Charlie Kirk’s groups, Turning Point USA,” he added.
“In other words, Arctic Frost wasn’t just a case to politically investigate Trump. It was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus.”
Arctic Frost kicked off in April 2022 and focused on at least 92 Republican-linked entities like Kirk’s youth activist organization. That November, the case was handed over to special counsel Jack Smith.
Smith would go on to federally charge President Trump with unlawfully hoarding national security documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate and wrongly seeking to overturn the 2020 election results.
The investigation pursued lines of inquiry about purportedly false election fraud claims, fake elector schemes, frivolous lawsuits, financial fraud and pressure on state officials to flip vote counts in Trump’s favor.
“This conspiracy involved subjects from the private sector, in numerous battleground states (Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Mexico, and Arizona), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the White House,” one of the newly released FBI documents stated.

And still the FBI knows little about ANTIFA, BLM, REVCOM, Occupy Wall Street, etc.
Arctic Frost huh? Okay.
We are Venezuela.
How many of these little Jack Frosts are still working at the FBI? Over under is all of them. Nothing has changed except now our FBI director yells at the dems in congress instead of the pubs.
This should be the lead story. Not Jimmy Kimmel allegedly being forced of the air by Trump Administration threats. What Biden’s and Garland’s DOJ did to conservative groups is the true threat to free speech and political discourse.
Yet we have yet to see indictments, arrests, perp walks, trials and prison for Wray and the rest.
Now we’re doing it. When they’re back in power, they will do it again. And yes, I know, they are criminal and communist in ways that we aren’t. (We’re merely the purposely ineffective controlled opposition.)
Your tax dollars at work. Last I checked I didn’t see the FBI in the Constitution.
“When they’re back in power, they will do it again.”
The only way they can get back in power is with the same old cheating system.
But elections will be cleaned up. The D’s will not be able to cheat themselves into office.
A lawyer might be better to answer my question, but why aren’t these people being criminally prosecuted for violations of civil rights under color of authority? This is clearly beyond the official scope of their duties, plus, because it is beyond the scope of their duties, they need to lose the right to have government lawyers defend them and they should lose any qualified immunity for criminal prosecutions and civil fines.

Despicable Biden’s “Arctic Frost” wasn’t just a govt scheme to politically investigate Trump:
<><>It was Biden’s illegal invasive govt vehicle
<><>teeming w/ Biden’s partisan govt FBI agents
<><>and Biden’s avid govt DOJ prosecutors
<><>it was primed to achieve Biden’s blackest partisan ends
<><>to investigate the entire Republican political apparatus, without cause
<><>using millions of our tax dollars.
Sure.
Where’s the “list”? Is this the list that included Catholics?
This is huge
this is the shadow government at work. They support the overthrow of the government.
I expect all the newly excited First Amendment protectors to begin screaming about the federal investigation into these groups.
Where’s Pambi ?
Flame away..
