There could be no valid reason for such a widespread probe other than to destroy not just Trump, but anyone within six-degrees of separation.
More than 150 individuals in Trump’s orbit faced scrutiny by the FBI after Biden’s attorney general approved the opening of an investigation related to the Trump campaign’s use of alternative electors. Documents released Tuesday by the House Judiciary Committee reveal that during the Biden Administration, the FBI used the Arctic Frost investigation to target Republicans in key battleground states, raising serious questions concerning whether the Democrat-led DOJ plotted with state prosecutors to bring criminal charges against Trump supporters.
“Arctic Frost investigators utilized FBI field offices from across the country to conduct its investigation,” the House Judiciary Committee explained in releasing nearly 200-pages of internal emails on Tuesday. The investigators also sought more than $16,000 in travel expenses to interview more than 40 individuals, according to the House committee. The documents contained a list of a veritable who’s who of players in the 2020 election, including Steve Bannon, Scott Perry, Rudolph Giuliani, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Peter Navarro, Dan Scavino, Jeff Rosen, and Ed Martin
Tuesday’s document dump follows news from last week that in early April of 2022, then-FBI Director Christopher Wray sought approval to launch Arctic Frost as a “full investigation.” In a memorandum drafted for Attorney General Merrick Garland, Wray claimed that “fraudulent certificates of electors’ votes were submitted to the Archivist of the United States” for Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin. Director Wray claimed the Washington Field Office concluded there were “specific and articulable facts that individuals, both known and unknown, engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct Congress’s certification of the Electoral College on January 6, 2020, including through the submission of fraudulent certificates of electors’ votes to the United States Government.”
Biden’s attorney general approved the opening of the criminal investigation, even though Wray’s memorandum detailed public comments by both the Trump team and the various alternative electors establishing that their intent was to preserve the legal challenges to the election. Equally shocking is AG Garland’s decision to approve the investigation even with clear precedent pointing to the propriety of the use of alternative electors in contested elections.
As The Federalist explained in “The Left’s 2020 ‘Fake Electors’ Narrative Is Fake News,” the exact same scenario occurred in Hawaii in 1960, when Nixon was certified the victor while Kennedy’s legal challenge to the outcome remained pending. Both Democrat and Republic electors certified that they were the “duly and legally qualified and appointed” electors for Hawaii. And the three Democrat electors, which included two retired federal judges, attested, alongside their Republican counterparts: “We hereby certify that the lists of all the votes of the state of Hawaii given for President, and of all the votes given for Vice President, are contained herein.”
Unlike most of Trump’s state court challenges, the Hawaii court reached the merits of Kennedy’s election challenge before Congress tallied the electoral votes, with the court concluding Kennedy won Hawaii. As a result — and only because the Democrat alternative electors submitted their vote for Kennedy to Congress — Hawaii’s three electors were included in Kennedy’s total.
Given this precedent, it is inconceivable that the FBI would launch an investigation into supposed fraud premised on the use of alternative electors, much less that the attorney general would approve the investigation.
