New Records Reveal FBI Cooked Up Another Fake Investigation To Spy On Republicans
Months after opening Rampart Twelve, the FBI and DOJ still had no evidence to indicate that Lauren Boebert and Paul Gosar were guilty of the allegations against them.
Docs: FBI Cooked Up Another Fake Investigation To Spy On GOP
The FBI and DOJ charged forward with an investigation into GOP Congressmen after privately admitting there was no evidence for doing so.

Partisan prosecutors at the Biden administration’s Department of Justice charged forward with an investigation into Republican members of Congress after privately saying the primary evidence lacked credibility, new records show.
The documents, released by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, on Tuesday, show the beginnings of “Operation Rampart 12.” The operation, which the FBI launched to investigate multiple Republican members of Congress based on claims that they assisted Jan. 6 Capitol rioters, is believed to be a predecessor case to the get-Trump lawfare operation Arctic Frost.
Biden’s FBI opened Rampart Twelve on Jan. 22, 2021. Then-Rep. Mikie Sherrill’s accusations against congressional colleagues formed the primary basis of the investigation, which was carried forward by several DOJ and FBI officials whose private communications reveal there was no legitimate basis for it. Sherrill is now the Democrat governor of New Jersey.
“The Democrats have supported these fired former Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI officials. But, as the records show, these fired officials weren’t protecting our country,” Grassley wrote in an opening statement for a Senate hearing on Arctic Frost on Tuesday. “They were literally trying to destroy it.”

The corporate media trumpeted Sherrill’s allegations at the time, and she led a group of more than 30 House Democrats in sending a letter to the House and Senate sergeants-at-arms demanding information about Jan. 5 visitors. The FBI obtained phone toll records for Boebert and Gosar, according to the documents, much in the same way that Arctic Frost fraudulently obtained phone records of other Republicans on Capitol Hill.

On Jan. 16, Cooney texted Gaston regarding video footage of Boebert in the Capitol, noting that Boebert was “near Sherrill.” But she was “not with others,” Cooney confirmed to Gaston.
“There is a maga hat group about a minute behind her … but it’s a family — with kids,” Cooney said.
There was another person in the tourist group taking pictures, whom Cooney described as “weird” but “not … suspicious.”
Gaston wanted to focus on “figur[ing] out what time the goasar [sic] thing happened … and get that video.”
Cooney replied, “i’m telling you though — this tour/map thing has legs … this makes perfect sense to me … proving the member’s intent might be impossible … but i am fairly confident that we are going to put a map or some other information relevant to coordinated activity in the hands of an extremist group, and trace it back to a congressional office.”

Grassley noted that within months of opening Rampart Twelve, the FBI still had no evidence linking Boebert and Gosar to the allegations against them. A document drafted by “partisan anti-Trump FBI Agent Timothy Thibault” says the FBI reviewed the representatives’ toll records and “video footage from key areas of the Capitol,” again confirming that the FBI lacked evidence on Boebert and Gosar.
Normally, preliminary investigations remain open for about six months before being closed due to lack of evidence, Grassley noted. But when FBI Public Corruption Unit agent Leanna Saler notified Thibault that Rampart Twelve “expires on July 22,” Thibault decided to “extend and cite we are awaiting HQ guidance,” while providing zero justification for the decision. “Cooney, Gaston, Saler and Thibault’s partisan, weaponized investigation would continue until it was shut down by FBI Headquarters January 27, 2022, a full year after it was opened,” Grassley wrote.
The released documents also reveal that Cooney and Gaston also schemed on how to “circumvent” Congress’s Speech or Debate Clause in Article I, Section 6 of the U.S. Constitution, and the statutory barriers put in place to protect congressional toll records.

Grassley said. “All these records, taken together, show partisan prosecutors and FBI agents used dubious allegations to pursue political investigations against Republican Members of Congress.”
Commentary:
The Democrat Commies and the deep state are motivated and will do whatever they can to gain and keep power.
Wish Republican politicians were half that motivated.
The FBI under Democrat control have always been involved in political blackmail. It's just that when Hoover was running it, he played his own hand instead of serving a political party.
Does anyone take notice how the name Christopher A. Wray never seems to come up?
The worst of the worst abusers, i.e the Samantha Power USAID, Alajandro Mayorkas, Bill Burr types, they know to always keep their heads down, mouths shut and expect to be reused by the Marxists Globalists once they get the advantage again. Which they know they will. It's just a waiting game.
The opposition is at best weak and mostly flying blind if not outright compromised, and of them only a small number understand its a War being fought against them.
If Democrats get to elect a POTUS, it will be open season on Republicans, and it won’t be pleasant. They've broadcasted that fact a number of times since 2025.
Yet, the complicit and biased state Democrat press claims “There is no Deep State” and “The Obama-Biden-Harris FBI is honest and loyal!” - To their Deep State masters.
The FBI was unconstitutional from day one and should be eliminated. It's not like there wasn't federal law enforcement before 1925. That's what the Federal Marshal's Office should have authority and the FBI is superfluous.
