The wringing of hands over the “picks” so far Trump has made for his cabinet. One thing you have to say, the choices so far have sure shaken up the status quo.
Andrea Mitchell thought she would set Senator Hagerty straight about candidate Gaetz and a couple of the other choices. What follows is an excellent refresher of what has just happened at the Justice department, and he dismantles her in an interview not to be missed.
It starts out like this:
Andrea Mitchell:
What is your reaction to Matt Gaetz as Attorney General? Right now, would you support him?
Bill Hagerty:
Listen, Andrea, it’s amazing to me that people are reacting the way they are to what you just showed, because there has been no one better at channeling the American public’s frustration with the weaponization of the Department of Justice than Matt Gaetz. You can understand the President’s frustration with the DOJ.
During his first campaign, they used a fake Clinton dossier to spy on him. Look at what happened in the first Trump administration—this whole fake Russiagate hoax. The DOJ litigated him for years over that.
n 2020, the DOJ went to big tech and had them censor Hunter Biden’s laptop to throw the election toward Joe Biden. Think about what just happened in 2024: the DOJ, with their colleagues around the country, brought five different cases to try President Biden’s top opponent, President Trump. I can understand his frustration in wanting to put an agent of change in place. I’m not surprised at all.
Andrea Mitchell:
I don’t want to litigate everything that happened with Donald Trump because there’s a lot of evidence to support many of the allegations and, in fact, the indictments—Mar-a-Lago, the sloppy intelligence handling.
Bill Hagerty:
I think the American public spoke louder than anybody. They gave him the strongest mandate we’ve seen in 36 years in reaction to all of this.
Andrea Mitchell:
But a Trump-appointed judge cut all of that off, and it wasn’t fully vetted. Let’s just say that was the legal system at work, no question.
Bill Hagerty:
It was not working. It was weaponized.
Here we go with the rest of it.
For more on Gaetz, here is a link to yesterday’s post. The real story is not always what is presented.
Gaetz was cleared even by the DOJ as to any crime. The Ethics investigation is a resurrected investigation for the second time in payoff for his dismembering of Kevin McCarthy as speaker.
Trump said he was going to be a disrupter. As to whether he can be confirmed? It is going to take some razzle dazzle.
Lawfare by our own.
John Bolton is in peak demand now by the networks keeping with the Trump attack. Just keep this in mind as you watch him opine.
The swamp is agitated. How many think we could do much worse than what we have now roaming around this totally corrupt Biden government? I can’t say most of these folks would have been my first choice, but their Trump’s choices.
