Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson released 30 pages of documents today outlining how the Jack Smith investigation “Arctic Frost” was used to capture records of former Trump administration officials [SEE HERE].
In addition to information showing how Jack Smith was collaborating and strategizing with DC Judge James Boasberg in advance of the subpoena submissions, literally strategizing how best to target Donald Trump, there is something even more interesting in the release.
Many people have wondered why FBI Director Kash Patel seems compromised since he took office. Well, the FBI subpoena into then civilian Kash Patel, highlights the extent of the FBI operation as they gathered background intelligence that could be used for blackmail and leverage over the eventual FBI Director.
As noted by Hans Manche: “It didn’t just ask for Kash Patel’s phone records, it asked for everything he did from 2020 to 2023. Just to name a few, they requested all usernames and screen names, every address and email, complete billing and payment details including credit card and bank account numbers, every device ID, and a full log of every call, text, and voicemail showing who was contacted, when, and for how long. They also obtained all internet session data, including the exact IP addresses. So, this wasn’t just about who Kash called. It was basically a complete view of his entire life, mapping his daily routines, travel, relationships, finances, and even tracking the specific hardware he used. In short, they got a full digital shadow of his life.”
Yep, that’s how the FBI operates.
That’s how the FBI establishes leverage against anyone they view against their interests.
Now does the activity of FBI Director Kash Patel look a little differently with hindsight?
Here’s the part where the internal DOJ discussions reveal the Jack Smith prosecution team coordinating and strategizing with DC Circuit Court Judge James Boasberg and Judge Beryl Howell:
In March 2023, when I wrote the outline about Judge Boasberg being the corrupt DC judge who broke the constitutional restrictions on executive privilege, which technically forced Mike Pence to turn over his notes and testify to James Smith and the DC grand jury, I said at the time, “The entire judicial system is corrupt, soup to nuts, all of it.” I was not using hyperbole.
This is the same Judge Boasberg who sat as presiding judge on the FISA court. The same Judge Boasberg who gave FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith a slap on the wrist for manufacturing evidence used in the Carter Page FISA application that defrauded the court. The same Judge Boasberg who appointed former DOJ-NSD head Mary McCord as amicus curiae advisor to the court, after she knowingly and fraudulently submitted the FISA application to the court.
Four years ago, while Judge Boasberg was on the FISA Court, I warned about the implications of all these interconnected judicial dots. The entire DC federal bench is compromised. The entire judiciary of the FISA Court process is compromised. The entire federal judicial system is compromised. Then we witnessed the stunning scale and scope of that same DC judicial corruption in the fraudulent case against President Donald Trump.
Former FISA Court Presiding Judge James Boasberg is no longer on the FISC. However, he continues to advance the interests of the DC Deep State with rulings specifically tailored to protect the national security state. [Boasberg Background Here]
Boasberg, an ally of SSCI Chairman Mark Warner, has intercepted several cases that brought sunlight upon the corrupt DC system. In each case Boasberg ruled in favor of maintaining the corruption, including his willfully blind support of the FBI searching NSA databases to conduct illegal surveillance of Americans, and including Boasberg’s personal appointment of Mary McCord to run defense on behalf of the corrupt DOJ main office. Keep in mind, Mary McCord’s husband Sheldon Snook was working for Supreme Court justice John Roberts.
