As bad as Gaetz may be, he's still infinitely better than the current POS AG, Garland.

That's a pretty low bar to clear.

Gaetz will be easier to confirm than Paxton. I love this move.

---

I find it extremely hard to believe you have more Senate votes to confirm a firebrand House Rep than a successful and proven state AG.

---

Gaetz was cleared by DOJ. Paxton is still under a grand jury investigation.

Can't all these congress person appointees keep their seats until confirmed? If they are from safe districts in red states the elections could happen pretty fast.

---

Trump wants recess appointments. If Gaetz takes a recess appointment as AG, he resigns his seat. Can't serve in both branches simultaneously.

---

I think recess appointments are not wise unless it's someone like Gaetz. We'll see.

Sen Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) souring big time on Trump tapping Gaetz as AG, says he is not a “serious” pick

“We need a serious attorney general. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to consider somebody that is serious. ….This one was not on my bingo card.”

The FBI and DOJ previously tried to frame Matt Gaetz with the help of a con artist who was trying to extort Gaetz’s family out of tens of millions of dollars. I can’t think of a more perfect choice to tear the most corrupt agency on earth down to the studs. Bravo, President… pic.twitter.com/e0iMCKYQLt

More than a bit surprised by this choice. Hungry lion in the cage...but, is it necessary to reform the DOJ?

Here's a picture of a DOJ Reformer.

I'm not for or against Gaetz at this point, but there are juniors in high school that went to Boys State and Girls State that are better than Garland.

Guess Murkowski is first up on Elon's "Primary" big board.

She was primaried in 2010, lost the primary to a Tea Party candidate, and then won the general election as a write-in candidate.

Good grief. That guy is insufferable. The silver lining is that Trump will likely turn over a few of the appointments....if history is any indication. Gaetz is a showboat and not up for that task. But then we're all full of opinions. Just surprising given the myriad of well qualified candidates. I will say that I don't doubt that Gaetz will do absolutely anything Trump tells him too, legal or not.

---

Qualification pales in comparison to loyalty. Trump has to be sure his appointments will do whatever he asks them to without pause or question. If they won't then it doesn't matter how "qualified" they are. He learned from his last term.

---

And that's good for Trump if you trust his motives, but potentially bad for the American people if there aren't any ethical guard rails. Its like when Trump fired Sessions for not doing everything he wanted. I believe Sessions ran into an ethical and likely legal dilemma and told him he could not pursue the course of action he wanted. You want loyalty but you should also want people to tell you what is out of bounds and why. The leader of a country who's staff only tell them yes and aren't concerned with the ethical, legal or moral repercussions of their actions should be feared by the people.

For the same reason we dislike Biden and the FBI for all the things they did that probably weren't ethical or even legal, we should expect ethics and integrity in this administration. You don't want G. Gordon Liddy types

I feel this is a huge troll and its hilarious. Also will not care if he gets confirmed. All these slapd***s in washington had a chance to play ball with DJT the first go round and all they tried to do was ruin his life and kill him.

They need to do the tasks that he sets out but they sure as **** need to let him know when they think something is a poor idea. The blind loyalty many of you believe should exist is scary.

now do the biden administration. across the board.

all of a sudden NOW YOU are getting the vapors about blind loyalty to the agenda?

He wasn't my first choice, but the way he's already making the libs on here cry, I may have to rethink it!

Something...something..."if you go after the big guy...you better not miss"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so he may have acted naughty and after years of investigating nothing substantive was found?

So Faucci is on a flight to Antarctica right about now, huh?
