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 mean I am putting it out there that maybe… just maybe… this is a sick joke and once he flames out of the AG confirmation Trump nominates Kevin McCarthy and we watch Matt Gaetz combust on live TV 😂 it would truly be an amazing moment in history lol

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

Honestly because of how the confirmation hearing is set up its one way they ask he answers so I dont know how he could hit back with anything. His issue with Senate women is going to be the death blow

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
