BREAKING: Jack Smith Criminally Referred to DOJ!


Former Special Counsel Jack Smith has just been referred to the Department of Justice for an investigation into professional misconduct.

A group of Senate Republicans, whom Jack Smith spied on during the ‘Arctic Frost’ investigation into J6, are calling on Pam Bondi to take action.

In addition to prosecution, they’re seeking Jack Smith’s disbarment.

Here are the details:

Scoop: Five Republicans led by

who had their call logs seized as part of the FBI’s Arctic Frost probe have asked AG Pam Bondi to refer ex-special counsel Jack Smith to the Department of Justice office that deals with professional misconduct — and subsequently to two state panels for potential disbarment.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn — one of the Senators whose phone calls were surveilled — is leading the charge against Jack Smith.

She announced on X:

Along with Sen. Blackburn, the other four senators who signed the letter criminally referring Jack Smith to the DOJ were Ron Johnson, Bill Hagerty, Josh Hawley, and Cynthia Lummis.

The New York Post has more:

A Friday letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi led by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) accused former President Joe Biden’s DOJ of having “spied on duly elected members of Congress” and demanding that Smith be investigated by the department’s Office of Professional Responsibility.

“As part of Jack Smith’s weaponized witch hunt, the Biden DOJ issued subpoenas to several telecommunications companies in 2023 regarding our cell phone records, gaining access to the time, recipient, duration, and location of calls placed on our devices from January 4, 2021, to January 7, 2021,” Blackburn and the other lawmakers said.

“We have yet to learn of any legal predicate for the Biden Department of Justice issuing subpoenas to obtain these cell phone records,” added the GOP lawmakers, including Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) and Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) as well as Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.).

The elected officials also accused Smith — whose eventual federal cases against President Trump received materials from the FBI’s “Arctic Frost” probe — of having infringed on the constitutional rights of elected officials and “trampled on this separation of powers principle that underlies our system of government.”

“This is especially true given the invasion of our privacy was directly connected to our core legislative functions protected by the Speech or Debate Clause of our Constitution,” the Republicans went on. “To the best we can tell, Smith’s team went on this fishing expedition for one simple reason: we are Republicans who support President Trump.”

In concluding the missive, the federally scrutinized senators suggested that Smith be referred for disbarment to the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility and the New York Attorney Grievance Committee, since he is licensed to practice law in both states.

Justice is coming…

What do you think?

Should Jack Smith be prosecuted?
