First of all, I think Matt Gaetz is an excellent pick for Attorney General. He has proven to be one of the few in elected office who is fearless and ready to do the right thing for the sake of it in Washington, D.C. To many, that makes him a joke, because he is an uncompromising figure. This sex scandal talk is just an attempt to paint him with some controversy in having a relationship with an underaged girl; we are dealing with a Biden administration where gay people had sex and filmed it in government buildings. Outrage is a false alarm with that Beltway culture. First of all, I don’t believe the accusation; it is similar to the kind of high school politics that Trump has been a victim of, where witnesses lie entirely about the content in an attempt to drive a national narrative. People have seen enough now to know how to distinguish that kind of thing. People lost faith in politicians upholding some moral standards a long time ago; what they want now is people who will at least do the job they were elected for, and Matt Gaetz has certainly shown that he is. Because of Gaetz, Speaker McCarthy was removed, and Speaker Johnson is there now. But how would Matt Gaetz be any less severe than the radical Eric Holder and the more recent lunatic Merrick Garland? The humor is that there are some standards to apply that would make Matt Gaetz appear like a fringe candidate for the highest office of the Department of Justice. To my eyes, Matt Gaetz is one of the few who have committed to the rule of law, which is why many of those Beltway types have been trying to get rid of him from the start. No, I think Matt Gaetz is a great pick and shows a deep commitment to fixing the Department of Justice from its present state, a weaponized organization that is one of America’s greatest present domestic enemies. People have arrived at that conclusion based on what they have seen.
I think picking Matt Gaetz is a negotiating move. That doesn’t mean that Trump doesn’t want him, but he might want to use Gaetz to draw fire while some of his other picks benefit from less scrutiny. As Attorney General, Matt Gaetz is the most controversial of all Trump’s picks for his cabinet. So I could see trading Gaetz out later for a more conventional or less controversial pick, such as Mike Davis of The Article III Project. The message here is that a member of the WarRoom podcast will be the Attorney General because many wrongs must be corrected. The Department of Justice has been very disreputable, and it’s time for all that to change. Don’t forget what the Department of Justice under Biden did to their political enemies. Much of that wrath was thrown in the direction of Trump’s most trusted supporters, his former White House members, who formed the WarRoom during his last year in office to help with his re-election. Several of them were thrown in jail by Merrick Garland, and Trump himself was harassed ruthlessly. Incredibly, he survived, given the amount of power and unchecked menace that the Merrick Garland Department of Justice utilized even up to this last election. And what’s worse, so many Republicans sat by and allowed it all to happen, hoping that Trump and his team would be gone for good. We still have the utterly unconstitutional holding of the January 6th prisoners from 2021 to deal with. There is quite a mess to clean up; it will take a personality like Gaetz. And perhaps, the way Trump thinks, people will be so outraged by Gaetz that they’d be happy to get Mike Allen, who may not be as controversial on paper because fewer people know him, but he’s every bit as committed to the rule of law and the protection of that standard under the Constitution.
But there is no going back to normal for the Beltway culture, where they commit significant crimes and then sweep them under the rug to be protected by favors and nonsense. An Attorney General who keeps the investigations out of Washington D.C. and then will act to destroy any challengers to their easy money shake and bake system of international extortion and sinful enterprise. It’s not a matter of revenge for Trump, but what did anybody expect? Trump was let down by Jeff Sessions during his first term and then later by Bill Barr toward the end. Trump has had a lot of time to think things over, eight years, and he will make this Attorney General position count. It’s one of his most essential picks, and he won’t waste it on a typical Beltway politician. So even if it turned out not to be Matt Gaetz, there are plenty of names just as good that Trump will put in that job. The expectation is going to be complete reform because Trump and the people loyal most to him have suffered terribly under previous corrupt AGs. People voted for this kind of change; they want control of the Department of Justice, not what they have seen from that position over the last several decades of vast disappointment.
Yes, Matt Gaetz is a firebrand who runs a podcast by that same name. His political brand is all fire and brimstone, the way that the WarRoom audience expects it. And knowing the situation the way I do, Matt Gaetz would never trade away his ability to use that firebrand to do good in exchange for some sexual temptation. Many other people in Washington, D.C., would, but that isn’t the kind of person that Matt Gaetz is. Instead, people hate him because they know what they have done themselves and are guilty of. And they know they won’t survive if Matt Gaetz is the Attorney General. Few people will, and that’s the way things need to be. Actually, for those who have been counting, there are a lot of Democrats in Trump’s picks, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy, the kind of people that many people would squawk at previously as “liberals.” And that would include Trump himself. But Matt Gaetz is the red meat that makes putting up with all those liberals worth it and is part of the deal Trump has with his voters. Trump might have softened up the Republican party with a bunch of converted Democrats to make the tent bigger and much more challenging to beat, winning the black and Latino voters. But he is doing all that to get to this election cycle’s real meat and potatoes: controlling the Department of Justice and making the rule of law Great Again. On that front, we have a target rich environment where corruption has been ruling the day. And Trump has been a victim of it for more than eight years now. And now it’s his time to fix it for good, and he won’t waste that pick again knowing what he does now. And people can have their faces melt all they want. But, they brought all this on themselves. Having Matt Gaetz or another WarRoom personnel heading the Department of Justice is the point of winning the presidency, and people gave Trump a mandate that he will not throw away to preserve a system that is obviously out of control. And there is no way to reform them now, only to get rid of them and prosecute them ruthlessly, as they have shown themselves to be if left unchecked.
