President Joe Biden’s FBI targeted Turning Point USA and 91 other conservative groups, Senator Chuck Grassley revealed recently.
The initiative, titled “Arctic Frost,” “was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus,” the Iowa Republican said on Tuesday during a hearing.
The FBI used the violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 as the pretext for a massive investigation by a politicized law enforcement agency, Sen. Grassley revealed.
President Donald Trump weighed in with his own criticism of the weaponization of the government.
“They tried to force Charlie, and many other people and movements, out of business,” President Trump wrote on Truth Social Tuesday. “They Weaponized the Justice Department against Sleepy Joe Biden’s Political Opponents, including ME!”
The revelations are the latest evidence that Biden and his Department of Justice targeted political opponents using law enforcement.
For example, Attorney General Merrick Garland ordered federal law enforcement to closely surveil parents and other concerned citizens who spoke out at school board meetings against COVID mandates, and sexual and racial content in the classroom and libraries.
Garland, hailed as a moderate and centrist during his unsuccessful bid for the Supreme Court, was itching to use federal power against enemies of the Biden administration. “We’re aware; the challenge here is finding a federal hook. But WH has been in touch about whether we can assist in some form or fashion,” deputy attorney general aide Kevin Chambers, wrote in a memo. His comments, reacting to a letter from the National School Boards Association that compared parents to domestic terrorists,” preceded the Garland targeting memo.
Furthermore, the Biden FBI targeted traditional Catholics who prefer the Latin Mass, in a wide-ranging probe that included tracking the credit card purchases of a priest. The FBI also tried to get a priest to violate sacred confidentiality and share with a parishioner had told him. And yet, former FBI Director Christopher Wray downplayed the initial Latin Mass targeting memo, claiming it was just one office in Richmond, Va. Instead, it involved multiple offices across the country and in London, as documents would later reveal.
Under Biden, the rule of law was under attack, as law enforcement was given free range to target peaceful Catholics, elderly pro-lifers, and patriotic parents exercising their duty to ensure their kids are being educated in the truth, not in garbarge.
Thankfully, FBI Director Kash Patel and President Trump are protecting our democracy and supporting the rule of law by bringing the targeting of Americans out into the sunlight.
