Highlighting Gaetz's immorality, criminality or even lack of ability to run a real Attorney General's office misses what is truly frightening about the Gaetz nomination. The last thing Trump wants is a real AG's office. He is determined not to have one. He wants an AG willing and able to purge the department and all its subordinate bureaus (e.g. the FBI) shape them into instruments of Trump's vengeance. Gaetz is perfectly capable, perhaps ideally suitable to conduct a purge and carry on a targeted vendetta.
There'll be no more attorney's like the ones who testified before the January 6th committee. They'll be lots of Jeffrey Clarks willing to take orders. Along with a pliant Secretary of Defense ready to purge the officer corp and get rid of General Officers who will give back talk when Trump wants the Army to go into blue cities or seize ballot boxes the future looks truly frightening.
I wish all we had to worry about was incompetence. A clown show would be a great relief.
