WTAS: Grassley Has "Done the Republic a Service" in Exposing Jack Smith's Weaponized Investigations

BUTLER COUNTY, IOWA - Last week, U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) released new bombshell records exposing former Special Counsel Jack Smith's weaponized investigations targeting President Trump, members of the media and thousands of everyday Americans.

Here's what they're saying about Grassley's oversight:

New York Post Editorial Board
Democrats must answer for Jack Smith's politically charged prosecutorial abuses

"The Senate Judiciary Committee last week dropped evidence that Biden-er[a] special counsel Jack Smith savagely abused prosecutorial powers for purely political purposes - an outrage Democrats as of now seem sure to repeat when next they run the Executive Branch…

"Now we know that Smith, in his Capt. Ahab pursuit of Trump, went after complete innocents - spying on thousands of average Americans, obtaining their home addresses, bank account and routing numbers, and signatures. Their crime? Donating to Trump, in some cases as little as $1…

"Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley's done the republic a service by bringing Smith's outrages to light."

Daily Caller
Investigation Into Jack Smith Suggests He Was The Real Threat To Democracy

"A Senate Judiciary Committee investigation into former special counsel Jack Smith has revealed how far his probe of President Donald Trump reached, extending to members of Congress, media outlets, and the financial records of thousands of Americans.

"Grassley argued that while Smith framed his work as an investigation into the January 6 Capitol riot, the scope of his subpoenas showed a broader effort to target the Republican Party."

Jack Smith Spying On Trump Donors Is Latest Dem Ploy To Chill Americans' Political Speech

"An Iowan donated $10 to President Donald Trump months before the 2020 election. As a result, then-Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained his home address, bank information, and other personal information and handed it over to the Biden administration's FBI and DOJ…

"Americans considering donating $10, $1,000, or $10,000 to political causes they agree with should not have to fear that they will be doxxed or end up on a government list. But each time targeting and doxxing does happen, it makes ordinary citizens consider staying out of politics all together. And if Democrats can't convince Americans to switch parties, they will try to make them scared of expressing their political beliefs."
