The Best People with Nicolle Wallace · Exclusive: Jack Smith Will Not Be Intimidated · 2 Jul 2026 podcast

That whoever leads the Justice Department after this rejects that sort of thinking.

That doesn't mean that people who have committed crime should get a free pass.

And it's going to be difficult.

I actually think the investigation of these things isn't hard.

What's hard is getting people to understand it's been done in an objective way, explaining in a way that people can digest clearly.

that things are done following the facts and law and don't involve politics.

That's a challenge.

Doing the actual work, there's lots of people out there who've spent their careers like I have who are capable of doing that work.

Not just cases in the political realm, but particularly cases also affecting our national security.

I spend a lot of time worrying about that when I see some of the people who've been fired.

My view, Nicole, is our country's been a lot of things at a lot of different times.

And what generally happens is when something really bad happens, Watergate, for example, we respond and we get better as a result.

I'm not saying the Justice Department has been perfect every day, but the people I worked with, I saw people trying to move things in the right direction.

Anyone can put anything on you, but you have a choice about the attitude you take.

For me, and I think a lot of the people that I've worked with, our view is I want to behave now in a way that my kids will be proud.

I want to act in a way that when I'm retired, I look back on this time and say, I did things right.

I think a lot of people relate to that.

And I think it's understandable.
