Trump does not want Gaetz as Atty General... [View all]

...although he would be pleased if he were confirmed.

The one person in the whole world that he thought would not be confirmed by the Republican Senate is Matt Gaetz. He is universally hated in the Republican Party.

Who he really wants is the next person he chooses after Gaetz.

In my opinion, he was trying to do Gaetz a favor. The Ethics Committee was getting ready for their verdict on Gaetz and he did not plan on being around much longer anyway.

But, if he was the AG, he could drop all investigations on himself and on Donald Trump. That would be the best of all worlds. But Trump does not expect that to happen.

It is his next choice that he wants as Attorney General.
