This week Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene threatened to expose every Republican with an ethics complaint if they refused to confirm Florida Rep Matt Gaetz, who was being investigated for sleeping with a minor, if they refused to confirm his nomination for Attorney General [click here if you missed that].
Gaetz has withdrawn his nomination...
From CBS News
Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz announced Thursday that he is withdrawing his nomination for attorney general.
President-elect Donald Trump tapped Gaetz to lead the Justice Department as the nation's top law enforcement officer last week. He swiftly resigned his seat in the House and was on Capitol Hill on Wednesday with Vice President-elect JD Vance, an Ohio senator, meeting with Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee who would oversee his confirmation hearings.
Gaetz said in a social media post that while he had "excellent meetings" with senators, his confirmation battle was taking away from the work of the incoming Trump administration.
"While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition," he wrote on social media. "There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I'll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump's DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1."
He added, "I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I'm certain he will Save America."

He better have.
THANK GOD ALMIGHTY!
Its just like dump to nominate another CRIMINAL to lead the highest law enforcement office in the US and threaten everybody who does not go along with that BS. Notice they Gaetz could NOT stand on his record, experience, or ethics?
He also resigned his post in Congress. I hope he won't be able to get his job back in Congress
LET'S HOPE HE WON'T GET THE JOB HE RESIGNED FROM BACK
Disgusting man. Glad he stepped down.
Snitch you need to retract your statement. There was no evidence of Gaetz sleeping with a minor. The DOJ closed their case & the investigation is over. You can delete my comment, but I’ll still send your post to Matt’s camp & they’ll take legal action like they did against Sunny Hostin. You small group of Democrats need to move on & accept your Loss! Non of yall can’t even name the AG of the weak Biden administration without hitting Google or can even name any of his cabinet members. You know absolutely nothing about politics! Stick to gossip & shucking & jiving!
Sincerely,
MAGA GANG🇺🇸🫡
Glad that the AG's name won't be Matt Gaetz
^AMEN TO THAT
Shame is a mutha
