Matt Gaetz under federal investigation for relationship with underaged girl

Gaetz may have agreed to go along with this even if he thought there was a good chance he wouldn’t be approved. He might think it looks better to resign because you were nominated for AG than it looks to resign because an incriminating report is about to be issued.

The Federalist guy is not a fan:

That’s kind of where I’m at with it, too, but that kind of begs a question or two:

  • Is the report so bad that Gaetz knew he couldn’t survive it politically?
  • Is it a principled move for Trump to nominate him (even believing it would be rejected) knowing what Gaetz did?

Gaetz wouldn’t give up his career for that…he wants something and CoJ has it.

I think it’s the hair gel.

That is the funniest thing I’ve read in a really long time.

But he resigned so he’s already given up his career at least for now.
And he has to know it’s entirely possible he won’t get confirmed.
I’ll go ahead and predict he will decline the nomination (or Trump will withdraw it) at some point and he can go off to do something else without the Ethics Committee report ever being released.

Yes I know.

If he gets in under recess appointment he will have months to operate within CoJ until he is evidently gets confirmed of not.

Y’all think Trump is playing 4d chess when in fact, he is just an idiot.

He just nominated a sex trafficker with an impending damaging report coming out about him.

Has nothing to do with his intelligence. Idiots win things all of the time.

That idiot beat you twice…even with all you’re media propaganda and your billions of dollars.

Someone will leak it.

Oh yeah. You gotta know someone (at a minimum) on that committee wants to leak it so bad.

Most of which had to do with lying about contacts with russia and operating as agents of foreign governments.

You would think that after all of this time, DEMs would have learned their lesson about writing Trump off as some buffoon who has no clue.

I don’t know what Trump is thinking with this appointment, but I don’t believe for one minute that he is an idiot who doesn’t know Gaetz is damaged goods.

I don’t think he’s clueless, but I don’t think he cares about some claim that Gaetz denies since he himself is accused of being a serial sexual harasser and denies/thinks he was treated unfairly in the Eugene Carroll case. Gaetz is a fighter and claims he did nothing wrong.

They won’t dare. They’re thralls to the rapey felon now.

Saying rapey felon must really do something for ya.

:joy:
