Former Rep. Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration for U.S. Attorney General, he wrote in a social media post on X.
Gaetz said he had “excellent meetings” with senators on Wednesday, but it became “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,” Gaetz wrote.
“Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1. I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I’m certain he will Save America,” he said.
The firebrand’s nomination was being derailed by unfounded accusations made by the legacy media and women who all of a sudden had history with Gaetz.
I never thought it would actually get to the Senate confirmation process.
Haaaa! Knew it.
Pictures don’t lie.
Actually Greg you have to be a fool to think that. Pictures do lie. It’s very easy for anyone to modify a picture these days. Photo shop has been fully functional for 15 years or more. Try to contain your glee at the misinformation you are being fed? If it’s main stream media reporting it %99 altered story or complete lie. They are evil.
Not when Matt is the one passing them around. Get current please.
Get current screams t he town Cryer, ringing his bell. The guy who regurgetes a 5-6 year old smear against a guy who was cleared by the cops.
He just gets all kinds of warm fuzzy whenever Trump is handed any kind of setback at all.
Outstanding!!! I couldn’t believe Trump nominated that guy in the first place. I believe this is a great thing, since he resigned from the house he now has to get backfilled hopefully by a conservative. But I am glad he is gone as he has caused a lot of problems for republicans. Good riddance!
More to follow. Pop some corn.
Desantis will appoint him to the Senate. He will be kicking butt and taking names in the Senate for the next 40 years!
Nope
Tainted now. Ron doesn’t need him.
A good result. Mr. Gaetz was a poor choice – little actual legal experience, lousy political mechanics and serious questions about his character. Hopefully the President-elect can find someone good to clean up the Deep State at DOJ and the FBI.
Should have done it to start with. Now he has a black eye with more coming.
It all worked. Announce Matt as AG and watch the liberals and chamber of commerce crowds heads explode. Ya all done got trolled by Trump
Only if it was Trump intent to cause a self-inflicted wound and further promote his I’m a victim/martyr scenario.
JMARK, Gaetz is young and his experience maybe limited, he reminds one of RFK when his brother JFK nominated him for AG, except that Gaetz probably has more experience than RFK did.
I liked the idea of Gaetz heading DOJ, that place needs to be shook up and hard.
Pretty sure T’s next nomination will be a zealous reformer also.
Never tried a felony case. Only 7 civil and misdemeanor trials. Barely a lawyer.
You barely claimed to be a educator
Yeah but I was the best at what I did in the state.
Some advice Greg. Like artwork, you don’t want your comments to be so predictable.
I highly doubt that. You remind me of those who Brag about being the best at what they do. Did you win a competition of all those who perform the same job, got a gold trophy? Just what I thought, there are thousands of others that do what you do. All your good at is running your mouth.
Actually I did.
Prove it
They don’t give awards for eating paint chips and teaching a local to spell Murkowski.
Do you wanna see the plaque. You can look it up you.
There is no such plaque. How is Perryville these days? BTW I’ve been there.
I haven’t been to Perryville since 1998. Update your Google stalk. BTW, there is a plaque. Lol.
There is no plaque for janitors
Your analysis indicates you don’t know much of anything about the practice of law in general and in particular about trying cases. Sad to think that others might be persuaded by your conclusions.
He has 3 more on the ropes. A none teacher, a sex offender …again, and a Putin sympathizer. You can’t make this stuff up.
Daddy’s Little Princess was one of the very first to object to Gaetz. I believe she even takes issue with the other nominations. How exactly does this obstructionist // defiant approach help Alaska and Alaskans? Seems like her current posture is more of a detriment // unmitigated risk // liability … driven completely by her unhinged emotions and menstrual anger. At some point, she needs to grow up and get-on-board to repairing the damage done. Or, get out of the way!!!
Rob, it’s not menstrual anger–Lisa is old enough that she has gone through (or is still going through) menopause. And how dare a woman object to a misogynist! I’m sure you wanted a grown man who sleeps with 18 year old girls (not women) to lead the Department of Justice.
Because they are poor candidates with loads of baggage. Stop trying to be a king.
She’s being put in the spotlight. I pray that she is one of the “bureaucrats” that President Trump plans on firing when he gets into office since we have not been able to get rid of her in an honest and legal manner.
Democrats were scared sh*tless of this guy. He would’ve found a way to put Hillary Clinton in jail.
(where she belongs).
Hmmm, Republicans went after him. 30 of them.
Typo there. RINO, not Republicans.
Nope. Real Republicans. You know, old school. You forgot what it’s like.
Real Republican?
You would not know a real Republican if you met one.
Actually, I am the rare breed.
Yes you are. A “republican” that supports the globalist one world government agenda.
Very rare.
I’m not sure why you’re against a globalist type economy, you do realize that it encrease’s the standard of living. The only way we’re ever going to get past wars is to form a union based on what’s good for humans and the planet. People full of hate like you are going to have to be long gone before that can happen. Course it doesn’t necessarily mean that the rest of us can’t see the writing on the wall.
Did I say economy? No, I didn’t.
.
I said one world government. And, that government is already shaping up, across Europe, and spreading. It is a government where a country’s sovereignty is made subservient to the “elites.”
.
And a “union” based on what is good for humans and the planet. Isn’t that the UN? That is what the UN was supposed to be. But, look at what we got.
.
See, you are not actually a republican. You are a delusional globalist leftist. And, the elites will be more than happy to send you to the slums first, as soon as your support is no longer convenient.
Just a hopeful American. Try the old way. New way sucks.
They all got called. Stop your shenanigans or face a primary candidate funded by Musk. Yiu too can go read it on Gateway Pundit.
The firebrand’s nomination was being derailed by unfounded accusations made by the legacy media and women who all of a sudden had history with Gaetz. He has been under investigation for years for his alleged abuses, the report was scheduled to be released when he resigned quickly. What was in it that he didn’t want known?
Why did he quit to try to stop the report from coming out Is the real question.
It is a good question too.
But, unanswered questions are proof of nothing.
The powers know. They saw it.
