Excellent; Gaetz was a liability

Suspect Gaetz or Republicans got what they wanted by getting Gaetz out of the House Investigation. He was a liability as AG. Trump needs a better one.

    Too bad. He should have fought it out in spite of the time it would have taken. The Biden DOJ already went after him and failed to take him out by scurrilous sex charges. Gaetz was hated by many on both sides of the aisle for his straight forward demeanor, meaning he may not have been accepted in any case. I suspect something else afoot here, but this move will only make the wag tongues declare victory and sully him even more. Trump still needs someone to shake the DOJ tree until all the rotten fruit falls out.

      I suspect something else is afoot too, mc. In fact I suspect he was offered by Trump as a red herring, sort of.

      This happens in politics, especially where a candidate is to be voted in. The initial 'offering' is one that is NOT wanted to win.

      I don't know. As AG he would be filleted and demagogued as a villainous hit man. We can find someone harder to villainize. I don't want everything the AG does (e.g. firing half the FBI) to be viewed as Brownshirtting.

        Don't know who downvoted you here, but I bumped you back up. ANY Trump appointee will be vilified and, in fact, it's already begun and nobody has been sworn in yet, including Trump. Viewed as Brownshirting? Hah, I expect that will be the least of it and you can throw in name-your-phobe, bigot, racist and a host of other wag tongue smears, sneers, and lies. Trumps people have to ignore the noise and go for the DS/Marxist jugular, clean house, and tumble their house of poisonous cards while delivering copious slaps to the fake news MSMM. It's more than a culture war and the stakes are high for the USA.

          Yes, it will be entertaining. I hope Trump can get things done with all the lawsuits CA, NY, NJ and MA will file.

          Who knows who the little, silent hiding downvotes are? Cowards are everywhere.
