The Biden administration's investigation into Donald Trump's 2020 election loss, known as the Arctic Frost probe, expanded significantly, targeting many conservatives and their organizations.
1. Scope of the Probe: The investigation aimed at 156 conservatives, including state Republican leaders and election integrity advocates.
2. Resources Used: The FBI, Department of Justice, and special counsel Jack Smith utilized substantial taxpayer money to gather personal cell phone data, conducted numerous interviews, and issued 197 subpoenas.
3. Accusations of Overreach: Senator Chuck Grassley criticized the probe as a “fishing expedition,” claiming the Biden administration improperly investigated the Republican Party. He highlighted that if similar actions were taken against Democrats, they would be outraged.
4. Targeted Individuals: List of targets includes Trump staffers and several current and former Republican officials, with many records heavily redacted.
5. Comparison to Past Scandals: Senator Ron Johnson described the investigation as worse than the Watergate scandal, asserting that it reflects politically motivated actions by the administration.
The findings indicate extensive investigations into conservative individuals and organizations, raising concerns about political bias within the government. Donald Trump criticized the investigators, calling them criminals.
