The lefties are having conniptions over Gaetz. Maybe he's a better pick than we thought.  :pondering:

Former deputy director of the FBI Andrew McCabe fumes over Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz, says he will "tear things up" at the FBI. What an endorsement.  ... "He is singularly a disruptor. He is someone who’s been selected because of his interest and desire to go into the organization and tear things apart, likely get rid of people, stop doing a lot of the work that the Justice Department is currently doing." ...

Matt Gaetz ethics report threatens to derail Senate confirmation
By
Ramsey Touchberry
November 14, 2024 1:30 pm
.

Matt Gaetz’s resignation from the House of Representatives in anticipation of being confirmed as President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general may not stop the release of a looming ethics report.

Key Senate Republicans are warning that the controversial nomination, which sent shock waves through Washington, is unlikely to sail through their GOP-controlled chamber next year. At least not without first seeing a yet-to-be-published House Ethics Committee report of its investigation into Gaetz over allegations of sex trafficking and sex with a minor.

“I think there should not be any limitations on the [Senate] Judiciary Committee’s investigation, including whatever the House Ethics Committee generated,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), a member of the Senate’s judiciary panel charged with holding Gaetz’s confirmation hearing.

The firebrand Republican’s abrupt resignation from the House on Wednesday may have allowed him to quash the report’s imminent unveiling since Gaetz is no longer a member of Congress, though it was unclear whether House Ethics lawmakers could still vote to release it or provide it to the Senate.

Cornyn has really stepped into it.  He's blaming the backlash  all MAGA Twitter internet trolls.

How sad for them, and as far as a lot of work the justus department is doing? I bet very little of it has anything to do with JUSTICE.

Earlier this year Cornyn was literally booed of the stage at the Republican State Convention. Any reasonable candidate (Ken Paxton, Gregg Abbott, Sid Miller) will beat him like a drum in the 2026 primary.

With any cooperation at all, Matt Goetz's senate confirmation will come after the new senate is seated in 2027.

A backstop could be that Gaetz gets appointed to Rubio’s seat in that august body. Would DeSantis do it?

Man, what a great idea.

I think he will be confirmed. All the "whining" tells me he's great for cleaning house at DOJ.

Gaetz was investigated for 2 years with NO CHARGES.  The Biden DOJ then took more than 5 months to suddenly close the case...again with NO CHARGES.

Damned right we want a Congressional investigation!

This is part of the reason Gaetz is such a great pick for AG. He knows what it's like to be persecuted by the DOJ & FBI.

Why Matt Gaetz’s AG nomination could be ‘bad news’ for Google, other Big Tech monopolies
By Thomas Barrabi   
Published Nov. 14, 2024, 3:50 p.m. ET

Donald Trump’s nomination of Matt Gaetz to serve as US attorney general could spell trouble for Google and other Big Tech giants accused of maintaining monopolies.

Gaetz’s confirmation of the ex-GOP congressman as the nation’s top law enforcer is far from a sure thing. The president-elect’s nomination of Gaetz — who faced a House Ethics Committee probe on allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use — is said to have shocked many Republican lawmakers.

If confirmed, however, Gaetz would have major influence over the DOJ’s handling of pending antitrust cases against the likes of Google, led by CEO Sundar Pichai, and Apple, led by Tim Cook. ...

A Gaetz-led DOJ could still pursue aggressive behavioral remedies against Google that would upend its business model without demanding a forced breakup, according to Brendan Benedict, an antitrust litigator at Benedict Law Group. ...

Wingnut...

Has there been a Trump pick you haven't shit on?


Yes, and if you read my posts, you would know that.

Pete Hegseth for Defense...great choice
Marco Rubio...I'm OK with
John Ratcliffe.....great choice
Lee Zeldin.....good choice
Elise Stefani....good choice
JD Vance....good choice
Susie Wiles....good choice
Stephen Miller....good choice
Tom Homan.....good choice
Michael Waltz....great choice
Elon Musk......great choice
Vivek Ramaswamy....great choice, but I think him and Musk will be at odds with one another in time
Robert Kennedy Jr....I support this.  As Kennedy indicates, we have gone from 5% or so to 70%+ of children with chronic health issues.  Our food is no longer nutritional.  Health issues are dramatically higher than 50 years ago.  The FDA is a totally corrupt operation, as is NIH, and half a dozen other agencies.  If Kennedy can change those organizations, I support that effort 100%.

Kristi Noem....poor choice.  I think she could have done many things well, but head of Homeland, no  She supported legalizing the illegal invaders until not so long ago and changed her position.  She made some poor decisions in her own state in the last year or so.

Tulsi Gabbard....absolute no.  Same as with Noem, she could do many things well, I am sure, but not DNI.  She was a Democrat just a few months ago, she is liberal, or too liberal for me, and does not have the sophisticated knowledge required for running all intelligence in the USA.  She will in fact handicap Trump in a very short period of time.

I am NOT open minded about using Democrats for anything, and certainly not for a position as critical to the president as DNI and Homeland.  With his goals that he has indicated he wants to execute, I do not see either being fully supportive of his agenda.  Time will tell.

Matt Gaetz....Absolute no.  He has only that experience he obtained in Congress.  That makes him deficient in my eyes.  He has never managed anything.  NEVER!  And now you think he can direct 100,000+ organization.  Could not more strongly disagree.  And let's say his ethics issues are all false, and I suspect they are, that he was targeted as Trump was targeted.  That does not make him qualified to run an organization of over 100,000 folks. 

There is speculation that he will not get approved.  Maybe so.  I thought Ken Paxton the most qualified.  Now maybe he was not available, or even not interested, but he heads my list.

I want Trump to be the most successful POTUS of all time.  But his history of picking people to work for him in government is NOT a success.  His naive 1st term kept 1,400 Obama appointees more than one year into his first term.  Unacceptable.  If he does that again, he will have another nightmare on his hands.  Leaks daily, the media denigrating him every day versus giving any support his way.

I want results.  And I expect them quickly, and I hope they do not squander their time on Obamacare.  Healthcare is complicated.  Focus on quick wins in the first 100 days, while working on a real solution for immigration.

Looks like Gaetz is DOA for confirmation for now. Checks and balances I guess. Too bad a sack of garbage like Garland got the rubber stamp.

Well, ok.
But as mentioned earlier:
If the Senate won't confirm Mr. Gaetz (who has resigned from the House), Mr. Trump could then ask Florida Governor DeSantis to appoint him to the vacancy opened up by Marco Rubio's departure for Sec. of State.

If the Senate won't confirm Gaetz, he will then BECOME a Senator...!

Nope, his AG gig lasted only 4 years.

He was gunning for a lifelong appointment to SCOTUS and got shitcanned for that job.

Cornyn IS the problem.

Since arriving in DC as a new Senator a couple of decades ago, he has bowed to the DC crowd.

I had always fantasized about Cruz running against him in a primary so we can get rid of this super RINO.

The character assassination won't stop Gaetz from being AG. The DOJ investigated and later ended the investigation with no charges being filed. Why would the House do anything unless a group of members just wanted to damage him.

If 20 Pubs in the Senate could vote for Garland to be AG because "elections have consequences" they can vote for their own party's POTUS pick. If they don't want to they can find out how good America First voters memory is. I believe all but 1 of the House Pubs who voted to impeach Trump is now gone.

 GOP senators: Gaetz nomination to head Justice in serious trouble
by Alexander Bolton - 11/15/24 6:00 AM ET

Republican senators are warning that Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-Fla.) nomination to serve as President-elect Trump’s attorney general is in serious trouble, even though Republicans will control 53 seats next year.

Gaetz will get a chance to make his case for why he should lead the Justice Department, but Republican senators warn he faces an “uphill” path to confirmation.

In addition, Republican senators are supporting the call made Thursday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) for the House Ethics Committee to release the findings of its investigation of Gaetz for alleged sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.

Two moderate Republican senators, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), have already expressed strong reservations about Gaetz’s nomination to serve as attorney general.

Four Republicans would need to vote against Gaetz to sink his nomination, and GOP members warn he is likely to encounter resistance from other members of their conference.

Remember, there is a former federal agent in federal prison right now for trying to lie about Matt Gaetz’s personal life and extort his family for $25 million

It's like the Pubs never want to learn. Trump is loved by his supporters because he fights. He doesn't quit, he fights. Maybe if the Senate Pubs actually fought to support Trump and his nominees we would have 57 Pub Senators.

Gaetz is going to be the AG. His hearings will be must see TV and all the accusations which never led to any indictments will be shown for what they are. If after all that, Pub Senators won't vote for him he will be a recess appointment and those Senators will find out how much the American people hate the deep state.

Elections have consequences and Trump won!

   I respectfully disagree @verga Trey had hellary by the nuts and dropped the ball.  It's Trumps prerogative to appoint whoever he wants but half of nominees leave me scratching my head as does this one.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

Senator Ron Johnson is a total gangster.

Trey was a talking head for Fox election night.

I muted the TV when he blathered...

Wasn't impressed.

GOP senators: Gaetz nomination to head Justice in serious trouble
by Alexander Bolton - 11/15/24 6:00 AM ET

Republican senators are warning that Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-Fla.) nomination to serve as President-elect Trump’s attorney general is in serious trouble, even though Republicans will control 53 seats next year.

Republicans haven't even stepped into power yet, but they are already showing voters what a mistake it was to vote for them.  They simply cannot handle being the majority power.  Once again, we see why they call it 'the Stupid Party'.

With a 50-50 split, Democrats were able to get everything they wanted and more.  But when the GOP leads by 53-47 (plus the VP), they can't get squat done.  Idiots.

Trey Gowdy had Hitlerly dead to rights on her Server Scandal, and he mysteriously let her off the hook.

Something was amiss, in this whole sordid thing.   And I eventually hope the truth is told.

Well, I wasn't exactly thrilled with this pick because I believe that there are others who are more talented and experienced, but the fact that the liberal media is having a conniption fit it's becoming apparent that the leftist fear him.  happy77

I might be getting ahead on the skis, but both CNN and MSNBC might be facing some election interference charges in the new Trump admin. 
Thus the tears and fears.

That's where I'm at.  Trump's greatest talent is his ability to make liberals' heads explode.  And in just in that, I am really going to enjoy these next fur years.

As for Gaetz, we aren't looking for some top Harvard lawyer here.  We are looking for someone with the fight to clean out one of the most powerfully corrupt bureaucracies in the federal government.  Gaetz doean't waver.  He doesn't sell out.  And he doesn't quit.  If he is sworn in, he will still be working to oust corruption from the Justice Department on Trump's last day in office.

This is why he will be the next AG.

All the slander around Gaetz is no more than the same old tactics of the establishment loyalists. The DOJ and FBI fully investigated him and later dropped the investigation with no charges.
