How the DOJ went after Trump’s allies - Jack Smith targeted Republican movers and shakers
The Washington Times ^ | 2 Oct, 2025 | Rowan Scarborough

The Biden Justice Department and prosecutor Jack Smith were involved in more than just destroying President Trump in 2022-2023 as a presidential candidate.

We now know, thanks to Sen. Charles E. Grassley and documents provided by an FBI whistleblower, that Attorney General Merrick Garland’s team launched a much more exhaustive investigation.

Called Arctic Frost, the FBI onslaught focused on Mr. Trump and on the conservative movement, its money, infrastructure and brain trusts. The FBI theory was that groups such as the Republican National Committee contributed to Mr. Trump’s claims that the 2020 election count was rigged.

In September, Mr. Grassley disclosed the existence of FBI subpoenas for Republicans’ bank records as special counsel Jack Smith worked toward an indictment of Mr. Trump for attempting to reverse his 2020 election loss. Those fraud charges went dormant after Mr. Trump won the presidency in 2024. Mr. Garland, Mr. Biden’s attorney general, appointed Mr. Smith as special counsel on Nov. 18, 2022. Mr. Smith assumed control of Arctic Frost as FBI agents continued to issue subpoenas into 2023.

Talk about an enemy’s list. Talk about a fishing expedition. The Grassley whistleblower supplied a spreadsheet created by FBI agents from Arctic Frost. The Excel document comprises more than 90 names and groups, a who’s who in Republican power circles, their banks, and the dates subpoenas were issued in 2022-2023.

“Arctic Frost wasn’t just a case to politically investigate Trump. It was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and Department of Justice prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus,” Mr. Grassley said.

The FBI subpoenas went right to the top: The Republican National Committee, the Republican Attorneys General Association and the Trump-inspired America First Policy Institute.

I hope all of these FBI personnel are charged, held in jail until their trials and, when convicted, are given maximum sentences in the general population of the worst prisons in the country.

If they’re not made to pay a high price for their treason, they or others like them will do it again thinking there is no risk.

“The Excel document comprises more than 90 names and groups, a who’s who in Republican power circles”

Breathtaking.

And the idiot law ‘n order Republicants still “support” the FIBs like drooling morons.

Talk about wagging the dog.

I’ll wouldn’t be surprised that during Biden’s reign of terror, those applying to be FBI agents had to pass a “loyalty” test and prove their willingness to go after Trump, rather than bank robbers and spies.

I too hope for justice. Unfortunately, few if any will ever face any consequences for their actions. That is just the way it goes most of the time.

The number of indictments for this treason stands at 0.

Nope.
Last week alone 20 far left FBI agents who kneeled for BLM were fired.
Did you miss that?

We can only hope

Currently he’s off to the races like a herd of turtles

Been there for months now, just starting to do something?

He gut submarined during the Charlie Kirk assassination and it finally dawned on him that he can’t treat it like a side gig
