Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) called for all Department of Justice employees who worked on President-elect Donald Trump’s indictments to be fired.
In an appearance on NBC News’s Meet the Press, Schmitt went further than most in calling for “accountability” against those who prosecuted Trump, saying retribution should extend to all employees who helped prosecute Trump.
“You saw all these cases resurrected. They all fell apart under the weight of the law,” he said. “And so I do think there needs to be accountability. I think that getting it back to crime fighting is important, but there has to be accountability for these kinds of abuses.”
When pressed on what this would entail, Schmitt said that it should go much further than just removing special prosecutor Jack Smith.
“I think accountability means, first and foremost, the people involved with this should be fired immediately,” he said. “And anybody a part of this, this effort to keep President Trump off the ballot, and to throw him in jail for the rest of his life because they didn’t like his politics, and to continue to cast him as a ‘threat to democracy,’ was wrong, and so we’ll see where that goes.”
