I’m not sure I’m a fan of this move, unless he is just saying it to get the Senate rinos off his back.
How red is his seat? How likely is someone else on the republican side to win it?
Me thinks he is needed more where he is now, than on the outside.
I assume he’s just talking smack?
I just saw that too.
That’s MY Congress Critter! He is a lawyer, by trade..................
Will as in he will resign or he would resign if called on by the president?
Will should be changed to would in the headline.
Hope he is successful and becomes a hero for the cause.
Matt sees the hand writing on the wall with the GOPe. I hope DJT accepts his offer.
Florida is ground zero for Patriot Revolutionđ
Maybe he needs some coin.
That’s a terrible idea, we need him in Congress, the Senate Kangaroo Court will never let them present the evidence of fraud.
On the one hand it’s a really dumb move, but on the other hand the R/D split in government in absolutely meaningless in modern times. So, whatever.
No No No. I can’t believe Trump would want that. His written response to Congress is so good about it not being a legitimate trial, that he should send no one to represent him. Roberts won’t show and Trump’s side should not either.
If I were Trumpâs attorney, my opening statement would be this:
âI represent President Donald J. Trump. President Trump won the 2020 election in a landslide. He is the President of the United States. I must object that the Chief Justice is not presiding over this trial. According to Article I, Sec. 3, paragraph 6 the Chief Justice of the United States must preside. Why is the Chief Justice not present today?â
Iâd bait Leahy to try to shut down this argument. I would argue that the events on Jan. 6th were the result of a âmostly peacefulâ protest against the most blatant election fraud in U.S. history. I would further note that because of that rampant fraud, several Senators werenât elected legitimately because of vote flipping or rigged primaries to ensure the most radical candidate was nominiated to oppose a sitting senator. This is all political, so Iâd throw politcal bombs at the senate.
Also note, the problem with the argument that Trump isnât president, is that there are still cases in the courts and SCOTUS arguing that he is. That argument can be made in briefs just to CYA, but the Senate already voted on the issue and there arenât 67 Senators to convict. The attorney has a free pass to grandstand and deliver political attacks on the opposition. It shouldnât be wasted. Trumpâs lawyers must make the argument for the ages to remember.
Matt Gaetz has been one of Trump’s staunchest, most articulate defenders.
He might also be playing the long game here and positioning himself as one of the heirs to MAGA.
Maybe THIS would be the Biblical moment we’ve all been waiting for, woe those many Q readings ago?
Bring it ALL down.
Cue the movie clips.
BOOM!
FRAUD! SHOW IT!
âcenterpiece must be exposing the truth about the stolen election.â
The case isnât about âstolen electionâ, itâs about sedition. Justifying sedition is not an affirmative defense, especially to a kangaroo court.
â... and thus we prove the election was âwonâ thru fraud, justifying Trumpâs rhetoric.â
âThank you for admitting Trump incited insurrection. Guilty as charged.â
Gaetz is truly one of the “good guys” in congress. Most of the R’s are snakes.
If this happens it would get the attention of the 75 million people who voted for Trump.
It would also get the attention of Florida Voters when Gaetz primaries Micro Rubio in 2022.
Yes the GOP RATS will not like this to happen.
