    This a rhetorical question, right?

    They can go only so far with their BS made-up lawfare. That's why this is going nowhere.

    Law breakers are upset someone would have the audacity to try to hold them accountable for their actions because in their minds they are not bound by the laws they try to bind others.

    Oh ok. So if there isn't enough evidence of criminal activity, 'lawfare' doesn't work and they shut down the investigation. 'Lawfare' only works when there is enough evidence to not shut down an investigation. Got it.

    Lawfare is made up, but in the case of Gaetz... he's a damn good lawyer that would shred them in any court of law. They have nothing, and they are afraid to invent something that he can easily disprove.

    One more tidbit... Gaetz has the goods on the DOJ corruption, first hand.



    This video below is the very reason why the Dems in congress are very nervous of a Gaetz AG.

    it's not the resignation that is the problem

    it's the lack of qualifications of the replacements and the obvious bias with respect to cases to be pursued, ie J6 cases, cases against MAGA operatives, hate crimes, militias, etc


    MAGA will try and do what they have been accusing the others of doing, ie weaponizing the justice department. like everything else with MAGA, every accusation is actually a confession

    That this country is in deep, deep trouble that will take years to recover from. That action would benefit one group of people only...criminals.

    Experienced, talented prosecutors do not grow on trees. There was a reason I started my prosecutorial career in traffic court...the most serious thing I could have screwed up was a DUI or misdemeanor weed case. It was years before I was entrusted to handle a murder case and that was after significant stints in traffic court, juvenile court and misdemeanor court before being promoted to felony court and ultimately Felony Division Chief.

    If Gaetz somehow makes it though this, you will see the immediate departure of many of our most talented federal prosecutors and our country will be very much the worse off because of it. These are highly educated, talented lawyers of very high moral character, they will not put up with Gaetz.

    Contrast that to the collection of legal sewage Trump has retained in many of his cases to represent him. How many have lost their licenses to practice? Been indicted? Pleaded guilty to significant crimes?

    Don't presidents traditionally replace all the US attorneys?

    The appointed positions, yes. I think what JMDZ is speaking to are the experienced career AUSAs that do the lion’s share of the work. The appointed positions will try cases but manage and set policy for each office.
