Matt Gaetz Is Just The Man To Take A Wrecking Ball To The DOJ
But how exactly is Gaetz unqualified to lead the Justice Department? Put another way, what does Trump s incoming attorney general need to be qualified to do?
Mostly, clean house at the DOJ. Going back at least to 2016, the Justice Department has been a viper s nest of politically motivated prosecutions, sham investigations, coup-plotting, domestic spying and censorship, entrapment schemes, and the terrorization of law-abiding Americans. From illegally spying on Trump to the political persecution of Jan. 6 defendants, the DOJ has become a cancer on our body politic, and we need someone to go in and cut it out.
Above all, we need a Justice Department that will refrain from trying to undermine or remove the duly elected president. As Will Chamberlain noted on X, The best way to understand the Gaetz pick is that it s a statement by Trump that it s not 2016 anymore and there will be no internal coup against the sitting President.
Trump needs someone willing to put on a Level V Biohazard suit and wade into the toxic mess that is the DOJ. And then wage war when he get there. That’s what it’s come to. Not many people are willing and able to do that.
