Watergate was about a handful of files in a single office.

This reached into tens of thousands of private communications, emails, records, and personal data.

Toll records, bank records, donor lists, law firm records, and other personal files relating to every major conservative organization were subpoenaed.

Well, that clip was from a hearing I chaired this week of the Senate Judiciary Committee that was examining Arctic Frost.

It was releasing yet more documents that showed the massive scope of the abuse of power.

Look, Watergate at the end of the day was a handful of Cuban burglars who broke into an office of the DNC.

And it was a failed burglar.

They didn't even succeed.

And it resulted in the President of the United States resigning in disgrace.

It resulted in more than 40 people being criminally prosecuted, many of them going to jail.

By any measure, Arctic Frost was orders of magnitude worse.

you had nearly 200 subpoenas, you had more than 400 individuals and groups that were targeted.

The Biden Department of Justice issued subpoenas to get the phone records for more than 20% of the Republicans in the Senate, including yours truly.

It was a massive abuse of power.

And the amazing thing is the Democrats don't care at all.

And one of the points I made

At the hearing, there are a bunch of Democrat senators sitting there at the hearing, and I pointed out not one of them is going to say a word.

They don't care about abuse of power.

For them, partisanship and partisan control is all that matter.

And I contrasted it with what happened in Watergate.
