Trump Picks Matt Gaetz as Attorney General

President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday that he will nominate Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida as U.S. attorney general. Gaetz has been the subject of a House Ethics Committee investigation into whether he engaged in sexual misconduct or illicit drug use. Asked by a HuffPost reporter whether Gaetz has the character to be attorney general, Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, replied, "Are you s--- me?"

Comments

Trump should've made him Ambassador to Epstein Island.

Ideal choice for Pres-elect Trump, from his view, to make for the position.

Rep Gaetz has a grudge against the DoJ, so his goals are likely quite well aligned with those of Pres-elect Trump.

Competence for the position is secondary, as other nominees have shown.

A loyalty to Pres-elect Trump looks to be the main criterion.

"The congressman has been embroiled in scandals for years. He is currently under investigation by the House Ethics Committee over whether he engaged in sexual misconduct with a minor or used illegal drugs. Gaetz has denied the allegations and the investigation would end if Gaetz is confirmed.

The Justice Department, which Gaetz would lead as AG, previously investigated whether he had engaged in sex trafficking. The DOJ did not charge him with any crimes."

"Gaetz, a five-term congressman from the Florida panhandle, is facing a House ethics probe and recently beat a federal criminal investigation into allegations that he paid underage girls for sex during drug-fueled parties and luxury vacations.

He has been among the most outspoken champions of Trump's claims that Democrats and law-enforcement officials unfairly targeted the once and future president with bogus criminal investigations, including the probes by Special Counsel Jack Smith."

"He may have "engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, accepted improper gifts, dispensed special privileges and favors to individuals with whom he had a personal relationship, and sought to obstruct government investigations of his conduct," the committee said last summer.

The Department of Justice and FBI investigated Gaetz for possible sex trafficking related to the same accusations. But the case ended last year without any charges being filed.

Gaetz has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, including ever having sex with a minor or paying for sex.

He called for the abolition of the FBI after the case against him ended."

C'mon, people... Matt is Trump's kind of guy!

NO more of the AG refusing to break the law for Trump and threatening to walk out with the rest of the DOJ Leadership... IF Trump replaced the then AG with a nobody in the Dept who WOULD sign the Letter to States that they could (illegally) replace the State Certified Electors from the Voters with whomever they pleased that would vote for Trump instead.

Gates being nominated is basically
confirmation that Trump will have the
doj investigate a number of his
political adversaries

including Biden
Harris the prosecutors involved in his
four criminal cases special counsel Jack
Smith and others he wants Vengeance
against

Gaetz is extremely Pro Trump and
unquestionably he will have his
Department go after all of those who
have opposed Trump in other news

there were also reports that Trump made another
joke about serving more than two terms

this time he was speaking before the
house Republican conference and said

"I suspect I won't be running again unless
you say he's so good we got to figure
something else out"

Trump has over the
the years made multiple references to
serving more than two terms and remember

there is one verse in the Bible that
says this about the Antichrist

"he will think to change times and laws"

"Trump throws Senate into chaos with Gaetz and Gabbard nominations

Trump's decision to nominate Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard is the ultimate dare

There is something deeper at play here:

the vote for Gabbard and Gaetz will also be the ultimate test of loyalty for Republicans. Neither have the credentials and in many ways could compromise and damage the very institutions that they will be charged with leading.

Hawley is correct that Trump won the popular vote, something no GOP presidential candidate has achieved since George W Bush won his re-election in 2004. That gives Trump significant leverage and the ability to wield his base to bend Republicans to his will lest they deviate from his desires.

Trump's nomination of Gaetz is essentially a dare to cross him and the MAGA faithful. But it might be one that puts them in political peril."

Welcome back and take care out there.

I agree. Some R-pols agree as well:

Swing-vote GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said she doesn't "think it's a serious nomination for the attorney general." Another, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), told reporters she was "shocked" by Gaetz's selection. And Trump ally Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) called it "a reckless pick."

"I think he has a zero percent shot of getting through the Senate," Miller added.

#152 | Posted by rcade at 2024-11-13 10:48 PM

My guess given the history here, this was all a bunch of BS because Gaetz was a pain in the side of Democrats.

Gaetz has always been a total nobody to Democrats. He only got attention by creating problems for his own side through attention-seeking acts of party disloyalty.

When Gaetz was making the selection of a new House speaker a national joke for an entire month, Democrats were happy to step back, pop some popcorn and enjoy the show.

#153 | Posted by rcade at 2024-11-13 10:53 PM

Twoothy,

When you do almost nothing but hurl invective you aren't owed the courtesy of anything.

I will throw you some table scraps - if the GOP abuses the process to fake a recess to install any appointments and, yeah, I'll be loud about it in opposition. But seriously, eff you on this. Did you not cheer congressional bypass for Biden to try and buy votes via transferring student loan debt to the taxpayers?

4 years ago Democrats and the left made a h HUGE push to abolish the filibuster and with a 50/50 tie in the Senate (well below the margin that GOP has coming in) and a comparably narrow House lead they pushed to add statehood, to Puerto Rico and DC. Pack SCOTUS with 4 new justices ALL chosen by Biden and confirmed with a VP tie-breaker. Nationalize voting laws and outlawing certain popular safe-guards at the state level like showing ID.

Did you oppose ANY of those proposed measures that were only openly opposed by Manchin and Sinema who are both no longer on the Senate?

Those are on a whole new playing field worse than what the GOP is currently threatening.

It's too late jeff to pretend you honestly answered the question when I gave you the answer.

Did you not cheer congressional bypass for Biden to try and buy votes via transferring student loan debt to the taxpayers?

This is a lie. Biden had the authority and at a MINIMUM had the authority to interpret the laws as he saw fit=that is his role as president.

The SC exceeded it's authority by taking the case-no injury means no standing means NO ROLE FOR THE COURTS. Let me repeat, MOHELA was not injured (They would MAKE money on loan forgiveness). NO INJURY NO STANDING. NO STANDING NO ROLE FOR THE COURT. The SC acted as a legislature-this is irrefutable. IF CONGRESS didnt agree with Biden, they could have passed a law to stop him.

This is simple, basic civics which you constantly fail to recognize.

pushed to add statehood, to Puerto Rico and DC.(I support this-the whole taxation without representation thing) Pack SCOTUS with 4 new justices ALL chosen by Biden (I am fine with that given the stolen justice seat and the out of control and CORRUPT SC and it makes logical sense given the size of the country and the number of Federal court districts) and confirmed with a VP tie-breaker. Nationalize voting laws (I support protecting elections and am open to reasonable compromise=including IDs, as long as the federal government ASSURES everyone has an ID at no cost-pubes won't go for that though) and outlawing certain popular safe-guards at the state level like showing ID.

#162 | Posted by Corky at 2024-11-13 11:14 PM

No congressional approval exists for Biden to buy votes buy transferring student loan debt to the taxpayers.

Presidents use executive orders all the time. When Trump does, no matter how far he stretches the power of the executive you'll either defend it or flail around trying to change the subject.

Biden cancelling $175 billion worth of loans held by five million student borrowers was a great first step. Colleges have become ridiculously overpriced. Student loan forgiveness should have been followed by action in Congress to lower the jacked-up tuition fees and other costs.

#159 | Posted by BellRinger

This is a lie pure and simple.

There are laws passed by Congress

the President INTERPRETS the laws so he can implement them.

If the president incorrectly interprets the law, there are 2 constitutional actions to address the incorrect interpretation

Congress can pass a law clarifying the law

A party injured by the president's action can sue for compensation for their injury.

Again, if the president takes an action that does not injure someone that is not against the law. no injury no role for the court.

Republican AGs used MOHELA as the claimant. MOHELA did not agree to be part of the lawsuit. And in fact MOHELA was going to MAKE MONEY on student loan forgiveness.

Thus the AGs did not show the most basic requirement for a lawsuit-standing.

They did not have standing to sue, because there was no injury. There was nothing for the courts to comment on.

When the courts comment on something that is NOT AN INJURY they are legislating-by definition. They are taking it upon themselves to say this is what the president is required to do or not do. That is Congress' role full stop.

I will say it is tiring, frustrating and annoying to have to repeat the same basic facts to people too dishonest to debate the facts

#166 | Posted by truthhurts at 2024-11-13 11:21 PM

Oh and the "major questions doctrine" is made up BS that runs counter to the constitution plain and simple.

the courts do not have a role in policing Congress' delegation authority unless someone is injured by said delegation.

#167 | Posted by truthhurts at 2024-11-13 11:24 PM

Standing, also known as locus standi, is the right of a party to bring a lawsuit in court. It's a condition that a party must meet before the court will consider the merits of their case.

To have standing, a party must:

Have a sufficient connection to the law or action being challenged

Have suffered or be threatened with harm from the law or action

Show that the harm is redressable, meaning a favorable court decision will likely make it better

MOHELA (the missiouri agency that was managing the student loan program) was the party in the student load forgiveness case.

MOHELA did not agree to be party to the lawsuit

MOHELA would have MADE money from the loan forgiveness.

#168 | Posted by truthhurts at 2024-11-13 11:28 PM

prospect.org

The documents are internal emails from the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority (MOHELA), a student loan servicer that conducts day-to-day operations on federal student loans. Its role in the student debt case is central: The state of Missouri, one of the plaintiffs, is claiming that MOHELA will lose revenue as a result of debt cancellation, and therefore would be unable to repay money into a Missouri state fund that funds in-state schools.

That claim has been called into question. In Supreme Court oral arguments, it was revealed that MOHELA hasn't made a contribution to that fund in 15 years; MOHELA has also said in its own financial documents that it doesn't plan to make any payments in the future. Furthermore, an analysis from the Roosevelt Institute and the Debt Collective shows that MOHELA stands to gain revenue if debt cancellation goes forward, because it received additional servicing rights and its liability on certain accounts would be extinguished.

SOOOOO, the conservative judges on the SC LIED about standing.

Biden cancelling $175 billion worth of loans ... "

Congress controls the purse strings. SCOTUS shot him down and he giggled when he gave a middle finger and ,over forward anyway.

This was analogous to Trump declaring a national emergency to bypass congress and secure a little less than $10 Billion in border wall funding. I screamed bloody murder over the usurpation of power. Biden does something incredibly similar (the difference being the courts didn't shoot Trump's move down, not that I recall) with tenfold the dollar amount and the left cheers with ecstasy over the violation of powers that continued AFTER SCOTUS shot this crap down.

Good.

Every swamp rat crying about Gaetz didn't lift a finger while DOJ was running illegal coup after illegal coup against our elected government from 2016-2020. They didn't say a word when DOJ illegally seized the phones of Rep. Scott Perry or Rep. Andy Ogles.

They were quiet as a church mouse when DOJ illegally spied on Trump. They were nowhere to be found when DOJ hatched and ran the entire fake kidnapping plot against Gretchen Whitmer. They did nothing when DOJ allowed violent threats against Supreme Court justices to continue.

So to everyone in Washington crying about Matt Gaetz: you are the reason he is necessary. Understand that it is happening because of your own fecklessness, or complicity.

You did nothing while the infection festered and the cancer spread at DOJ. You looked the other way as it nearly destroyed the country. And now you wonder why emergency medicine is necessary?

So as you cry at Capitol Grille over expensive wine bought for you by your corrupt K Street donors, just know that all of this is your fault, and that it's not going to stop until the problems you deliberately ignored are finally solved

Remember folks, don't you dare correctly call people like shrimptacoracist garbage. They'll get big mad.

I've never gotten "mad" at anything coming from you or anyone else here....

I consider the source and feel SAD for you....but not mad.

except when you cesspool dwellers treat women poorly....one in particular.

which is usually followed by a lecture on misogyny....

2 faced liars...

DOJ tells Matt Gaetz that he won't be charged in sex trafficking probe, his lawyers say

Prosecutors had spent months investigating allegations that Gaetz was part of a scheme that led to the sex trafficking of a 17-year-old girl.

WASHINGTON " The Justice Department is ending its sex trafficking investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., without charging him with any crimes, his attorneys and congressional office said.

"We have just spoken with the DOJ and have been informed that they have concluded their investigation into Congressman Gaetz and allegations related to sex trafficking and obstruction of justice and they have determined not to bring any charges against him," Gaetz attorneys Marc Mukasey and Isabelle Kirshner said in a statement.

Gaetz's office added, "The Department of Justice has confirmed to Congressman Gaetz's attorneys that their investigation has concluded and that he will not be charged with any crimes."
