Yes, okay, let’s talk about these Trump appointees, nominations, right? In particular, not the controversial ones. All of them will have controversy. But let’s talk about the one that is completely 1% utterly insane. Matt Gaetz, Congressman out of Florida. Well, former congressman out of Florida. He just resigned. Why did he resign? Because he’s now the pick, the de facto for Attorney General of the United States of America. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump is selecting a man who has credible allegations of sex trafficking, a minor cocaine use and other stuff
on his back,
Matt Gaetz, who was already under an investigation in the house, as a matter of fact, they were just about to release information on Matt Gaetz, but Matt Gaetz resignation makes it null and void, because no longer does the committee have
investigatory jurisdiction to release this damning information.
But according to the new update, Donald Trump will appoint Matt Gaetz Now, Republicans are saying no, no, no. Multiple Republicans in the Senate have said they are not going to support Matt Gaetz, well, guess what? Probably won’t matter. Here’s here’s why Donald Trump can make what’s called a recess appointment. A recess appointment allows for the President of the United States to appoint a person in a position, a cabinet position, like a G while the Senate is in recess. According to the rules, you need 10 days, at least 10 days of recess in the US Senate. And according to the Congressional Research Service, that recessed appointment can last for up to two years, then you can vote and actually have, well, a more formal Senate approval, or you could just make another damn recess appointment. So if a president can just make recess appointments, why does it matter
if the Senate, which is supposed to be a co equal branch,
why should they have to prove anything if you could just make a recess appointment? Also remember, recess appointments are allowed in the US Constitution, Article two, section two, clause three, states the president shall have power to fill all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, an individual like Matt Gaetz who barely escaped being in federal prison himself, and I’m sure the fact that he was in charge of the budget that the Department of Justice needed had nothing to do with the fact that the charges and the investigation all of a sudden disappeared. It was a no go. Even though multiple members of the Congress, multiple Republican members of the Congress, they believe he did, in fact violate federal law. They believe he is, in fact someone who engaged in illegal activity with a minor and multiple Anonymous members of Congress said he is, in fact, a horrible human being.
Trump’s path to confirming alleged sex trafficker as attorney general
By Straight Arrow News
Among all of President-elect Donald Trump’s administration picks so far, his nomination of Congressman Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., to serve as attorney general stands out as one of the most controversial. In 2018, Gaetz brought a right-wing Holocaust denier to the State of the Union and later attempted to expel two fathers who had lost children in the Parkland mass shooting from a hearing after they objected to his claims about gun control. Gaetz has also been the subject of an ongoing House investigation over allegations of sex trafficking, illegal drug use and misuse of campaign funds.
Watch the video above as Straight Arrow News contributor Dr. Rashad Richey shares his dismay at the prospect of Gaetz leading the U.S. Justice Department. Dr. Richey breaks down how, even if Republican senators oppose the nomination, Trump may still push it through.

A recess appointment allows for the president of the United States to appoint a person in a position, a cabinet position like AG, while the Senate is in recess. According to the rules, you need 10 days, at least 10 days of recess in the U.S. Senate. And according to the Congressional Research Service, that recessed appointment can last for up to two years, then you can vote and actually have, well, a more formal Senate approval, or you could just make another damn recess appointment.
