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

And one of the reasons I wanted to be with you here today in advance of the Fourth of July, celebrating the birth of a country that we all love, is to celebrate the public servants who do this work, the people I spent decades

my career working shoulder to shoulder with.

I loved being a prosecutor, and part of it was I loved being around these sort of people.

And it angers me to see them victimized, to see them demonized for doing their jobs.

I think it's really important that we stand up for them and let them know that there are a lot of people out there

who back them and who are with them.

And it's not just the people who've been targeted and fired for no reason for doing their jobs.

It's also the people still in the Justice Department today.

There are a lot of good career prosecutors who right now are working under incredibly difficult circumstances, and they're still trying to do the right thing.

And these are not self-promoters.

These are not people who are going to go out and, you know, crow about their achievements.

We need to hold them up and celebrate them because they're part of what makes this country great.

I feel terrible about what has happened to them.

If there's one thing I have spent my time on since leaving my work as special counsel is doing what I can to help and support them.

The individual you're talking about, he was nursing his wife who was dying of cancer, and they fired him shortly after she died.

I went to the funeral.

That funeral was filled with heroes, public servants on both families.

And I just can't believe that if people knew the character of these people I worked with, that they could ever stand for the demonizing that's happened to them.

It's just beyond anything I can understand.

Yeah, I mean, you know, a lot of the agents and prosecutors I've worked with, and to be clear, not just in the special counsel's office, but throughout my career in a bunch of different positions I've had in the Justice Department, this is the culmination of what they wanted to do.
