Republican senators signaled Thursday that they plan to closely scrutinize allegations of wrongdoing dogging former congressman Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Justice Department, setting up a potential showdown between Trump and the GOP-controlled Senate.
Republican senators say Matt Gaetz has ‘steep’ climb to nomination
- Thread starter Hume
- Start date
“For me the message to the administration is simply that Matt Gaetz has a very long, steep hill to get across the finish line and it will require the spending of a lot of capital,” said Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-North Dakota). “That ethics report is clearly going to become a part of the record.”

If trump is going to start out right off the bat nominating weirdos and dirtbags like gaetz to fill his cabinet positions, I think it's becoming less likely the Senate will roll over and cooperate with him regarding the unlimited ability to make recess appointments he's demanding.
It is a test. Not just Gaetz, but RFK, Hogsbreath and others. Trump knows they are not qualified in any way. He is forcing the Republicans in the House and Senate to ignore their values and show they are under Trump's power. They know how bad his nominations are. Are they that afraid of him and his power to primary them? Politics is the business of keeping your seat. Will they do the right thing or will they take a knee, or 2 knees?
yup... He'll bait and switch, a bit of rope a dope... and we'll wind up with a conservative Libertarian with a constitutional streak so strong leftists will cry out in generational pain.

Sure thing. I'm sure that will happen.
It's just Gaetz. The others with the possible exception being Noem are solid picks.

Ah, so he is indeed the perfect choice. Let them reap what they sowed in their own lawfare scams, the difference being most of the Democrats are guilty as hell of a whole lot of crimes, which of course why they're terrified. Most o them should die in prison.
Not like this. He has picked a lot of them. In his first term, he picked some qualified and respected people. He had to fire them when they refused to pledge allegiance to the flag of Donald. They were trying to do their jobs. That was not what he selected them to do.

They're just loyalists, most w/ little or no relevant experience.
He has been consistent about that, at least. Loyalty above all else.

Pfffttthhhhhh.
You sound like a love struck teenage girl.
trump uses the Constitution for toilet paper, so why would he go to any lengths to nominate a supposedly strong constitutionalist to support it?
And BTW, the kind of kook you're describing, would probably be as far from a strong constitutionalist as trump.
You people are dreamers and bullshitters.
All you give a shit is getting your guy elected.
Once he's in office, you no longer give a shit.
I hope not; they went after Gaetz, and Trump needs somebody to go after the vermin hammer and tong. They committed their crimes against the entire country, not just Trump and the others. It would a gross dereliction of Trump's duties if he didn't.

Loyalists being in trump's case, being sycophants, yes men and ass kissers.
Nah. He relied on input from the RNC establishment, a big mistake. Many of those have left and have no influence any more.

So enforcing the law against MAGAmaggots when they break it, is now a crime itself?
