Jack Smith secretly subpoenaed Ted Cruz's phone records and got a court to silence AT&T so Cruz would never find out.
Lauren Boebert just learned Biden's DOJ went after something far more personal than her phone.
New documents reveal exactly what private information about Boebert the Biden administration was trying to get its hands on.
Jim Jordan Demands Answers on Biden DOJ Subpoena for Boebert Financial Records
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan sent a letter this week to Alpine Bank CEO Glen Jammaron demanding every record and communication related to Biden DOJ requests involving Lauren Boebert's account.
Alpine Bank is a Colorado institution – headquartered in Glenwood Springs, serving the rural communities in Boebert’s old Congressional district.
Jordan's letter cited newly released Arctic Frost documents showing Jack Smith's team subpoenaed financial institutions, "including possibly Alpine Bank," for Boebert's private customer data.
The bank has until May 11 to comply.
Nobody ever accused Boebert of a crime.
She was a Trump ally who voted the right way – and that was enough for Biden's DOJ to start digging through her personal finances.
"While I was fighting in Washington to protect the privacy of the American people, the Biden administration was conducting a total witch hunt, searching my private financial records," Boebert said.
She added that justice won't be served "until those that abused their great power within the government find themselves behind bars."
This is the part Biden's allies in the press buried: Boebert wasn't collateral damage in a sprawling investigation.
Biden's DOJ went after her bank records as part of a deliberate, coordinated effort to financially map the entire Republican political apparatus before the 2024 election.
Jack Smith Arctic Frost Investigation Targeted Over 430 Republicans With Secret Subpoenas
What Senator Chuck Grassley's investigation has documented is breathtaking in scope.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith issued 197 subpoenas as part of Arctic Frost – targeting more than 430 Republican individuals and entities.
Trump advisors, campaign staff, conservative media organizations, and Republican legal groups all landed in Smith's net.
Every subpoena came with a court-issued non-disclosure order designed to keep targets in the dark.
Smith demanded financial data, donor records, fundraising statistics, and private communications from banks, businesses, and individuals across the country.
He subpoenaed the phone records of at least 17 Republican members of Congress, then buried each one under a secret gag order.
AT&T refused to hand over Cruz's records, citing the Speech or Debate Clause – so Smith got a judge to silence them with a non-disclosure order anyway.
Grassley's investigators found that Smith's own team was warned in a May 2023 internal email that subpoenaing congressional records risked violating the Constitution.
Smith did it anyway.
And when one phone carrier pushed back and Smith dropped the subpoena, Grassley pointed out that single fact destroys any argument the records were ever essential to the investigation.
Garland signed off on it. Wray signed off on it. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco signed off on it.
This was not a rogue prosecutor operating in the dark.
The entire top of Biden's Justice Department signed off on using federal subpoena power to vacuum up the financial lives, phone records, and donor networks of anyone connected to Donald Trump.
They did it in secret and silenced the banks and phone companies with gag orders.
And they kept every target – including a sitting congresswoman – completely in the dark.
Boebert was in Congress co-authoring the Surveillance Accountability Act – legislation requiring warrants before the government can spy on Americans – while Biden's DOJ was already inside her bank records.
That is not irony.
That is a regime protecting itself from the people trying to stop it.
Grassley called Arctic Frost "a Modern Watergate" in March.
The Boebert bank subpoena makes that comparison look conservative.
