Just heard Trump said Gaetz is his most important appointment. He is going to get in, if not by the Senate then by recess appointment. He has on his side the fact Garland declined to file charges, so really who cares what the Ethics Committee has to say. Not my first choice obviously, but it's Trumps and he is going to get his way. But he will be the AG.

Make no mistake, the FBI in Trump's administration will be disassembled. It really was a concoction of JD Edgar Hoover anyway to spy on people. Not much has changed. I have never understood why the FBI has ever existed when you have an AG office.

Mueller turned the FBI from a police agency into an intelligence/spy agency because Bush 43 bitched him out about not stopping 9/11, which wasn’t in the FBI’s job description at the time.

People don't realize the FBI did not grow out of organic need, it grew out of J Edgar Hoover's thirst for power over a 50 year helm over the organization. There is no need for it, actually there never was, and btw FDR was the first to weaponize it against his enemies, not much has changed. I am personally fine with regional federal agencies that protect civil rights or help root out domestic bad actors. But this notion you need a 40,000 person bureaucracy in Washington is just absurd. It's just an arm of politics at this point.
