Sean Casten read the inquiries into the record. And he's still pressuring to have the report released.

Aren't you embarrassed that you voted for Trump after he nominated a buffoon? Or is Trump not responsible because he is never responsible?

Seriously! You voted for trump but Gaetz is too much for you?

But wait there’s more… Mullin is the guy from Oklahoma who served in the House with Gaetz and said he was always bragging about the drugs he took and the women he f***ed to other House members.

Isn't Mullin the senator that tried to literally get in a fight with the union guy when he was at the senate hearing but Bernie told him to sit TF back down.

Gotta say - per this Bulwark reporting, Trump told Gaetz he didn't have the votes. And I didn't think Trump actually understood government well enough to know what that means - or that he understood his own limitations enough to know what that means.

I guess he did learn something other than how to steal classified documents last time he was in the WH.

Eight days after making the snap decision to nominate Matt Gaetz to be the nation’s next attorney general, Trump phoned him Thursday morning to tell him he wouldn’t get confirmed, according to a source briefed on the conversation. The president-elect explained that Republican senators were too troubled by the sex scandals and investigations surrounding Gaetz and that the constant and salacious distractions had doomed him.

“You don’t have the votes,” Trump said, according to the source. “These senators aren’t moving.”

Another source familiar with the conversation between Trump and Gaetz said Gaetz had acknowledged he had between four and six Republican votes against him. He could only lose three.

“The writing was on the wall. Gaetz fell on his sword,” the source said, calling the decision a mutually understood acceptance of political reality.

Gaetz’s selection was pushed heavily by Boris Ephsteyn, Trump’s legal adviser who has helped stock his Justice Department at the top levels." - NYT Maggie Haberman


This is the Trump advisor who put him up for the post. Hard to deny Russian influence when it's literally working side-by-side the incoming president.

Um... you realize this guy is an American, right? Good grief.

Yes, he’s the one.

So when is he going to be prosecuted for his horrible crimes of raping underage girls? Or was this just a prosecution by the media to force him out of the nomination? We know what this was.

Nobody cared about the supposed crime. It was a media campaign to get him out of confirmation. I guess next task is Tulsi and Robert

Gaetz gave up a shoo-in House seat and now ends up with nothing.

I think this was the plan all along to get him out of Congress for good. Which is actually kind of brilliant.

Actually this is very weird…I’m assuming he was forced to step down by team Trump once the extent of his crimes were revealed.

I agree with this. He didn’t make any sense for AG, and I wonder what was going on behind the scenes. I had a feeling something like this would happen but you never can tell.

Basically, a ploy to get him out of the way. Now the congressional records can be released and he will disappear.

+1 It was his punishment for the McCarthy BS. Everyone wanted him out. This was never going to come to fruition.

+2

This sort of pathetic thinking is what irritates me about MAGA. There are plenty of Trump loyalists and sycophants who don’t have sexual assault and rape allegations with minors, you guys won the election. Just appoint a sycophant that doesn’t have rape allegations, is it too hard???

Why are you doubling down on suggesting that this “dude” should be in the administration, even if the position is non confirmed, still have some standards. Jeez… so much talk about making America great and you guys are frothing at the mouth to appoint the worst of the lot. You all have the power now, do something useful with it.

Trump has over sixty felony counts and you wanted him to be afraid of Gaetz. With the way the Democrats run the justice system, getting charged has all to do with political vengeance and not the actual truth. Trump received all that for paying a prostitute hush money from a campaign while the current Kamala campaign is still wondering where all the money went and 1 billion dollars disappeared. She was better off giving that to the voters than paying a campaign rife with laundering and fraud.

We saw this before with Brett Kavanaugh. The Dem media lies and says everyone they don’t like are rapists when they are the party of rapists. It’s like the couch thing with Vance. A creation of fiction from their own imagination. It didn’t stick like they wanted it too to malign and smear him

Thanks for this update, PP. It's good to know there are a few decent GOP senators for whom Gaetz was a bridge too far.

They are gluttons for wall street money and corporate lobbyist money and Gaetz wanted to stop that. He’s a threat.

I think it will be Heskseth next. Lightweight with a sexual assault case that's getting a ton of media attention. Then Gabbard. No one in IC trusts her. She can't possibly be confirmed, and there are at least four Republican senators who take their job seriously and won't compromise national security.

RFK jr has the votes. Quite a few Democrats will vote for him. But again, there may be sexual assault issues here too. And that may tank it.

The Trumpers might think about doing background checks at some point.

Yeah, a house member up for AG with an active investigation in play for *having sex with minors* is nbd. Gotta love MAGA.

That was ONE poster. Stop lumping everyone together - you certainly don't like it when that's done to Democrats.

Said probably will, didn't suggest he should so, calm TF down. This sort of pathetic thinking is what irritates me about lefties, your hyperbolic ranting at everything. You're right, you have zero power and yet you all incessantly whine, it's unbecoming but completely expected by you rubes now.

So, now we are not the coastal elites but the rubes??? MAGA… please make up your damn mind.

DP. It was/is definitely rube behavior to continue throwing away your money on Kamala Harris's campaign - even after the election is over. But, ydy.
