On the Arctic Frost Investigation and FBI's Targeting of Republicans:
"None of this stuff would be known this very day if we hadn't had whistleblowers in the FBI and Department of Justice tell us about it and give us the documents...
"I think it ought to remind us that it's a continuation of what happened in the Obama administration with the Lois Lerner attack through the IRS of investigating conservative nonprofits. It's something that shouldn't happen in our political system and it's an example of FBI political weaponization.
"It all started with Special Agent Thibault, Timothy Thibault, [who] violated every FBI protocol to set up for the Jack Smith electoral charges against President Trump. Until now, we thought that all it was about was going after President Trump, but it was going after 92 conservative groups, Republican groups and Republican individuals, and Charlie Kirk's organization, Turning Point was one of those."
On Political Weaponization and Retribution:
"I think we ought to make a case for both political parties to quit this attacking of each other in these very secretive ways, where you don't know about it until some whistleblower tells you about it. It's just very anti-American, it's anti-constitutional and it's a violation of free speech..."
