From the New York Post: Eighteen Republicans on Thursday demanded the release of FBI records compiled during the Biden administration’s Arctic Frost investigation — after nine were recently informed by bureau officials that agents had surreptitiously obtained their call logs from 2021, The Post can reveal.
The GOP lawmakers asked for all the Arctic Frost communications involving the FBI, Department of Justice, members of former President Joe Biden’s White House and ex-special counsel Jack Smith’s office, according to a letter led by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).
Smith received the materials — including the so-called “toll analysis,” or phone metadata from the members of Congress that could show who they called or texted — for what would later become his 2020 election meddling prosecution of President Trump.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino told eight Republican senators and one House GOP member that the Washington Field Office got their call logs from between Jan. 4 and 7, 2021, and that the information was “subject to federal grand jury secrecy requirements,” per the letter.
Grassley, Johnson and the 16 other Republicans are now demanding answers, and have sent a letter asking if there were any other “wiretaps, seizure warrants, or surveillance” included in the scheme, or any subpoenas that were given to other cell phone carriers.
The letter on Thursday was co-signed by the nine Republicans who were surveilled, and every Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), one of those whose call data was tracked, said Joe Biden’s FBI was “rotten to the core.”
Biden’s FBI was rotten to the core—leftist bureaucrats spied on 8 Senators because we support @realDonaldTrump.
