This is a much bigger scandal than the media can wrap their arms around, and it is a little frustrating.
As we have repeatedly outlined, FBI spying operations in 2015/2016 shifted into FBI operation “Crossfire Hurricane,” that shifted into FBI operations with Robert Mueller, that shifted into FBI operations with impeachment, that shifted into FBI operations with J6 targeting aka “Arctic Frost,” that shifted into FBI operations with Jack Smith. It is all part of one long continuum.
Now the FBI is releasing information that Arctic Frost also resulted in the surveillance of members of Congress. The phone records of several members of Congress were part of the Arctic Frost operation.

FOX NEWS – Former Special Counsel Jack Smith was allegedly tracking the private communications and phone calls of nearly a dozen Republican Senators as part of his investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots, Fox News Digital has learned.
A document, reviewed by Fox News Digital, revealed that Smith and his “Arctic Frost” team investigating Jan. 6 were allegedly tracking the phone calls of GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and GOP Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania.
The document, recently discovered by FBI Director Kash Patel and exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, is titled “CAST Assistance” and dated Sept. 27, 2023. “CAST” refers to the FBI’s cellular analysis survey team.
The document, which has the names of FBI agents involved redacted, marks the case ID as “ARCTIC FROST—Election Law Matters—SENSITIVE INVESTIGATIVE MATTER—CAST.” (read more)
It is somewhat frustrating that it is taking this much time for the FBI to locate the evidence of the weaponization we all know exists.
FBI operation Arctic Frost was targeting anyone who was supportive of President Trump, and the concerns around the stolen 2020 election outcome. This was the objective of the massive surveillance effort that included warrants against the electronic records of Congress and private citizens.
The results of this massive data collection were then sent to the J6 Committee for exploitation and targeting. The J6 committee deleted much of the information. Jack Smith then took over.
More soon…
Jack Smith is like Waldo, except that he is everywhere.In this thing!
He is a communist mercenary, hired to do what he knows, CRIME
If “Smith” is his real name!
Kinda like Agent Smith in The Matrix!
He reminds me of the villain General Zod in one of the Superman movies Christopher Reeves started in.
It seems like this is the same dribble dribble of information that we got from Bondo Barr and Wray. Just a tid bit here and there to make us think something was going to happen.
All we need now is for Kash to go on Hannity along with John Solomon and we’ll have the real life version of Groundhog Day.
It’s stuff like this which makes you understand why dictators like Stalin had gulags and murderous purges.
Or, in Hollywood terms, “I say we dust off, nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”
They’ll never admit it, but that was where all this J6 baloney was heading: justification for the gulags and assassinations to follow.
If we don’t crush and completely eliminate them, they will come with a vengeance that this world has never seen before.
No one knows this better than President Trump. I trust that he will defeat this evil scourge.
Oh you mean my mother the prison guard 99% of honorable rank & file fbi Hannity? These morons are nothing if not consistent. Notice Bongino has been quieter. Is it possible he’s seen the corruption up close and is finally figuring out the entire organization is not redeemable?
Said it before Bongino will be back on radio in January, probably with a gag order of his time in office.
He is just fighting above his weight class.
He joined that big club!
Jack Smith for Make the Gallows Great Again
Make drawing and quartering great again.
Any thoughts on a Vlad the Impaler vector?
Tar and feathers
Defenestration
I don’t want to be like the Left wishing death upon my enemies. I think a better and more MAGA punishment would be for them to be tried, convicted, and then serve out their sentences with a TV just out reach alternately reporting on MAGA victories and playing Charlie Kirk videoes 24/7 and with only a Bible to read.
Hear, Hear!
Make street lamps ornamental again.
Senator Tuberville said it just came out that 17 senators had their phones tapped by Joe Biden through Jack Smith.
Shocking!
Or, it would be if they hadn’t passed shocking so long ago.
And they can’t find any crimes that Letitia James has committed.
Yea, but Letitia has rights!
And the rest are all whites…
after all we’ve seen, I think it would be unwise to not assume FBI has files and surveillance on everyone in Congress and anyone else of importance or influence in and around DC. and until proven otherwise it should be assumed that this has been going on and has never ceased since J Edgar Hoover.
You bet. Today’s FBI just has more sophisticated equipment and the Patriot Act to work with.
Justice Scalia was convinced the SCOTUS was spied upon as well.
I would be more shocked if it was revealed that no senators had their phones tapped!
So can we assume the untracked republican members of congress were not a danger to the deep state?
and Linsey was?? what a strange world we live in
Senator Graham, for whatever reasons, moves in-and-out of President Trump’s orbit on a regular basis. Having Graham under surveillance is a direct line to the president.
So, is Graham an FBI informant, or is the FBI just exploiting an opportunity.
The No Such Agency has copies of every electronic communication for anything stored in that big ass multi-building in Utah.
No Such Agency LOL
We even talked about the FBI and NSA collecting Congressional Phone data here on CTH.
Recall that the January 6 Commission publicly threatened these very same members of Congress, based on information collected from their phones …. this is a massive “Duh” moment for Kash and gang.
We, here on CTH even saw it and heard the threats made by members of the Commission.
Don’t be surprised if between the spying by the JoeBama DoJ and now the wacko violent statements by democrats … the Uni-Party Republicans start thinking about survival and maybe act accordingly. The democrats have more than a few times, recently, stated in public that ALL republicans doing anything supportive v/v President Trump will be subject to the “re-weaponized” DoJ.
Kash Patel is the John Durham of FBI directors. He is there to manage the “limited hangout” and confirm just enough of what us citizens already know without doing any damage the weaponized operational capacity of the FBI. In reality, the FBI needs to be burned to the ground as an institution, but might as well hope for the sun to rise in the west. Kash Patel is part of the problem, and citizens should start treating him as such, with maximum frequency and volume.
I have to take issue with your analysis. Not that I am a fan of Krash, but i dont think you or I would be doing any better with the FBI. if they have super secret files, they can easily hide them from a new director. how much stuff was destroyed in burn bags that we’ll never know about? they have secrets that they would kill to keep.
it must be taken down from the outside, not the inside. starting with funding. and congress wont defund them. congress is captured. the people have to defund Congress.
We wouldn’t be promoting the worst of the worst like Kash has .
No. Kash is failing at the most central element of what he OUGHT to be doing. I wrote about this 6-7 months ago.
He should have long ago given one simple speech and required every FBI employee to listen:
“The FBI is corrupt to the core. Many, perhaps most, of you were willing participants to multiple frauds, fake investigations, raids, and other unlawful activities intended to accomplish one simple goal: overthrow a government you disagree with on policy, and work tirelessly to ensure PDJT – and his supporters – would be jailed. I’m here to find out who you people are, and I’m here to ensure you never again are in a position to endanger this country. Lest you think the criminal behaviors of your colleagues were an aberration, I give you the USA Gymnastics rapes, which took place – were ALLOWED to take place – with the full knowledge of the FBI. And just like the FBI’s persecution of PDJT, your FIRST REACTION, the DEFAULT reaction? To lie.””
7 months later and he has never given any version of that speech.
Instead, he defends a corrupt and criminal enterprise.
Yep.
Don’t forget Bondi. She is the leader of this charade (I mean parade.)
I guess we sort of look at this behavior as just more of the “Russia Collusion Hoax” but I bet in 2023 this is more trying to keep a lid on the J6 fedsurrection – even now they’re pretending that the whole operation was something other than what it really was.
While the government is shut down Trump should use the opportunity to fire the entire FBI/DOJ ! Then outsource the operation to allies when it’s funded again.
LIKE that idea ^^ cuz it is painfully obvious that Bondi/Patel/Bongino/Blanche are NOT capable of doing what needs to be done.
Extremely poor choices for several of the most important positions in the administration and unless PDJT fires Bondi, we will not see justice.
Dear MS AG Bondi .. this is illegal activity.
Um … maybe Ed Martin??? He is the guy focused on January 6 Commission actions.
What has Ed Martin done that Kash or Bondi hasn’t? Just another guy in a trench coat singing blah blah blah.
This is another one of those times when you almost kinda wish we were more like Democrats…just start arresting people and getting mug shots and throwing them in prison solitary confinement waiting for a trial that will never come.
That being said, put this in the bin along with all the other stuff that won’t get prosecuted. Half the country still believes the fantasy that Jack Smith was a legitimate prosecutor pursuing real crimes.
A little mixed on this one. The GOPe clearly doesn’t care about illegal searches of our coms or that of President Trump, but…
When it’s them, they might actually engage. Kinda think that’s what brought Rubio around.
You are more than generous. I would say at least 40% of this country has no idea who Jack Smith is. Of the remainder half of them believe the fantasy.

“In other words,” Grassley said, “Arctic Frost wasn’t just a case to politically investigate Trump. It was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus.”
I wish these traitorous FBI agents would offend Israel so Trump would do something about it.
Israel is not running the US governemt Israel is not running President Trump. Prove me wrong.
Maybe not, but they are controlling the censorship. Prove me wrong.
Well, that is what Nentenaheu is running around saying – that he owns Trump, Trump will do whatever Bibi tells him to do. etc.
Oh puleeeze
The is beyond outrageous! I wonder if the Senators will finally do something to bring the FBI to heel.
There’s no statute of limitations that applies to Christopher Wray for this matter.
Six ways from Sunday.
It is more frustrating that you can still hear more about developments with the ‘Maryland Dad’ than these outrages.
Here in TN I have been inclined to label both Blackburn and Hagerty as globalists, RINO, hacks. Information like this report causes me to pause and reconsider.
Mushy Marsha is just there for the power and spotlight. She’s not there to actually accomplish anything. She loves being on Fox. Haggerty is like the missing man. Does he ever DO anything?
But you can look forward to Mushy Marsha being our next Governor. It’s already baked in.
Glad I am not alone in my negative feelings. They also extend to “China” Lee and most of his administration and most of of our Legislature. Sometimes the only solid person seems to be the AG. That said I am somewhat respectful that Blackburn and Hagerty were worthy of special targeting.
Stay and and sane friend.
You are not alone. In the county I reside, we have a MAGA group. District 7 US House is up for grabs and the outside money and endorsements are for the RINO guy Reeves. The true MAGA guy Barrett is being trashed with hundreds of thousands in spending. You know the true MAGA by the amount of negative ads.
Actually Sen Blackburn is a smart cookie. She is not mushy. Remember her question to Biden Supreme Court Nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, “What is a Woman?” Miss Brown could not answer that question,
So Democrats call Republicans “a threat to democracy”, Hitler, etc. The Democrats Party led by Pres. Biden’s administration, are operating like the Gestapo and the former KGB. Spying on Americans, spying on Republican members of Congres, prosecuting people who don’t agree with Democrats dogma, making false accusations, false submissions to the FISA court, destroying evidence, unauthorized access by ‘contractors of files, raiding the home of President Trump, two assassination attempts on the life of Pres. Trump, mass murder of children by leftist Trans activists, the assassination if Charlie Kirk, Democrat candidate for Virginia AG threatening to kill a Republican Va. politician and murder his children.
The Democrats Party is wicked, not the party of JFK.
Why? What do you think they will actually do about it? They will Gowdy this for awhile and then get back to get along to go along.
I think your first impulse was the best impulse.
Marsha was quick to want us to move on from the 2020 theft.
She also gave NO Help to J6ers. We had a UK soldier that wanted to get papers to stay in the US and Marsha talked but did nothing. She is a poser, might be fine for the Senate but Governor is a hands on doing job. She is a talker.
Which of those Senators are members of the Democommunist Party?
All Republicans.
The weaponization could not be more obvious.
Tear it to shreds.
Still waiting
Info about Arctic Frost released at the same time as: Shutdown, Gaza Peace talks, Venezuela attacks, Insurrection, etc. All at once with more to come. Good timing to fire ammo in multiple directions. Also precious metals price spike. Other crises reaching their maximum conflict. Timing may be essential here, like a well planned explosion.
Surely Kash will fire these agents that spied on Congress.
Surely?
Only the agents named Shirley.
The rest are free to go.
Our Kash Ain’t Nuthin’ but trash……
Why would we think some version of this is not still going on?
Oh my gosh, we can’t have that!!
Former and current presidents: ok to spy on
Citizens guilty of pre-crimes and wrong-think: ok to spy on
Judges: ok to spy on
Congressmen: NO!!!!!! What kind of world do we live in???
Some are more equal than others in Congressmen’s eyes.
After all, they are important people evidenced by their preening in the media.
It is another “so what” by the Democrats. There has been no accountability or consequences for countless number of crimes, and it continues. They ignore the President who they hate, they ignore the Supreme Court, they ignore Congress. They continue to do whatever they want.
Trump –> Wiles – Bondi – Patel – Bongino
I am shocked, shocked I tell you, to learn about this weaponization of justice. Simply shocking.
Stunning…but not surprising…
Who gave the order to spy on these names?
What agents were assigned?
Was the purpose not only for the J6 committee sham but was or contemplated for future blackmail against these Senators a la Epstein?
The way this is going…it will be soon revealed that the Fib’s were involved in Butler…
Sundance, I just wish you could sit down over 5 cups of coffee with Kash and Pam. How is it that one person can connect the dots and TEAMS of people can’t? How can Kash be this ignorant? He was in the machine! Com’n!!
.
Patel gave this stuff to Faux. Journalists are supposed to ask questions, who what where when why and how, and wth are you doing about this — not just go “oh golly gee tsk tsk look at our ‘scoop’aren’t we great more at 9”.
.
The problem is not “ignorance”.
Drip, drip, drip. Who’s operating that leaky faucet? And why won’t they turn it on?
I’ll just repeat myself: “This isn’t opposition research – this is stalking.” You are gathering information about anyone and everyone that you can, literally and only because “you can.”
We really can’t fathom just how completely “1984” proved to be true. We have no idea just how thoroughly “Big Brother Is Watching You.” Until we see how people shamelessly abused these powers, in ways that many people would properly refer to as “mental illness.” Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder and all of that.
You want phone call records just to identify more people that you can begin to obsessively “track.” Rinse and repeat.
A link to the making of Arctic Frost. Grassley’s office. Did Jack add Trump after the DOJ and FBI gave approval? Chuck wants to know.
“Was Trump still removed as an investigative subject? If so, which Justice Department and FBI officials – other than Jack Smith – later added him for prosecution.”

So when do the treason trials start? Three letter clubs shuttered, buildings raised and earth salted?
No club fed, real consequences.
A Dirty Bastard!
Personally I got no problem with anyone and everyone spying on congress. They deserve it. Lawmakers who let lawfare run anok against President Trump.
It’s like a fricking lawfare relay team…
The FBI is still imbedded with deep state operatives. If they were hired or trained under Mueller, Comey, or Wray they are probably compromised. That includes, uh…everyone.
They have stolen so much from our great country. It really is sad, the haters are schemers and our side just takes it. We are so running out of time. Our country is rotten. Leftist commies are a cancer
For years we’ve said the Obama and Biden regimes were not presidential administrations but criminal gangs, but golly! They just keep proving it!
At what point are the slightly less compromised members of Congress going to finally get their knickers in a knot over all of this information? Or are they all so hopelessly compromised nothing is going to come of it? Honestly, I fear it is the latter!!
Never fear. Kash Patel assures that this will never happen again.
This is a classic CCE operation…involving at least 60 major actors ..in highest levels of WH…Fbi…Doj ..CIA..many non govt allies…and at least 10 top connected journos… Started with exoneration of hildebeast over her illegal home server thru the end of Biden admin….no statute on a CCE prosecution..
The Kingpin Statute, formally known as the Continuing Criminal Enterprise (CCE) statute, represents a pivotal aspect of federal drug law aimed at dismantling large-scale drug trafficking operations.
Seems maybe RICO would be more appropriate.
This is why judges have embraced lawfare, why Newsom, Pritzker and Johnson make threats, why Portland and Chicago PD won’t respond, and why Antifa operates openly. They know there will be no consequence.
Many members of congress on both sides have known for years but don’t care. The money is just too good.
These last two CTH articles are depressing. The Ellison TikTok takeover and the CBS hijacking by nefarious forces are bad enough. But this Jack Smith revelation takes the cake.
It seems as if POTUS is being distracted by other less-threatening things. (Some antifa activity that doesn’t arise to the level to where it was in the George Floyd months. Plus Hamas/Israel about which I couldn’t care less. And the shutdown stalemate, which can be handled by his subordinates who can do the necessary trimming of the bureaucracy.)
It seems as if we’ve lost the momentum that was there right after Charlie Kirk’s death and things are rudderless.
.
And a lot of Negative Nellies with no information who like to make extreme statements of “fact” not preceded by anything such as “I’m guessing…” or “I wonder if…”
.
I think there was some drift but they righted it a little with the Ukraine position and Gaza negotiations. They have to lead boldly and take the action to everyone or the bad guys (including/especially our friends and allies) will have them running in circles.
I doubt this is a surprise to many of us here, but it’s glad to see it admitted publicly. What I’m waiting for is the list of names of celebrities and those working in the media who were also illegally surveilled. I think exposing those names might raise enough hackles to have this past behavior covered by them and the perps actually prosecuted.
And Jack is also an international extortionist who should have been locked up many years ago and not one damn thing will become of his Unconstitutional Act.
Congress will just shrug their shoulders and allow him to walk and Blondi will flick her hair.
Russia had Lavrentiy Beria.
We have Jack Smith, aka Lavrentiy Beria 2.0.
Always gotta redact the truth while their agenda is full of lies
