On Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” former South Carolina congressman and network host Trey Gowdy delivered a sharp critique of President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).
During the broadcast, Gowdy expressed serious concerns about corruption, emphasizing that appointing someone with questionable ethics to lead the Justice Department would not address existing issues.

The discussion began when host Bret Baier referenced his previous conversation with incoming Senate majority leader Senator Thune, who acknowledged the challenges ahead for some of Trump’s nominations, while noting Republican senators’ general inclination to support the president’s choices.
“Yes, the overwhelming majority of his picks will sail through because they were grand slam picks,” Gowdy replied. “But to Mollie’s point, you don’t root out corruption at the Department of Justice by picking a corrupt person to lead it. So, Matt Gaetz, either the report comes out and he is not going to be the attorney general, or the report doesn’t come out and he is not going to be the attorney general.”
When @NRO pukes were defending Biden/Garland inhumane treatment of J6 political prisoners who were denied release and held in a fetid DC gulag, @RepMattGaetz called it out
He even mocked Trey Gowdy, who just attacked Gaetz on Fox News

“The problem, Bret, is all the good picks, John Ratcliffe, Elise Stefanik, Lee Zeldin, Mike Waltz, all the good picks, nobody is talking about those right now,” he continued. “They are talking about this wild card pick of someone who had to get out of the House to avoid being sanctioned by the House Ethics Committee. That dumbfounding pick is just sucking the oxygen out of all the good ones he made.”
