Joe Biden's Department of Justice turned federal law enforcement into a political weapon aimed at Trump and anyone who supported him.
Special Counsel Jack Smith led the charge with his Arctic Frost investigation that swept up hundreds of Republicans in an unprecedented surveillance dragnet.
And now Harmeet Dhillon just revealed Jack Smith crossed a line that should terrify every American who values their Constitutional rights.
Dhillon Law Group Caught in Biden DOJ's Dragnet
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon dropped a bombshell during her appearance on the New York Post's "Pod Force One" podcast this week.
The conservative attorney revealed that Jack Smith's Arctic Frost probe didn't just spy on Republican senators and congressmen.
Smith went after their lawyers too.
"My law firm represented the former president and his campaign and my law firm's name, The Dhillon Law Group, is repeatedly mentioned in the Arctic Frost disclosures as a target of these communications," Dhillon told host Miranda Devine.¹
Devine asked point-blank: "They spied on you?"
"Yes," Dhillon confirmed. "We were part of the investigative targets."²
The Dhillon Law Group represented the Republican National Committee, Trump's campaign, and other conservative organizations that Smith apparently decided made them enemies of the state.
Dhillon founded her law practice and has spent years defending conservative causes in court against government overreach.
Now she's learned the Biden administration was monitoring her firm's communications the entire time.
Smith Trampled Attorney-Client Privilege
Attorney-client privilege stands as one of the most fundamental protections in American law.
It ensures Americans can speak freely with their lawyers without fear the government will use those private communications against them.
"There's almost never an excuse to pierce a lawyer's privilege," Dhillon explained during the interview.³
Yet Jack Smith had no problem violating that sacred protection when it came to Trump's legal team.
"And yet, we've seen this Department of Justice and the prior ones, go after many lawyers, go after their communications with their clients," Dhillon stated.⁴
The Arctic Frost investigation issued 197 subpoenas targeting 430 Republican individuals and entities according to documents released by Senator Chuck Grassley in October.⁵
Smith obtained phone records from at least eight Republican senators and one House member without informing them.
Those senators included Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, and others who supported Trump.
The surveillance swept up conservative organizations like Turning Point USA, the Republican Attorneys General Association, and the Center for American Liberty that Dhillon co-founded.
Smith even subpoenaed records for America First Legal — an organization that didn't exist on January 6, 2021, the date his investigation supposedly focused on.⁶
Internal DOJ emails show Smith was warned about the "litigation risk" of surveilling members of Congress.
He did it anyway because career DOJ officials figured the "low likelihood that any of the Members listed below would be charged" meant "the litigation risk should be minimal."⁷
Translation: they knew they were violating Constitutional protections but gambled nobody would hold them accountable.
Trump's DOJ Now Investigating the Investigators
The tables have turned on Jack Smith and his team of partisan prosecutors.
Dhillon now serves as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights in the Trump administration.
She's investigating from the inside the same people who spied on her law firm.
"Trump's DOJ is going to get to the bottom of that abuse of power at some point," Dhillon promised.⁸
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed Smith on December 3 demanding he testify before the committee on December 17.
"Due to your service as Special Counsel, the Committee believes that you possess information that is vital to its oversight of this matter," Jordan wrote in his subpoena letter.⁹
FBI Director Kash Patel already fired multiple agents connected to Arctic Frost and shut down the unit after discovering the scope of political surveillance.
Senator Josh Hawley called Arctic Frost "Biden's Stasi" and said the abuse of power went "beyond Watergate."
"The truth comes out. Biden's Stasi who claimed to be saving 'our sacred democracy' in fact worked overtime to destroy it — all for power," Hawley stated.¹⁰
The Arctic Frost scandal reveals just how corrupted Biden's DOJ became under Merrick Garland.
Smith and his prosecutors believed they were above the law as long as they were targeting Trump and his supporters.
They violated attorney-client privilege, spied on members of Congress, and swept up hundreds of conservatives in a political witch hunt.
Now those same prosecutors face accountability from the administration they tried to destroy.
And Harmeet Dhillon — one of the attorneys they illegally surveilled — sits in a position to make sure every one of them faces consequences for weaponizing the Justice Department.
