Watching Rob Schmitt enjoy the sight of Democrats “clutching their pearls” is more than theater — it’s a signal that finally someone in power is treating the left’s lawless era as a real problem to be fixed. The Justice Department under this administration has opened criminal inquiries into former officials who once weaponized intel and leaks against political opponents, including high-profile names long protected by the press.
Those inquiries have already produced tangible results, with a federal grand jury returning an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey in late September — a development that would have seemed unimaginable when the media treated him like a martyr. The indictment alleges false statements and obstruction related to his testimony about the Russia investigation, and it shows what happens when politics no longer shields elite misconduct.
Democrats predictably cried foul, accusing Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ of politicization during a heated Senate hearing where tensions boiled over. Their outrage rings hollow to patriotic Americans who remember the years when the FBI and DOJ were tilted into political operations aimed at taking down President Trump and his allies.
Rob Schmitt was blunt on-air: this is payback for the weaponization of government — and watching the same “anti‑American conspirators” who targeted our movement now squirm is, in his words, priceless. Conservatives aren’t celebrating vendettas; we’re cheering the restoration of accountability and the rule of law after years of one-sided prosecutions that treated political enemies as untouchable.
Restoring the DOJ’s credibility means cleaning house and pursuing honest investigations wherever the evidence leads, even if that makes the coastal elites uncomfortable. Republican voices from Capitol Hill and conservative media have repeatedly warned that reform was overdue, and the current wave of scrutiny is the result of those warnings finally being acted upon.
To hardworking Americans watching this spectacle, the message is clear: institutions must answer to the people, not to a political class that thinks itself above the law. Let the critics clutch their pearls — real justice doesn’t cower to theatrics, and accountability for those who abused power is not revenge, it’s patriotism.
