As RedState’s Susie Moore reported Monday, the FBI revealed bombshell information that former Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team spied on nearly a dozen GOP senators as part of the "Arctic Frost" investigation into January 6th and the 2020 election. According to documents released by Director Kash Patel, Smith and his gang allegedly tracked the phone calls of GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and GOP Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania.
Patel wasted little time in reacting, and on Tuesday, he ousted the whole group and warned that further consequences would be forthcoming:
The FBI has already terminated employees and abolished the CR-15 squad just one day after it was revealed that several Republicans’ private communications and phone calls had been tracked.
FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday announced the actions the bureau had taken in response to the revelation of the "baseless monitoring" during the Biden administration and promised more actions to come.
"We are cleaning up a diseased temple three decades in the making — identifying the rot, removing those who weaponized law enforcement for political purposes and those who do not meet the standards of this mission while restoring integrity to the FBI. I promised reform, and I intend to deliver it," Patel said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

The director posted to social media about his actions:
Transparency is important and accountability is critical. We promised both, and this is what promises kept looks like. This FBI is delivering.

The tweet continues:
As a result of our latest disclosure about the baseless monitoring of members of Congress by the prior leadership team of the FBI, we have already taken the following actions:
We terminated employees, we abolished the weaponized CR-15 squad, and we initiated an ongoing investigation with more accountability measures ahead.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino replied to the post, saying, "We promised you transparency and accountability. We will continue to deliver on those promises. You deserve better."
Missouri GOP Sen. Josh Hawley was allegedly one of those targeted, and he was not amused. Patel told him, “We’re ON IT.”
This @FBI discovered and exposed the weaponization of law enforcement.

The weaponization of our government and especially our Justice Department under former President Joe Biden and corrupt Attorney General Merrick Garland was one of the most egregious abuses of power we have seen in this country, and, in many people’s opinions—including my own—far worse than Watergate. They abused, spied on, and prosecuted their political foes and regular Americans like it was an addiction.
Now that Trump is back in power and has his team in place, we’re seeing more than just strongly worded letters—we're seeing consequences. It comes not a minute too soon.
