That cocky, misplaced look of smug success on Senator Eric Schmitt’s face—moments before everything came crashing down around him because he’s so carelessly incompetent.

The internet is erupting in mockery after Eric Schmitt’s spectacular Jack Smith faceplant. Now people are openly speculating: Did his team plant the glowing 2028 story AND coordinate with MAGA influencers in advance, expecting a victory lap that blew up in their faces?

Eric Schmitt Gets Mercilessly Mocked Over ‘Planted’ Story After Jack Smith Faceplant
A glowing 2028 scoop dropped just before Schmitt’s disastrous “gotcha,” while right-wing influencers appeared ready to celebrate. After it blew up, the internet noticed.

WARNING: Do NOT try this at home. Sen. Schmitt brought a poster board, a perjury trap & zero fact-checkers. Result? Atlanta Hawks ≠ Iowa Hawkeyes. Jack Smith was watching Caitlin Clark in Maryland. Lesson: Research first. Gloat second. Or you ARE the cautionary tale.

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

Jack Smith made it crystal clear that his investigation was sound and lawful, that the president had committed crimes and that the GOP attacks on him were the actual weaponization of our justice system. He showed courage and moral clarity and continues to be one of the heroes of this moment.

Multibillion-dollar schemes like A7 are much easier when the United States simply gives up on countering Russian sanctions evasion. The Kremlin agent gloating in this story could show a bit more humility. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/b...
During the Biden administration, the Treasury Department made cracking down on sanctions evasion a centerpiece of its effort to punish Russia. The department imposed thousands of additional sanctions, targeting companies and networks designed to move money around financial restrictions.

The pressure has largely disappeared. Since President Trump returned to office, the administration has removed more restrictions than it has added, according to a Times analysis of Treasury data.

That has made it harder for banks to screen for illicit activity, in part because new actors and organizations can spring up without fresh information. A7 shell companies, for example, have facilitated payments to companies that banked at major American and European banks, The Times found.
