Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) have blown the lid off yet another sham investigation oled by Biden’ws DOJ for no apparent reason. According to newly uncovered documents, howing that the Biden administration tried to use the government owned telephones of President Trump and Mike Pence to start another scam investigation agains Trump. But,k Trump stymies Democats by refusing to break any laws and it makes them quite angry.
Armed with whistleblower disclosures and damning internal documents, the two Senators began sounding the alarm over “Operation Arctic Frost,” a taxpayer-funded witch hunt that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence.
The source told Fox News:
“The Biden White House played right along with the FBI’s ‘gotcha’ scheme against Trump.”
“Biden’s Office of White House Counsel, under the leadership of Dana Remus and Jonathan Su, gave its blessing and accommodation for the FBI to physically obtain Trump and Pence’s phones in early May 2022. Weeks later, the FBI began drafting a search warrant to extract the phones’ data.”
The Senators seny fiery letters to Kash Patel and Pam Bondie, demandng an investigation.
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELThey allege that Arctic Frost, launched in April 2022 under the Biden administration, was a blatant abuse of power spearheaded by anti-Trump FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) Timothy Thibault.
The senators claim Thibault violated FBI protocols—specifically the “No Self-Approval Rule”—to kickstart the investigation, which later morphed into Special Counsel Jack Smith’s baseless elector case against Trump, relying on fabricated justifications, including the absurd claim that Trump and his associates had engaged in “fraudulent” activities related to the 2020 election.
The whistleblower documents detail how the FBI aggressively pursued over 50 subpoenas, secretly gathered records from more than 100 different facilities and email accounts, and conducted a second wave of interviews across multiple states in their desperate attempt to manufacture a case against Trump and his allies.
But perhaps the most damning revelation is that the DOJ and FBI took possession of government-issued cell phones that previously belonged to Trump and Pence—devices that were apparently retrieved from White House personnel.
These phones, which could contain sensitive presidential communications, were seized before any search warrants were even obtained.
In other words, the FBI was fishing for dirt first and worried about legality later.
The Arctic Frost probe, which started in April 2022, was fast-tracked by anti-Trump operatives and prioritized “over all other cases,” according to leaked internal emails.
Read the press release below:
In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) made public legally protected whistleblower disclosures showing the FBI, as part of its Arctic Frost investigation, acquired the government cell phones of President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence, among other government officials.
FBI agents used taxpayer dollars to crisscross the country and conduct dozens of interviews in support of the political probe.
The unclassified FBI records convey the alarming scope and speed of the FBI’s 2022 investigation of President Trump, which they dubbed “Operation Arctic Frost.”
The investigation – launched by anti-Trump FBI agent Timothy Thibault in a breach of FBI protocol – formed the basis of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s elector case against Trump. Upon opening the investigation, Thibault vowed it would be “prioritized over all others in the Branch” and commented that “it frankly took too long for us to open this [investigation].”
“Sunshine is the best disinfectant,” the chairmen wrote to Bondi and Patel.
“The American people deserve to know the complete extent of the corruption within the DOJ and FBI that led to the investigation into President Trump. We are making this information public for purposes of public accountability and to provide specific examples of past behavior at your institutions that must not be repeated.
Quite simply, the public has a right to know what happened in Arctic Frost and, based on what we’ve exposed to date, the American public deserves better from its law enforcement agencies.
It is important that every individual at your agencies maintains the highest level of professionalism, and does not allow political bias to motivate or guide their investigative work.”
Within weeks of opening Arctic Frost on April 13, 2022, FBI agents began taking aggressive action to build out their case. The following is a summary of some Arctic Frost investigatory updates, based on unclassified internal FBI records:
