"...it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I'll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General."
The pending investigation was well known. It also should have been well known that Gaetz was hated by most Republicans. Then again, it's possible he knowingly let himself be nominated as a sacrificial lamb to shield other Trump nominees like Gabbard and Hegseth from too much scrutiny. I wonder what he'll get as a reward? Probably some kind of plum job that doesn't require Senate confirmation,
…the 118th. However, he had already won election to the 119th Congress. Maybe he’ll try to go back to Congress. I wouldn’t put it past him. He could claim you can’t resign from something you haven’t been sworn into yet.
After all, the report is still there and will be revived if he reappears. So it would be kind of pointless. And I don't doubt Trump will find a place for him that doesn't require Senate confirmation. Here's a list. Trump has probably told him, "Pick one."
He's still a congressman-elect. If this is how he wants to play it, he needs to let DeSantis know right away before they spend a bunch of money on a special election.
Speaking of early withdrawal, I read the police report on the Hegseth sexual assault allegation at the hotel in California. She had asked if he had a condom, he didn’t. Her husband was in bed back in her room. She was worried about getting pregnant. So he pulled out early and splooged on her stomach. Threw her a towel so she could clean herself up. She went back to her husband. No word if Jane Doe and her husband are still together.
It was apparently done without consulting Wiles, his chief of staff, who might have suggested he test the Senatorial waters before foisting this. The point is, you want to know you've got the votes first. Now Trump has a black eye.
We’re dealing with systemic corruption here. We need someone with balls of steel to take this on, not a woman who will knuckle under to go along to get along.
He says he will be active "from a new perch." . I think he is going to go into podcasting. Rumble was hinting at a new "creator" coming soon -- my guess is that Gaetz will have a podcast on Rumble. . He will likely expose corruption in Republicans as well as Democrats in congress. That's why the establishment had knives out for him. He's long tried to ban congress from stock trading.
