The recent indictment of former FBI director James Comey marks a long overdue moment of accountability for a man who for years operated above the law while weaponizing the nation’s most powerful law-enforcement agencies. Conservatives who watched the Russiagate circus unfold always suspected this day would come, and the grand jury’s actions confirm what millions already knew: the system was abused and cover-ups were real.
Senator Eric Schmitt didn’t mince words when he joined Sunday Morning Futures to lay out what many patriots have been saying for years — Comey was part of a years-long conspiracy that targeted a political opponent and corrodes trust in our institutions. Schmitt warned that Comey’s indictment is not the end but the beginning, and that more reckonings and indictments are likely as investigators follow the trail.
That isn’t idle talk from the right; other Republican leaders have echoed the same forecast, making clear this administration intends to pursue those who weaponized the Justice Department and media for partisan ends. From the president to senators and conservative commentators, the message is consistent: accountability will not stop at one name and the swamp’s entrenchment in the capital is finally getting a daylight it deserves.
Make no mistake, this moment arrives amid a Democrat-led shutdown where Schmitt and other Republicans have rightly blasted the left for prioritizing political theater over keeping the people’s government running. While Democrats posture and grandstand, conservatives are focused on rule-of-law remedies and structural reforms — and the American people are paying the price for the left’s game of political chicken.
For years the left dismissed concerns about surveillance, leaks, and politicized prosecutions as conspiracy-mongering, even as evidence slowly emerged through Durham-style work and prosecutorial follow-ups. Now, as cases like the Sussmann and Comey matters move forward, the narrative has been flipped: what was once smeared as theory is proving to be fact, and the swamp is finally being pulled into the light.
Patriots and hardworking Americans should demand the same thing Senator Schmitt is demanding — full accountability, institutional reforms, and an end to the culture of impunity that has let powerful insiders weaponize the levers of government. This is a test of whether America will remain a nation of laws or descend into favoritism; Republicans must press forward, not relent, until justice is done and trust is restored.
