- 💡 Senator Eric Schmitt believes that disclosures from figures like Tulsi Gabbard provide a "breadcrumb trail" leading to potential indictments.
- 🎯 He argues that if individuals can't be held accountable for using intelligence agencies to target political opponents, then no one in government can be held responsible.
- 🔑 Schmitt suggests that statutes of limitations may have expired on some actions, but not on conspiracy, which he sees as the primary angle for indictments against figures like Clapper, Comey, and Brennan.
The "Censorship Enterprise"
- 🚀 The Senator discusses his book, "The Last Line of Defense: How to Beat the Left in Court," which details how government agencies worked with social media companies to silence dissenting voices on topics like masks, vaccines, and election integrity.
- ⚠️ He highlights the Missouri versus Biden lawsuit as an example of exposing this "censorship enterprise" before the Twitter files or congressional investigations.
- 📌 The book serves as a playbook for citizens to stand up and fight back against government overreach, citing victories in cases against vaccine mandates, student loan forgiveness, and mask mandates.
Combating Government Overreach and NGO Influence
- 🧩 Schmitt criticizes the NGO nexus with the government, where grants are given to private entities to circumvent free speech limitations and facilitate actions like mass migration.
- 💰 He is proud of his role in clawing back $8 billion in a recisions package, targeting what he calls "ridiculous stuff" like DEI initiatives and foreign aid for questionable purposes.
- 🎯 The Senator emphasizes that the true "threat to democracy" is not President Trump, but the system that seeks to maintain the status quo and suppress disruption.
Fighting Through the Courts
- ⚖️ While acknowledging the existence of "radical judges," Schmitt offers an optimistic view of the legal system, noting that cases are often won as they progress through the courts.
- ✅ He points to successes in blocking universal injunctions and President Trump's victories in deportation and personnel cases as evidence that the law is on the side of those fighting back.
- 🧠 The core lesson from his experience as Missouri AG and now Senator is that courage to fight back is essential for success, and that authentic leadership fighting for the people is what is desired.
