MAGA Demands Jack Smith’s Arrest After FBI Spied on GOP Senators

Prominent figures in President Trump’s MAGA movement are demanding the arrest of former special counsel Jack Smith following revelations that the FBI monitored the cell phones of Republican senators as part of its Arctic Frost investigation.

According to documents released on October 6 by the Senate Judiciary Committee, the FBI tracked the call data and locations of ten Republican senators between January 4 and 7, 2021—a window that included the January 6 Capitol riot. This intelligence formed the foundation of Smith’s special counsel investigation into Trump, which eventually resulted in criminal charges later dropped after Trump’s 2024 election victory.

Why It Matters

For years, Trump described the legal cases against him as a politically motivated “witch hunt.” In August 2025, the Office of Special Counsel confirmed it had opened an investigation into Jack Smith’s conduct. Now, with proof that the FBI under the Biden administration spied on Republican lawmakers, Trump allies argue this represents weaponization of government worse than Watergate.

Who Was Targeted

The senators reportedly spied on included Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, Marsha Blackburn, Bill Hagerty, Dan Sullivan, Cynthia Lummis, and Mike Kelly.

The Backlash

Outrage from Trump’s supporters was swift:

• Eric Daugherty called the revelations a “BOMBSHELL” and said, “This is grounds for ARREST.”

• General Mike Flynn posted that the FBI should “arrest Jack Smith immediately.”

• Senator Chuck Grassley accused the FBI of weaponization “worse than Watergate.”

• Senate Majority Leader John Thune declared the spying an “outrageous abuse of power.”

Meanwhile, former prosecutor Jeffrey Toobin argued on CNN that Smith had openly cited these communications in his report, insisting there was nothing secretive about the surveillance.

What Happens Next

The Trump administration has yet to announce whether criminal charges will be pursued against Smith. If it does, critics will frame the move as part of a revenge campaign against political opponents. Supporters, however, say accountability is long overdue for the Biden-era FBI.

One thing is clear: the Arctic Frost revelations have reignited the debate over government surveillance, political weaponization, and whether America’s justice system can still be trusted.
