Matt Gaetz drops out as Trump’s attorney general pick | NewsNation Now

[@bluejay3945]

[@SuperBlobsterMan]

'Art of the Deal.' Trump made a deal with the Senate. Agree to drop Gaetz in exchange to pass his other picks. Trump is playing chess and the media thinks the game is checkers.

No… he was not cleared. It was still being conducted which is why he resigned to stop it. He is a POS that deserves to be in prison. I’m so happy he is out of government now.
