And that double standard is troubling.

Senator Lee.

senator you're absolutely right there in the point that you were making yeah it really is amazing that that nobody and by the way the entire hearing the democrats were completely silent like when it came their turn to question they just said orange man bad they just said we hate donald trump they didn't acknowledge it look one of the things that happened in arctic frost is not only did you have jack smith um

getting subpoenas for the phone records of of twenty percent of the republicans in the senate and by the way also getting sit as a subpoenas and and wiretapping uh... cash patel who was that a private citizen now is the director of the fbi uh... that that they they tapped the phones of susie wiles who was then the campaign manager she was running donald trump's campaign i mean this was a political opposition effort and by the way

They taped her conversations with her lawyer, which is illegal on any level.

If you look at the subpoenas they issued for the senators, they also went to Judge Boasberg, who is an extraordinarily partisan left-wing judge.

He's the favorite judge for these radical groups that have been getting nationwide injunctions against various Trump policies.

I chaired a hearing several months ago calling for Judge Boasberg to be impeached and removed from office because he is so extreme.

In Arctic Frost, for every single senator that Jack Smith subpoenaed, he signed an order ordering the phone companies not to disclose to us that they were subpoenaing on our phone record.

And in that order, he concluded the court fines...

that we will destroy evidence if we know about it.

Now, there is zero basis in fact

to make that finding.

Look, I'm a member of the Bar.

My integrity matters a great deal to me.

I'm not going to destroy evidence, and there are no facts that could be introduced that would suggest I could.

There's also a federal statute prohibiting nondisclosure orders for Senate records, and yet Judge Boasberg violated the law.

That was the kind of abuse of power we saw in Arctic Frost, and it was truly unprecedented.

It makes Watergate seem mild by comparison.

Guaranteed human.
