U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) blasted cell phones providers on Thursday for handing over phone records of GOP Senators to the Biden administration.
The FBI revealed earlier this week that Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team tracked the private communications and call records of nearly a dozen GOP lawmakers, including Tuberville.
Tuberville, who is also a candidate for Governor of Alabama in 2026, discussed the issue on the “Alex Jones Show.”
“AT&T, what gives you the right to give the Department of Justice a sitting United States Senator’s information without calling or saying, ‘Listen, this is what you’re trying to do’? This is absolutely insane that we have a company that doesn’t push back on this. ‘Wait a minute. These people are United States senators. You sure you want to do this?’ I mean, you have to have some kind of criminality behind this subpoena. And there was zero. So I’ve got a lot of questions to ask about that.”
The FBI document at issue, dated September 2023, states that an agent on Smith’s team “conducted preliminary toll analysis” on numbers associated with Republican U.S. Senators.
“Basically, Jack Smith, he brought a group together, and the FBI, and said, ‘Listen, I’m gonna tap y’all as the ones that’s gonna look into these eight senators. You’re the ones that’s gonna do this.’ So you heard earlier in the week after this came out, that Kash Patel fired these people,” Tuberville explained.
“They needed to be fired. That should have never happened. But again, this is all goes back to a corrupt Department of Justice that has been consumed by the deep state. And if we don’t do something about this, our country won’t survive.”
Tuberville said he believes there will be even more that comes out revealing the deep corruption at the DOJ under Biden.
“This investigation, Alex is the tip of the iceberg,” he argued. “It just started, and I’m anxious to see where it all goes. But if it hadn’t been for the whistleblowers that come out and told Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, ‘listen, this is where you look. This is what they did. This is where it’s at.’ We would have never known what was going on. They were criminals. Jack Smith shouldn’t even be a dog catcher I mean, it is absolutely embarrassing for somebody like that to represent the United States of American Department of Justice.”
That list also included U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee), Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin), Josh Hawley (R-Missouri), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyoming), Bill Hagerty (R-Tennessee), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska).
