I am sorry but to interpret the Republicans as defiant on this is not even close to the reality.

Gaetz was the lowest of low hanging fruit to reject on obvious grounds. Anyone who thinks Pam Bondi will be any better at safeguarding the integrity of the Department of Justice hasn't watched her in action in Florida or her participation in the "Stop the Steal 2020" campaign.

She is a skilled and ambitious sycophant with no ethics and on paper unassailable with regard to experience. It was Gaetz's obvious inexperience and not his sex life that stood in his way.

And one could argue that an attorney with actual lawyering experience is more dangerous than a junior associate with 18 months of experience from years ago. MAGA bleats a lot about "Lawfare", so they know what they are doing; as usual, whatever they are accusing their opponents of, is what they are planning 10x over.
