I forgot to write about this yesterday. This week has been weird for me. I think it’s the weather change!
Anyway!
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley revealed that former Special Counsel Jack Smith targeted over 400 Republicans during his Arctic Frost investigation:
The subpoenas, which were provided to Grassley through legally protected whistleblower disclosures, were sent to 34 individuals and 163 businesses. These 197 subpoenas requested testimony, communications and records related to at least 430 named Republican individuals and entities. Some of the records Smith subpoenaed from banks, individuals and businesses included:
- Communications with media companies such as CBS, Fox News, Fox Business, Newsmax, Sinclair and others.
- Communications with “any member, employee or agent of the Legislative Branch of the U.S. Government.”
- Communications with White House advisors, such as Stephen Miller, Dan Scavino, Jared Kushner, Lara Trump and others.
- Statistical data and analysis relating to donors and fundraising efforts.
- Broad financial data relating to conservative individuals and entities.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-NJ) described it as Biden’s “enemies list.”
Seriously. Everything they accuse Trump of doing is exactly what they did.
You’ll never guess who shows up in this chaos: Judge James Boasberg.
We already knew that Smith subpoenaed Cruz’s phone records.
Well, Cruz gave us more information.
Boasberg told AT&T not to tell Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) about the subpoena because he “would destroy or tamper with evidence.”
Boasberg has been in the headlines this past year because of his vendetta against President Donald Trump.
Cruz wants the House to impeach him.
Can you blame him? Boasberg is a leftist activist using his power to take down those he does not like.
It’s disgusting and appalling. It’s not just an abuse of power. It perverts the law.
Cruz went off on Boasberg:
One of those subpoenas went from Jack Smith to AT&T seeking my cell phone communications.It went to AT&T, and I actually want to commend AT and T for doing the right thing. AT&T is based in Texas. AT&T looked at that subpoena, and they went to their legal counsel and they said, “What should we do with that subpoena?”And their legal counsel said, “You cannot comply because this is protected by the Speech and Debate Clause of the US Constitution.” And so AT&T declined to comply, did not hand over my cell phone records.Now one might ask, ordinarily, a phone company being asked to hand over the phone records of a sitting senator would notify that Senator.Well, there was a reason. AT&T did not do so.Accompanying the subpoena was an order, which I have in my hand right here, an order that was signed by Judge James E Boasberg.Now, who is Boasberg? Boasberg is 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 from the voters.Judge Boasberg issued an order to AT&T, and signed that order prohibiting AT&T from informing me of this subpoena for at least one year. And Judge Boasberg gave the basis for that order, and I quote from the order Judge Boasberg signed, “the court finds 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.”That’s an order a judge signed. Now I can tell you right now there is precisely zero evidence to conclude that I am likely to destroy or tamper with evidence or to intimidate potential witnesses. Zero evidentiary basis for that, this order is an abuse of power. This order is a weaponized legal system.My assumption we don’t have the subpoenas that were issued for the other senators, but my assumption is Judge Boasberg printed these things out, like the placemats at Denny’s, one after the other 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 Schmidt would destroy evidence, and Chuck Grassley would destroy evidence if a litigant makes a claim for which there is no factual basis that litigant is subject to sanctions in federal court.
