So, about two days after documents with damaging Gaetz testimony are accessed (but not made public) in an apparent breach, the "best man" for the AG job, according to so many members here, calls it quits.

You have as much credibility as Sonny Hostin of the view.

He withdrew because he was becoming the topic in the woke media, and detracting from the Trump push to assemble a team to destroy the woke liberals that have been running amok for the past 4 years.

 

All Trump picks will suffer the same attacks, but Gaetz had too much baggage to survive, even if it wasn't true.

 

Hopefully Trump's team will get payback for him too.

 

It's going to be a great spectacle come January 21.

Yes even Crusty if he rips the woke departments open to let in the light and expose their dirty dealings.

I'm expecting loads of the usual suspects to resign ahead of Jan 20.

Goodness...he was such the perfect candidate! He gave new meaning to the term sycophancy...he was so far up 47's backside that he got the first bite of cheeseburger! And if he really is a kiddie diddler, as witnesses in his investigation allege, that behavior had to win him the respect of the guy known to enter teens' dressing rooms during beauty pageants.

 

And talk about qualified! King Solomon is jealous! Gaetz made that Matthew Whitaker guy from 45 1.0---the guy who schlepped deep water toilets for the well-hung man and who sold time shares in time travel machines---look like a mere posseur (although 47 has now nominated Whitaker, with those impressive credentials, as NATO Ambassador).

 

One wonders just how egregious the allegations---with witness testimony and photographs and Venmo receipts---must be against him. While he is unlikely to be named anything other than a public nuisance by FL Gov De Santis, I'm going to guess he ends up with a Prime Time show on Fox or Newsmax. Fox, in particular, has a way of hiring alleged rapists like Pete Hegseth (who paid a financial settlement to his accuser) and guys who engage in inappropriate sexual advances in the workplace like Bill O'Reilly, Ed Henry, Roger Ailes.

Looks like Gaetz has been replaced by former FL AG Pam Bondi, a woman with an interesting history.

 

Perhaps her main 'qualification' is that she once led chants of "Lock her up!" re Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Republican National Convention, indicating that she isn't hampered by that 'silly' "innocent until proven guilty" thing enshrined in the US Constitution.

Smart guy, but always had the whiff of sleaze about him. I thought Gaetz might be used as a sacrifical lamb to placate the Democrats and make the other nominees a little easier to confirm.

True. Very little in the way of qualifications.

 

Except  being a prosecutor. And an assistant state attorney. And the Attorney General of a rather large state.

 

Other than that, nothing.

Thankfully, Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration. Though Trump prefers low end, low quality, bottom of the barrel type candidates, he set the bar even lower this time. Gaetz was beyond unqualified. Two years practicing low end law. Yikes. See ya, Matt. You won't be missed.
