So just because these people are political appointees, if they're operating outside of the purview of the Constitution, if they are violating people's rights, they need to be held accountable. So I am not for a two-tiered justice system in this country. I believe that restoring our country, restoring trust in our justice system is going to mean that people will get in trouble, and that's exactly why I believe criminal prosecution would be necessary."
