Maybe I'm slow, but I just realized why Gaetz goes to Justice Dept.

I would have said, "I get it; Gaetz will be appointed by recess appointment, but won't his appointment still have a pointless political cost?" I mean, he's innocent until proven guilty, but hardly exonerated, and it's all still kind of a yucky situation for an Attorney General to have been in.

Then I realized: the way to get rid of him is to appoint the next guy he picks. You want to get rid of Gaetz? Then you have to vote for (say for humorous example) Mark Levin as your next Attorney General.

BRILLIANT!

Mark Levin doesn’t believe 2020 was stolen.

The AG absolutely needs to be someone who will investigate and prosecute 2020.

4. There's also a good possibility that some of these are just clownish "appointments" aimed at getting attention and pissing a lot of D.C. insiders off. LOL.

Sen. Fetterman today laughed and said, "Trump right now is engaged in some God-level trolling to cause a China Syndrome meltdown and own the libs!"

He might not be wrong.

He doesn’t want to go there on the air. Who knows what he believes personally. There is a huge and powerful propaganda machint that is gaslighting the American people on the issue of the 2020 election.

1. Pres Trump can appoint as an interim with all the authority since the authority derives from his office.

I remember hearing something, if an interim appointment, there’s a time limit and the interim is confirmed by the process….doesnt need a hearing

2. Nominates Gaetz. Senate raised holy hell. He makes the deal…I’ll nominate someone else but you have to play ball. They agree. New person confirmed. Then Gaetz is given a position in DOJ that doesn’t need confirmation and he can all of them to the woodshed.

“”innocent until proven guilty””

??????????????????

Not in the Leftist world. All Republicans and President Trump supporters are guilty until they admit their guilt. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

He is young and Sotomayor is old. If she exits then appoint him to her spot and then put in Mark Levin as AG.

Staten Islaand goes 65 percent and higher for the R house seat.

Until Max Rose got elected in a flub.

He only lasted 2 years.

But to say ANYTHING is safe is not at truth.

No seat is perfectly safe during an election. Even a special election.

It was supposed to be released Friday. But now that’s up in the air due to his resignation. Although they said they will get the report during the confirmation hearing and ask him questions about it.

I saw Hannity tonight, both he and Lara Trump were making the case to end lawfare and to not do to the left what they did to Trump/us. He also had Jillian Michaels (fitness guru who I think is a liberal that voted for Trump) and she was pushing back at Hannity that we shouldn’t be making fun of these liberal meltdowns but be offering them help and to show them compassion. It was a twilight zone moment, meanwhile on MSNBC and CNN they were losing their minds with the Hegseth and Gaetz nominations.

Who says they are “clownish?” Maybe they are not meant to be clownish.

It could be a chess gambit and Matt probably knows he will not be confirmed UNLESS President Trump Dismisses Congress and makes a recess appointment.

Note the quotation marks. I did not say clownish

I said they were not clownish.

Wasting my time

You miss my point, it’s not that Trump would want to get rid of Gaetz, but that others would. But if they did, they’d have to permanently approve the next AG to do so

He already resigned his seat in Congress, so they do not need to approve him. But it was Trump’s pick, and it wasn’t to bring in Mark Levin who trashed Trump in his first term, at least at the beginning. He later changed his tune. I think he picked Matt to be a wrecking ball over at DoJ, for they attacked him too. This might be popcorn time for sure though. 🙂👍

They no doubt make innuendos & iffy allegations in the report, but there is no there there, so it will be like Kavanaugh’s smear job, or Thomas’ smear job. People are getting tired of these Democrat tactics except for the stupid ignorant sector of the Democrat supporters.
