Republican senator Marsha Blackburn suing Biden hatchet man Jack Smith for spying on her

In an interview with Just the News, Blackburn said she is suing Biden DOJ officials, including Smith, for violating free speech and privacy rights and the separation of powers under the Constitution.

Seeking accountability

As part of an FBI probe into the January 6th, 2021, Capitol unrest, Smith collected records from Blackburn and eight other GOP senators, as well as one House member.

Blackburn said the only apparent reason she and the other lawmakers were targeted was their support for Trump.

“When you look at what happened with us, it’s the 1st and the 4th amendment that was violated with the eight senators, plus our Speech and Debate Clause, our separation of powers and the Stored Communications Act, all of those were violations,” she said.

“These guys just hated Donald Trump, and they hated us because we supported Donald Trump, and we were standing with Donald Trump.”

Targeting Trump

The phone records were collected as part of the FBI’s Arctic Frost probe, which set the stage for Smith’s sweeping indictment of Trump for “election interference.”

Blackburn said her lawyers have determined that Smith’s subpoena requests predated Trump’s indictment in August 2023.

“One of the things that is so interesting on this is we thought that the wireless carriers received a subpoena in September (2023) for our records, but we found out that Verizon actually received that subpoena in May 2023. That was prior to the indictment of President Trump, which took place in August of 2023,” she said.

“We know that they pulled what is called the toll data, that is every call we either made or received, the duration of the call, the individual and the number that it was to and from, And then also the physical location where we were when that call was either made or received,” she added.
