The Biden FBI's targeting of Trump supporters was worse than anyone imagined.
New documents just exposed the ugly truth about what they did.
And Seattle FBI agents went after a conservative CEO for one bone-chilling reason.
Seattle FBI targeted conservative leader while ignoring Antifa violence
The House Judiciary Committee dropped a bombshell when it released documents from the Biden FBI's "Arctic Frost" investigation.¹
What looked like a probe into January 6 turned into a sweeping witch hunt against Trump allies across the country.
More than 400 Trump-affiliated figures faced FBI scrutiny during the investigation that ultimately became Special Counsel Jack Smith's lawfare campaign.²
One name on that list should make every conservative's blood boil.
Ed Corrigan, president and CEO of the Conservative Partnership Institute, found himself in the FBI's crosshairs for the crime of supporting President Trump.
An FBI official in Seattle sent an email in September 2022 that reads like something from the Soviet Union.
The agent cited an unnamed source who claimed Corrigan "is pro-Putin and anti-Biden."³
That's it.
That's what passed for probable cause at the Biden FBI.
Being "anti-Biden" became grounds for federal investigation.
FBI agent parroted deranged left-wing talking points
The Seattle-based FBI official didn't stop there.
The email went on to claim Corrigan "and his boss Mark Meadows are engaging in willful criminal activity."⁴
The source also alleged Corrigan owned properties "at which he wants to build up infrastructure to train people for civil war."⁵
These are the kind of unhinged conspiracy theories you'd expect to find in the darkest corners of left-wing Twitter.
Instead, they became the basis for an FBI investigation into one of the conservative movement's most respected leaders.
The agent even accused Corrigan of "secretly controlling the freedom caucus" and having "plans that are not good for the FBI."⁶
The email claimed Corrigan "hates the FBI, who he refers to as spooks."⁷
Who is Ed Corrigan?
He's a man with over 25 years of leadership experience on Capitol Hill and in the conservative movement.
He helped lead Trump's 2016 transition team, placing hundreds of conservatives in key administrative positions.
Before founding CPI, Corrigan served as executive director of the Senate Steering Committee under Senators Jim DeMint, Jeff Sessions, and Mike Lee.
He previously worked as Group Vice President for Policy Promotion at The Heritage Foundation.
In 2009, GQ magazine named him to its list of "50 Most Powerful People in DC."⁸
This isn't some fringe figure operating from the shadows.
Corrigan is a pillar of the conservative movement who spent his career advancing constitutional principles and training the next generation of conservative leaders.
The FBI went after him anyway.
Seattle FBI ignored Antifa terrorism in their own backyard
Here's what makes this even more outrageous.
While the Seattle FBI office was chasing down Ed Corrigan for thought crimes, Antifa terrorists were wreaking havoc in their own city.
In June 2020, Antifa activists took over a six-block section of Seattle and declared it an "autonomous zone."⁹
Two people were shot dead inside the zone while city leaders stood by and watched.
Seattle became a national embarrassment as officials surrendered their streets to left-wing extremists.
But the violence didn't stop there.
In July 2025, Antifa terrorists ambushed officers at an ICE facility in Portland, shooting one officer in the neck.¹⁰
They attacked federal agents, kicked them, punched them, and targeted them with incendiary devices.
Just weeks ago, Antifa militants violently attacked a Christian rally in Seattle at Cal Anderson Park.¹¹
Twenty-three arrests were made after anarchists infiltrated counter-protesters and "inspired violence."¹²
The Seattle Police Officers Guild warned that more than 700 officers have left the department in the past decade because of "activist pressure" and the city's "lack of action against ANTIFA criminals."¹³
But Ed Corrigan criticizing Biden?
The Seattle FBI mobilized immediately.
That tells you everything about the Biden administration's priorities.
Trump designated Antifa as terrorist organization
President Trump took the threat seriously after returning to office.
He designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization in September 2025 — something Biden refused to do for four years.¹⁴
The move came after decades of Antifa violence coast to coast.
In 2020 alone, Antifa-affiliated rioters caused up to $2 billion in damage and left at least 19 people dead.¹⁵
They firebombed the Seattle police union building.¹⁶
They seized control of downtown Seattle and declared their own government.
They attacked federal buildings, assaulted cops, and terrorized neighborhoods from Portland to Minneapolis.
Yet the Biden FBI treated conservative leaders like Ed Corrigan as the real threat.
The Conservative Partnership Institute responded perfectly to the revelations.
Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist noted that "Ed Corrigan is one of the most beloved members of the conservative movement across every faction on the right."¹⁷
"One of my favorite things about this absolutely unhinged note from an FBI agent out of Seattle is that he was trying to imprison Ed Corrigan, of all people, but not the Antifa terrorists in his own back yard," Hemingway wrote.¹⁸
She's absolutely right.
The FBI's targeting of Corrigan reveals the agency was "a million times worse than even those who think it's unsalvageable believed."¹⁹
This wasn't about stopping violence or protecting Americans.
Call it what it was: political persecution.
Biden's FBI hunted conservatives while Antifa burned cities.
Ed Corrigan trained conservative staffers and supported Trump.
That got him investigated by federal agents who ignored actual terrorists in their own backyard.
That should scare every American who values freedom.
