华盛顿讯——据参议院共和党委员会获得的传票回执显示,前特别顾问杰克·史密斯获取了63.9万名共和党捐赠者、选民及支持者的个人信息,其中一些人仅捐赠了1美元,或只是购买了“红色MAGA帽子”。
WASHINGTON — Ex-special counsel Jack Smith obtained personal information on 639,000 Republican donors, voters and supporters — including some who contributed as little as $1 or bought “red MAGA hats” — according to subpoena returns obtained by a Senate Republican committee.
参议院司法委员会主席查克·格拉斯利(共和党,爱荷华州)在周三的一份备忘录中披露了史密斯办公室所获数据的详细情况,并谴责这位特朗普总统的前检察官“滥用职权”。这些发现记录在超过14.8万行的电子表格中,涵盖2005年至2021年的捐赠者信息。
In a Wednesday memo, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) disclosed the details of data Smith’s office received, denouncing the former prosecutor of President Trump for “abuse of authority.”More than 148,000 rows on spreadsheets contained the findings, including donors from 2005 to 2021.
出生日期、家庭住址、电子邮件地址、共和党注册信息,以及信用卡或就业历史信息等也被大量收集。
Dates of birth, home addresses, email addresses, Republican party registration, information about credit cards or employment history were also hoovered up.
格拉斯利在备忘录中写道:“这份更新显示,杰克·史密斯和拜登政府司法部收集了极其侵入性的捐赠者数据以及选民数据,这些数据的收集远远超出了史密斯或其团队履行特别顾问职责所可能需要的范围。”
“This update shows that Jack Smith and the Biden Justice Department collected incredibly invasive donor data — and voter data — beyond what could conceivably be necessary for Smith or his team to fulfill the Special Counsel’s mandate,” Grassley wrote in the memo.
他补充道:“这些新发现进一步证实,史密斯及其带有党派倾向的团队旨在绘制出整个共和党的组织网络。”
“The new findings further corroborate that Smith and his partisan team aimed to map out the entire Republican Party apparatus,” he added.
这些信息还包括共和党竞选团队助理和志愿者的姓名,以及捐赠金额在1美元至1000美元之间的党内捐赠者。
That included names of Republican campaign aides and volunteers, as well as party donors who contributed anywhere between $1 and $1,000.
备忘录还指出,有关红色“让美国再次伟大”帽子的信息也被共享,包括购买者的姓名和家庭住址。
Information on red Make America Great Again hats was also shared, including the buyers’ names and home addresses.
此外,史密斯办公室还收集了2024年的“特朗普竞选产品,包括这些红色帽子、T恤、马克杯和门垫”。
Smith’s office further collected 2024 “Trump campaign products including these red hats, t-shirts, mugs, and door mats,” the memo noted.
在史密斯准备以试图推翻乔·拜登2020年选举胜利为由对特朗普提出指控之际,举报人披露了这位特别顾问所展开的广泛调查。
Whistleblowers disclosed the new info about the wide net the special counsel cast, as Smith was gearing up to indict Trump for attempting to reverse Joe Biden’s 2020 victory.
这项调查最初是联邦调查局代号为“北极霜冻”的行动,共和党人则称该调查对政界人士——包括许多在不知情的情况下被窃听电话和短信的人士——以及党内盟友实施了水门事件级别的滥用权力行为。
That probe, which began as an FBI investigation codenamed “Arctic Frost,” has been cited by Republicans as having committed Watergate-level abuses against politicians — including many who had their phone calls and text messages obtained without their knowledge — and party allies.
“我再次呼吁民主党的同僚们与我一同展开监督工作,而不是试图包庇史密斯、掩盖他滥用职权的行为,”格拉斯利在致参议院司法委员会资深成员、伊利诺伊州民主党参议员迪克·德宾的备忘录中说道。史密斯的律师们未对置评请求作出回应。
“I again call on my Democratic colleagues to join my oversight work instead of trying to defend Smith and sweep his abuse of authority under the rug,” Grassley said in the memo to Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Lawyers for Smith did not respond to a request for comment.
共和党全国委员会表示,美国民众不应因其政治立场而成为针对对象。
The Republican National Committee said Americans should not be targeted for their political beliefs.
“民主党人将联邦政府当作对付政治对手的工具,如今我们终于看清他们究竟做得有多过分,”共和党全国委员会选举诚信事务传播主管艾莉·特里奥对《华盛顿邮报》说道,“将数十万名共和党捐赠者与支持者列为目标,这种行为是对权力的严重滥用。”
“Democrats weaponized the federal government against their political opponents, and now we’re seeing just how far they went,” RNC Election Integrity Communications Director Ally Triolo told The Post. “Targeting hundreds of thousands of Republican donors and supporters is a chilling abuse of power.”
