Senator Ted Cruz recently appeared on “Sunday Morning Futures” to shed light on the “Arctic Frost” investigation, a term he uses to describe what he believes is a significant abuse of power by the Biden administration. Cruz’s assertions draw direct parallels to the Watergate scandal, arguing that what’s happening today is even more egregious.
Cruz asserts that the Biden regime has weaponized government resources against President Trump and his supporters in ways that far surpass the infamous tactics seen in Watergate. He stated that nearly 200 subpoenas were issued to trace the phone records of those connected to Trump, suggesting that these actions were targeted exclusively at Republicans. “This is outrageous about AT&T and Verizon,” Cruz remarked, highlighting the massive scope of the investigation.
During his discussion with host Maria Bartiromo, Cruz outlined a timeline that supports his claims. He noted that three days after Trump declared his candidacy for the presidency again in November 2022, the Biden Justice Department appointed Jack Smith. According to Cruz, this was no mere coincidence. He suggested that the impetus for Smith’s appointment was a pre-existing agenda to undermine Trump’s electoral chances.
Cruz accused the Biden DOJ of a broader persecution campaign against individuals involved in the January 6th events long before Jack Smith was appointed. He revealed that the administration had already begun prosecuting peaceful protesters, claiming, “Remember, the Biden DOJ had been locking up little old ladies who were protesting on the National Mall.” Cruz framed Smith’s mission as fundamentally aimed at preventing Trump from gaining the presidency again, calling it a “dragnet” of unprecedented scale.
In detailing the specific measures taken against him and his fellow Republicans, Cruz recounted the nature of the subpoenas issued. He stated that Smith targeted major organizations like the Republican Attorneys General Association and Turning Point USA, as well as several U.S. Senators — including himself. Cruz explained the personal impact of this investigation, saying, “The subpoena he sent to my cell phone record was for my cell phone records, my voicemails, my texts, communications in and out, the geolocation.”
Cruz elaborated on the actions of AT&T and Verizon regarding compliance with these subpoenas. While AT&T refused to provide his records after sufficient legal scrutiny, they were warned by Judge Boasberg not to disclose the existence of the subpoena, casting a shadow on the integrity of the process. He noted that Verizon complied and turned over records for other senators, calling this an “egregious abuse of process” and a fundamentally flawed fishing expedition.
Bartiromo chimed in, pointing out Judge Boasberg’s controversial past, which includes a light punishment for an FBI agent involved in misleading investigations and attempts to thwart Trump’s agenda. This background adds further weight to Cruz’s argument, suggesting a pattern of bias that permeates these judicial decisions.
Cruz concluded with a strong statement, calling for the House of Representatives to impeach Judge Boasberg, contending that the judge’s authority has been used to compromise the rights of elected officials. His position positions the situation as a critical juncture in the intersection of judiciary and politics.
The analogy drawn to Watergate resonates in the contemporary political landscape, with Cruz vehemently declaring that the stakes are high and the implications serious. The unfolding details continue to spark fierce debate, raising questions about governmental overreach and the integrity of political processes. As investigations evolve, the impact on the political future remains to be seen.
