Hard to believe Trump won't fight to appoint a man accused of sex trafficking to the attorney general slot....But keep this in mind: Gaetz resigned from his recent congressional seat, not the one he won in November. I think he could show up in the House in January & say, swear me in.

But would the Senate open its own investigation?
Gaetz is off the hook and Trump will be free to nominate who he wanted from the start: Ken Paxton, AG of Texas, And it will “seem” normal after Gaetz.
As a Texan, I know that Paxton will be much much worse. Indescribably worse.
We can still make a difference.
There is a difference between an old seat, and the same seat in the following election? That is a wrinkle I didn’t know about.
