They subpoenaed my phone records.

By the way, not just my personal phone records.

They literally subpoenaed my office phone records.

Now, these guys were actually not very competent with respect to me.

They subpoenaed the general number in my office that has every person who calls in to complain about a pothole, to complain about whatever they're angry about.

That's what they subpoenaed for me.

So these guys are, let me just say, the Nobel Prize for physics, they're not in the running for.

What is now released is that they also, in addition to 400 different Republicans turning point USA, different conservative groups, they went after Susie Wiles and Kash Patel.

Here's what CBS reported.

Quote, at least 10 FBI employees who worked for former special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into President Trump's retention of classified records after he left the White House in 2021 were fired on Wednesday, multiple sources told CBS News.

The firings came after Reuters reported that the FBI had subpoenaed records of phone calls made by FBI Director Kash Patel and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles when they were both still private citizens as part of Smith's probe into Trump.

The Reuters article quoted Patel, who alleged that the FBI had secretly subpoenaed his phone records, using flimsy pretexts and burying the entire proceeds in prohibited case files designed to evade all oversight.

The Reuters article added that it had not independently verified any of Patel's claims.

Patel did not provide any evidence of wrongdoing by the staff who were terminated.

And you go on to say, CBS News confirmed with a source familiar with the matter that Wiles' record were reviewed as part of the documents case, but was unable to verify whether Patel's were.

In the case involving the 2020 election, known as Arctic Frost, by the way, that is named after a disease that strikes oranges in the state of Florida, like the fruit oranges.

Let's get clear on this.

The name of the FBI investigation was essentially a pun on Orange Man Bad.

This is a disease that kills oranges in Florida.

We, the FBI, Democrats using our power,
