Jack Smith Nabbed 639K GOPers’ Personal Data In Arctic Frost

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith seized the personal information of at least 639,000 Republican voters, donors, and supporters as part of his Arctic Frost lawfare against Donald Trump, according to newly reviewed federal whistleblower disclosures.

“This update shows that Jack Smith and the Biden Justice Department collected incredibly invasive donor data — and voter data — beyond what could conceivably be necessary for Smith or his team to fulfill the Special Counsel’s mandate. The new findings further corroborate that Smith and his partisan team aimed to map out the entire Republican Party apparatus,” said Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

Grassley revealed the bombshell discovery in a memo sent to his Senate Judiciary colleagues on Wednesday. In addition to recapping some of his staff’s findings on Smith’s intrusive inquiry thus far, the Iowa Republican noted that newly reviewed subpoenas issued by Smith’s team show how the special counsel’s lawfare was more expansive than originally thought.

According to Grassley, Smith’s team and the Biden Justice Department “obtained spreadsheets containing Republican campaign donors, supporters, and detailed personal voter information in various formats, totaling over 639,000 individuals, at minimum.” “Out of those,” the chairman wrote, “over 148,000 rows are identified in the spreadsheets as donors.”

The type of data Smith and Co. acquired as a result of these spreadsheets was vast. Not only did they purportedly obtain these Republicans’ names, addresses, and dates of birth, but also their email addresses, occupations and employers, congressional and state legislative districts, and whether they’re officially registered as Republicans. Information on how much these Republicans donated, their credit card information (“including last four digits of credit card numbers”), and “donor analysis data (such as one-time versus recurring donations and the amount of the donation)” was also acquired.

Smith and the Biden DOJ’s acquisition of such data is only the tip of the Arctic Frost iceberg, according to Grassley.

The senior senator went on to reveal that these partisan actors “obtained names of campaign personnel, which may potentially include campaign volunteers” as part of their efforts. He additionally disclosed that the acquired “donor, potential voter, and supporter data” ranges from 2005 to 2021, which is “well outside Smith’s scope of purported review and further corroborating that the Special Counsel operation was designed to map out the Republican Party.”

Smith and the Biden DOJ also seized information related to MAGA hat sales and purchases, according to Wednesday’s memo.

“The documents also show that Jack Smith’s SCO and Biden’s Justice Department obtained information on sales of red MAGA hats, including individual buyers, their purchases and their shipping addresses for home delivery,” Grassley wrote. “This is in addition to collecting a catalogue of Trump campaign products including these red hats, t-shirts, mugs, and door mats. This further illustrates the extensive scope of irrelevant and personally invasive records obtained by Smith which were shared with FBI agents.”

The bombshell findings come weeks after Grassley’s team showed that Smith obtained nearly 5,000 checks written by Trump donors as part of his Arctic Frost lawfare. The revelation came the same day the senator’s staff also disclosed that Smith seized communication records from more than a dozen media outlets — including those belonging to The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway — in his anti-Trump witch hunt.
