US Matt Gaetz Withdraws From Consideration as Attorney General

Matt Gaetz is withdrawing from consideration to be US attorney general in a major defeat for conservatives who wanted him to overhaul the Justice Department in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.

“It is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition,” Gaetz tweeted Thursday. “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, 42, a former congressman from Florida, came under intense scrutiny in response to a long-running House Ethics Committee investigation into allegations that he engaged in sexual misconduct, including having sex with a minor. The Justice Department also investigated Gaetz for alleged sex trafficking of a minor but informed his lawyers last year that the probe was closed without charges.

Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing.

The decision to withdraw Gaetz from consideration represents a stinging rebuke for Trump when it comes to one of his first key moves as he prepares to take office. Gaetz was seen as a top choice to carry out Trump’s hard-line agenda on immigration, policing and other hot-button social issues.

Trump has indicated that he’ll push for a radical transformation of the Justice Department, which has more than 115,000 employees. The department sits at the apex of the machinery that Trump will need to carry out his agenda from enforcing federal laws to litigating controversial matters. It also plays a key role in doling out billions of dollars in grant funding for immigration enforcement, border security and policing.

Matt Gaetz probably is a really sleazy guy, but how many congress critters do blow and fuck 17 year olds (prosts included)? At least it wasn’t a boy (this time). The media and the neocons were after Gaetz with a vengeance and it makes me wonder why.

17 is pretty unusual for an establishment politician. They usually go for 7.

I don’t get why the old fags on this site seem hell-bent on always believing that anyone with an accusation is absolutely 100% a sexpest child pedo.

Let’s use critical thinking for a moment.

Gaetz is hated by both the Republican and a Democratic party. He was subject to a DOJ investigation. Lawfair was used on several Republicans and conservatives during the Biden administration. If any of the accusations were true, it’s extremely likely he would have been prosecuted already. Consider George Santos.

I think what happened is that the Senate really just hates Gaetz and was throwing a fit about it enough that Trump didn’t want it to become a distraction in the beginning of his office.

Yes I'm sure the House Ethics Committee is really concerned with ethics there was no charges ever filed it's literally at this point just lame ass politicking and people accepting it.
Republicans why does the left have so much power also Republicans they accuse random nonsense of being XY and Z again everything the left says it should go in one year out the other Senate Republicans have no spine they should have nominated geez.

But don't worry I'm sure trump's AG swamp creature won't stab him in the back and start prosecuting him based on flimsy opposition research bill boy Jeff sessions

Maybe he didn't know she was 17 and stopped fucking her after learning so. No crime may have been committed, yet a very shameful retardation had taken place nonetheless. What kind of fool would put himself into a situation like that to begin with?

 

[Strange Wilderness]

Didn't he resign his House seat for this nomination? Now that he's withdrawing does he get his seat back or is the guy shit out of luck?

The majority of the United states the age of consent isn't even 18 it's between 17 to 16 there's only 8 states where it's actually legally 18 also if we arrested every older dude who screwed a 17 year old we'd have to arrest absolutely every single rock star from the 1960s to 1990s what do you think she was just 17 is about.

Also I don't believe any of these allegations are true whatsoever but Senate Democrats and Senate Republicans bat for the same team which is the deep state and they can't have someone loyal to trump in the position of AG gates is a *****

Fucking 17 year olds after 21 is a bad idea. Fucking 17 year olds after 40 is a profoundly retarded idea.

He’s still elected for the same seat next year. It was a chess move to cuck the House ethics investigation. It’s a hilarious political move.

You know it's a good thing when the age of consent experts come out to share their wisdom. Thank you, Onisions, very cool.

Unironically, if the attorney general ends up being some jew or zionist I'm dismissing the next four years of presidency.

He probably fucked that 17 yo who said she was 18. he's paid hooker amounts of money to the broad or something right? I can sit on the fence over it if she's 17 closer to 18 than 17 closer to 16. The question is where does Gaetz go because he resigned from congress. Looking at Gaetz's record he got mccarthy out but he's also a 2028 contender to vance. a possible 2028 Vance-Gaetz ticket? There is something wrong with Gaetz but i can't remember what it is.

I buy he's as guilty as Vic Mignogna, Clarence Thomas, and Brett Kavanaugh. Maybe he fucked a hooker, but I'm not giving the Deep State who conveniently seems to find sexual deviancy allegations against everyone they don't like, any benefit of the doubt. If you do, you're a fucking retard. Until they actually drop proof though, this is all smoke n mirrors swamp faggotry. This has been their modus operandum for nearly a decade. On the flip side, it ain't 4D Chess either. Trump just took a genuine L.

He can still reclaim his seat in Congress, even if he resigned. He won, so he can just go back to Congress. Or, DeSantis could appoint him to the Senate. Which would also be funny.

a christina blasey-ford will come out of the wood work for money and attention.

Oh, you mean Chuck Schumer's niece with dirty glasses and a wig? I can't wait to see her again in these confirmation hearings.
