Quote:A new report released by House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan confirms Special Counsel Jack Smith coordinated with the Biden DOJ to spy on their political opposition.

Republicans released documents that revealed investigators improperly subpoenaed phone records that belonged to 44 GOP lawmakers during Jack Smith’s Arctic Frost investigation.

Jack Smith’s team also secured gag orders to prevent the GOP lawmakers from learning that Biden’s DOJ obtained their phone records.

House Republicans also released transcripts from five members of Jack Smith’s team.

Transcript from J.P. Cooney, a member of Jack Smith’s team, once again confirm coordination between the special counsel and the Biden White House.

“During your time at the Special Counsel’s Office, did you ever interact with the White House?” the GOP investigator asked JP Cooney.

“I did have some interactions with a staff member in the White House Counsel’s Office,” JP Cooney replied.

Press release from the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee:

During the Biden-Harris DOJ’s investigation of the 2020 election, codenamed Arctic Frost, and the subsequent Special Counsel investigation, investigators unconstitutionally subpoenaed phone records for over a dozen Republican Members of Congress and obtained gag orders to prevent the Members from knowing that the Biden-Harris Administration had obtained these records. Because the subpoenas and gag orders were obtained ex parte—meaning only the prosecutors presented to the grand jury and judge—the Members had no meaningful opportunity to challenge the Biden-Harris Administration’s actions.

The evidence available to the Committee shows that Special Counsel Smith’s team barely considered the constitutional protections surrounding this material—and to the extent that it did, it concluded that its subpoenas might be unconstitutional. Yet, Special Counsel Smith’s team forged ahead, issued the subpoenas, and at one point, violated the DOJ’s own procedures to review the content of private text messages between 44 Members of Congress and Executive Branch officials.

Arctic Frost investigators and Smith’s team paid no attention to the Constitution’s “absolute” bar on compelled disclosure of documents related to Members’ legislative acts. Special Counsel Smith and his prosecutors admitted that the gag order deprived Members of the chance to appear in court to assert their constitutional rights under the Speech or Debate Clause. As Special Counsel Smith admitted privately to Attorney General Merrick Garland, “members . . . likely have a valid Speech or Debate privilege immunizing them from compelled testimony.” Yet he, with Attorney General Garland’s blessing, issued subpoenas compelling the production of Members’ protected legislative records.

At best, these prosecutors ignored key legislative protections enshrined in the Constitution to guarantee that Members of Congress may freely deliberate on the questions of public policy. At worst—which seems likely in context with the other abuses of Special Counsel Smith’s office—these prosecutors weaponized their law-enforcement authority to violate a key constitutional provision to gather reams of information about their Administration’s political adversaries.

The abuses uncovered demand legislative reforms to prevent a future Jack Smith from similarly violating the Constitution. On July 15, 2026, the Committee passed H.R. 9098, the Congressional Records Protection Act, introduced by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA). The bill seeks to protect the separation of powers enshrined in the United States Constitution and end the weaponized surveillance of Members of Congress. The Committee will continue to pursue the truth about this critical set of events in our nation’s history.

Of course they did.

Ill take it y'all think that everyone who might be under investigation has the right to know that their records are being subpoenaed.

Neat ****. Letting the mob capos know will be real productive. letting the drug kingpins know for certain will be real productive as well. Lolz.

Hate to tell you, an investigator has plenty of leeway there, and has to get through a few roadblocks in the way. I guess your super duper tweet with everything included didnt mention that. Good show....

And Im impressed with the brains of the folks that translated the statement 'had contact with' directly and unabashedly to 'coordinated to spy'. Without really bothering to read the actual words in the transcript. Bravo. Double lolz.

Seriously dudes, you should *really* invest in some logic filters, and/or reading comprehension skill classes.

I guess Tang confirms he is a Nazi/totalitarian. Gets to randomly spy on the political opposition. Pretty certain Jack Smith and the Biden administration broke laws spying on 44(!) GOP lawmakers.

Tang is turning all of his posts into Babylon Bee material.

Nope. Maybe read and comprehend the process. Or dont. As you so aptly demonstrate above.

Yes, when one investigates a potentially illegal act based on phone calls, there is plenty of probable cause to register trap or metadata view the patterns. Duh.

Apparently you think that every step of an investigative process be revealed at the outset to everyone. If you think about that just an iota, you’d see the issue. Apparently you didn’t.

Somehow you boil that down to dipshit comment on Nazism. Cool cool. I’d suggest thinking about a subject —- *before* kneejerk crap shooting.

I know that’s a tougher thing than regurgitating rhetoric — but I’d suggest trying. Sound like a plan?

As for ‘your SURE JS violated the law’, I’d hazard a guess you’re sure mentioning the number 8647 is a crime, and Im sure you think anyone who challenged Trump in courts is a criminal of some sort.

Kind of the definition of cult idol worship…..

Mentioning that looking at metadata of phone calls regarding a potential crime involving phone calls is 'twist[ing] the law to fit their own agenda'?

Lolz.

You truly *are* a --special-- case. Double lolz. What an idiot..... triple lolz.

Im sorry you are apparently in the crowd that translates 'had contact with' to 'coordinated to spy'.

Or perhaps you think the proper thing to do is announce every bit of subpoenas out front and to anyone at the very beginning.

Which is it champ? I mean, to have the outlook you do requires a belief in either the first paragraph or the second.

Neither prong shows much brain activity, but in your case I wouldnt be surprised if you fell into both. Cool cool.

But I'm intrigued --

a) do you actually read the phrase 'had contact with' directly as 'coordinated to spy'?

b) you think that pre-announcing subpoenas to every person in an investigation is bright thing to do?

Lolz.

Doesn’t matter how many words your post has. You’re still wrong.

Looks like this board is filled with a bevy of talkers who are brave enough to throw empty **** down, and too chicken to answer the most basic of questions. And run away like a scalded chicken when pressed for answers.

Tanq has confirmed he’s a brainwashed lunatic. Every thing he posts is in defense of malicious behavior with intent. He’s got such a hard on for those trespassers on January 6 that he believes the Leftist government can act without impunity. Really a sad case of a corrupted mind. Simply has ZERO SELF AWARENESS

Of course he’ll give it his best go to discredit my post calling him out for what he is. Yada yada yada

The TRUTH IS HE IS A LIAR AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM.

He repeatedly over and over defends actions that clearly are morally wrong but has zero self awareness as if others can’t see through him

He so reminds me of something a lawyer told me years ago. He said if your boss requires you to take his kid to school every day and NEVER compensates you it’s not illegal but it is unethical.

Unethical is exactly what Tanq represents over and over and over.

No one is blinder than he who just won’t see.

So tanq, you are confident that Smith had proper predicate on each of those 44 GOP lawmakers? Are you as confident as you were that they had proper predicate on Carter Page? Are you as confident as you were about the Big Gretch kidnapping plot?

See, that’s the problem. When the Biden DOJ and FBI so absurdly lie in one instance it’s kind of hard to think they wouldn’t in another.

Was Jack smith properly appointed and when exactly was this goof ball confirmed by the Senate?

This isn’t “moderate” merricks private playground, nor was it Hack smiths fake “job”.

They should both be in Club Fed or Leavenworth for real insurrection.


These clowns would be faaaaar better off just stopping the nonsense and go take up Pilates or making fishing flies.

They got their assses handed to them
over and over and over again.

How about seeking help from Moveon.org maybe they can help with counseling?





Y’all starting to figure out yet?

Enlighten us Boy Wonder

Just watched a video cam where a street thug was pulled over by a cop. At some point in the discussion the thug tried to overtake the officer but was unsuccessful. The officer upon breaking free fired several rounds into the thug killing him.

The street thug’s family and atty believe it was unnecessary force!

Without crawfishing and clouding the water or whatever look over there trick you have tell me what verdict this officer should receive.

I have clearly laid out the scenario.

I know you will never answer honestly because you simply do not possess character

Based on what you state above, there is plenty of evidence that would sustain a reasonable fear of death by the cop --- and from that I would think that if there were no undue stretch of time between the cop breaking free and the cop firing that a good case of self-defense should be enjoyed by the cop.

The more time that passes between the two events the less that standard would be effective. And the more the danger dissipates for the cop, the less reasonable is the underlying basis for a self-defense using lethal force.

Not trying to make a case one way or the other with the above paragraph, just stating the the most basic tenet in the principle that you seem to be drawing.

As with everything, it all depends on the specific facts. You laid out most of them, but not so with others.

I dont understand why your craw is peeved with that particular issue in this thread, though. And as always I am quite amused at your personal crappy ad hom rantings and ravings that are interspersed. <clap>
