Revelations last year claimed the Biden FBI snooped on the phone records of multiple Republican members of Congress, including eight senators, during its January 6 investigation known as Arctic Frost.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan expanded his committee's investigation Monday into allegations that the Biden administration spied on Republican lawmakers.

Revelations last year claimed the Biden FBI snooped on the phone records of multiple Republican members of Congress, including eight senators, during its January 6 investigation known as Arctic Frost.

Jordan sent the latest letter to Alpine Bank CEO Glen Jammaron requesting documents and communications related to allegations that the Biden administration's Department of Justice may have subpoenaed financial institutions for records of private customer data for Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert.

The letter asks the bank to produce documents and communications relating to any material sought by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia in relation to investigations about the 2020 presidential election.

It also sought documents and material related to Arctic Frost and activities conducted by former Special Counsel Jack Smith and asked for the material by no later than May 11.

Before Obama, the US Dept of Justice (and the FBI within it) was already America’s top political-control agency - in charge of government prosecutions (and thus policy), with the power of investigation and covert monitoring over the entire country.

Obama and Holder turned it into the USA’s KGB.

The seal has been broken, the cancer has formed, the genie is out of the bottle.
The DOJ-FBI have been corrupted and it won’t be good for conservatives in the future.

In October 2025, FBI Director Kash Patel announced the FBI was cutting ties with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), accusing the organization of engaging in “disgraceful ops spying on Americans” while operating as a “political front”.

Patel specifically alleged the group targeted conservative organizations and criticized former Biden-era FBI leadership for embedding agents with them.

The Washington Post Recent developments in federal law enforcement have brought the long-standing self-serving ADL activities into the spotlight: In October 2025, FBI Director Kash Patel officially ended the FBI’s partnership with the ADL, accusing the organization of acting as a “political front” and “spying on Americans”.

Patel alleged that Biden’s former FBI Director James Comey had “embedded” tax-paid FBI agents within the Anti-Defamation League and used the ADL’s self-serving extremist definitions as a pretext to surveil conservative groups.

The decision followed intense backlash after the ADL labeled the murdered Charlie Kirk’s “Turning Point USA” a “hate group.”

Here is an interesting and somewhat related article:

“Dan Bongino reveals how he trapped ‘snakes’ inside FBI to stop media leaks”

https://www.foxnews.com/media/dan-bongino-reveals-trapped-snakes-inside-fbi-stop-media-leaks

“”It happened a couple times where they’d say, ‘Oh, you can trust John Smith.’ And you trust John Smith, and then a week later you see a leak in the media and you’d be like, ‘I’m pretty sure that came from John Smith,’” he added.

To root out these individuals, Bongino described a tactic he used to identify leakers. He made up an “innocuous” detail about his schedule in hopes it would be leaked. When it appeared in the media, he was able to confront the person with whom he shared it.”

Uh, that’s known as a canary trap. Bongino didn’t invent it; it’s been used for centuries and has many variants.

The relationship between the FBI and the “non-profit” ADL has shifted significantly:

As of October 28, 2025, the Trump FBI officially concluded the decades-long Obama/Biden-era partnership with the ADL.

This decision followed intensive criticism regarding the ADL’s self-serving “Glossary of Extremism,” which improperly categorized conservative political groups....... and the ADL infamously labeling murdered Charlie Kirk’s group, “Turning Point USA,” a hate group.

The ADL supposedly cooperated with law enforcement for training and “information sharing.” ADL is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization which “says” it is primarily funded by “private donations.”

US Foreign aid tax dollars might also factor in since the ADL is strongly connected to Israel and explicitly advocates for Israel, defining itself as a Zionist organization. ADL supports a “Jewish and democratic State of Israel” through lobbying, educational programs, and by countering criticism of Israel the self-serving ADL defines as “antisemitic.”

Some critics and congressional testimonies in 2024 and 2025 have questioned the flow of tax-exempt dollars to various organizations, including the ADL’s self-seeking emphasis on countering its own biased definition of what constitutes “antisemitism,” —— The Heritage Foundation

More details are available on specific aspects of this and specific FBI/ADL training programs that were halted, as well as Congressional hearings regarding ADL-type nonprofit funding.

Some financial details-—whether accurate or not—— are available from the ADL’s 2025-2026 tax filings.

Clinton started it to protect Rostenkowski during his huge tax hike.
