Gowdy: You don't root out corruption at the DOJ by picking a corrupt person to lead it. Either the report comes out and is he not going to be the attorney general or the report doesn't come out and he is not going to be the attorney general

Does Gowdy actually believe this, or is he gaslighting for the GOP? HE did Benghazi, the epitome of NothingBurgers, and knows well the corruption behind that. And he says GOP won't cave? Ha!
I was friends with his little sister until I was 10. I had a little girl's crush on him and now I'm totally repulsed by him and wonder often, WTF I must have been thinking at the time!🤮
Remember when Hillary Clinton beat the snot out of this idiot and he tumbled out of Congress crying in his clown suit and ran away to FOX News? I do. #BenghaziHearings

I usually don't agree with Trey Gowdy. This time, as Hawkeye Pierce once said; "He's got the drop on me Tex. I can't do a thing." I agree with Trey Gowdy.
Benghazi Gowdy has something right for a change!
Will wonders never cease!
Gaetz is a Trump sacrifice so that Trump can slip other equally disgusting and inept candidates through the cabinet confirmation process. We know their names.
Probably nothing. He is just willing to go into the DOJ and do what Trump put him there for - investigate and prosecute his enemies - no questions asked, with no pushback.
Trey Gowdy? The same Trey Gowdy who invested Hillary a bunch of times for Benghazi? I can’t believe he said something I agree with. The world must be ending.
Maybe Mark Cuban should run for president. He’s on TV, famous, outspoken, rich. The difference is Mr Cuban is human and compassionate as well as educated. Cmon Mark, America needs you.
^ That is my only hope, that the next four years is just full of infighting and MAGA implodes on itself (and hopefully not too much damage over the next two years before the midterms)
The only senate seats that we had a shot at were Collins in Maine and Thom Tillis in North Carolina (who will likely be primaried as he was already censured by the NC Republican Party last year). That's not enough to flip.
There won’t be infighting. They all need to prove blind loyalty or else get a target on their backs. Gowdy isn’t in office anymore. He can be anti-Gaetz without risking getting primaried for not kissing the ring for a rejecting a sex trafficker.
I don’t think Gowdy appreciated Trump killing the immigration bill he worked really hard on. I don’t blame him, I’d be salty af. Gowdy is a true Republican, but the MAGA are taking it over. Wild to watch.
He is no longer in office so he doesn’t have to prove his blind loyalty anymore. I am sure if he were, he would be team Sex trafficker all the way, even though he was a prosecutor.
Prob more anti Gaetz. I don’t always mind opposing views if they come with the balls to stand by them and have integrity. Problem is those two are much lacking anymore. Nice to hear him speak up though. Brett’s show is more like Fox light though compared to most.
"Most of his picks are grand slam picks?" On what planet? Opposites Planet? Trey, you need to stop huffing the Trump glue, it's destroyed all your brain cells.
Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and Thom Tillis should issue a joint statement refusing to vote for Gaetz, Hegseth, Gabbard, or RFK Jr. Force Trump to do his job and nominate qualified candidates instead of sending in the clown car.
He implies that Gaetz is competent, but lacks character, when Gaetz has neither. Also, I like how the apparent standing on principle covers for the assertion that the DOJ is corrupt.
He probably arranged it in advance with Trump to play it out this way, so that he could resign without a ding on him, knowing he wasn't going to head the DOJ. If something happens, Trump can pardon him anyway.
It really is surreal listening to Republicans argue about which level of depravity is OK. Their party leader is civilly liable for rape, charged with 34 felonies, and tried to have his own VP hung by a mob. But, by all means, please let’s tell the truth about how nasty and reprehensible Gaetz is too
Let's NOT forget that Gaetz ONLY resigned from THIS congress. He just got reelected so if he doesn't get approved by the senate he'll be sworn into congress again in January! So hiding it doesn't hold water!
Wow, he is only worried about that pick (which everyone should be worried about!) and thinks there are lots of other good people that have been chosen????
I'm curious why the DOJ dropped their investigation? Ethics is a different animal all together. But it seems like if there was a "there" "there" DOJ would have pursued it.
Obviously what happens is the latter. The report doesn’t come out because the House stuffs it at Trump’s request but the Senate rejects the nomination. Good cop, bad cop, Gaetz skates and gets some other job in the administration.
The plan is to nominate three yahoos (Gaetz, Gabbard and Kennedy) and two will make it through to compensate for one being rejected. Who is the most dangerous? Gabbard?
These are not serious people. Another Trump clown car and clown cabinet with abrasive personalities who are unable to work together on a cohesive agenda for Americans. Chaos and corruption- part II.
Any time I see this waxy faced, alien looking freak, I immediately think BENGHAZI, BENGHAZI, BENGHAZI, and what an expensive and ridiculous waste of time that travesty was. Now he wants to "root out corruption"...that's laughable.
My thoughts. I was about to like the post and then re-thought it... like yeah, no. There havent been any good picks. I agree though, that MG should not be AG at ALL. And the report should come out. But show me a good pick TFG made.... there. is. not. one.
I’ve noticed that he’s been doing alot of talking head interviews for a slew of True crime shows. Maybe he’s been coming to his senses since leaving Congress? 🤷🏻♀️
He was a prosecutor in SC before congress & was in a couple of episodes of snapped. He was very good until congress got a hold of him. He was right to leave. I do believe he has a conscience.
The gaetz pick is an effort to show how much power trump has over the republican party.
He knows the gop doesn't want him in their caucus, and he chose him specifically to exercise his control
acckkk!
do not make me agree w gowdy. on anything!

Let's hope we can gain enough seats then, 21 republican senators are up for reelection, let's hope margins are close enough to swing.
I guess if Jeffery Epstein were still alive,Donald Trump would have appointed him to some sort of position as well🤔.
Lord Have Mercy,smh.🙈
But I confess, I don't have my glasses on.
Seriously, Trey Gowdy?!?!
The bar is so low that you only need a red crayon to be qualified now.
DD = Defenders of Democracy!
That’s the point!
Let's get to the Root of the Problem!
If only we had a Time Machine back to 2016!

What strange bedfellows we make when it's no longer left vs right, but instead reasonable vs batshit crazy
