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.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump and his team anticipated this situation of escalation . Zelensky is now signaling that the war needs to end as soon as possible. It wouldn’t shock me if Trump warned him against escalating further in the next two months, making it clear there would be consequences.

Meanwhile, Biden’s decision to escalate tensions with Russia at this stage is utterly insane . The best-case scenario is more deaths on both sides; the worst case is a catastrophic escalation spiraling out of control. There’s no upside . Allowing Ukraine to fire American-made missiles into Kursk , a region where the Battle of Kursk holds profound significance for Russians will only make matters worse. People overlook how much the Kursk region means historically and symbolically to Russia and how insulting it would be for Western missiles to be fired on it.

I want to know why liberals give Bill Clinton a pass, a sitting President, gets to seduce a 21 year old intern in the Oval Office for months for blow jobs and that is ok, but what Gaetz did is such a moral outrage? Help me understand.

Well, one is an adult and the other is a child, so there’s that.

Are there people that believe Gaetz is guilty of something?

Please explain why Merrick Garland investigated and didn't press charges. However there were charges and conviction for someone trying to extort him over the accusation. The timing of the accusation was when Matt was about to announce running for higher office in Florida. The deep state is against Matt. That makes him a perfect AG.
