2) insure that the housecleaning at Justice will be done with a flamethrower and a chainsaw instead of with a scalpel,
3) provide a useful scapegoat if the public thinks the gutting has gone too far, and
4) make certain that even a hint of bureaucratic resistance is met with heads on spikes.

Quits before house ethics committee report on him with underaged girls gets released.

FBI dropped the case in 2023 due to lack of evidence.

While I am not a Gaetz fan, I also know the nonsense of FBI's claims without evidence leading to a HOR investigation smacks of Lawfare.

You are talking nonsense if you think the investigation simply disappears. The Ds will run wild with it.
A fair minded person will want to see what evidence exists before rendering any judgment.

You are simply throwing bombs without any proof. Baylor people should be better than that type of nonsense.

There are two issues here.

1. Ethics committee is different than FBI. I assume they have a lesser standard of proof. Regardless, this ethics committee is from the Republican House.

2. Evidence against Gaetz came from a co conspirator. FBI decided not to go to court with him as the primary collaborator. They didn't say he didn't do it only that witness lacked credibility. Ethics committee may have found something different.

HOR Ethics investigation started by Pelosi [yes, Pelosi……that is how old the nonsense is…….if it had any merit Gaetz would already have been hung out to dry]. HOR run by Gaetz nemesis Kevin McCarthy? The guy who Gaetz forced out of the Speakership and then massively funded Gaetz being Primary-ed?

Gates has issues with his personality.
But if either Pelosi or McCarthey had anything on Gaetz he would already be hung.
It was a convenient smear campaign. It lacked evidence.
The reality is that most politicians are jerks. Gaetz, McCartey. Pelosi all qualify on that item.
But not going to fall for the smear campaign of child trafficking without evidence.

And BTW….,,your point #2…….that "evidence" was deemed unreliable as the convicted needed a name to leverage for a lighter sentence and nothing so far has confirmed anything he offered. The Biden FBI couldn't find anything. Biden FBI…….think they were motivated to destroy Gaetz if they found even marginal evidence?

Your arguments [not facts, arguments] are nonsense. If they had anything Gaetz is indicted.

genius choice. Printers at DOJ are on overload getting resume's ready for jobs at Democrat law firms.

After what Garland did, total reset is in order. Let him do the dirty work, then let someone else come in & rebuild it properly.

It really does not

He just won a significant electoral victory

Is the can or can not make this Florida Republican become AG is of little importance

6 months from now no one will even care about it

A bizarre selection of such an unqualified individual brings Trumps judgment into immediate question.

He has to be a strategic throw away. He will give in on him, but send a message that I have some real crackpots to call on... Give me who I want.

He is doing what I feared, he is going to do nothing but go to war with the establishment on a retribution tour and nothing is going to get done but give midterm back to Dems on a platter. Fire people on SS#? Gaetz AG? Noem HSA? This is a bad joke at least last time he tried.

How? Please explain.

Trump campaigned on the idea that the DOJ had been politicized.
The American People agreed and elected him.
Why should he NOT pick an intelligent, well-spoken, fearless disruptor to go there and actually disrupt?

I didn't see it coming (i.e. didn't think of him as an option) but how can be be surprised at a pick like this? Trump has a track record of actually trying to accomplish his campaign promises. Could we reasonably expect him to select an establishmentarian to show up, change a few light bulbs, then tell us how important it is that we back off & let DOJ do its job of administering a dual standard of justice? (i.e. what all of his predecessors have done). After what Trump has been thru, wouldn't we expect him to seek transformative reform? How do we get transformative reform without breaking glass?

The appointment is divine poetic justice.
Gaetz is arguably a victim of a politicized DOJ.
There could be no better signal to send to Javier than to appoint Valjean as his boss.
It's like Nolan Ryan whizzing a 100mph fastball at your chin.
A lot of DOJ rats will grasp what this appointment portends and be out the door before Trump is inaugurated.

I erupted in laughter when I heard the news on the radio. it's a great big Foxtrot Uniform to the establishment, and boy do they have it coming.

Time wasted on 'retribution', is time ( and political chips ) that could be better spent on legislation that aids the American people.

It's a horrible / juvenile selection that ruins Trump's momentum.

He has only got 4 months to 2 years to get his agenda done.

This AG selection screws everything up.

Yeah, Gatez is a victim. Ask around Tallahassee about the guy.

Who called him a victim? No one. Stop the hyperbolic nonsense.

One man's "retribution" is another man's "reform."
A POTUS can accomplish a lot without a single piece of legislation. He can write Executive Orders which have substantial impact on agency activities. And, of course, he can hire/fire people.

It's a horrible / juvenile selection that ruins Trump's momentum.
It's delivering on a promise to the American people.

He has only got 4 months to 2 years to get his agenda done.
Exactly. He's signaled that he is going to move very swiftly.

This AG selection screws everything up.
For Democrats.
The AG selection which really screwed everything up was Jeff Sessions.

---

You are reacting to an instinct to protect an institution which has just shown itself to be a clear and present danger to your liberties and mine.

We do need a DOJ. Unfortunately, the one we have is running amok. It needs a LOT of reform. I don't care if they break tail lights, scratch paint, tear upholstery, etc...... I want a housecleaning so thorough that the survivors are more afraid of Republicans than they are Democrats.

Anything short of that is a systemic failure by the Trump admin.

New legislation would be nice but anything significant is going to be watered down and corrupted by RINOs and the spending is going to continue unabated.

DC needs an enema. Its what a majority of the people voted for and elections have consequences. Trump needs to have a trusted team that doesn't interfere with the vision.

Gaetz for AG is part of that.

An AG that can't get within 1,000 feet of a school

Don't you think the House Ethics Committee investigation will be leaked? McCarthy has a file on Gaetz. I'm sure senators will enjoy the read.

Gaetz confirmation hearing will weaken Trump

Hear me out

Gaetz resigns from congress and goes for broke as the AG

Senate refuses to confirm him but does confirm Rubio

DeSantis appoints Gaetz as the new senator from FLA. Gaetz wreaks havoc in the senate. The senate is going to have to decide which is easier to stomach.

Narco Rubio is one of the slimiest creatures in the swamp.

It's looking as if we'll get the worst of both worlds. Those who wanted wackadoodle appointments and political revenge tours will be happy. Those who wanted sane foreign policy and fiscal restraint, not so much. All the usual Trump chaos, little or none of the promised reform.

Suckers.

Now is probably not the best time for the left to continue the lawfare that just played a big part of their election loss. But, hey….if they want to keep touching the hot stove with they bare hands,who am I to stop them.

Gaetz should not be underestimated.

Some of you guys forgot that Trump isn't running for another term. He can do whatever he wants, and whether it hurts his image or not, it doesn't matter.

It's time for retribution. Everyone will be shocked at the intel and corruption that will be exposed by Trump's team.

When you look at the conglomerate of wackadoodles chosen by the Biden admin for key positions, it's hilarious to watch people flipping out over the current nominees.
