FBI Director Kash Patel has fired agents involved in tracking phone calls of eight Republican senators and a congressman as part of former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation of President Donald Trump.
Communication records belonging to GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham (SC), Marsha Blackburn (TN), Ron Johnson (WI), Josh Hawley (MO), Cynthia Lummis (WY), Bill Hagerty (TN), Dan Sullivan (AK), Tommy Tuberville (AL), and Rep. Mike Kelly (PA) were handed over to Smith’s “Arctic Frost” team after they subpoenaed major phone companies in 2023, Breitbart News reported.
That fact was unknown to the public until this week, with Patel saying he discovered the files hidden in a “lockbox” that was placed in a “vault” in a “cyber place where no one can see or search these files.”
“You put it in there when you want to hide it from the world, and that takes the authorization of the attorney general and the director of the FBI,” Patel said in a Tuesday interview on Fox News. “So not only did they weaponize this law enforcement, but when we got in there, and when I got in as the FBI director, from my experience as Russiagate, I knew where to look and what rooms to open and what doors to kick down, and that’s what we did.”
“We found this information to expose the politicization by Jack Smith and the prior Department of Justice,” he added, before revealing that he fired agents who facilitated the secret investigations into U.S. lawmakers:

Fired? Not prosecuted for abuse of power?
Good!
Fired? Why not prosecute those who gave the directive.
waiting on the perp walks...and waiting and waiting...
“But, we were just following Smith’s orders!”
Ex-FBI Agent looks real good on a resumé.
Yep, that was part of the real insurrection!
perhaps for a msnbc job or if someone needs 51 former Leo's to sign a stupid letter attacking something conservatives do.
Yes, prosecute...incarceratek or eliminate these traitors. “Fired” is a sternly worded letter to these criminals.
That’s nice. But this deserves criminal charges. This is a gross violation of civil rights under color of law. It’s exactly the charge some southern sheriff would get for preventing someone from voting, or a cop who gets in one extra hit with a baton. These agents and their supervisors should be facing prison time. Barring isn’t enough… Kash is protecting them.
Fire first, then prosecute...............
Fire first. Prosecute second................
Fire first. Prosecute second................
Exactly. If he is not going to fire them he should DOX them so others know who to sue.
No mention of how many.
Or maybe Blondie. But this 100% guarantee is it will happen again when they get back in power. Prison is the only deterrent. If all they get as a consequence is to be fired, they will do that all day long. Progressives will get in those positions, do the illegal act, when fired, they will land on their feet with a deal on the board of some left-wing foundation.
My guess is at least four, maybe even as high as ten.........
These traitorous agents should be in jail awaiting a capital trial.
Wonder how much money we would save if we just got rid of all the “spying on Americans” programs
