President-elect TRUMP Picks MATT GAETZ for his ATTORNEY GENERAL - High Level PANIC Ensues.

Wednesday, November 13, 2024

President-elect Trump has assembled almost his entire cabinet within 8 days of being elected, in a Popular Vote Landslide.

The nomination that is generating the most "chatter" is that of Congressman MATT GAETZ (R-FL) for the position of U.S. Attorney General, overseeing the entire Department of Justice and Law Enforcement across the United States. FROM PRESIDENT-elect DONALD TRUMP today...

"It is my Great Honor to announce that Congressman Matt Gaetz, of Florida, is hereby nominated to be The Attorney General of the United States.

Matt is a deeply gifted and tenacious attorney, trained at the William & Mary College of Law, who has distinguished himself in Congress through his focus on achieving desperately needed reform at the Department of Justice.

Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System. Matt will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department.

On the House Judiciary Committee, which performs oversight of DOJ, Matt played a key role in defeating the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, and exposing alarming and systemic Government Corruption and Weaponization.

He is a Champion for the Constitution and the Rule of Law. Matt will root out the systemic corruption at DOJ, and return the Department to its true mission of fighting Crime, and upholding our Democracy and Constitution.

We must have Honesty, Integrity, and Transparency at DOJ. Under Matt’s leadership, all Americans will be proud of the Department of Justice once again!"

From FOX NEWS This Afternoon...

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., resigned from the House of Representatives on Wednesday, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced.

Gaetz gave House GOP leaders his resignation notice on the same day President-elect Donald Trump tapped him to be his attorney general, Johnson said.

"I think out of deference to us, he issued his resignation letter effective immediately," Johnson said. "That caught us by surprise a little bit. But I asked him what the reasoning was, and he said, well, you can't have too many absences."

The speaker pointed out that Florida state law gave the governor "about an eight-week period" to fill a House vacancy and that by doing so, "we may be able to fill that seat as early as Jan. 3."

MSNBC's legal people are blasting Gaetz today, which verifies what a fantastic job Donald J. Trump did in picking him for A.G.!

One Example from MSNBC: www.msnbc.com...

I'll add more reactions and information related to the GAETZ Attorney General nomination as they surface.

MAGA-PAF! 👍

Here's a LIBERAL outlet that must have a lot to lose if Matt Gaetz is confirmed as Attorney General.

The "GUARDIAN" was able to scour the internet and compile an impressive list of fellow criminals who don't want MATT GAETZ to be confirmed...including Republicans in high places.

Donald Trump’s decision to nominate the far-right Republican congressman Matt Gaetz as attorney general has sent shockwaves through Washington, including the president-elect’s own party.

Trump on Wednesday announced Gaetz as his pick to be the nation’s chief law enforcement officer in the justice department, a role that directs the government’s legal positions on critical issues, including abortion, civil rights, and first amendment cases.

Republicans were puzzled over this nomination, expressing this move was not on their “bingo card”.

“I don’t think it’s a serious nomination for the attorney general,” Republican senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, told NBC News. “We need to have a serious attorney general. And I’m looking forward to the opportunity to consider somebody that is serious. This one was not on my bingo card.”

Much more at: www.theguardian.com...

I'm sure there is a "back up" if Gaetz will not be confirmed by THUNE's Senate. But there's a (good) chance the confirmation hearing itself could surface a few "skeletons" in the closets of certain Senators.

WHAT WE COULD BE LOOKING AT...

In what can only reasonably be described as a MOAB targeted directly to Main Justice, President Trump has nominated Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz to be United States Attorney General.

Making the nomination strategy that much more interesting, Matt Gaetz resigned his position within congress, “effective immediately.”

In combination with the nomination of Senator Marco Rubio to the State Dept., this sets the stage for a Senate situation where the upper chamber may attempt to derail the Gaetz nomination, yet Florida Governor Ron DeSantis could then appoint him to be the replacement U.S. Senator from Florida; thus, returning an angry MOAB back into the silo that derailed him.

You couldn’t write this script if you tried.


To say the Lawfare leftists are having a meltdown would be an understatement.

I love how they use Republicans in the plural to make it seem like more than one person expressed that quote...but then go on to attribute it to a single senator.

I like it that Trump picked Tulsi as the Director of Intelligence. Probably because the Biden Administration put her on some list that gave her a hastle when she tried to fly somewhere. I can see that it was a wise pick, she will be scrutinizing every Democrats flights when they take them...Karma is great.

I think the Guardian attributed that quote to both Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-Maine). There's also something I read about the Guardian owners being under investigation. It didn't pique my interest enough to read it at the time, however.

"You couldn't write this script if you tried..."

That was an understatement, check this out from Wikipedia:

Murkowski is the daughter of former U.S. senator and governor of Alaska Frank Murkowski. Before her appointment to the Senate, she served in the Alaska House of Representatives and was elected majority leader. She was controversially appointed to the Senate by her father, who resigned his seat in December 2002 to become Alaska's governor. She completed her father's unexpired Senate term, which ended in January 2005, and became the first Alaskan-born member of Congress.

Just .... wow. She could be a bit more gracious!
😂😂 🤷🏻

Sounds like a lot of liberty was taken with that quote then. I seriously doubt any 2 people independently said the phrase "didn't have that on my bingo card" in response to his appointment. Unless they were both there at the same time and one agreed with the others quoted statement. It rings of hollow dishonest journalism.

I really like "The Conservative Treehouse" because it's main investigator (named: Sundance) spends many weeks every year inside government agencies, talking with top officials. He knows having THUNE as the Majority Leader will make it more difficult to have MAGA candidates approved.

Regarding Ms. Gabbard as DNI, Sundance opines...

In this position Tulsi Gabbard will be able to find out why she was put on the DHS “watch list” within the TSA.

Additionally, I note that all of the nominations and appointments have come from within the group of campaign surrogates and campaign officials. Perhaps that filter disqualifies anyone else.

President Trump Announces his nomination of former Democrat Representative, former DNC Co-Chair, and former Bernie Sanders campaign spox, Tulsi Gabbard, to be Director of National Intelligence.

I’m sorry folks, we are going to have to wait to understand the thinking behind this one. I have absolutely no idea. Mrs Gabbard has never led any organization of scale, nor held any position of intelligence review that I am aware of.

Other than being a campaign surrogate (via RFK Jr) and very close friend of Tucker Carlson, who I’m told is one of a small group organizing the cabinet appointments; together with Donald Trump Jr, Vivek Ramaswamy, Elon Musk and Robert F Kennedy Jr. (currently living in Mar-a-Lago); I’m not sure what would be the plan for Tulsi Gabbard (maybe with guidance from Ric Grenell?). Like everyone else, I’m puzzled.

Well, I am confident that Tulsi will do a way better job at her Director of Intelligence position than Kamala would have done as president.

He's picking people that have been burned by the Democratic party and are aware of what they actually represent.

This isn't a mystery.

He's picking people like himself this time.

Ones that understand.

I've always used REDDIT to learn about Consumer related things, like Vacations, Shirts, Cars, etc.. Didn't know they have a POLITICS section. What is that specific URL?

LOL...that guy at MSNBC is going to jump out the window when he learns ELON MUSK is thinking about buying the network!

The left is reactionary it's hilarious

but Uncle Fester Fetterman nailed it by saying Trump is trolling the liberals... hilariously so...

I hope President Trump has explained the "Six Ways from Sunday" threats they're going to be subjected to. The "deep state" finds it hard to get rid of evil people like PUTIN and NETANYAHU, but will have no hesitation to make Tulsi's family suffer, if she crosses a red line.

Pretty sure since once she decided to become a Republican and then was put on a terrorist watch list she's figured it out.

Good to know that she will be running the agency that put her on it soon...

Senator Fetterman really doesn't care who he makes happy, and who he makes mad. He just says what he thinks.
