A newly leaked memo proved that Biden Special Counsel Jack Smith —who handled the Trump Mar-a-Lago documents case and the ‘insurrection’ prosecution— was not just looking at the president, forty-four Republican congressmen, and eight GOP senators. Smith was also building a vast and highly detailed database on
640,000 garden-variety Republican voters, donors, and supporters.
But why?? Smith, who looks just like a Don Knotts clone from Star Trek’s evil dimension (the so-called “Mirror Universe”) was asked that question at Senate Judiciary Committee hearing a couple weeks ago. He started by pledging that he would answer
why, right before
not answering why.
It was “to conduct a criminal investigation of one of the most serious crimes that’s ever happened in our nation’s history,” Smith supposedly ‘explained,’ without any exaggeration. He was referring to his ‘insurrection’ theory, that Trump tried to ‘overthrow’ the 2020 election. Was Smith saying that everyone who ever donated $7 to a Trump fundraiser was part of a ‘criminal insurrection investigation?’ That’s the logical conclusion. (“I had a duty to collect facts,” Smith insisted. 640,000 of them.)
Even if that ridiculous claim were somehow defensible —which it isn’t— the memo that Committee Chair Chuck Grassley published yesterday shows even that outrageous argument to be a lie. Smith’s special counsel office and the DOJ “obtained spreadsheets containing Republican campaign donors, supporters, and detailed personal voter information in various formats, totaling over 639,000 individuals, at minimum,” Grassley said in the memo.
Most significantly, some of the records Smith collected dated back to
2005— long before Trump even
thought about riding down the Trump Tower escalator. That’s a pretty durable conspiracy. According to Smith, all those GOP donors somehow knew Biden would steal the 2020 election fifteen years before it happened.
“The data gathered on the voters and donors,” Fox reported, “included names, dates of birth, physical addresses, emails, whether the person was a registered Republican, their occupation and place of employment — samples on the list included retirees, pool technicians, drivers, loggers, etc. — credit card information, donor analysis data and donation amount, among other details.”
Remember— these are the same Democrats filing lawsuits to stop the federal government from getting voter registration information on illegal immigrants in their states because privacy. Just saying.
To anyone with half a functional brain —here I rule out all corporate media reporters— Smith was obviously building an enemies list so ambitiously vast it would have made President Nixon leap into a Crying Games style shower.
Can you spot the beautiful irony? Grassley’s memo landed just as the ‘weaponization’ complaints over Ilhan Omar’s raid reached maximum volume. Chairman Grassley took their Ilhan Omar bid and raised them, pushing in a giant pile of 640,000 chips. So you want to talk about weaponization?
Democrats’ best argument —that DOJ should stay all the way out of politics— has been overthrown, not by Republicans but by their own shenanigans. They so absurdly weaponized the criminal justice system during the Autopen Era that their complaints cannot be taken seriously. At this point, Trump could investigate any Democrat politician and Republicans would cheer.
During Trump 1.0, the “lock her up” chant was popular in MAGA circles but never left the political tarmac. Obviously, Democrats labeled “lock her up” as incipient fascism and reckless Trump talk. But too many Republicans were also uncomfortable with the idea of arresting Hillary, about starting something that could snowball in unpredictable ways.
My friends, those days are
over. Since Democrats enthusiastically endorsed Jack Smith building a secret database of GOP donors, there is no longer any ‘red line’ to cross. It’s been smudged out. Whenever Todd Blanche is challenged by a corporate media reporter about weaponization, all he need do is shoot back, “what about 640,000 everyday citizens in Jack Smith’s criminal database?”
Case closed.
One can fairly wonder where all this ends. This week, the Democrats’ DSA candidate for U.S. Senate in Florida, Angie Nixon, told CNN that she wanted her opponent, incumbent Ashley Moody, put in prison. “I want her locked up and punished in jail for what she’s done,” Nixon said, without naming what crimes, exactly, Moody is supposed to have committed. Illegal use of pronouns, maybe?
CNN’s anchor Kasie Hunt, incredulous, asked Nixon to repeat it, saying, “What she has done?” Nixon quadrupled down: “Yeah, basically, yes. Because of what she did, yes. I
absolutely would want that to happen, yes.”
Four yeses.
It didn’t help that Ms. Nixon’s arguments were at a roughly third-grade reading level. (The Democrat bench is getting
very thin.) But the point is, it is difficult for Democrats to rationally complain about “weaponization” against Ilhan Omar while their Senate candidates go on CNN to request, for unspecified crimes, that Republican candidates be
jailed.
The Democrats and their senile leader Biden put us on this greased slip-n-slide, and we are all sliding downhill, faster and faster. Where will it end? One imagines that hard lessons will be learned by the time we hit bottom going around 90 mph. I assume the Senate Leadership fund, flush with Musk’s millions, will run the Nixon clip all over Florida, which is a gift in itself.
