Jack Smith Tracked Republican Senators' Communications, Claims FBI

Source: MEDIAite

Oct 6th, 2025, 5:23 pm


The FBI alleged Monday that former Special Counsel Jack Smith allegedly surreptitiously tracked the private communications of at least eight Republican Senators and one representative.

Fox News Digital reported that Smith and his team allegedly tracked the phone calls of GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham (SC), Marsha Blackburn (TN), Ron Johnson (WI), Josh Hawley (MO), Cynthia Lummis (WY), Bill Hagerty (TN), Dan Sullivan (AK), Tommy Tuberville (AL) and GOP Rep. Mike Kelly (PA).

One of those allegedly targeted, Sen. Blackburn, told reporters, “The FBI under Joe Biden and under Barack Obama…they exercised activity that they had no authority to exercise…now we find out that after the Mar-a-Lago raids, after the indictment of President Trump, they surveil us — people who support President Trump. Members who are all Republicans.”

She continued, “But it shows you how out of control and rotten to the core and politicized the FBI had become. And how they had absolutely no problem at all whatsoever with political weaponization. We appreciate the information we have gotten today. We look forward to further investigation on this. ” The list of names was reportedly discovered by FBI Director Kash Patel and exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital. The document was dated Sept. 27, 2023, and refers to the FBI’s cellular analysis survey team.

In other words this didn’t happen because when the source is Fox News you know it is
a lie. Because lying is what Fox News does it is part of their everyday agenda and part
of its business model. Roger Ailes started Fox News because he thought that Dick Nixon
was treated unfairly by the media and an alternative media could have kept him in power.

BTW EPSTEIN mother fuckers.

2. They are once again trying to manufacture some kind of "justification"

to investigate and charge him.

Their ability to "manufacture" bogus evidence is failing - with Fed Governor Lisa Cook, NY AG Tish James, and the most spectacular, "scripted reality show" style version, has been with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The almost zero "hit rate" by people like Pirro and Habba, is an example that characterizes their bumbling nonsense.

3. News Corp is almost always 180 degrees from the truth to try to hide what the reality of the situation really is.

Trump broke a shit load of laws so time to talk about Jack Smith.

Trump’s mishandling of COVID caused @ least 1 million deaths in America and 14 million deaths
worldwide time to blame Dr. Fauci for something or another.

This quick look @ Jack Smith tells me something big is break on Epstein or Trump’s health.

Trump's supporters have no business in Congress. Working to end the Constitution makes them traitors to the nation.

16. In the Bondi hearing Josh Hawley claimed Jack Smith tapped Senators' phones.

He used the term "tap" and "wire-tap" several times in his indignant display of fake outrage.
Actually, Jack Smith got Grand Jury approval to access call logs. No call content. Hawley was grandstanding.
