FBI Artic Frost targeting Conservatives

[Hans Blaster]

You do realize that narrative in that link was published by members of the Democratic Party, right?

It's not a narrative. It is an interview with Mr. Kirk.

You do realize that narrative in that link was published by members of the Democratic Party, right?

Are you asserting that Kirk didn't take the 5th when asked about deleting his text messages? (and virtually everything else he was asked about)

Given the putative topic of this thread, what do you make of the fact that Kirk was not targeted by any criminal indictments, despite him fiffing his way through this interview? He was specifically instructed that...

I will also note that the Fifth Amendment provides a witness the ability to refuse
to answer a question if they have a reasonable belief that a truthful answer could be used
against them in a criminal prosecution, not simply because the witness would prefer not
to answer the question.

I cannot wait until progressive left wing liberals realize that the majority of Americans have rejected leftists ideology.

Nah, only 48.9% do.

Ron Johnson, at least, was an active co-conspirator in this activity.

They were not false electors. The FBI has ZERO authority to spy on Senators.

Idk I think the federal bureau of investigations is specifically tasked with investigating federal crimes.

And what was the probable cause?

Fake. False. Fraudulent. Choose your own word, but they were not the electors counted for the state of Wisconsin.

Wisconsin prosecution of fake electors​

State of Wisconsin v. Kenneth Chesebro, et al. is a state criminal prosecution concerning the Trump fake electors plot in Wisconsin. The three defendants, Kenneth J. Chesebro, Michael A. Roman, and James R. Troupis, were lawyers and political aides to Donald Trump's 2020 presidential campaign involved in planning and producing fraudulent electoral vote paperwork as part of a plot to replace or nullify the official electoral votes of the state of Wisconsin in the 2020 presidential election.

The fraudulent paperwork was passed to U.S. Senator Ron Johnson and his chief of staff. They then attempted to convey the paperwork to Vice President Mike Pence before the certification of electoral votes on January 6, 2021, but Pence staff refused the documents.

Because they're fake.

Where was he questioned at? What kind of proceeding?

Thanks, I had just found it

Stolen election claims? Idk. That’s for them to figure out.

The FBI has absolutely ZERO AUTHORITY to spy on anyone in Congress.

 

[Say it aint so]

The FBI has absolutely ZERO AUTHORITY to spy on anyone in Congress.

Well yes, given an investigation of an attempt to steal an election where those of congress were participating, like Ron Johnson, then phone records need subpoenas.

EXCLUSIVE: Jan. 6 Protest Organizers Say They Participated in ‘Dozens’ of Planning Meetings With Members of Congress and White House Staff​

Two organizers told Rolling Stone that they met with “close to dozen” Republican members of Congress or their staff while planning protests against the 2020 presidential election results aimed at keeping former President Donald Trump in power, according to the story. The magazine did not name the two organizers. The story describes one as a Jan. 6 rally “organizer” and the other as a “planner” and says both are communicating with U.S. House investigators who are looking into the insurrection.​

​

Rolling Stone separately confirmed a third person involved in the main Jan. 6 rally in D.C. has communicated with the committee. This is the first report that the committee is hearing major new allegations from potential cooperating witnesses. While there have been prior indications that members of Congress were involved, this is also the first account detailing their purported role and its scope. The two sources also claim they interacted with members of Trump’s team, including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who they describe as having had an opportunity to prevent the violence. ​

Do tell.

Trump's DOJ secretly obtained phone and text message logs of 43 congressional staffers and 2 members of Congress​

Same incident but more detail.
Watchdog says US Department of Justice secretly obtained congressional phone records during Trump administration

The OIG’s report also revealed that the DOJ failed to establish clear guidelines for approving subpoenas involving congressional records, contributing to a lack of oversight in sensitive cases, and recommends implementing stricter approval processes and enhancing transparency to prevent potential abuses of power.

Trump 1.0 didn't, but...

In 2021, Attorney General Merrick Garland announcednew policies restricting the use of subpoenas to obtain information from members of Congress and the media.

Well yes, given an investigation of an attempt to steal an election where those of congress were participating, like Ron Johnson, then phone records need subpoenas.

Nope.

Says the weaponized lawfare of the Biden administration which you obviously appear to believe.

Is there such a thing as unweaponized lawfare as opposed to weaponized?

How do they differ?

 

[NxNW]

Hopefully, coming soon.

That's what you said about DOGE making fraud arrests. We're still waiting on those, too.
