During the excellent interview Nicolle conducted with Jack Smith [View all]

I picked up on one thing that has not been widely debated in the media and here, on DU.
She asked him how we should go after all the people who enabled Trump, in particular, DOJ lawyers breaking or at least bending the laws and regulations to feed Trump's retribution campaign.

Smith was kinda lukewarm on this. His first reaction was that it does not matter that we do not like what these people are doing or did, prosecuting them may not be the answer or even easily feasible. We need to return to a rule of law and a DOJ that abides by standards of conduct, etc..

I took that as meaning that if he were ever nominated (hypothetically) to be the AG during a democratic administration, he would be a stickler to the rules to the point that these guys would skate free. I understand his point of view, it is just frustrating to me that we democrats are supposed to behave and stick to the rules while the GOP can run roughshod over everything and get away with it.
