War Declared With Matt Gaetz Chosen as Attorney General – Resigns from Congress

Well that didn’t take long. The Trump honeymoon ended with a bang. With the announcement of Gaetz as AG the shivers went down the spine of those who engaged in Lawfare against the good people of America. For them, its 1984. Then, without any warning Matt abruptly resigns from congress.

Mike Johnson revealed that Gaetz stepped down from his post due to a state law that gives an “8-week period to select and fill a vacant seat.”

“If you start the clock now, if you do the math, we may be able to fill that seat as early as Jan. 3 when we take the new oath of office for the new Congress,” Johnson explained of Gaetz’s reasoning.

Gaetz raised hell in Washington, DC, in 2023 with a motion to vacate then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy, which prevailed and ousted the California Republican from presiding over the House of Representatives. Is the hell being raised against him now with the Ethics investigation part of the swamp trying to smoke him?

The House Ethics Committee’s years-long investigation into Matt Gaetz over allegations of sexual misconduct ended after the lawmaker resigned from Congress.

Gateway Pundit:

The investigation was reopened in 2023 as Gaetz ramped up challenges to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who was later ousted by Gaetz’s Motion to Vacate the chair. Later, when Gaetz threatened to bring a Motion to Vacate against McCarthy in October 2023, McCarthy’s RINO allies began threatening to expel Gaetz based on the Committee’s investigation.

Matt Gaetz has denied the allegations.

“This investigation exists to do what the voters of my district won’t – remove me from office,” said Gaetz in September.

The Gateway Pundit reported on the Ethics Committee’s revival of the junk allegations against Gaetz, even after the Biden DOJ exonerated Gaetz of criminal wrongdoing and dropped the charges in February 2023.

The Hill:

The probe was part of a larger investigation into Gaetz’s ally and former Florida tax collector Joel Greenberg, who pleaded guilty in 2021 to six federal crimes, including sex trafficking of a minor, identity theft and wire fraud. 

Greenberg was sentenced to 11 years in prison in December. He agreed to cooperate with the DOJ’s investigation as part of his plea agreement. 

But the investigation into Gaetz hit a roadblock over concerns about the credibility of two witnesses, one of whom was Greenberg. Career attorneys reportedly recommended to the DOJ in September that the department not charge Gaetz based on those witness credibility issues. 

Gaetz has denied the allegations that he had a relationship with an underage girl and said he regrets his association with Greenberg.  Read more

So that is where we are. There is no chance of a regular confirmation it would appear. The usual opposition lady Senators from Alaska and Maine have already stated “No.” and we are just getting started.

Trump is counting on a recess appointment. With Thune at the wheel as Speaker, it seems a long shot. McConnell, that nasty man that we thought we were rid of, rises in the name of Thune. McConnell deliberately kept the House in session by way of a technicality, intentionally, to deny Trump any recess appointments.

The result was that many of his picks took up over three years to get confirmed. Especially the ambassadors. One of the reasons that Trump was adamant that the next speaker not repeat this unpleasant history. Perhaps too now that we know his cabinet selections.

Maetz has limited friends. A lot of capital will be expended trying to get Maetz across the finish line.

It is clear. The Donald intends to play for keeps with the DOJ. No wonder so many are shaking in their boots.

Thune when asked about recess appointments. This was before the Gaetz appointment.

Reporter: You said that recess appointments are on the table. Will you move forward on that?

Thune: Obviously, we will look at and explore all options to make sure they get moved quickly. pic.twitter.com/2Fbumjfo5e

It is a curious thing this Matt Gaetz.

Bannon: By the way, @AWeissmann_, bro, you’re going to prison for so long. It’s gonna be so enjoyable. Everything you guys did, everything for years, starting back with Comey. And Weissman, I found out a lot about you in federal prison. You’re gonna have a tough ride there. pic.twitter.com/z7gpCXXQ4T

Weissmann responds. 1984 is here.

MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissmann said Wednesday on “Deadline” that President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as his attorney general marks the United States’ entry into “pure George Orwell 1984 land.”

Host Nicolle Wallace said, “On Monday, he made the announcement that he would turn to recess appointments. It’s obvious that this trio of Fox News anchors, Matt Gaetz, whose biggest war in Washington is with Kevin McCarthy, and Tulsi Gabbard, was what the recess appointment was all about.”
