Former Congressman Matt Gaetz is brutal. But he may not necessarily be a “former” Congressman just yet. He resigned following his nomination as Attorney General by President-Elect Donald Trump, only to withdraw over shenanigans over his House “investigation” (smear) report.

Umm… YES PLEASE! In fact, this is what should have been the plan the whole time. And if he’s unwilling or unable to do it (they could still block him from rejoining Congress, technically), then one of his allies in the House should do it for him.
