Publicly vowing to maintain criminality where possible, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Monday signed an executive order limiting where federal law enforcement can assemble, prohibiting any/all crime fighting efforts from using city-owned spaces for law enforcement activities.
“In recent weeks, federal agents used several City-owned properties—including parking lots near Harrison and Kedzie, and a vacant lot at 46th and Damen—as staging sites for immigration enforcement,” the mayor’s office said in a release about the order. “Such use of City property undermines community trust and runs counter to Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance, which ensures that all residents—regardless of immigration status—can live, work, and seek services without fear.”

This is a much bigger scandal than the media can wrap their arms around, and it is a little frustrating.
As we have repeatedly outlined, FBI spying operations in 2015/2016 shifted into FBI operation “Crossfire Hurricane,” that shifted into FBI operations with Robert Mueller, that shifted into FBI operations with impeachment, that shifted into FBI operations with J6 targeting aka “Arctic Frost,” that shifted into FBI operations with Jack Smith. It is all part of one long continuum.
Now the FBI is releasing information that Arctic Frost also resulted in the surveillance of members of Congress. The phone records of several members of Congress were part of the Arctic Frost operation.
FOX NEWS – Former Special Counsel Jack Smith was allegedly tracking the private communications and phone calls of nearly a dozen Republican Senators as part of his investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots, Fox News Digital has learned.
A document, reviewed by Fox News Digital, revealed that Smith and his “Arctic Frost” team investigating Jan. 6 were allegedly tracking the phone calls of GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and GOP Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania.
The document, recently discovered by FBI Director Kash Patel and exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, is titled “CAST Assistance” and dated Sept. 27, 2023. “CAST” refers to the FBI’s cellular analysis survey team.
The document, which has the names of FBI agents involved redacted, marks the case ID as “ARCTIC FROST—Election Law Matters—SENSITIVE INVESTIGATIVE MATTER—CAST.” (read more)
It is somewhat frustrating that it is taking this much time for the FBI to locate the evidence of the weaponization we all know exists.
FBI operation Arctic Frost was targeting anyone who was supportive of President Trump, and the concerns around the stolen 2020 election outcome. This was the objective of the massive surveillance effort that included warrants against the electronic records of Congress and private citizens.
The results of this massive data collection were then sent to the J6 Committee for exploitation and targeting. The J6 committee deleted much of the information. Jack Smith then took over.

Former House Intelligence Committee Chairman, and current chair of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, Devin Nunes, appears on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the upcoming court appearance of former FBI Director James Comey.
Within the interview, Mr. Nunes outlines both how James Comey could be indicted for additional issues related to an ongoing conspiracy case, and also the reason why Comey will never be indicted for additional conspiracy charges.
The core of the disconnect, within the above paragraph, revolves around the central corrupt issue that James Comey conducted – the use of his office to conduct political surveillance.
In August 2016, the Obama administration, specifically the FBI, were concerned about the potential for discovery of their spying operation. In August 2022, the same FBI conducted a raid on Mar-a-Lago to ensure President Trump did not possess evidence of their spying operation. However, this motive must be avoided by those who are deciding what documentary trail they should be searching; so, they are not looking for it. WATCH:
The PIAB is looking at the Obama, Brennan and Comey motive through the wrong prism. The PIAB cannot look toward the correct prism, because the PIAB supports the national security justification for the process that permits FBI spying operations. The PIAB supports NSA metadata collection, as does the entire DC system.
PIAB members are: Devin Nunes, Chair; Scott Glabe, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, Brad Robert Wenstrup, Wayne Berman, Reince Priebus, Robert O’Brien, Joshua Lobel, Sander R. Gerber, Katie Miller, Jeremy Katz and Thomas Ollis Hicks, Jr.
How can James Comey be indicted for a conspiracy, when the people responsible for indicting him can never reveal the core issue behind the system James Comey weaponized?
From 2012 through April 2016, the Obama administration was spying on its political opposition, using the FBI to conduct surveillance through their access to the NSA database.
In April 2016, NSA Admiral Mike Rogers was alerted by the NSA compliance officer who noted the uptick in database access activity by the FBI searching the Republican Primary Candidate field.
Post April 2016, the Obama administration had a problem. Enter FBI operation “Crossfire Hurricane,” July 2016, in an effort to remove the political risk.
October 2016, the FBI rushes a FISA application through the FISC, circumventing the missing ‘Woods File’, with the Chris Steele dossier as evidence.
October 2016, NSA Director Rogers sends the first official notification of the FBI using the NSA database to the oversight body, the FISA Court.
December 2016, worried about Trump now discovering the NSA database spying, the Obama administration wraps the Clinton smear into official policy, blaming the Russians and validating Crossfire Hurricane.
May 2017, needing to extend the coverup of the FBI activity, special counsel Robert Mueller then takes over Crossfire Hurricane. All FBI evidence and personnel transfers to Mueller.
April 2019, Robert Mueller operation wraps up, prior activity coverup shifts to Impeachment process.
July 2019, John Durham kicks in extending DOJ/FBI control through 2020 election.
Fall 2020, mail-in ballots triggered to facilitate 2020 election outcome.
January 2021, FBI triggers Operation Arctic Frost, targeting Trump supporters and 2020 election researchers. FBI again using NSA database search queries to identify targeting.
March 2021, FBI Arctic Frost results fed to J6 Committee and DHS. TSA trigger “Quiet Skies” targeting via results from Arctic Frost.
It’s one long continuum of coverup activity within Main Justice and the FBI, supported by all other various agencies who operate in support. What are they covering up? The 2012 through 2016 political spying operation within the Obama administration, as carried out by the same Main Justice and FBI operations.
President Obama, James Comey and John Brennan know the DC apparatus that supports the national security state will never allow the people in charge of their inquisition to reveal the database collection system that forms the foundation of the modern national security state. That’s the reason for their collective arrogance and confidence.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune appears on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the current status of the government shutdown. As noted by Senator Thune, he will bring the Continuing Resolution bill to the Senate floor again on Monday, and see what happens.
Four times the radical wing of the Democrat party have refused to extend the short-term budget gap CR unless the Trump administration agrees to fund healthcare for illegal aliens and other Democrat priorities. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is reportedly worried about getting a leftist primary challenge and cannot permit the government to open. WATCH:

Friend of the Treehouse John Spiropoulos has put together a series of videos explaining how President Obama, FBI Director James Comey and CIA Director John Brennan constructed a coverup to hide their political surveillance operation.
From the perspective of Obama, Comey and Brennan, expanding Hillary Clinton’s Trump-Russia collusion narrative was the key element to hide the activity of the administration prior to the November 2016 election. That’s the motive for the FBI and CIA to collaborate on the agenda after the shocking outcome of the 2016 election result.
The December ’16 Joint Analysis Report (JAR), and the January ’17 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), were fabricated to enhance this larger coverup objective. Spiropoulos has taken the time to put the deconstruction of the ICA into a simple to follow video format.
For the next few days CTH will outline a series of videos that will walk through the deconstruction of the ICA narrative, which was the centerpiece for President Obama, James Comey and John Brennan to hide their prior surveillance operations. Today begins episode #1. “Obama Spies and Lies”
Remember, from a risk management perspective, initially the surveillance and spying operation was a low-risk endeavor. Obama held power and was going to hand off operations to Hillary. The Clinton administration would retain the officials who were doing the surveillance/spying, and no one would ever know.
Donald Trump was not expected to win the election. When he did, all of the participants were suddenly at risk. President Obama and every member of his cabinet involved in the spying operations, then used Clinton’s “Russiagate” smear to cover up Obama’s “Spygate” activity.
Expanded timeline below.
The IRS was used to identify targets 2011 and 2012, until discovered in April ’12. Suddenly, President Obama has a problem. President Obama then sends his Chief of Staff, Jack Lew, to run the IRS and block discoveries around the IRS weaponization.
From April 2012 through April 2016, the Obama administration then began spying on political opposition, using the FBI to conduct surveillance through their access to the NSA database.
In April 2016, NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers was alerted by the NSA compliance officer who noted the uptick in database access activity by the FBI searching the Republican Primary Candidate field.
Post April 2016 the Obama administration again had a problem. Enter FBI operation “Crossfire Hurricane,” July 2016, in an effort to remove the political risk.
October 2016, the FBI rushes a FISA application through the FISC, circumventing the missing ‘Woods File’, with the Chris Steele dossier as evidence.
October 2016, NSA Director Rogers sends the first official notification of the FBI, using the NSA database to the oversight body, the FISA Court.
December 2016, worried about Trump now discovering the NSA database spying, the Obama administration wraps the Clinton smear into official policy, blaming the Russians and validating Crossfire Hurricane. That’s where the Joint Analysis Report and Intelligence Community Assessment become critical.
May 2017, needing to extend the coverup of the FBI activity, special counsel Robert Mueller then takes over Crossfire Hurricane. All FBI evidence and personnel transfers to Mueller.
April 2019, Robert Mueller operation wraps up, and prior activity coverup shifts to Impeachment process.
July 2019, John Durham kicks in extending DOJ/FBI control through 2020 election.
Fall 2020, mail-in ballots triggered to facilitate 2020 election outcome. Install Joe Biden, shift to autopen administration, maintain Obama team influence and coverup objective.
January 2021, FBI triggers Operation Arctic Frost, targeting Trump supporters and 2020 election researchers. FBI again using NSA database search queries to identify targeting.
March 2021, FBI operation ‘Arctic Frost’ – results are fed to J6 Committee and DHS. TSA triggers “quiet skies” targeting via results from Arctic Frost.
It’s one long continuum of coverup activity within Main Justice and the FBI, supported by all other various agencies (CIA) who were operating in support.
Question: What were they covering up?
Answer: The original 2012 through 2016 political spying operation within the Obama administration, as carried out by the same Main Justice and FBI operators.
