The Missouri senator also said he will “absolutely” support President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, Pam Bondi.

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.

Man it just makes me fucken sick every time I read some fascist shit like this
- You gon be sick AF for a while bruh. Me too.
  
  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.

The next four years are going to be bonkers.
- four years
  I wish I could be so optimistic...
- And it won't stop there. We'll be suffering the consequences for a long time, both of the fascism and of the dismantling of climate protections.
- We can take control of congress in 2.

Aren't these just a bunch of wrongful termination lawsuits waiting to be filed?
- "Good luck with that"
  -SCOTUS
  
  For appointments it's a non-starter for sure. For other "low level" positions I think it's worth it to make a stink. Lying to the public is one thing but lying in court is another. The more they appear in court the more they get caught in lies and get disbarred or worse.

Their resignation letters are probably already written. Senator Schmitt gets press for ignorance.

Senator Schitt looks like bigotry
