| Trump Pick for Attorney General Will Be Challenged by Both Parties | | View on Our YouTube Channel |  Washington, DC. Nov. 18, 2024 - President elect Trump's pick for attorney general, former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., is seen as a surprisingly poor choice by members of both major political parties. He was under investigation for alleged sexual misconduct and possible illegal drug use, as well as other issues by the House Ethics Committee. Previously, he was investigated by the Justice department for those same issues, but no charges were filed. In a speech made last year, Gaetz threatened to get rid of those in the Justice department who investigated him as well as abolishing or at least taking on a number of other governmental agencies which he felt were detrimental to MAGA political beliefs. To remove the threat of the House Ethics Committee's report to his nomination to AG, Gaetz resigned from congress, thus believing that the investigation would be concluded.
According to reporting by NBC News, more than half of Senate Republicans, including some in senior leadership positions, privately say they don't see a path for former Rep. Gaetz and would not support him to lead the Department of Justice, according to multiple people who spoke to NBC News on condition of anonymity. Newsweek reported that David Lat, a former federal prosecutor and legal commentator, wrote in his Original Jurisdiction blog that senate Democrats should quiz former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz about the law in order to "torpedo" his chances of becoming the next attorney general. While it was reported that Matt Gaetz is a lawyer, it is unlikely he has any real federal law or Justice Department experience. Lat wrote, "Don't waste your time on speechifying, which will just cause Gaetz to speechify back- something he's actually capable of. Instead, ask him rapid-fire questions about substantive law, a la Senator John Kennedy questioning judicial nominees, and let Gaetz self-asphyxiate (which he might get off on, but it's your best shot at torpedoing his nomination)."
ABC news reported that one woman, who ABC News is not identifying, told the committee that a payment from Gaetz was for sex, while others have said they were paid to attend parties that Gaetz also attended and that featured drugs and sex, multiple sources told ABC News. Gaetz has long denied all of the allegations, including paying for sex, and previously dismissed them by claiming "someone is trying to recategorize my generosity to ex-girlfriends as something more untoward."
The House Ethics Committee will meet Wednesday concerning the report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz. According to Reuters, Republican U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin called on the House of Representatives to share the ethics report into alleged sexual misconduct involving a 17-year-old girl by Matt Gaetz.
Commentary
Psalm 94:20-21 states, "Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who frame injustice by statute? They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death."
and in Proverbs 29:2 "When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan." ESV
A leader should be above moral reproach, especially the leader of the most powerful nation on earth. Yet, it is not surprising to see an immoral leader nominating an immoral man to be in charge of law enforcement. Certainly, the above biblical warnings apply to one who would oversee our nation's justice. We can only hope that those many in the Republican party who are true conservatives and have not been corrupted by the MAGA movement will join with the Democrats and let moral judgement prevail in the decision to advise and not consent to this totally immoral person being the Attorney General.
