Should Gaetz become the new AG?

[msc545]

Republicans on the House Ethics Committee voted not to release the results of their investigation into president-elect Donald Trump's attorney general pick, Matt Gaetz, despite growing calls to make the findings public ahead of his confirmation hearing. This comes after two women testified before the committee and said that they were paid for "sexual favors" by the ex-congressman.

His nomination as Attorney General should be withdrawn.

Gaetz Should be the new Attorney General. Trump picked him and that is all that matters!

So he withdrew his nomination. Wise move on his part, unless he was responding to a threat. I sincerely hope that did NOT happen.

[goaded]

He fits right in with the president and the other picks like Pete Hegseth, Robert F. Kennedy and Linda McMahon.

No. Criminals should not be running the department of justice.

Even if the under-age claims are untrue, which they probably aren't, there's still the small matter of a sitting congressman engaging in drugs and sex parties and paying for sex.

[goaded]

Aren't untrue, I mean. If the report would only say nice things about him, why cover it up? A Democrat should read it out on the House floor.

[msc545]

Sadly, too late now, and you have to know he will never be prosecuted for any of it.

[goaded]

Information about his $10,000 in Venmo payments have come out.

"Matt Gaetz allegedly paid more than $10,000 to women who later became witnesses in sexual misconduct investigations by members of Congress and the Department of Justice, a report claims.

The now-former Republican congressman made 27 Venmo and PayPal payments with descriptive memos like “being awesome” and “being my friend”, some of which were allegedly used in transactions for sex, according to records obtained by ABC News.

The receipts, which were said to have been displayed during closed-door testimony in a House Ethics Committee probe, reflect transitions between July 2017 and January 2019, when Gaetz was a newly elected representative."

If nothing else, you would hope that he would have had at least enough judgment to effectively cover this stuff up, but he obviously didn't care enough to bother or was too stupid to realize it might become a problem - or too arrogant to care.

Good riddance.

He is a good choice. President Trump has learned the hard way the importance of an aggressive AG especially since he wants to root out corruption and partisanship in the government. Gaetz has experience on the House Judiciary Committee and has first hand experience with lawfare. He will do an excellent job as AG.

[DrPepper12]

If he wants to rule out corruption partisan ship why would he nominate Gaetz? He is both corrupt and partisan. Have you forgotten that he asked for a pardon after J6?

[msc545]

Trump could nominated a child molesting drug addict rabid hyena and you would have supported that be cause Trump did it.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[Agape93]

Nothing says "rule of law party" like having a child sex trafficker and rapist be your AG.

Nothing says "party of family values" like hiring a pedophile.

Nothing says "party of personal responsibility" quite like letting a sex offender get away with his crimes.

[ProbablyClueless]

The investigation was conducted and no wrong doing was found

[Agape93]

Yeah by his own colleagues who refuse to publish the findings and reports publicly. Even other members of congress have stated what he does, his victims have stated it and one of his friends was convicted of it and showed venmo payments for said services.

[ProbablyClueless]

I don't see what you're worried about. This is the exact kind of situation the Trumpers raised concerns about for the last 8 years, but you were happy to support it back then.

[Agape93]

The fuck are you talking about? Never once did I support shit like what he and they are doing

[ProbablyClueless]

Of course you did. You had no problem vocally and ravenously supporting politically motivated witch hunts into Trump, his supporters. You had no problem screaming to high heaven your support for Kamala and the refusal to investigate Biden's involvement in China and Ukraine. You had no problem refusing to investigate election integrity.

No, you might not have realized what you were supporting because it was inconvenient to think about. But you absolutely supported this crap.

[Agape93]

That's a load of bullshit.

1. I laughed at trumps misfortunes and repeatedly said he'd never see a day in prison.

2. His supporters are just fucking idiots 9/10. Idgaf what happens to em

3. I never supported her, I supported and voted for chase Oliver. .

4. It's not my job to investigate him and I don't give a shit what that child sniffing freak does or doesn't do.

5. Idgaf about election integrity one way or another, what we vote for doesn't matter because they'll do what they want anyways.

[ProbablyClueless]

Tell yourself whatever you need to to get through the day.

[Agape93]

Exactly, shut the fuck up unless you know what you're talking about.

[Agape93]

@Abbycado this is one of the reasons I don't blow my head off, to spite dicks like this. Ffs

[DrPepper12]

@ProbablyClueless wrong. The investigation was concluded without enough information to go to trial. That's very different from no wrongdoing was found. Just because prosecutors objectively & factually know if a crime doesn't mean that they can prove it in a court of law.

[Agape93]

Clueless, I told you to shut the fuck up already. That means stop replying

[DrPepper12]

Well 67% of you had it correct!!! Imagine throwing your life away for Donald Trump? I just don't get it!!!

[SeekerOfTruth007]

were the women paid for their testimony?

"i'm a whore. Trust me," - strange woman I've never met in my life.

[msc545]

I think that they sometimes get paid for their testimony, but in this case I bet they did it for free because he is such a loathful individual and most people hate his guts.

[coachTanthony]

He's the only one that can do it correctly. Thanks

[DrPepper12]

Apparently Gaetz disagrees with you considering he just withdrew...

[Anonymous]

Yes, he should. America need serious change, and he will make it happen.

[DrPepper12]

As of 30 minutes ago no he won't! 😂

[Anonymous]

Classic liberals. All of a sudden women are pulled out from the past revealing sexual misconduct

[goaded]

He's been under investigation for years.

[msc545]

He has been well known for years as a womanizer in a universally disliked character. Even if he didn't do these specific things, I don't much care. Fuck him. For a long time he was known as the most hated man in the Senate and for good reason.

[goaded]

That hasn't stopped the Republicans covering for him, though. They're the party of protecting sex traffickers and rapists.

[msc545]

@goaded yes they are. Now they have to be.

[Opinion Owner]

Hasn't the Democrats recently elected a peadophille?

[msc545]

Also - women make these kinds of accusations to obtain MONEY from the men they accuse.

[msc545]

Nope. Sorry.

[Anonymous]

Yes, just him being nominated for AG has the deep state freaking out.

[Opinion Owner]

Wouldn't surprise me if Gaetz was forced by the deep state to back out. Sexual alligations aside, he was one of the few congress members who was willing to stand up to the deep state so much so he supported freeing Assange.

[msc545]

He has been forced to back out, luckily.

[Opinion Owner]

Actually not not, the new pick is much much worse, Gaetz wasn't perfect, but he doesn't have ties to the deep state and dark money like Trump's new pick.

[msc545]

Evidence?

[Opinion Owner]

She is currently a partner at a lobbying firm and a chair for America First Policy Institute (a dark money group.)

[Massageman]

moot point, now.

[msc545]

Indeed, although when you are an asshole, people never forget it.

[Dargil]

As soon as possible.

[DrPepper12]

How does never work? Does never work for you? 🚫
