Jack Smith subpoenaed Ted Cruz’s cellphone records from AT&T.

A Judge who signed off told AT&T not to inform Ted Cruz because he would destroy them and it was a matter of national security.


Sounds typical of a subpoena in a criminal investigation.

If Trump did this you would be crying it's a partisan witch hunt and abuse of power.

Cruz would destroy the cell records that AT&T had?

That doesn’t make sense.

Oh.

Then why the shite is everyone saying these folks were wiretapped?

Were they attempting to wiretap them?


Lemme go read about this stuff real quick.

ETA: My mistake saying wiretap.

Why were they secretly getting phone records of these people?

They did the same thing to Schiff and Swalwell. Robert Hur did the same thing to Biden.

Stop acting like this stuff is out of the ordinary in investigations.

So you would have no problem if Kash, or Bondi went to Judge Pierro and asked her for wiretaps on Shumer, Boesberg, Crockett, AOC, Bernie etc.??

Apparently, only the legislators who supported the Biden administration were above the law. Why weren't any of them included in this fishing expedition?

Congress should not be "above the law", but their should be a higher standard to investigate them because of politics involved in their job and the potential for lawfare.

Was their a predicate crime that justified the investigation? Was their any evidence at all against these 160+ people that were investigated? Or was this a fishing expedition where they were just trying to sort through everyone's shite to see if they can find something?

Why did they need to keep all of this a secret? Ted Cruz was not a flight risk. If they had a reason to keep it secret, why wasn't Cruz notified of the investigation once he was exonerated? If the investigation was on the up and up, this should have been made public, or at least revealed to Cruz and he could decide whether to make it public.

No. This stinks to high heaven and should be called out. If the party in power can just issue subpoenas for anyone they want with no evidence of any crime, then we are going to start spiraling downhill as a free society.

You have ZERO credibility left on this board. By now, a person would have to be brain-dead not to see how unbelievably protective you are of the corrupt Political Establishment.

Oh, I forgot. You don't even belive that there is a corrupt Political Establishment.

(Now I'll await his response filled with emoticons, memes, "ad hommies," "wut," etc.).

Judges are untouchable so it makes perfect sense for the Left to use them as Foot Soldiers.

The clown troll didnt answer this did he? Didn't you know, normal people get subpoenaed all the time?

No probable cause, just a subpoena for a crime they have no idea about.

What law, exactly?

I wasnt aware that fishing expeditions have been codified

And once AT&T denied the request, is threatening them into silence also lawful?

Something a lot less cumbersome than impeachment is needed to slap down these rogue commie judges.

One problem with this stuff - who is a good source on the facts?

I am reading all sorts of stuff about this, some that is contradictory.

Regardless, this whole Arctic Frost thing seems like a big deal. At the very least, Boasberg and Smith need to be put under oath and answer some questions.

You failed to answer my question.

What criminal behavior would warrant the secret surveillance of hundreds of individuals including congressmen, donors and media whose only connection is their political leanings?

Beee-cuz....

They are actually featured actors and cast members of a Reality Show (that isn't "Reality").

So no, none of this has been real. Is everyone enjoying the roles, performances and twists in the plot lines over the past 10 years?

Lots of folks were communicating about Trump’s criminal conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The subpoena was for toll records (business records), that’s only info on who called whom, for how long, etc. There’s no recognized expectation of privacy for these kind of records so they can be obtained through grand jury subpoenas. They are not wiretaps that collect the audio of the calls.
