Summary

The thread claims that the FBI's "Operation Arctic Frost" under the Biden administration targeted 92 conservative groups and individuals, including Turning Point USA and Republican organizations, in what the author characterizes as a politically motivated fishing expedition led by partisan FBI agents. The author argues this demonstrates that the Left has treated conservatives as domestic enemies rather than legitimate political opponents, and calls out the hypocrisy of calls for unity.

    It just keeps getting worse. This week, we learned that Joe Biden's FBI was actively targeting 92 conservative groups and individuals in a massive fishing expedition. The list includes Charlie Kirk's organization, Turning Point USA. 🧵

  2. #2

    The FBI's "Operation Arctic Frost" was launched in 2022, under the pretenses of investigating the Trump campaign and its conservative allies. It was led by Tim Thibault—an FBI agent who was later forced to resign for his partisan corruption.

  3. #3

    Arctic Frost quickly ballooned into a Soviet "show me the man, I'll show you the crime" fishing expedition against the entire political Right—issuing over 400 subpoenas targeting 92 conservative groups/actors. It later morphed into the Jack Smith special counsel investigation.

  4. #4

    The targets of the probe included groups like the RNC, America First Policy Institute, and the various arms of the Trump campaign itself. It included the Republican Attorneys General Association—a group that I formerly chaired. And it included TPUSA and TPAction.

    As Senator Grassley put it, Arctic Frost was "the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and Department of Justice prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus."

    🚨 BREAKING: In a major revelation, Senator Chuck Grassley reveals that an FBI whistleblower confirmed a Bureau project named "Arctic Frost" targeted groups such as Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA. x.com/i/status/19679… "It was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and Department of Justice prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus." This is CRIMINAL.

    Charlie Kirk built the most effective youth movement on the Right in American history. That's why the Left hated him. It's why the media attacked and smeared him. And it's why the Biden administration was investigating him.

  7. #7

    The Biden administration and left-wing allies spent four years treating the conservative half of the country not as political opponents, but domestic enemies—not legitimate political actors, but dangerous extremists. And now they're calling for "unity"?

    Senator Eric Schmitt@SenEricSchmitt · Sep 16, 2025

    There can be no "unity" between good and evil. One side must win, and the other must lose.

    The Left waxes poetic about "free speech" when Jimmy Kimmel loses his show for brazenly lying to his viewers and plummeting in ratings. But when their side weaponize the federal agencies against the entire conservative movement—it's crickets.

  9. #9

    We can't have "unity" until we confront the truth: One side has embraced dangerous extremism. And it isn't us.

    Senator Eric Schmitt@SenEricSchmitt · Sep 17, 2025

    We can't unite if don't confront the facts. 25% of very liberal Americans think political violence can be justified. 55% of Americans on the Left believe assassinating President Trump would be somewhat justified. This is NOT a both sides issue.
