New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted by a Virginia grand jury on a federal charge of bank fraud. [INDICTMENT HERE]

WASHINGTON — New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat who has clashed with President Donald Trump, was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury in Virginia, three sources familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News.

James was charged with one count of bank fraud after Trump publicly called for his Justice Department appointees to bring charges against her.  The case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Jamar K. Walker, a Biden appointee. (more)

Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., demand accountability as evidence behind the FBI ‘Arctic Frost’ operation starts to surface.  Slowly at first, then suddenly….

Johnson and Schmitt are not bad actors, nor are they operating in bad faith.  Both Senators are honest, patriotic and sincere.  Both are also inside the system.  Both Johnson and Schmitt are bound by the ‘schoolhouse rock’ customs and norms that frame their perspective of our constitutional republic.

We do not like being disagreeable, but we no longer can accept a demand that we adhere to rules that only apply to the behavior of the victim, not the abusers.   The ‘strongly worded letter‘ approach is useless.

Appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity (but of course) FBI Director Kash Patel states he has begun to focus his efforts on clearing out the DC-based FBI officials and agents who are working on a subversive agenda to harm the American system of law and order.

While defending the integrity of the institution that permitted their existence, Patel says his new leadership model is addressing the career FBI embeds.  Prior to his Hannity appearance Patel noted, “They tracked the communications of GOP Senators. They weaponized law enforcement against the American people. That era is over. We fired those who acted unethically, dismantled the corrupt CR-15 squad, and launched an investigation. ”  WATCH:

At today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), a man who was also targeted by the FBI Arctic Frost surveillance operation, demanded answers from Attorney General Pam Bondi.  WATCH:

Senator Ted Cruz (R-Sea Isl) has become a parody of himself as he takes dramatic acting to new levels during his monologues.  Apparently, Senator Cruz and CBS’s Margaret Brennan have the same acting coach.

That said, I’ve cut to the chase on part of the Cruz question that matters as he asks AG Bondi about the investigation into the Supreme Court leaker of the Dobbs decision. [::cough:: Sheldon Snook ::cough::]  WATCH:

The question that matters comes up before things go off the rails.  Senator Hirono asks Attorney General Pam Bondi about the reauthorization of FISA-702, that will be needed when the authority expires next year.

The attorney general is clueless about the issue.  Bondi literally has to read her answer as prepared for her.  I’m not kidding, watch Pam Bondi’s response (prompted):

.

If FISA-702 did not exist, the quasi-constitutional justification for the wholesale collection of U.S. citizen metadata no longer exists.  It really is that simple.

There is ZERO justification for the capture of U.S. citizen data by the government. The capture itself violates the Fourth Amendment.   The only way the government can justify the capture of U.S. Citizen data is if there is some quasi-constitutional or national security reason for it.

Take away “702”, and the data collection collapses; ANY “incidental” search of the database then loses any plausible legal justification.  702 is the camel’s nose under the tent.

Republican senators react to finding out the Biden administration FBI was conducting political surveillance using operational Arctic Frost as the predicate.

Senator Haggerty puts the “Arctic Frost” program into context by noting the FBI was conducting surveillance of him during 2016 under “Crossfire Hurricane” when Haggerty and others were part of the Trump transition team. However, the pearl-clutching is a little ironic considering there are thousands of private sector targets who were swept up during these FBI operations. WATCH:

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.

Friend of the Treehouse John Spiropoulos has put together a series of videos explaining how President Obama, FBI Director James Comey and CIA Director John Brennan constructed a coverup to hide their political surveillance operation. Today there are two video segments that deserve focus. 

RUMBLE Link ONE and Two.  YouTube Link ONE and Two

From the perspective of Obama, Comey and Brennan, expanding Hillary Clinton’s Trump-Russia collusion narrative was the key element to hide the activity of the administration prior to the November 2016 election.  That’s the motive for the FBI and CIA to collaborate on the agenda after the shocking outcome of the 2016 election result; but pay close attention to the activity of the primary “at risk” official, James Comey.

The December ’16 Joint Analysis Report (JAR), and the January ’17 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), were fabricated to enhance a spying coverup. Spiropoulos has taken the time to put the deconstruction of the ICA into a simple to follow video format.  Two parts below:

The next segment is below. Pay particular attention to the person who actually triggered the cancellation of the December 9, 2016, Presidential Daily Brief. It wasn’t Obama, it was James Comey.
