Last night—while I presided—the Senate delivered both a funding bill and a private right of action to combat Jack Smith's lawlessness.
We are going to drag Arctic Frost from the court of public opinion to the highest courts in our land.
Here is why this is such a big deal.🧵

The Senate passed a continuing resolution to fund the government through January, along with a "minibus" containing three appropriations bills: MilCon/VA, Ag, and Legislative Branch.
The key provision here is in the Legislative Branch appropriations bill.

At the very end of that appropriations bill is Section 213. This provision does many things to improve 2 U.S.C. § 6628:
• It mandates data disclosures
• It updates the notification requirements
• It creates a Private Right of Action
This last one is the most important.

Just a few weeks ago, when I called for the impeachment of rogue Judge Boasberg, this same provision—2 U.S.C. § 6628—was the key. Arctic Frost broke the law.
However, there was no statutory cause of action or criminal penalty attached—only impeachment.

But this new cause of action will allow any Senator whose data was violated under 2 U.S.C. § 6628 to sue and drag Jack Smith and his cronies into federal court.
These claims can be brought against retroactive violations of 2 U.S.C. § 6628, so long as they occurred after January 1, 2022.
This encompasses the entire Arctic Frost subpoena frenzy pursued by Jack Smith and rubber-stamped by Judge Boasberg.

This new provision is going to drag the Arctic Frost cover-up into federal court with full discovery, depositions, and under-oath testimony.
Senators must sue everyone involved.

Fear not, this won't slow down the impeachment train for Judge Boasberg.
If anything, we are only beginning to pick up steam on that front.
As for potential criminal law violations from the Biden-era weaponization: The indictments will continue to flow.
