If Trump really wanted to mess with their heads, he could have named RFK Jr Attorney General.

The Gaetz pick has certainly smoked out the snakes.

Yeah, a terrible pick if you are deep state.

Unfortunately, it likely means he won’t get it through the committee process. It will need to be during a recess.

Byron is welcome to run for President and pick his own guy. The voters have spoken.
