      You seem to think that the incoming administration will be following established laws, regulations, procedures, etc.

      They will not.

      You’re overlooking the fact that DOJ lawyers, provided by the Herritage Foundation and FedSoc will be arguing those cases. Gaetz just needs to do what he’s told.

      Gaetz is the chess-playing pigeon that knocks over the pieces and shits on the board.

      Here’s a fun theory. He wants Gaetz to oversee as many possible federal criminal cases against Trump as possible. His job would be to bring everything to court and throw the cases. Hello double jeopardy.

      Based on the fact that Trump has relatively little interest in any “platform” he has announced and it’s mostly about every trick possible to advance his personal situation. He doesn’t want competence, he wants people that will do whatever he says no matter what hand the intelligence into Putin’s hands, make the military Trump loyalists, quash any future legal troubles from the FBI/DoJ.

      While I’m sure he’s willing to let people have a go at enacting his campaign rhetoric, in any way that conflicts with a system that might hold Trump accountable, that rhetoric can be compromised.
