Summary

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) called on Trump to fire Justice Department staff involved in prosecuting cases against him, framing it as necessary “accountability” for perceived abuses.

Schmitt also expressed support for Trump’s proposed attorney general nominee, Pam Bondi, emphasizing her qualifications.

Trump has pledged to use the Justice Department to prosecute political adversaries and pardon January 6 rioters if elected.

Critics, including Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), stressed the importance of the DOJ focusing on crime reduction rather than political retribution.

      I truly believe this is it. Not that we weren’t partially autocratic before, but now it’s mask off, fully torqued. Protestors are now all terrorists, especially climate protestors and Trump haters. We are so fucked.

          When the oligarchy and government combine, the people lose every time. Underestimating has lasting deadly consequences.
