The Biden Bunch’s Ice Age of Investigations

Leave it to Chuck Grassley, that dogged Iowa farmer-turned-senator, to crank up the heat on the frozen tundra of federal overreach. For years, the Biden administration’s Justice Department treated the rule of law like a snow cone at a polar bear picnic—melting it down to fit their narrative.

Now, with documents trickling out like a leaky igloo, we’re seeing how Special Counsel Jack Smith turned what should have been a targeted probe into a full-blown blizzard against anyone waving a Republican flag. It’s the kind of government excess that makes you wonder if the Constitution came with a “handle with care” warning.

The Arctic Frost Debacle

Arctic Frost wasn’t some climate study gone wrong; it was the FBI’s code name for digging into supposed false electors schemes after the 2020 election dust-up. Launched under the Biden watch, this probe laid the groundwork for Smith’s charges against Donald Trump on the elector front. But instead of laser-focusing on evidence, it sprawled like a bad hangover, subpoenaing records left and right. By October 29, 2025, Grassley’s oversight had unearthed 197 subpoenas straight from Smith’s team—aimed at 34 individuals and 163 businesses, from tech giants to financial outfits. These weren’t polite requests; they hauled in data on over 400 Republican targets, sniffing around communications that smacked of conservative coordination. It’s as if the feds decided the entire right-wing ecosystem was one big conspiracy theory waiting to be thawed.

Spying on the Senate

Things got icier when Grassley dropped a bombshell on October 6, 2025: the FBI had quietly analyzed phone records from eight Republican senators back in September 2023, all under this Arctic Frost umbrella. No heads-up, no warrants waved in their faces—just the quiet crunch of metadata being crunched. The bureau even cooked up “Prohibited Access files” to keep the dirt contained, limiting who could peek inside. Imagine senators, elected to check the executive branch, getting checked themselves by the very spies they’re supposed to oversee. It’s the sort of circular firing squad that would make Nixon blush, but with more smartphones involved.

A Fishing Expedition in Partisan Waters

Zoom out, and Arctic Frost looks less like justice and more like a dragnet for dissenters. Roughly 160 Republican figures might have ended up in the crosshairs, their calls, texts, and dealings vacuumed up in a hunt for anything that smelled like challenging the 2020 outcome. Smith’s crew defended it as routine, but when you’re subpoenaing toll records and business logs en masse, it starts resembling that old Soviet habit of watching everyone who didn’t applaud loud enough. The Biden-era DOJ signed off on broad powers in a 2022 memo, unleashing this without much restraint—proving once again that absolute power might not corrupt absolutely, but it sure freezes out the opposition.

Thawing Out the Rest

Grassley’s not done shoveling; he’s been at this since July 2022, firing off demands to the DOJ, FBI, and even the Department of Defense for every scrap of paper on how the administration targeted sitting members of Congress. Expect more subpoenas to surface, perhaps peeling back layers on exactly who greenlit the senator snooping or how deep the tech company dives went. With the Trump administration now in the driver’s seat, calls for Smith to testify—echoed across Capitol Hill—could turn into a subpoena showdown of their own. Whistleblowers have already whispered about partisan rot in the ranks; as the ice melts, we might see accountability that actually sticks, or at least enough sunlight to make the deep state squint. In Washington, truth emerges slower than a polar thaw, but Grassley’s persistence is the blowtorch we need. America First means draining these swamps, one frozen file at a time.
