Johnson Targeted by Biden DOJ’s Arctic Frost
Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) released the following statement regarding Operation Arctic Frost in which President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice officials obtained and reviewed the Congressman’s text messages. The investigative team improperly reviewed the messages of 44 Members of Congress.
“My text messages obtained by Jack Smith’s rogue investigation team shows an unprecedented level of carelessness for the rule of law and the constitutional separation of powers,” said Johnson. “I’m grateful to the whistleblowers who brought these acts to light and to the Senate Judiciary Committee for continuing this Congressional oversight.”
Johnson will review the classified information obtained by the Justice Department.
Background:
The U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary released evidence that the United States Department of Justice Special Counsel investigation lead by Jack Smith improperly obtained and reviewed text messages from Members of Congress from across political lines.

The Biden administration didn’t treat the Department of Justice like a personal legal hit squad. Prosecutors followed evidence, not marching orders from a political war room. Now we’re watching MAGA figures cry “weaponization” while simultaneously trying to bend the DOJ to their own ends—and in doing so, they’re telling on themselves.
If federal investigators were looking into MAGA-aligned representatives, the obvious question isn’t outrage—it’s motive. What triggered that scrutiny? What conduct raised enough red flags to warrant federal attention? And more importantly, why are the loudest voices demanding transparency suddenly uninterested in releasing the facts behind it?
You don’t get to shout “witch hunt” while hiding the broomsticks.
Jack Smith’s “rouge” investigation?
Smith doesn’t care about the Bill of Rights and unreasonable, unconstitutional seizures of Dusty’s personal communications, but apparently Smith is investigating congressional cosmetics.
*rogue, but thanks for the laugh
