Revealed: Jack Smith and Christopher Wray Subpoenaed the Donor Lists and Emails of Every Single Conservative Organization on "Biden's Enemies List"

Trump is such a dictator he works backwards through time.

The subpoenas included nonpublic, confidential grand jury material that Grassley said he obtained through whistleblower disclosures.

They sought certain communications with media companies, including Fox News, CBS, Sinclair and Newsmax and with "any" members and aides in Congress. They also sought sweeping financial information from conservative entities.

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.

Lenny Breuer, a lawyer for Smith, said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital that Smith stands by his offer to appear publicly before the Senate and House to testify about his special counsel work.

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.

More from the NY Post: Guess which judge approved this unprecedented Kremlin-esque spying on the dissidents?

That's right -- Judge Boasberg.

And there are fresh calls for his impeachment.

"I've obtained through legally protected whistleblower disclosures," Grassley said. "197 subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith and his team. These subpoenas were issued to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, including financial institutions.

"The subpoena requested records and communications related to over 430 individual and organizations -- all of them appear to be aimed at Republicans," the Iowa Republican added, noting requests sent to the late conservative icon Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA and the Republican Attorneys General Association.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), one of the nine Republicans whose phone metadata was sought, said "Arctic Frost is Joe Biden's Watergate."

"Merrick Garland was a fundamentally corrupt attorney general. Jack Smith was a fundamentally corrupt prosecutor. This was a political enemies list from the beginning," he told reporters, brandishing the court order that demanded AT&T hand over his cell records to the feds.

The order was signed by US District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg and barred the cell carrier from letting Cruz know about the request "for at least one year," he said.

The Texas Republican and others called for Boasberg's impeachment in the House, with Cruz claiming the judge was "abusing his power" by asserting in the order there were "reasonable grounds to believe that such disclosure will result in destruction of or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses and serious jeopardy to the investigation."

"We don't know that for a fact, but I feel confident that he concluded it's likely that Lindsey Graham would destroy evidence and Marsha Blackburn would destroy evidence, and Eric Schmitt would destroy evidence, and Chuck Grassley would destroy evidence," Cruz went on.

"If a judge signs an order reaching a factual conclusion for which there is zero evidence whatsoever, that judge is abusing his power. I am right now calling on the House of Representatives to impeach Judge Boasberg."

Boasberg issued a scathing order against the Trump administration earlier this year to halt deportation flights of alleged MS-13, Tren de Aragua and other gang members from the US to a Salvadoran mega-prison.

Jim Jordan says that Arctic Frost was just like Crossfire Hurricane -- there was never any legal justification to open an investigation, let alone spy on hundreds of conservative actors and organizations. It was simple authoritarian crushing of the opposition.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, who got the document from current FBI Director Kash Patel, told Just the News on Wednesday night that he believes the memo justifying the start of Arctic Frost was legally deficient and suffered from the same politicization and abuses as the 2016 Russia collusion probe code-named "Crossfire Hurricane" that also targeted Trump before it was widely discredited.

"Sure looks that way. ... and it looks like this was just the same old weaponization, same old political focus, focus on politics, going after your political enemies," Jordan said during a wide-ranging interview on the Just the News, No Noise television show. "Same mindset that said we're going to put the dossier in the intelligence community assessment, even though we know the dossier is garbage, we know there's no underlying intelligence support.

"That same mindset that was there in 2016 is the mindset we see now in 2022 with Arctic Frost, and then as it transformed into Jack Smith, special counsel later in 2022 -- same exact mindset. So yeah, that's what it sure looks like," he added.

This treasonous plot was hatched at the highest levels of Merrick Garland's DOJ, Christopher Wray's FBI, and Joe Biden's White House. (Though of course we cannot exclude the possibility that President Autopen was napping on the beach throughout all this.)

Recently-declassified revelations related to the FBI's "Arctic Frost" investigation chronicle the 2022 lawfare assault against then-former President Donald Trump and MAGA world, as criminal inquiries -- which would soon lead to criminal charges -- spun into high gear as Trump leaned toward running for president again.

New evidence shows that then-Attorney General Merrick Garland, then-Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and then-FBI Director Christopher Wray signed off on the launch of the Arctic Frost inquiry into Trump related to the Capitol riot. Unearthed emails also show that the Biden White House Counsel's Office coordinated with an anti-Trump FBI agent to hand over phones which had belonged to Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released a document this week from early April 2022 showing that Garland, Monaco, and Wray all signed off on the launch of the sweeping inquiry into Trump. The memo -- initialized by Garland, Monaco, and Wray -- was for the "Approval to Open a Certain Sensitive Investigative Matter [SIM] Investigation."

"WFO [Washington Field Office] seeks to open this SIM full investigation based on evidence that presents specific and articulable facts that individuals, both known and unknown, engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct Congress's certification of the Electoral College on January 6, 2020 [sic]," the launch document said.

...

Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, in April released "FBI emails provided by legally protected whistleblowers" which he said showed "officials in the Biden White House, including then-White House Deputy Counsel Jonathan Su, personally assisted the FBI in securing the government cell phones of President Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence." The senator noted that "the cell phones were acquired before Trump was formally added as a subject of the investigation."

The senator said the disclosures also included "further evidence anti-Trump FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault played a central role in opening and advancing the Arctic Frost investigation, despite other agents' concerns that the evidence only supported a limited preliminary investigation."

Thibault, a former FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge at the FBI's Washington Field Office, retired from the bureau in 2022 amidst whistleblower allegations and after his anti-Trump social media postings were revealed.

An unearthed email from April 2022 showed Thibault approving the opening of Arctic Frost.

The emails showed that, in late February 2022, Thibault said that "I am working to get DOJ and FBIHQ to gain approval to open a case on the Trump campaign et al for conspiring to defraud the US Govt [Government] via the elector scheme. This case will be worked by CR15."

As I've mentioned, we can now use this incredibly vague charge of "conspiring to defraud the government" -- which can cover any corrupt, self-dealing political action -- to prosecute these people.

Let them argue that "conspiracy to defraud the government" charges are some made-up bullshit they used to criminalize non-criminal behavior.

And then let's convict them anyway.

Happy Thursday!
