Have you ever heard of anything called “Arctic Frost”?
I didn’t until just a couple of days ago. But I know what it is now. And if it is anywhere near as bad as it seems, it is one of the most egregious political witch hunts in the history of the country – maybe the single worst.
Here are excerpts from Ashley Oliver’s article for Fox News (more than I would usually pull from an article; sorry Ashley):
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released on Wednesday 197 subpoenas that the Biden administration’s FBI used to seek testimony and documents related to hundreds of Republicans and GOP entities as part of the bureau’s Arctic Frost probe, the precursor to former special counsel Jack Smith’s election investigation.
“Arctic Frost was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus,” Grassley said at a press conference. “Contrary to what Smith has said publicly, this was clearly a fishing expedition.”
Standing alongside Grassley, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., called the subpoenas “nothing short of a Biden administration enemies list.”
Grassley has been releasing troves of documents related to Arctic Frost, a probe he says was politicized and lacked basis. Smith used the probe to bring criminal charges against Trump related to the 2020 election.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, also raised at the press conference the controversial subpoenas for eight Republican senators’ phone records, which did not include the contents of phone calls but rather details about when calls were place and to whom. Cruz said he was also among the targeted senators, but he said his phone company, AT&T, resisted complying with the request and that AT&T was ordered by a federal judge not to inform Cruz about the request for a year. Grassley said Verizon told him that Cruz’s office’s Verizon landline was also “affected” but did not elaborate.
“We are going to get the answers of every person who signed off on this abuse of power, and mark my words, there will be accountability,” Cruz said, signaling that the senators’ inquiry into Arctic Frost was far from over.
How bad is this? Accusation-wise, I don’t know how it gets worse. This is what you expect from putin’s Russia or maduro’s Venezuela, not the United States of America. It should sicken any decent citizen.
And then there is this: I will ask you to…
…try and imagine what our mainstream media would be saying if it were a Republican administration going after Democrats this way….
and then go to the websites for NBC news, ABC news and CBS news, and try to find a story about this. I don’t mean a lead story. I mean a story anywhere on the website.
Media bias? Naaaaaahhhhhh. It’s great journalism. Just ask them.
