President-elect Donald Trump’s choice of Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz for attorney general has sparked controversy and concern from Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, who claims that Gaetz will turn the Department of Justice into an “arm of the White House” designed to “prosecute Trump’s political enemies.” Murphy made these claims on “The Lead with Jake Tapper” on Wednesday, stating that Gaetz’s nomination is a “stunning” and potentially disastrous decision for American democracy.
According to Murphy, Gaetz’s nomination serves as a warning sign for the future of the Department of Justice, which he claims will turn into a tool for Trump to target his perceived adversaries. He also highlights Gaetz’s support for Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results and abolish law enforcement agencies that do not align with conservative priorities, suggesting that he will use his position to advance Trump’s personal agenda rather than uphold justice.
Murphy also mentions Trump’s previous comments about using the White House to go after his political opponents, suggesting that Gaetz’s nomination is in line with these promises. He expresses hope that some Senate Republicans will see the potential consequences of this decision and stand against it.
However, Trump’s other appointments, such as former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard for director of National Intelligence and Fox News host Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense, as well as the consideration to drop federal prosecutions against him, indicate a desire for a peaceful transition of power and an effort to unify the country.
While Murphy and other Democrats criticize Gaetz’s nomination, it is important to note that he is a well-respected attorney and a graduate of William & Mary Law School. He also has a track record of championing conservative values and supporting Trump’s policies, which is likely why he was chosen for this position.
The nomination of Matt Gaetz as attorney general, along with Trump’s other appointments and potential pardons, shows a willingness to move forward and heal the divisiveness of the past few years. It is not a cause for alarm, but rather a sign of Trump’s commitment to fulfilling his promises and putting the country first.
Is Murphy that stupid or just another Democrat liar? After four years of Garland corrupting and abusing the DOJ he is afraid of a Republican actually upholding our constitution. There is no credibility in Garlands DOJ.
He just another Democrat liar who has a lot to hide. He may be one who will be going to prison.
Murphy where was your voice for the past four years, or is it ok to crucify conservatives. Merrick garland and the Biden admin, didn’t have any problem with lawfare.
ITS THE BIG LIE, ACCUSE THE OTHER OF WHAT YOUR DOING AND YES MURPHY IS THAT STUPID
Think Trump is doing this to cause Heart attacks in the DNC? 😂🤣
If there is any politician who is untrustworthy, it is Murphy. He is unfit for any office
After screwing up the government and weaponizing the FBI, CIA, and DOJ. The dumb Dems are whining about the new administration picks that will certainly turn things back to where they should be. Dems are afraid because they worry that the lawfare might be reversed? Someone call the Whaaaaambulamce for all these hypocrites! I have no sympathy for these traitors who have corrupted the entire system! Throw them out!
LOVE IT!
American progressives who looked to Italian fascism as a model for America. Some on the Left even looked to Hitler for leadership. And the enthusiasm was reciprocal: both Hitler and Mussolini praised FDR and saw in the progressive New Deal an at least partial realization of the ideals of both fascism and National Socialism.
“the strange fact that the Nazis frequently praised Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal government in the early 1930s.” Big lie alert! This fact is only “strange,” it turns out, because scholars like Whitman have been camouflaging the ideological affinities between the American Left and the Nazis. this exact thinking is still going on today with the left
Murphy ,he is coming after u, and many corrupt dumbocraps, that have been screwing over the American people for 4yrs,, and u are one of them, whine all u want, justice is around the corner, u should be afraid. lol
Pot calling the kettle black. That’s what the DOJ has been doing for Biden since his disastrous election.
Murphy needs to shut up, sit down & let the adults fix all the crap that his party has screwed up.
I hope that every name attached to the Lawfare goes to prison ………. they deserve nothing less.
I hope patriots are waiting, whenthey get out.
Merrick Garland was the most partisan and corrupt attorney general I am aware of. He weaponized the Department of Justice. When Sen Murphy was asked: “….can you name one Republican that will vote against any of these individuals?” (meaning the cabinet nominees). Murphy dodged a direct answer and rambled on. I will answer the question. Gates will undoubtedly be confirmed because only a tiny fraction of cabinet nominations are not confirmed.
Sen. Chris Murphy loses his mind. No biggie. He never used it, anyway.
Grammar correction: what your doing is not correct; your is a possessive pronoun, You need you”re, a contraction for you are,
AMEN AMEN JOE THESE DEMONIC DEMON DEMOCRATS have been doing just that for the last 4 years but to them its ok to weaponizing the D O J THE C I A THE F B I ALL against TRUMP but its not fair if it gets done to you democrats I SAY HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I truly truly HOPE TRUMP DOES go after you criminals starting with the demented obiden & kneepad harris and his whole back stabbing lying administration YOU ALL SHOULD BE taken out of our white house in hand cuffs and leg irons and prosecuted for all YOUR CRIMES AND TREASON AGAINST OUR COUNTRY YOU DEMOCRATS ARE THE DANGER TO OUR COUNTRY NOT PRESIDENT TRUMP AND I HOPE IN SOME WAY SOME HOW HE CAN GO AFTER THE LYING SKANK HILLARY CLINTON TALK ABOUT GARBAGE & DEPLORABLE THATS CLINTON SHE had sold out our country when she sold 20 % of our uranium to Russia and put all the money in her bank account which I AM SURE was worth millions she is a criminal just like the obamas the bushes her hubby who had Monica on her knees under the most famous desk in the world giving him a B J and all he got was a slap on the hand but you parasites do everything you can and run with something that TRUMP had said years & years ago when he had nothing to do with being in office SO WHAT who gives a rats behind the only person that it maybe had was on MELANIA and apparently they worked it out sooo it was really NONE of your business you democrats are the rats & I hope everyone of you rot in hell
Let’s see, the democrats and Biden can use the White House to weaponize all the alphabet organizations in government to take down Trump and all of their political opponents. Jackass Smith, Fat Fannie Willis, Lapigface James, all those obummer appointed judges, ect. is okay because the democrats are doing it. Now that the Donald is going to be in charge, these democrats are running scared shiite less, because they know that karma is a real bitch and they are are going to feel what it’s like to be bent over that proverbial table and driven where the sun don’t shine. Their gravey train has been derailed and now they’re shakin in their boots. It’s payback time Ladies and Gentlemen, so pull up a chair and start the popcorn!
NOTE: MATT GAETZ IS THE IDEAL ATTORNEY GENERAL TO HELP OUR BATTLE CAPTAIN CONDUCT HIS ENVELOPMENT OF THE DC SWAMP AND THOSE SWAMPS FOUND IN FAR TOO MANY CITIES ACROSS THIS NATION.

FINALLY A TRUE BATTLE CAPTAIN
America, we are now on the path to make America great again. Why? Because over 75 million of us have elected the very first true ‘Battle Captain’ as our President and Commander-in-Chief. Why do I say Donald Trump is our first true Battle Captain? Because, Donald Trump is the first president to regularly demonstrate that the ‘Seven C’s of Leadership’ are a part of his character. The ‘Seven C’s of Leadership’ listed in the order of their importance in a survey of 1645 ground combat veterans are: CANDOR, COMPETENCE, COMMITMENT, CONSISTENCY, COURAGE, COMPASSION, and COURTESY.
As one of the army officers charged with finding a true Battle Captain among all those army officers serving this nation from the Revolutionary War through the Vietnam Conflict, I can testify that we only found one officer who made the grade of ‘Battle Captain’. And, he like Donald Trump was not a professional soldier. A year before the Battle of Gettysburg he was a college professor, yet most historians credit him for saving the Union Forces left flank and forcing General Lee to commit his forces to a frontal attack which failed. The Battle of Gettysburg is generally credited as the turning point of the Civil War and lead to the surrender of the Confederate Forces two years later.
Donald Trump has proven that he is indeed a Battle Captain. He has turned the attacks on our flanks and now I am confident he will succeed in an overwhelming envelopment of all the forces trying to destroy America. God bless and protect Donald Trump, and God Bless and protect America as we help Donald Trump make America great again.
