The 'Bonkers' Plan to Set Up Matt Gaetz As Attorney General
Matt Vespa


Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has been nominated as our next attorney general. It’s a pick that sent shockwaves through the DC establishment. Republican senators were reportedly stunned, the Left stroked out, and the media was aghast. To be clear, the selection triggered all the right people. Gaetz is expected to resign from the House of Representatives in preparation for what could be the nastiest, most contentious cabinet confirmation fight ever.

Gaetz is a reservoir of controversy, but he’s loyal and has been one of Trump’s most vocal supporters on the Hill. But maybe there won’t be a fight, although the path to confirm Gaetz this way is viewed as “bonkers.” Still, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) offered it to the press straight when asked about Gaetz’s ability to be confirmed: he’d be pushed through via recess appointments (via National Review):

    I’ve been hearing through the grapevine of a crazy plan in which Donald Trump would exercise his authority under Article II, section 3 of the Constitution to adjourn both Houses of Congress so that he could recess-appoint his Cabinet officials. Trump’s stunning announcement that he intends to select Florida congressman Matt Gaetz as his Attorney General lends credence to this rumor, as it is extremely unlikely that the Senate would confirm Gaetz.

    […]

    The Constitution provides that “[n]either House [of Congress], during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days.” (Article I, Section 5, clause 4.) Article II, section 3 provides that “in Case of Disagreement between [the Houses], with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, [the president] may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper.”

    Step 1: The Speaker of the House (presumably Mike Johnson) seeks to adjourn the House for ten days and requests the Senate’s consent to the House’s adjournment.

    Step 2: The Senate refuses to provide its consent to the House’s adjournment.

    Step 3: Trump adjourns both the House and the Senate for ten days (or maybe two years). [But couldn’t Senate just agree to House’s adjournment? Maybe that’s why some folks were so interested in having Rick Scott as Senate majority leader.]

    Step 4: Trump recess-appoints his Cabinet officers.

Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump have a shared interest to end all ongoing DOJ investigations into themselves.

From a mafia Don perspective, it makes perfect sense.  Trump wants someone who'll watch out for Trump's interests.

The Dem lawfare since Hillary's 2016 loss has stripped DOJ of any appearance of non-partisanship.  They had three years to bring Trump before a jury of his peers for January 6th and Documents Case, but failed to do so.

Justice delayed is justice denied.  Dems have Joe Biden's choice of Merrick Garland to thank for that.  The castrated Keebler Elf wasn't up to the job of US Attorney General.

Trump will act as a mafia don, not as a politician.  He will make appointments to eliminate Congressional and Adminstrative State resistance to his second term.  What would Sonny Corleone do?

Trump is establishing and consolidating his power.  He will not leave his 2nd Term up to chance.

There is probably no more important appointment than the AG for domestic affairs. The current DOJ is corrupt to the core.

I just don't see Gaetz has having the long plan/knowledge and force of character to rebuild it.
