Forget the Autopen Fiasco...This Is Joe Biden's Watergate
by Catherine Salgado, PJ Media.com, October 30, 2025
Biden-era Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith didn't only go after Donald Trump. Newly released files expose how he targeted the entire Republican leadership — over 430 individuals and organizations.
Smith was running a vast political surveillance/harassment campaign with the FBI against Republicans, stemming from the GOP Senate investigation into the Arctic Frost scandal. Hundreds of key figures and entities within the Republican Party and the MAGA movement were in Smith’s sights. Judge Aileen Cannon later ruled that the DOJ unconstitutionally appointed Smith. Among Smith’s targets were the Republican Attorneys General Association, Trump White House advisers, and Turning Point USA.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) announced at a GOP press conference today with Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) that Arctic Frost was “the vehicle by which FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus.” [Emphasis added.] You can find a link to the subpoenas in question on Grassley’s website.
Grassley said, “I’ve obtained [these] through legally protected whistleblower disclosures. 197 subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith and his team. These subpoenas were issued to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, including financial institutions.”🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Chuck Grassley drops BOMBSHELL - Jack Smith and the Biden FBI TARGETED conservative groups including Turning Point USA, 197 subpoenas have just been made public

The senator emphasized the magnitude of Smith’s scandal: “The subpoena requested records and communications related to over 430 individual and organizations — all of them appear to be aimed at Republicans.”
Smith looked for media communications and financial information. “Some subpoenas to individuals and businesses sought statistical data and analysis relating to donors and fundraising efforts,” Grassley explained. “Contrary to what Smith has said publicly, this was a fishing expedition.”
Earlier this month, Grassley revealed that the Biden FBI spied on Republican senators in an initiative weaponized by Smith and facilitated by Judge James Boasberg. But the spying was evidently exponentially more far-reaching than a handful of senators and President Trump.

Now that they personally become a target of Lawfare practices, suddenly the Senate wants to see some actionable accountability. Funny that.
After years of corrupt weaponization of his position, Judge James Boasberg is now outlined as having authorized the search warrants against the Arctic Frost targets which included nine Republican senators. Boasberg also wrote restraining orders forbidding the cell phone carriers from informing the targets of the corrupt search warrants.
Now senators Ted Cruz and Eric Schmitt are calling for House Speaker Mike Johnson to impeach James Boasberg. WATCH:
There is a long history of corruption from the bench by James Boasberg, specifically surrounding the effort to target Donald Trump in a host of DC court rulings, injunctions and affirmations from the judicial branch [SEE HERE – TAKE A SNICKERS]. However, now that it hits close to home, suddenly Congress is outraged.
Everything Senator Eric Schmitt and Ted Cruz say is accurate. But why did they ignore the long history of Boasberg’s activity? Schmitt statement below.
- Judge James Boasberg signed off on the ‘Arctic Frost’ search warrants against Congress.
- Boasberg issued blanket orders to the cell phone companies not to reveal the search warrants.
- Boasberg is a FISA Court Judge.
- Boasberg authorized one of the Carter Page title-1 surveillance warrants.
- Boasberg hired Mary McCord as amicus to the court.
- After appointing Mary McCord to take up a defensive position for herself and the FISA Court (cover), Judge Boasberg then becomes the presiding judge in the case against the FBI agent who falsified the FISA application, Kevin Clinesmith. Boasberg gives Clinesmith a slap on the wrist and a few months probation (more cover).
- Boasberg told John Durham (Bill Barr) allowing a target to escape prosecution is part of the penalty upon the DOJ for wrongful assembly of the FISA application; a nice way to cover the issue.
- This is the same Judge Boasberg who gave J6 FBI agent provocateur Ray Epps a sentence of probation.
- This is the same Judge Boasberg who established a horrible precedent by forcing Vice President Mike Pence to testify before a DC grand jury about his conversations with President Trump (breaking executive privilege).
- While on vacation, Boasberg attended the criminal indictment hearing of President Trump.
- Judge Boasberg issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking DHS, Customs and Border Patrol and ICE from deporting illegal aliens and narcotrafficking gang members belonging to Tren de Aragua (TdA), a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.
Smith has a myriad of scandals in his past — including accusations of witness payoffs and illegal wiretaps from former Rep. Rick Renzi (R-Ariz.). Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and other lawmakers recently referred Smith to the Trump-Bondi DOJ for prosecutorial misconduct.
“As part of Jack Smith’s weaponized witch hunt, the Biden DOJ issued subpoenas to several telecommunications companies in 2023 regarding our cell phone records, gaining access to the time, recipient, duration, and location of calls placed on our devices from January 4, 2021, to January 7, 2021,” the lawmakers said. “We have yet to learn of any legal predicate for the Biden Department of Justice issuing subpoenas to obtain these cell phone records.”
In the new press conference, Grassley insisted, “If this had happened to Democrats, they’d be as rightly outraged as we are outraged.” But it would not have happened to Democrats. We all know that there is one party that always violates the law to an inordinate degree in blatant political persecution.
