Explosive new details have emerged this week surrounding Operation Arctic Frost, a sweeping Biden Justice Department effort critics say was designed to target Republicans for the “crime” of questioning the 2020 presidential election results.
Democrats have long used the same process to challenge elections — in 1969, 2001, 2005, and most famously in 2017, when some cited the debunked Steele Dossier in an attempt to undermine President Trump’s victory. Yet, no Democrat ever faced prosecution for doing so. Under the First Amendment and the Electoral Count Act of 1887, members of Congress have the constitutional right to raise objections about election fairness and certification.
Unjustified Surveillance and Secret Orders
Despite no evidence linking those targeted under Arctic Frost to the January 6 Capitol riot, Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy AG Lisa Monaco, former FBI Director Christopher Wray, and Special Counsel Jack Smith reportedly embarked on a massive fishing expedition against Trump allies — including campaign officials, members of Congress, and the Republican Attorneys General Association.
Under the leadership of FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley revealed shocking internal memos that expose the Biden administration’s overreach. Among the most disturbing revelations: Jack Smith allegedly sought the phone records of nine Republican senators, a move with no apparent legal justification.
Even more troubling, Smith is said to have subpoenaed AT&T to monitor the office line of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). The telecom giant refused the order on legal advice but was barred from disclosing the request due to a secrecy order by D.C. Judge James Boasberg, appointed under President Obama. Boasberg claimed disclosure could jeopardize evidence, but experts say his actions may have violated federal statutes protecting members of Congress from such surveillance.
Boasberg has faced criticism before — including for ordering the return of planes carrying Tren de Aragua gang members, allegedly compromising national security operations. Many Republicans are now calling for his impeachment.
Grand Jury Developments and Legal Pushback
While frustration grows over delays in accountability, federal procedures take time. Miami U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones has reportedly empaneled two new grand juries, including one in Fort Pierce, Florida, expected to examine the controversial Mar-a-Lago raid and related constitutional issues involving Trump and his associates under 18 U.S.C. § 241.
Delays are also tied to motions from former officials like James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, who are fighting charges on grounds of “vindictive prosecution.” Their claims, if upheld, could lead to lengthy appeals possibly reaching the Supreme Court.
Special Counsel Jack Smith’s attempt to fast-track Trump’s D.C. case was rebuffed by the high court, reinforcing that due process outweighs political expedience. As one judge noted, “It is better to do it right than to do it twice.”
Accountability Underway
Patel and Bongino, now working under Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche, have taken decisive action. More than ten senior figures and five case agents tied to Arctic Frost have been terminated. Several, including Walter Giardina, have since filed wrongful termination suits that will take time to resolve.
Law and Order Priorities Continue
Beyond the Arctic Frost probe, Patel and Bongino have acted on long-standing congressional demands, releasing long-suppressed documents about the 2017 shooting targeting House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and other Republican lawmakers.
Meanwhile, federal agencies have ramped up enforcement across the board. The FBI has seized enough fentanyl to kill over 127 million Americans, confiscated 190,000 kilograms of cocaine and 8,000 kilograms of meth, and removed more than 6,000 illegal weapons from U.S. streets. Violent crime arrests are reportedly up 100%, gang arrests 200%, child predator arrests 10%, and human trafficking arrests 15%. Four of the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted have been captured — compared to none in 2024.
Justice Is Coming
Bondi, Blanche, Patel, and Bongino — themselves once targets of political lawfare — are now leading the charge for justice. Their mission: hold accountable those who weaponized federal power for partisan gain.
Patience, they insist, will pay off. As the investigation unfolds, supporters believe justice for those who orchestrated this campaign is inevitable — and the truth about Operation Arctic Frost will finally come to light.
