The American people just learned that the FBI secretly subpoenaed the phone records of Kash Patel and Susie Wiles in 2022 and 2023 while both were private citizens, a jaw-dropping revelation first reported by Reuters and confirmed by Fox News. These subpoenas were tied to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s probe of former President Trump, exposing a pattern of intrusive investigative tactics aimed squarely at the political opposition. This is the kind of unilateral power grab that should make every patriot furious and demand immediate answers.
Kash Patel, now the nation’s FBI director, rightly called the seizures “outrageous and deeply alarming,” and said the records were buried in files labeled “Prohibited” to avoid oversight. That admission alone proves this was not routine policing but a clandestine operation designed to hide the bureau’s tracks from accountability. If law enforcement thinks it can rummage through ordinary Americans’ records and paper over the evidence, they are mistaken and should expect a reckoning.
Susie Wiles, now White House chief of staff, told associates she was “in shock” to learn her toll records had been seized, and reports say the FBI even recorded a call between Wiles and her attorney in 2023 with the attorney’s knowledge, while Wiles herself was not informed. These are not victimless technicalities; recording calls with lawyers and officials strikes directly at attorney-client privilege and the fundamental liberties Americans rely on. Conservatives should see this as yet more evidence that federal law enforcement was used as a political cudgel instead of a neutral guardian of the Constitution.
Make no mistake: the subpoenas of “toll records” amounted to mapping who talked to whom and when, and prosecutors routinely obtain such data — but what separates legitimate investigations from political surveillance is transparency and good faith. The fact that these records were hidden in restricted files during the Biden Justice Department’s probe of that era proves the need for strict limits on prosecutorial fiat and an immediate tightening of rules governing classified and restricted file designations. Americans deserve a Justice Department that enforces the law equally, not one that bends the rules to target political opponents.
When the truth came into the light, Director Patel moved swiftly, firing at least ten FBI employees tied to the Mar-a-Lago probe — a necessary step to restore integrity to a deeply compromised bureau. Patriots who have watched the Justice Department weaponize investigations against conservatives for years are breathing a collective sigh of relief, while some within the FBI establishment howl about due process. Accountability is not revenge; it is the restoration of trust in institutions that have drifted far from their founding purpose.
Now is the time for Congress and the American people to demand full transparency: release the internal files, explain who authorized these subpoenas, and put an end to secretive classifications that shield misconduct. Director Patel’s decision to end the “Prohibited” file category was a good first step, but real reform must follow — stronger oversight, clearer limits on special counsels, and criminal penalties for officials who weaponize surveillance. If we love liberty and the rule of law, we must act decisively to ensure this never happens again.
