Biden DOJ, Jack Smith obtained data on 639K donors in Arctic Frost probe: Grassley

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley on Wednesday revealed the Biden Justice Department and Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained detailed donor data and voter information on over 639,000 individuals during the Arctic Frost investigation.The types of information contained in the spreadsheet include: names, dates of birth, addresses, email addresses, party affiliation, places of employment, donation amounts, credit card information, and donor habits. 
Additionally, the donor and potential voter data ranged from 2005 to 2021, which Grassley described as “well outside Smith’s scope of purported review.” At the time, Smith was probing President Donald Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. 
This is further evidence, the Iowa senator said, “that the Special Counsel operation was designed to map out the Republican Party.” 
“Jack Smith’s SCO and Biden’s Justice Department obtained spreadsheets containing Republican campaign donors, supporters, and detailed personal voter information in various formats, totaling over 639,000 individuals, at minimum,” Grassley wrote in a memo to his committee. “Out of those, over 148,000 rows are identified in the spreadsheets as donors. The donors generally contributed small dollar amounts.” 
The data were provided to Grassley in response to the senator’s subpoenas seeking further information on Smith’s efforts to gain data on Trump-aligned groups. It follows the senator’s September revelation that Smith subpoenaed roughly 5,000 checks from Americans who made donations to President Donald Trump’s campaign during his investigation.
Additionally, Grassley found that Smith’s Special Counsel’s Office and the Biden Justice Department obtained the names of Trump campaign personnel, possibly including volunteers.
They also obtained information on “sales of red MAGA hats, including individual buyers, their purchases and their shipping addresses for home delivery.”
