Breaking: Gaetz withdraws AG nomination
2024-11-21
[CBS] And he resigned from this Congress. Can he get back in?

#7  Yup, DeSantis could appoint him to the Senate. Moreover, Getz could return to the House so that the Pubs would not lose a House seat. He resigned from the 118th Congress. He was re-elected to the new 119th Congress.

#6  Trump clearly has a short-term wrecking ball strategy for DOJ (immensely deserved but with massive media and lawsuit fallout for years, the entrenched parasites and partisans are lawyers after all, radical lawyers and many minorities, so the entire playbook of predictable screeds and accusations will flood the MSM) and Gaetz fit the role admirably, but had messy damages from before that were NOT crimes but lent themselves to hyperbolic attacks from the purported moral high-ground of MSM talking heads. The Senate visitations accompanying Vance got a reading of how much political capital in resistance McConnell and the RINO cohort were willing to invest. (It is interesting that a military parallel comes to mind, “Reconaissance by Fire”). Another, similar firebrand will be found to occupy the Gaetz role. After the breaching and ensuing firefight, that candidate may be out of time and energy, and likely time if a recess appointment. My guess is that there would be a far more traditional candidate to clean up the wreckage after the “crust battle” of the DOJ ideological resistance, and a "consolidation on the objective" AG will follow-on, a Paxton, Eastman or my favorite, Matt Whitaker. Early skirmishing my friends, as the “movement to contact” begins.

#5  Yes, DeSantis could appoint him to replace Rubio. That would be a MAGA middle finger to the Senate.

#4  This will just encourage the opposition - by which I mean Senate Republicans.
