Senator Schmitt Discusses Weaponization of DOJ Under Biden on Rob Schmitt Tonight
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) appeared on Newsmax’s’ Rob Schmitt Tonight this evening to discuss the FBI’s investigation into the Biden Era weaponization of the Justice Department, their censorship campaign, and how to restore trust for the American people.
Watch the full interview HERE.
Schmitt on the FBI’s Investigation in John Brennan and James Comey
“There needs to be a real investigation into his efforts, and Comey’s efforts, to sabotage the Trump campaign, and then once he came into office, the cloud of this ridiculous Russiagate sort of loomed over the administration in the early days of the administration, and that was the intent. I just think the idea that you were spying on a presidential candidate and then continuing these lies into the administration, there has to be some accountability. The other thing that’s true, Rob, is that if President Trump wouldn’t have mounted this historic comeback, which is what this was, right? I mean…we’ve never seen anything like this in our lifetime, where a president who was in office then comes back for a non-consecutive term, all this stuff would continue to be brushed under the rug by the legacy media and the Democrats. You wouldn’t have any accountability for any of this stuff that I think we’re kind of getting to, but this really reeks of corruption of the worst kind, when you have the head of these kinds of agencies leading in really an espionage effort against the President of the United States. It doesn’t get much more terrible than that.”
Schmitt on the Biden Censorship Campaign:
“Barack Obama ought to be thanking his lucky stars for that presidential immunity case that came down about a year ago that President Trump’s legal team, John Sauer, who’s now the Solicitor General of the United States, argued, because who knows what you’d find there, but I think that’s the right place to look. Let’s not also forget that going into the reelection campaign of 2020 the same intelligence community with different actors involved, really the deep state of the deep state then, was claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop story was just Russian disinformation, again, trying to associate President Trump with that kind of efforts, even though they knew it was real. The FBI knew it was real when we took Elvis Chan’s deposition in the Missouri versus Biden case I handled on the censorship enterprise that they established, they were trying to pre bunk the story. They knew it was Hunter Biden’s laptop, yet they were telling people that it was going to be a Russian hack and link operation. This whole thing that went on for years to try to discredit Trump, I think all this stuff has to come to light now, because we can never let this happen again. It’s time, I think, for, you know, sort of clean house here.”

“The uniqueness of this comeback provides some perspective now for President Trump and his team. Think about it, he now has the full sort of information and knowledge of what went on a few years past. He had to go through hell, literally, they’re trying to put him in jail for the rest of his life and bankrupt his family. He survived not just the criminal and civil litigation, but then the electoral math to win in a landslide, but the ability to put his team together and have fresh eyes on something like this. I’m not sure you would have seen that in a consecutive term, right in dealing with COVID, everything else is going on. You look at all the momentum we’ve got right now with the Big, Beautiful Bill and all these other things, I think a lot of people are nervous for their corrupt actions from a few years ago, and they probably should be.”
Schmitt on restoring trust in the Justice Department:
“Well, it’s interesting. These are some of the questions, I’m on the Judiciary Committee, when we had Kash Patel’s confirmation hearing, I think he has a very unique perspective, because he was also a target of these efforts to discredit and to smear and the weaponization of government. You also had a lot of people that are high ranking members now of the Justice Department that went through that as well. Remember the Biden administration? They were trying to purge anybody, anybody that had anything to do with MAGA or the Trump administration. They were going after people making sure they couldn’t get jobs in the private sector. I mean, this was really a mean spirited campaign to destroy the lives of a lot of people, now guess what happened? Those people now are in positions of authority to actually restore trust amongst the American people. This isn’t about paybacks. It never has been, nor should it be. What it is about is restoring the trust that was lost through the weaponization of government to the likes we’ve never seen before in the history of this Country.”
