I think Gabbard will do well. I am a little skeptical of a couple of the other picks -- Getz and Musk. Musk in particular seems to me like
someone who might go "bull in a china shop" and screw something up in

I'm more concerned about having Gabbard, a former Democrat, being the

been a Democrat in the first place, unless they did it for the money.

Unlike Gaetz, she is not under investigation for having sex with minors. Her being a former Democrat is much less worisome to me. Naming Gaetz would be like Biden or Harris naming Epstien to a position (assuming he was alive for them to do so).

It probably is. They want to warp "sex with minors" into "pedophilia". It's a smear campaign.
And remember, if an Ignorant Elitst claims that someone is <something>, you can be assured that the Ignorant Elitists actually is <something>.
Of course, it helps that Gaetz is really good a digging for the facts.
I hope he can put some of these people in prison (where they belong).

I think the term is "The Freak Party" as evidenced by the number of multi-pierced, tattooed, colored hair nut jobs who lost their minds (and sometimes their hair) online in the last week or so.

And, for most of the country, the accusations only prove:
1. The Elitists want to continue their two-tiered system of justice.
2. The Elitists, and their operatives, are guilty as sin and are scared that Gaetz will get the evidence and hold them accountable.
3. And that they know that Gaetz can do it.
That is what hearings and trials are for. Many crimes happen that are
not on video. Accusations are not proof but someone facing a hearing
for sex with a minor should not even be nominated for a position until they've been cleared of the charges.
I will say it again... it is just like nominating Epstien, were he still alive, or P. Diddy, or any close partying associates of either of them. If Kamala had won and then named Diddy as her AG, I am pretty sure everyone here would see how stupid that was, even though Diddy is only accused at this point.

I understand. It seems like Trump is making a mistake with that nomination, but it's also a mistake to let lawfare dictate who our nominees are going to be. Hopefully the senate sees it that way.
The theory is that for something like election fraud, you can't have direct lines of communication with anyone - since those will be traced back to a person who can rat out the leaders.
So they do things like effective-brainwashing, then signalling (i.e. "Trump is a threat to Democracy!"), then some gentle nudging of suggestions of what do to.
The problem with such a setup is that you can't control it. Ex: You
can't tell the operatives to "stand down". Hence why they are still trying to cheat in some states by generating fake ballots.
So you still have some people pushing the "plan" when they should have been told to "stand down, bide your time, be quiet", because they can't
be told that. There are no lines of communication because each

Assuming it is lawfare.
With Trump, some of the accusations were obviously exaggerated if not fabricated.
In Gaetz's case, he apparently was pretty boastful to fellow Republicans about his exploits, and some of them were not at all impressed.
With turnover in recent administrations being what it is, I am sure Trump could have found Gaetz a place to reward him with after Gaetz had been cleared.
What accusations do you find exaggerated or fabricated?

But who knows what's going on behind the scenes. Maybe Trump and Gatez are planning on doing some hardcore prosecutions. That's what I'm hoping for. I don't want Biden or Hochul to get away with the awful things they've done

I think you've not been following along. IMHO, Trump is rewarding Gaetz for being a good MAGA with the AG position nomination.
What makes the Elitists nervious, though, is that these few places "still counting" will get a great deal of scrutiny. The last thing the
Elitists want is for someone to examine what's been going on.

There are many, many qualified persons that Trump could do that with that do not have any sex with minors accusations hanging over their heads.
I also think it is funny that the notion that the Democrats are the
"party of paedophiles" has been shared in this echo many, many times,
and yet there is no apparent issues with potential paedophilia when a
MAGA is involved.
The case is legally and factually complex, making it harder for a jury to embrace a narrative that justifies a conviction.
The indictment charges Trump with falsifying business records with intent to defraud,
Did you see it? or miss it (due to your hatred and condition of TDS)
Bragg has alleged that there are multiple second crimes.
We Are STILL Waiting to see. What These "Other Crimes" are Alleged to be.

This is the first time a MAGA Republican is accused of pedophilia, that
I know of. But look at it this way: there's no proof. Just testimony.
"Go in there and tell them that Matt Gaetz had sex with you 10 years
ago and that he smoked crack too."

allegations, but there's never any proof (except when it's a Democrat.)
Assuming there is a report.
There is a report. The investigation was concluded and Gaetz was told about it and chose to resign rather than face the consequences.
In spite of Gaetz's resignation the report can be released although
MAGAs won't support that and congress can't slap him.
Trump has already been convicted. He is awaiting sentencing.
He was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
Even if that case is under appeal, he is a felon until if/when it
is appealed.
If it is thrown out on merit, then that is a good thing. If it is thrown out because a Trump appointed AG gets rid of it, then we cannot ever say if he was guilty or not.
In this case, he seems to be talking about the conviction from earlier this year and, for once, seems to have knowledge of what he is talking about.
My guess would be that a Gaetz-lead DOJ will be a lot less likely to ever expose the Epstein list as he could very well be on it. Maybe on the Diddy list, too.

Trump is a felon after the judge renders the conviction. Until then... He's not. The judge is playing with the conviction because this is all a
game.
Alan Dershowitz, and many other Constitutional Scholars say that there are sooooooooo many reversible errors that the case will get tossed eventually... On appeal. Moreover, there is a bunch of evidence that should not have been presented in the case be cause, as per the Supreme Court, Trump had immunityithi
some of the evidence.
Alan Dershowitz, et al., said NY law says that the Judge has to sentence
1 year of Jury conviction... So he can't wait until 2029. And there is a way to tackle the case if the judge tries to postpone it until 2029.

His ability to vote is contingent on his voting status in New York, where he was convicted. In NY state, a felon CAN vote so long as they are not
incarcerated. He was not in jail, so he was still eligible to vote.

The appeals process doesn't change anything until a ruling is made in said appeal. If you appeal a felony conviction, until the appelate court rules otherwise, you ARE a felon.

I think you might be confusing the sentence with the conviction. Trump has been convicted of a felony. Whether he is sentenced to community service or jail doesn't alter the felony status of the conviction.
Yeah, I think that is probably part of the "right to a fair trial" protection. It would prevent NY from holding someone indefinately
without finally sentencing them.
I have seen Alan use both, and both are true. Trump was convicted of a felony. He has yet to be sentenced but, until/unless the case is
appealed and/or tossed, he is currently convicted of a felony and is therefore a felon.
That depends on what state you live in and also may be subject to you actually being sentenced and/or exhausting your appeals.
There is an appeals process but you are a convicted felon upon
conviction, not sentencing. Otherwise, someone who never exhausts their appeals would never be a felon.
And a distraction from Biden's misappropriation and mishandling of classified materials.
