Gaetz isnt going to get through his hearing if he makes it that far. The Ethics report is damning and he doesn't have an out. Its why he resigned effectively immediately to dodge it coming out. If he goes forward with the hearing then the Senate Judiciary Committee is going to get access to it and air out all his dirty laundry.
Rubio will easily clear confirmation and DeSantis will fill his spot with someone like Byron Donalds. That's the only reason I can think of that he skipped out on all the House Leadership races.
I think you're trying to apply analysis to things that aren't real and the fact that they know whats going on behind the scenes and we don't, whatever this leads up to is already known and scripted
air out all his dirty laundry
That's the point, it's how privately known information makes it into the public record... but this works both ways because no one is clean, if you're convinced of this the next question is who does he take down with him?
They're already telling us confirmation doesn't matter with recess appointments, popcorn ready?

As someone who works on The Hill I'm watching this stuff all first hand. The ethics investigation has been going on for 2 years I think give or take and that was public knowledge. They had announced the report was coming out Fridag and bam he resigns? Yeah its clear why he dipped.
Gaetz is an honest to god awful human. My interactions with him he leaves a bad taste in my mouth. This is the perfect way to get rid of him out of Congress quickly

watching this stuff
Yea it's there to be watched, doesn't mean its real
Gaetz is an honest to god awful human
He definitely seems like a complete douche so no argument on those grounds
But I'm also not above being entertained by him causing an absolute a scene, either as AG or otherwise, for a little while anyway... as long as the end state is collapsing the DOJ temple onto itself
It'll all be a footnote after the looming constitutional convention anyway

I don't think Trump would sign off on that, looks bad for him if the nomination blows up
Simplest explanation is that he's bait for a bigger trap, whatever they hit him with they'll get hit with 10x as hard after setting the precedent

There's no way it happens in a way that ends bad for Trump, either a hearing happens and backfires or it never happens at all because of recess appointments or something else planned
