SS: The Deep State of Surveillance
If you’ve been paying attention to the plight of the January 6th defendants, you already know the Department of Justice has been weaponized. We have seen the lives of American citizens destroyed by a two-tiered justice system that treats patriots like domestic terrorists. But if you thought this surveillance state stopped at the citizenry, think again.
New documents reveal that the rot goes all the way to the top.
We now have confirmation that the very people elected to hold these agencies accountable were themselves being spied on by the people they were investigating. It wasn’t just a prosecution; it was an intimidation campaign.
Spying on the Overseers
Recently transferred documents from the FBI to Congress have blown the lid off a massive surveillance dragnet. We have learned that Special Counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed the private phone records of sitting members of Congress—including House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and former Rep. Louie Gohmert.
These weren't just random checks. These subpoenas were issued precisely when these Representatives were conducting critical oversight into corruption within the FBI and DOJ.
On April 25, 2022, Jack Smith’s team issued a subpoena to Verizon Wireless for Jim Jordan’s phone records. The scope? An expansive two-year dragnet covering everything from January 1, 2020, to the present day. This wasn't a targeted inquiry into a single day; it was a fishing expedition meant to sweep up every communication a sitting Congressman had.
The Timeline Tells the Truth
The timing here is not a coincidence; it is a confession.
At the exact moment Smith’s team demanded these records, Jim Jordan and his committee were receiving explosive whistleblower disclosures about politicization at the FBI. They were hearing from brave agents who were being purged for holding conservative views and for questioning the "domestic extremism" narratives being spun by the Bureau.
Just one day after Smith issued the subpoena, on April 26, 2022, Jordan wrote to Inspector General Michael Horowitz demanding an investigation into the FBI’s retaliation against employees for constitutionally protected political activity.
Do you think Jack Smith didn't know that?
As former Rep. Louie Gohmert correctly pointed out, this raises a terrifying possibility: these subpoenas served a dual purpose. Yes, they were part of the "Arctic Frost" probe into January 6th, but they also served as a tool to spy on the oversight committee itself. They were watching the watchmen.
Constitutional Shredding
The DOJ didn't just grab the data; they fought to keep it secret. A sealed court order from April 29, 2022, gagged Verizon Wireless, preventing them from notifying Jordan or anyone else about the seizure. They operated in the shadows, creating a "star chamber" where the constitutional rights of the Legislative Branch were secondary to the whims of the Executive.
Internal emails from May 2023 show that Justice Department officials—specifically John Keller of the Public Integrity Section—admitted that these subpoenas might violate the Speech or Debate Clause of the Constitution. Their conclusion? Do it anyway. They calculated that the "litigation risk" was minimal because they didn't plan to charge the Congressmen.
In other words: We can violate the Constitution because we know we won't get caught in court.
If They Do This to Congress...
This is the state of our union. We have an un-elected bureaucracy that feels comfortable spying on the elected representatives of the people. They used the events of January 6th not just to persecute protesters, but as a pretext to dismantle the checks and balances of our Republic.
If they are willing to trample the constitutional rights of Jim Jordan, Louie Gohmert, and the Senate Judiciary Committee, what chance does the average citizen have?
The "American Gulag" is not just a place; it is a system. It is a system where the FBI inflates domestic extremism statistics, where parents are investigated for speaking up at school board meetings, and where the political opposition is surveilled under the guise of "national security."
We must ask the hard question: When do citizens get Justice?
The surveillance state is here. It is deep, it is weaponized, and it is coming for anyone who dares to question the narrative. We must stop the hate, stop the lies, and demand accountability—before there is no one left to fight.
