The Deep State's war against conservative politicians just got a whole lot more sinister. Phone carriers quietly handed over private records of Republican members of Congress to former special counsel Jack Smith's politically motivated investigation, exposing a surveillance operation that would make the KGB proud.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), whose personal records were violated in this constitutional assault, led a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing Tuesday that exposed the shocking extent of the Biden administration's spying apparatus. The Tennessee conservative told The Daily Wire this hearing was designed to ensure "this never happens again to any American citizen."
But here's the real question Patriots should be asking: Why did these phone companies roll over so easily when the federal government came knocking with subpoenas targeting elected Republicans?
The so-called "Arctic Frost" investigation represents everything wrong with our two-tiered justice system. While Hunter Biden's laptop was buried and Hillary Clinton's emails were ignored, Jack Smith was given carte blanche to rifle through the private communications of lawmakers who dared to question the 2020 election narrative.
"This is about protecting the constitutional rights of every American from an overreaching federal government that has lost all respect for the rule of law," one committee source told reporters.
The timing couldn't be more revealing. Now that President Trump is back in the White House and Republicans control Congress, suddenly we're getting answers about the surveillance state's targeting of conservatives. Where was this oversight when Democrats controlled everything?
These phone carriers - companies that make billions off American consumers - apparently felt no obligation to protect their customers' Fourth Amendment rights when faced with Deep State pressure. They simply handed over the goods and kept quiet about it.
This is exactly why President Trump's mandate to drain the swamp resonates with millions of Americans. The administrative state believes it can spy on anyone, anytime, for any political reason - and Big Tech companies are happy to help them do it.
The question now is whether there will be real accountability for this constitutional violation, or if it's just another dog and pony show designed to let everyone save face while the surveillance continues.
