Gaetz for AG —- GASP !!!!!
#BREAKING: Donald Trump announces Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) for attorney general
not Paxton
red House over yonder losing another one ….
Daugherty:
If the past 36 hours of Trump Cabinet appointments were not a declaration of total war on the Deep State, I don’t know what else would be. Attorney General Gaetz is most definitely the nuclear bomb in this scenario. Get ready for a battle though.

JUST IN: Senator Chuck Grassley, upon hearing the news Matt Gaetz would be Trump’s Attorney General, was “exasperated” in reaction and just stood there “stonefaced for 30 seconds” – @bresreports
LMAO.

? REPORT: “AUDIBLE GASP” among House Republicans when news spread that Trump selected Matt Gaetz for Attorney General – @emilybrooksnews
WOW…BOMBSHELL….IF CONFIRMED HE WILL BE A BULLDOG
There’s gonna be a LOT of nervous nellies out there
Seal the Border…lock them in !
Big one! He’ll watch Trumps back. Anyone remember Eric Holder calling himself Obama’s wingman? Think of that when they complain that Gaetz is a partisan. The AG has tools to go after corruption in states too. How about electoral corruption on human rights grounds? How about “Soros” prosecutors not upholding the law. How about “law fare” in D.C. and Georgia and New York?
+1 Bombshell & Bulldog definitely!
Yup. Likely Trump’s plan B if Scott didn’t get in.
Taking no chances on Paxton confirmation.
Or Paxton will find a different home. Plenty of room still.

Thune said 2 hours ago he’s ready to “quickly” approve Trump’s appointees.
Trump then announces Tulsi and Matt Gaetz shortly after.

My phone is blowing up with Senate Republican aides aghast at Trump’s nomination of Gaetz. Some quite confidently saying there’s no way their boss votes to confirm him. We’ll see.
As much as Thune being Senate leader and a not huge House advantage is a bit of a downer these next 4 years are NOT going to be about legislation. They are going to be about Executive Action. Downsizing the govt and not increasing budgets. Getting the Justice Dept and FBI under control.
100% AGREE CM
Good point
I agree too. The deep state touches everything, but is centred in the executive branch, and that is Trumps job number one!
#BREAKING: Senator Susan Collins announces she opposes Matt Gaetz for Trump’s Attorney General – @maxpcohen
Of course she does
They can afford to lose 3 Senator Votes …would be 50-50 and Vance breaks the tie
Maybe the plan is to Put up Gaetz and make a deal for Paxton if there is resistance
Next up Murkowski (and Romney if he had a say). Deep state RINO traitors IMO.
