🧩 1. Political Weaponization of Federal Agencies (Operation Arctic Frost):
Operation Arctic Frost was a DOJ/FBI investigation launched in April 2022, described as a “Sensitive Investigative Matter.”
It allegedly targeted Donald Trump, Republican senators, and GOP-aligned organizations under the pretext of investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Senator Chuck Grassley claims to have obtained documents proving that Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy AG Lisa Monaco, and FBI Director Christopher Wray personally approved the operation.
Grassley argues the operation was a partisan overreach, comparing it to a scandal “worse than Watergate.”
The investigation reportedly included surveillance of at least nine Republican senators, including Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, and Marsha Blackburn, as well as 92 conservative organizations like Turning Point USA.
The operation is portrayed as a broad effort to suppress political opposition to the Biden administration.

🎲 2. NBA Gambling and Mafia-Backed Corruption Scandal:
The FBI announced two major indictments:

Insider NBA sports betting involving players and coaches leaking confidential information to manipulate game outcomes for betting profits.
Rigged underground poker games backed by La Cosa Nostra (including the Bonanno, Gambino, and Genovese crime families).
Notable individuals named:

Chauncey Billups (current NBA coach)
Terry Rozier (current NBA player)
Damon Jones (former NBA player and coach)
High-tech cheating tools were used in poker games:

Altered shuffling machines
X-ray tables
Hidden cameras
Marked cards with special glasses
The FBI emphasized this as a multi-year, multi-state operation involving tens of millions of dollars in fraud, money laundering, and extortion.
FBI Director Cash Patel (possibly a fictional or misattributed name) declared this as the beginning of a broader crackdown on organized crime and corruption in sports.
