Sen. Schmitt argues that the Trump administration should axe DOJ workers who investigated him
The Missouri Republican who previously served as his state’s attorney general , contended that DOJ staffers who worked on the cases against Trump were embarking on an effort to undercut the will of the voters.
The indictment for alleged hoarding of classified documents was thrown out by a Florida judge and the 2020 election subversion case was revived from a hiatus shortly before the Nov. 5 election. Following Trump’s victory, the 2020 case was put on pause again.
As president, Trump will theoretically be allowed to tell the DOJ to stand down on the charges against him, which is why his legal team’s strategy was widely seen as an effort to delay as much as possible. “WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences. Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials,” he posted on Truth Social back in September.
“And while many others are calling for meetings, I am not looking for retribution, grandstanding or to destroy people who treated me very unfairly, or even badly beyond comprehension,”
