Their vetting process is crap. Trump also wants to do away with FBI background checks for his nominees. Also extremely stupid. This increases the risk of confirming people with closets full of skeletons.
Gaetz withdraws from AG consideration
- Thread starter dbmhoosier
- Start date
You have no idea if it is or isn't. Make a prediction and pipe down. I think both will will be confirmed. Yourself?
I have no idea if they will be. But the idea that some deal has been cut is preposterous. A deal with who? There are 50 different Senate votes needed. And plenty of them aren't going to commit to supporting someone who hasn't even started going through the process
Gaetz nomination was dead on arrival, a week ago. That was obvious.
The optics of a Cannon pick would be disastrous.
Yoo is intriguing. But Trump will never go for that. He's been critical of him.
In what way? When she was trying to leave his room and Hegseth was allegedly blocking her from leaving?
Her optics would be bad for those who are pre-disposed to that POV. I’d love to see Durban ask her about her Special Counsel decision.
It would also look bad to people who aren't predisposed to view everything Republican as legitimate. It would appear, on its face, as a quid pro quo. Bad idea.
One of my best friends is super tight with Bailey. I suspect he’ll be a fed judge
Yet, both of us correctly predicted Gaetz wasn't getting confirmed, but you have no idea now🙄 I'll take that as your answer. You're free to believe what you want. I think Trump nominated Gaetz knowing he wasn't being confirmed. It gives cover to Senators who don't like some of his picks and is red meat for his MAGA base. Those Senators can claim they didn't rubber stamp his choices and Trump gets to claim he tried, but RINOs stopped him, blah blah blah, something drain the swamp, blah blah, cue the music and start the Trump dance.

I would be incredibly disappointed in Ron DeSantis if he nominates this scumbag to the Senate.
I agree. The chances of DeSantis nominating Gaetz are 0.
Gaetz resigned his seat from the 118th congress, but was just elected to the 119th congress. Gaetz is still a Representative elect.
I doubt it. That would cause the release of the Ethics Committee report. He’ll stay out.
He officially resigned from both
No, Matt Gaetz is not guaranteed to get his House seat back after withdrawing from AG consideration
Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress, leaving his House seat open. Here's why he can't automatically get it back after bowing out as Trump's attorney general pick.

Maybe the plot all along was to smoke out the 4 RINOs. Gaetz can still return to the 119th Congress. They also told us in October that they had a secret.
No way. Ty is never wrong.He officially resigned from both

No one knows what is going on here. 4D chess? Maybe. Something is going to come out on Gaetz that they didn't know about? Maybe. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Trump has a lot of great choices.
You mean like withdrawing less than an hour after this was posted?
Look, if we end up with Mike Roger's at FBI and Pam Bondi at AG or someone like them you can laugh at me all you want and I'll admit I was wrong. Until then let it play out.
Trump loves to play these types of games.
As I predicted, more women stepped forward. They always do, regarding scum like Gaetz.
I think Trump was willing to let go of Gaetz in the future, to gain some leverage, maybe a "I'll pull the Gaetz nomination if you vote for the others" plan, but even Trump realized there was no path forward. I mean, Gaetz may be even more scummy than Trump himself, and Trump is an expert on scumminess and stocking the swamp.

Somebody give me a strategy position
My view of the optics is that she allowed ideology to trump her judgment. .
Given the timing, I think quid pro quo is a reach, but I won’t deny that would be the default position for many.
It reads like a woman who had a fling with a TV personality and then got busted by her husband, so she decided to play the victim.
All I got out of it was Hegseth is a horndog who uses poor judgement.
lmao As if.
Your only saving grace is you're friends with the leader of the Dream Team. He's allowed to have ignorant friends.
The discussion about the possible use of a date rape drug gives out some Bill Cosby vibes.
Is Harvey Weinstein out on parole yet? He may be on some Trump short lists.

When you guys get down from your moral high ground, look up Juanita Broaddrick sometime.
Sounds like she got more than just the tip
Eh, you pay for it either way. Matt was just skipping the whole 'take 'em to dinner and get 'em drunk' phase.
Cutting out the bureaucracy!
