Saul Alinsky’s book, Rules For Radicals, has long been required reading for the crooked politicians in America who call themselves “Democrats.”  You know, those people who constantly call Republicans fascists, authoritarians, and existential threats to democracy.  The book is a primer for the carrying out of Democratic Party dirty tricks.  One of its tenets is, “accuse your opponents of doing that which you yourself are doing.”  Democrats have learned that lesson well.

They’re currently working themselves into a frenzy, complaining that the Trump Administration is “weaponizing the justice system for political purposes.”  This, of course, is strange, coming as it does from the Party that used federal and State justice systems to punish Trump and any of his supporters for the egregious crime of winning elections they had expected to win.

If I have to say it again, the Democrats engineered four bogus indictments of Trump, a civil suit designed to bankrupt Trump and his businesses, indictments of Trump allies and employees, and State attempts to remove Trump’s name from presidential ballots.  And, of course, they used the justice system to employ false and concocted information to engineer two phony impeachments and the appointment of a special counsel to investigate a Russian collusion scheme they knew to be phony.  In so doing, they utilized Justice Department lawyers, the FBI, the CIA, and a number of foreign intelligence agencies to overthrow the Trump 45 Administration.

But if you thought this was as low as the Democrats possibly could stoop, think again.  Previously hidden FBI records have exposed what is the most far reaching, outrageous, and clearly illegal breach of federal law and personal liberties in the history of our Republic.  Like all good clandestine government incursions on the Constitution and laws of the United States, it had a catchy FBI code name – Arctic Frost.

It was revealed last month that the Biden Administration Justice Department (and that’s a contradiction in terms) used Special Counsel Jack “The Knife” Smith to conduct an extensive, and secret, investigation of practically the entire Republican Party hierarchy, including activists connected to the GOP, public officials, slates of presidential electors, and government workers allegedly tied to events around the 2020 election.  Just one look at Smith should tell you he’s a vicious, sneaky prick –

What Smith did, with the blessings of FBI Director Wray, Attorney General Garland, Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden, and federal judge James Boasberg boggles the mind.  Smith issues at least 400 subpoenas for the telephone records of, not only the personal telephone of President Trump, but  at least 160 Republican elected officials, Administration officials, and others  people who supported Trump.  This permitted the Biden Administration to spy on members of Congress.

This list included Republican Senators Marsha Blackburn, Bill Hagerty, Rick Scott, Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, Dan Sullivan, Cynthia Lummis, all of whom used Verizon as their carrier.  You’ll note fake Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski was not included.  I guess they, based on her record, Smith didn’t recognize her as a Republican.  Verizon complied with the subpoenas.

A number of other Congresspeople, who use AT&T also were the subjects of telephone records subpoenas.  These subpoenas, like those issued to Verizon, lacked any criminal predicate.  In other words, the evidence necessary for their issuance, and instead represented a fishing expedition into the records of the people who get to decide the level of funding that the Justice Department should get.  This not only wasn’t smart, it was highly illegal.

How do I know this?  It’s very simple.  Jack Smith told us.  When the subpoenas of Congressional targets reached AT&T, that company inquired into the legal basis for their issuance.  Jack Smith backed off, and the subpoenas were never executed.  And for several good reasons.

Smith took his subpoenas to friendly Judge James Boasberg, an Obama appointee.  You may remember that he is the judge who continually does everything he can to defeat the Trump Administrations efforts to enforce immigration law by deporting criminal aliens, as U.S. law requires him to do.  Boasberg kept issuing nationwide injunctions to stop deportations, until the Supreme Court finally told him he shouldn’t be doing that sort of thing.

Boasberg included in the subpoenas a provision which prevented the phone companies from disclosing to the Congresspeople that their records were being seized,  citing “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.”  Translation – the Court told the companies that these elected officials could not be trusted to obey the very laws that they had enacted.

Federal law states that communications providers for Senate offices “shall not be barred, through operation of any court order or any statutory provision, from notifying the Senate office of any legal process seeking disclosure of Senate data.”  The House has similar legal protection.  The upshot is that, if records of elected officials are to be seized, the target of the subpoena must be informed.  The Boasberg orders violated this law.  In addition, even a United States District Judge should be aware that snooping into the private communications of members of Congress is an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers of the various branches of the government, the bedrock principle underlying our Republic.  One might even call it, an existential threat to our democracy, brought to you by your slimy friends in the Democrat Party.

Needless to say, the affected Congresspeople are quite unhappy with this revelation.  They don’t take kindly to people who tread on their grass, even when the intrusion is warranted.  Remember the Democrat House member from Louisiana whose office was searched with a search warrant shortly after Hurricane Katrina, yielding a refrigerator stuffed with cash?  Democrats loudly protested this serious breach of protocol.

And what are Democrats saying now about hundreds of unwarranted subpoenas?  Not a thing.  Funny how that works, isn’t it?  But it’s not funny.  Ted Cruz was one of the Senators whose records were subpoenaed, and he’s not happy.  “Merrick Garland was a fundamentally corrupt attorney general.  Jack Smith was a fundamentally corrupt prosecutor.  This was a political enemies list from the beginning.”  “Judge James E. Boasberg, that radical leftist judge who is out of control, who has been issuing nationwide injunctions one after the other trying to stop President Trump from carrying out his mandate for the voters.”

Article of impeachment for Boasberg have been filed in the House.  I don’t know how that exercise will go, or even that it should go on, but this scandal will not simply go away.  This was the worst abuse of political power in our history.  Operation Arctic Frost was an egregious affront to our system of government.  The Republicans are genuinely pissed, and heads should roll over this.  Democrats can’t be permitted to escape Arctic Frost.  Congress is investigating this outrage.  Winter is coming.
