Watching Democrats clutch their pearls as the Trump Justice Department finally turns its gaze back on the people who spent four years weaponizing federal power is a moment every patriotic American should savor, and Newsmax host Rob Schmitt made no effort to hide that delight on his program. For years the left cheered when the DOJ and FBI targeted President Trump and his allies, and now those same players are squirming under a spotlight they can no longer control.
The most consequential example of this new accountability came when former FBI director James Comey was federally charged late last month, a stunning development that underscores how far the pendulum has swung. Attorney General Pam Bondi has defended the department’s actions, telling skeptical lawmakers the Justice Department under this administration intends to follow the facts wherever they lead.
Predictably, the Democratic elite erupted, accusing the DOJ of politicization and crying foul in a way that reeked of projection. Their outrage rings hollow to anyone who remembers the leaked memos, selective prosecutions, and the years of media-driven legal crusades aimed at taking down a political rival.
Conservatives have been calling for this kind of reckoning for a long time, and Republican lawmakers aren’t shy about demanding consequences for those who abused their offices. Senator Eric Schmitt and other GOP leaders have publicly argued that restoring integrity to the Justice Department means holding accountable the career officials who helped turn law enforcement into a political weapon.
That push for reform is already reshaping institutions: FBI Director Kash Patel has severed longstanding partnerships with activist groups accused of political bias, signaling a clear break with the old guard’s approach to intelligence and internal training. The bureaucracy that once protected woke narratives is being dismantled, and the reaction from the left shows just how threatened they are by transparency.
Make no mistake, this is not petty revenge — it is overdue accountability. The American people watched taxpayer-funded agencies bend rules and rig narratives for political ends, and now elected leaders are using lawful tools to stop it and to restore trust in our institutions.
So let the pearl-clutchers clutch. Real patriots are cheering a Justice Department that finally looks like it answers to the rule of law, not to a partisan media machine. This work is necessary, it is patriotic, and it proves once again that when you put power back in the hands of the people, the kings of Washington get exposed for what they are.
