It gonna be a new dawn.  Let's see - who let the God-d**m Lawfare genie out of the bottle?  Ah yeah, that's right.  Democrat state attorney generals who campaigned on the promise to convict Donald Trump and put him in prison.  Which means those attorney generals were looking for anything to charge Trump with before they were elected to office.  As the old adage goes, "The average American commits a felony a day just by waking up in the morning due to the sheer number of law on the books in the US."  So finding "crimes" to charge Trump with wasn't difficult.  Lawfare should not be legal.

So I hope Matt Gaetz addresses that during his tenure, ie, state attorney generals literally planning to throw political enemies into prison if they are voted into office.  The shoe is on the other foot now. 

Now to address actual overt crimes committed by those who opened the bottle and let the Lawfare Genie out - which never should have happened.  As they say in Las Vegas when you spread your royal flush out on the table to beat an Ace-high full-house:  "Read 'em and weep!"  The Democrats and Progressive Left's worse nightmare is about to become a reality.

Zero percent chance he gets confirmed.  Zero.

 

He's under investigation for drug charges, sex with minors, and other stupid behavior.

 

Zero.

 

Edit:  This guy is such an idiot, he's already resigned without realizing it's not a "sure thing" that he's going to be the AG.  News flash:  he isn't.  So now he's out of two jobs in one day.

Zero.

...under investigation only by the House Ethics Committee, a probe that effectively ended  when he resigned from Congress.

  Yes and....he will still require Senate confirmation.

 

  I don't believe that will happen.  Rs may have a majority but they'd be fools to squander the election momentum on this tool.

You seem bothered by this…we can take it as a good sign. 
The more the left screams and hollers against someone, the further it confirms that they are the right person for the job.

It will get interesting if he doesn't pass muster in the senate. Then he'll be out of a job. This appointment is a quid quo pro to ensure Gaetz doesn't get investigated and thereby not implicating Trump.

  Yeah, except I'm not "the left".  Not even close.

 

  Gaetz is a stunningly poor choice and has been an exceptionally poor member of Congress, as in AOC poor.  

 

  Republican Senators are already on record stating their doubts.....

 

  "But multiple Republican senators have already signaled they have some heartburn over Gaetz, an outspoken bomb-thrower who was previously under a yearlong DOJ investigation stemming from accusations he had a sexual relationship with a minor. The DOJ ultimately did not press charges.

 

"He will never get confirmed," a Republican senator, granted anonymity to speak freely, told Fox News Digital. 

One Senate Republican source simply said, "Ain’t gonna happen," about the prospect of Gaetz's confirmation."

Your distrust of trumps judgment indicates you are indeed leftist and thus, your opinion can be discarded

He had dozens indicted the first time, this time he's gonna stack it to make sure they don't get investigated again.

The doj needs to prosecute all criminal activity in the government. Right left doesn’t matter. Prosecute any and all crimes that infringed on elections. Clean and clear the scum out!!!

Totally agree ,Trump is using loyalist to Constitutionally spy on the heavy population of non elected bureaucrats!

A new day in America !

Trump already lost his pick for senate majority leader. Good start.

Fascinating how the democrats just spent the last 4 years desperately trying to ignore/deny the existence of an abandoned laptop showing a poweful figure to team dem flying young woman across state lines for paid sex(sx trafficking) and all manner of drugs, firearms and corruption with Americas enemies offenses, plus dropping the N bomb every 3rd word, yet now a GOP'er has consensual sex between 2 adults and a few lines racked up which sends them into a tailspin and meltdown.

I have to question whether the left are sincere about anything at all?

It will be interesting to see how far Matt

goes into Barr and Durhams lack of 

investigation into Muellers  Doj team !

Everybody was under the impression 

they would investigate them!

Trump's team is brilliant. With Gaetz out of the House, they just got rid of a potential nutjob embarrassing Trump. Sure he is nominated for AG, but it is unlikely he  will  get the job.

 "Asked for his response to Trump’s Cabinet picks so far, McCarthy told Bloomberg Television in an interview, “I think the choices are very good, except one.”

 

“Look, Gaetz won’t get confirmed,” he continued. “Everybody knows that.”

 

and

 

"McCarthy, a loyal Trump ally while serving in the House, was asked why the former president would bother tapping Gaetz if he knew the Florida Republican couldn’t get confirmed.  You can talk to [the] president, but it’s a good deflection from others, but it also gives …” McCarthy responded, cutting himself off. “I’ll let it stand at that.”

Is it?  Were did you get that from?   You're assuming that he's 'guilty', right?

Yes, that's the general assumption.  Trump's nomination allowed him to resign from the House, thus preventing the report coming out.  He has no hope of being confirmed by the Senate, so hopefully he will just disappear into the criminal, trafficking underworld.
