    the AG nom was a favor to provide cover for him to defuse his ethics bomb by resigning from congress

    wowee I probably would’ve asked the incoming President to just pardon me for whatever crimes against humanity and children i’ve committed

    (but really lol why would the AG nom have been cover for the ethics report if…the impact from the ethics report was not even defused)

      how dare you critique my shitpost! I was kinda having fun with that idea and I’m not prepared to give it a rigorous defense… honestly doubt it merits one in the first place… but let me ask this: in a world where the ethics report has power to hold Gaetz accountable while he’s in Congress, does it still have that power when he’s out of office?
