The ‘Arctic Frost’ inquiry ‘was the way by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends,’ said the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary.

It was worse than initially suspected.

The Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee released new documents implying that various conservative organizations were pursued by the FBI, as part of its investigation into the outcome of the 2020 election under then Director Christopher Wray.

Labelled “Arctic Frost,” the investigation served as the starting point for Special Counsel Jack Smith’s federal prosecution of then-candidate Donald Trump, contending that he had attempted to overturn the 2020 election, according to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa)

But that probe “was much wider than just an electoral matter,” Grassley said during a Sept. 16 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel.

During his initial remarks Grassley said that Arctic Frost “was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus.”

According to new documents released by Grassley, conservative groups—including Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, the Republican National Committee, the Republican Attorneys General Association, the America First Policy Institute, and others were targeted by the probe.

In total, Grassley said, 92 conservative groups were “placed under the investigative scope of Arctic Frost.”

While questioning Patel, Grassley asked what the FBI would do to make sure something like that would not happen again.

“The simple answer, Mr. Chairman, is the FBI will only bring cases that are based in facts and law, and have a legal basis to do so,” Patel said. “Anyone who does otherwise will not be employed at the FBI.”

In addition, Patel said the agency was conducting internecine reviews to detect agents who may have engaged in partisan weaponization of the agency during President Joe Biden’s administration.

“This FBI will not be weaponized anymore, on either side of the aisle,” Patel said.
