Episode Transcription

Welcome to the Jenny Beth Show.

Jenny Beth Martin (00:18):

Welcome to the Jenny Beth Show Saturday bonus. I'm Jenny Beth Martin. This week we expose what may be the most dangerous abuse of power in modern American history. The partisan weaponization of the government under the Biden Administration's Arctic Frost operation. This so-called investigation, targeted conservatives, Trump supporters, and even sitting Republican senators and congressmen. It wasn't justice, it was political persecution. Today we're bringing you one of our most powerful moments from Monday's broadcast, my conversation with Rachel Beard, Cleta Mitchell and former Congressman Bob McEwen, who explained why this scandal is worse than Watergate and why accountability must come now.

Cleta Mitchell (01:01):

So one tentacle is what they did to sitting members of the United States Senate. That's a whole, the separation of powers, the speech and debate clause, so many things that were implicated. Abuses of constitutional rights, abuses of the law, violations of the law. One that I've chosen to focus on, mainly because these people are still under criminal indictment as we are sitting here today. And that is the Trump electors, his lawyers and random people that these partisan Democrats in the five states, the Democrat ags in Arizona and Wisconsin, Michigan and Nevada, and the now infamous disgraced Democrat prosecutor in Fulton County, Georgia, Fannie Willis. And they basically took the information from the FBI's investigation, Arctic Frost investigation. And I believe that as we get more into the discovery of materials and information, we'll find that these people were indicted under state law. State law, but only at the instigation and the behest and acting as proxies for the federal government and the Biden administration. And so I believe President Trump should pardon every one of those people who were indicted as a result of this sprawling and unconstitutional investigation that resulted in these state charges when the FBI and the opening memo said that these were federal violations.

Jenny Beth Martin (02:38):

Okay, and I'm going to come back to that in the piece that you wrote in the Federalist, but before we discuss that, I think that Rachel is back with us. So Rachel, can you hear? And are you with us right now?

Rachel Bovard (02:53):

I'm able to hear you. I can

Jenny Beth Martin (02:54):

Hear you. Okay. Bob and Lea are going to be with us the full hour today, but Rachel's not able to, so I want to make sure we get Rachel's input. Rachel Cleta was explaining what Arctic Frost is, but perhaps you could also explain what it is, and then your group, the Conservative Partnership Institute was specifically targeted. So maybe talk a little bit about that and then we'll talk about Ed, but hold off before we discuss Ed.

Rachel Bovard (03:24):

Sure. Well, I'm sure Cleta already laid this out beautifully, but for those who haven't been following Arctic Frost, it is the most unprecedented and scaled attempt to meticulously and systematically take down the political right in this country by the efforts of Joe Biden through his Department of Justice and FBIA complete weaponization of government at a scale that I don't think anyone has ever seen. People keep making Watergate comparisons, but Watergate is child's play compared to the scope and vastness and breadth of this investigation. It ranged from sitting United States senators to organizations in the conservative movement to grassroots activists. It really is staggering how large this was. And it was Jack Smith's attempt to harass, bankrupt, smear and potentially jail. Anyone that was involved materially supporting the MAGA movement or just simply supporting Donald Trump. This was an attempt to make sure the right was suffocated under the weight of a politicized government. It's everything conservatives have been warning about for decades came to fruition in this investigation. So as you mentioned, CPI was rounded up as part of this through subpoenas that we were aware of, subpoenas we didn't know about and other areas of investigation I'm happy to talk about.

Jenny Beth Martin (04:40):

And then specifically one of the things that we saw from the documents that were just released in the last week or so, were email communications between FBI agents about your colleague and our friend Ed Corrigan and these, I think we're going to be able to pull a screenshot of that up. What did you think when you saw it as about your friend and your colleague?

Rachel Bovard (05:08):

It was shocking on two levels. One, it's shocking that anytime you see anything about people that you work with and respect, and Ed Corgan has been a mentor to me for over 10 years. Anytime you see people saying things like this about people is shocking, especially when they are false. But the other thing is that it was so unbelievable that someone to think this was actually a real thing. You would have to turn off the critical thinking part of your brain. You would have to think. A friend of mine called it Weaponized Blue Anon. It is so conspiracy laden, it reads like a subreddit hallucination, right? They were saying things like Ed Corrigan is pro Putin and Antibi and has bad plans for the fbi I and is training people for Civil War. For people who don't know what the Conservative Partnership Institute does, we are training and networking hub for the conservative movement.

(06:03):

50% of my time at Corrigan and I are teaching Senate staff. What cloture is to say or make allegations like this are just ludicrous, but more ludicrous and more really troubling is that the government couldn't see that these were so outrageous and so ridiculous that they used them as justification to further examine CPI in their wide and huge sweep. Because again, finding crimes was the point, but not really. The point was harassment. The point was bankruptcy. The point was smearing reputations and making the friction point and the cost for working in the conservative movement so high that no one would ever want to do it again. That was the point.

Jenny Beth Martin (06:49):

It was a point, and thankfully against all odds, president Trump was reelected and we are able to get to the truth of a lot of what we're seeing right now. Rachel, what do you think are things that we should be doing to help hold these people accountable? So this does not happen again.

Rachel Bovard (07:08):

Accountability is going to be vital, and I think it has to match the scale of what we've just seen. And so this can't be a traditional Republican exercise where they release some documents, they have an outrage press conference, they write some letters, maybe they have a hearing, and then everybody just moves on. That is not going to work here. The name and shame game is not going to work. There has to be accountability. Again, that matches the scale of what we just saw, which means everybody involved in this quote investigation from Jack Smith to Judge Bosberg to the line attorneys and agents and the FBI. There needs to be terminations. There needs to be impeachments, disbarments. All of the above need to be under consideration because this didn't just violate the law. This violated the system of laws. And you cannot have this happen in the United States of America. And the only way that you deter this going forward is you show very public, very serious and very consequential accountability. So this has to start now, not just in Congress, but of the Department of Justice as well.

Jenny Beth Martin (08:08):

Okay. And let's go to Congressman Bob Ewen, former Congressman Ewen. Bob, when you saw that so many members of Congress were actually personally targeted, they were subpoenaed, their phone records were subpoenaed, what did you think? Can you imagine if this had happened while you were an elected member? It is just shocking.

Bob McEwen (08:31):

Well, Jenny Beth, thank you for having both of these folks on, but lemme just piggyback on what Rachel just said, and that is this wasn't just a rogue activity by an irresponsible player. This was a deliberate intentional intent by the government of the United States, from the Commander in chief, from the president, the executive office, article two of the Constitution, including the Department Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a coordinated effort to take down political opposition across the board at state, federal, and local government. And the idea that they would go into the Congress and do such a thing is of course startling in and of itself. But the whole idea and the person they put in charge was a person who has great political animus. He went after a very popular governor of Virginia, a man who was considered an excellent governor and potential president of the United States.

(09:25):

He attacked him for doing absolutely nothing. They said that because he supported this business in his state, that somehow or another that was bribery, even though he didn't get any money. And in the course of doing it, he smeared his name, destroyed his political impact, bankrupt, as Rachel just pointed out, that the purpose of this is you cannot go to these meetings without taking a lawyer. And they asked inane questions over hours and hours knowing that it's costing you hundreds and thousands of dollars every hour. And so they bankrupted him and eventually he and his wife were divorced. And yet, by the time it got to the Supreme Court, this case by this same prosecutor, the Supreme Court dropped, kicked it into the Potomac. Unanimously, unanimously, and anybody else would've been embarrassed and ruined. But that's the person that Merrick and Biden chose to run this thing and to go in and to attack these God-fearing, freedom loving citizens who were electors.

(10:26):

That's an act of appreciation for someone who's labored long in the community. They're not of power or finance. They just put their name on there as an honor to go down in the history books as an elector and to put these people in jail and bankrupt them. This whole thing is beyond it. It's interesting is what they accuse other people of doing, that there will be no other fair elections that they want to shut down the government. This is what they do and what they've done and what Rachel said and what CLE have mentioned, this is not retribution for us to try to put a stop to this. This has, these people need to be put in jail. Unless if people can use the police power of the state, use the Justice Department and the courts to get people like Judge Bozeman and liars on the courts in order to do things that are totally illegal and pay no price for it, then you can rest assured the second that Donald Trump leaves office, they're going to do it again to the next and we will lose our freedom. It's essential for America to survive that the people that did these things must pay the penalty. They must be held accountable. And that's called justice. It's not called retribution, it's called justice.

Jenny Beth Martin (11:42):

That was a powerful reminder of what's at stake. Be sure to check out the full episode if you missed it in all the episodes from this week, the partisan weaponization of government threatens every American's freedom together. We can stop it by demanding accountability. Go to impeach bosberg.com and sign our petition. Tell Congress to impeach Judge Bosberg, and end this abuse of power. Then call your leftist senators and demand they reopen the government and stop funding this political lawfare.
