‘This is not oversight’: Legal team launches demand for EVERY detail of Dem agenda to spy on Republicans

When the Joe Biden administration spied on Republican senators, what information was collected?

Who authorized it?

What was the political ideology behind the scheme?

These questions are more are now the subject of a new Freedom of Information Act demand that insists on the release of “every record” related to the Democrats’ spy-on-Republicans agenda.

“Backed by leading U.S. senators, the ACLJ is spearheading a historic effort to restore justice in American,” explained the American Center for Law and justice. “Those senators standing alongside the ACLJ include Lindsey Graham (SC), Ted Cruz (TX), Marsha Blackburn (TN), Cynthia Lummis (WY), Bill Hagerty (TN), and Tommy Tuberville (AL).”

All are supporting the demands, the ACLJ said.

The action is a result of some of the recent revelations about the scandalous behavior on the part of the Biden administration and its special counsel, Jack Smith, who now also is being investigated.

“The American people deserve answers. Every day it becomes clearer that this wasn’t a legitimate investigation – it was a massive and politically motivated fishing expedition,” the legal team explained.

“We recently learned that Smith abused his prosecutorial power to spy on at least eight sitting U.S. senators and hundreds of prominent conservatives and groups. He unconstitutionally subpoenaed the phone records of these senators, including some of the most vocal defenders of liberty and due process in Washington, in the Arctic Frost investigation he took over from the FBI,” the ACLJ said by way of background.

“When the executive branch spies on the legislative branch, it not only threatens the constitutional separation of powers, but it also confirms that the Biden-Garland Justice Department was weaponizing the government and targeting political opponents under the guise of law enforcement. This is not oversight. It’s overreach.”

The organization said, “Those responsible for this unconstitutional attack on liberty must be held accountable. At the ACLJ, we’ve seen what happens when unchecked power is allowed to fester. We fought and won FOIA battles against the Biden DOJ. Now, we’re going to do everything we can to help the Trump administration, along with the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, expose what Jack Smith did during Arctic Frost.

“If they can spy on sitting U.S. Senators, they will spy on you.”

The scheme assembled by Democrats under Barack Obama and Joe Biden first tried to falsely link Trump to Russia, using made-up claims sponsored by Hillary Clinton. Then the Democrats launched a series of lawfare cases against Trump and other Republicans, and used Arctic Frost to spy on their constitutionally protected statements and comments.

It was FBI chiefs Kash Patel and Dan Bongino who confirmed that Smith “was tracking the private communication of 8 GOP U.S. senators.”

Online commentary has suggested Smith was scheming to file more lawfare cases against Trump and Republicans had Kamala Harris won the White House, and accessing their communications records was a preliminary step in naming them in charges.

Harris, of course, lost by landslide proportions in the popular vote and the Electoral College.

Explained the ACLJ, “So not only was the Deep State going after President Trump, but it was going after conservative members of Congress. Such a shocking revelation should be the top headline on every mainstream media outlet. It should also put Congress on high alert that a Special Counsel was going after them.”

ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow called the scenario out “outrage.”

“I want everybody to put this into context. Could you imagine if it were a different situation and the DOJ under President Trump was spying on six Democratic senators? What would the reaction be? . . . Why in the world did Jack Smith try to get the phone records of a co-equal branch of government – senators and a member of the House of Representatives – for what purpose?”

He said, “This action by Jack Smith just typifies what was going on with the weaponization of the DOJ.”

And since the records were accessed just before the 2024 election, “Obviously, Smith and the Biden DOJ were engaging in election interference.”
