Confirmed! Jack Smith was using weaponized government to spy on Republican senators
Bongino: ‘It is a disgrace that I have to stand on Capitol Hill and reveal this – that the FBI was once weaponized to track the private communications of U.S. lawmakers for political purposes’
It now has been confirmed that the extent and depth of the weaponization of the federal government under Joe Biden included onetime Special Counsel Jack Smith monitoring the communications of, and spying on, Republican senators.
A document, reviewed by Fox News Digital, revealed that Smith and his FBI activists working to undermine, even prosecute and jail, President Donald Trump “were allegedly tracking” telephone activity of GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and GOP Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania.
Dan Bongino, the deputy FBI director, brief multiple senators, including Graham, Hawley, Johnson, Blackburn and more, Monday.
The document is titled “CAST Assistance” and is dated Sept. 27, 2023, in reference to the FBI’s cellular analysis survey team.
One of Smith’s lawfare cases against Trump involved Democrat claims that the January 6, 2021, protest turned riot in Washington actually was an insurrection, an deliberate attempt to overthrow to U.S. government.
In reality it was a protest that got out of hand, possible aggravated by instigators embedded in the crowd.
This case collapsed despite Smith’s efforts to make public all of the detrimental allegations he could claim against Trump.
Fox reported, “The document states the names of the lawmakers and that an FBI special agent on Smith’s team ‘conducted preliminary toll analysis’ on the toll records associated with the lawmakers. An FBI official told Fox News Digital that Smith and his team tracking the senators were able to see which phone numbers they called, the location the phone call originated and the location where it was received.”
Smith issued subpoenas to major telephone providers to collect the information.
Smith was appointed special counsel to conduct the Democrats’ lawfare agenda against Trump.
“It is a disgrace that I have to stand on Capitol Hill and reveal this — that the FBI was once weaponized to track the private communications of U.S. lawmakers for political purposes,” Bongino said. “That era is over.”
FBI officials confirmed the records were uncovered because of oversight request by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
FBI Director Kash Patel said, “Under our watch, the FBI will never again be turned against the American people.”
The report pointed out that the lawfare case assembled by Smith collapsed, but not before costing American taxpayers more than $50 million.
