Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz has a message\u2064 for you:\u200b If\u200b there&#8217;s ever an Attorney General Gaetz, things would look a lot different.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday,\u2063 Garland announced that the &#8220;extraordinary circumstances&#8221; of\u2062 the Hunter Biden investigation compelled \u2063him to name David Weiss, the Delaware-based U.S. attorney already investigating the \u2063first son&#8217;s financial dealings, as special \u200bcounsel, according to \u200dthe Associated Press.<\/p>\n<p>Garland\u200c said\u2064 he \u2064expects Weiss to work in an &#8220;even-handed and urgent&#8221; \u200dway, and to Democrats, I&#8217;m sure, it might look that way. Republicans weren&#8217;t quite\u2063 so convinced, given that Weiss \u200bwas the architect of the \u2064plea deal that a judge threw \u2064out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There were provisions within that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ghislaine-maxwell-now-accusing-prison-guard-of-abuse\/\" title=\"Ghislaine Maxwell Now Accusing Prison Guard Of Abuse\">sweetheart plea deal<\/a> that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/leftists-claim-everything-is-racist-except-for-actual-race-hatred\/\" title=\"Leftists Claim Everything Is Racist \u2014 Except For Actual Race Hatred\">granted complete immunity<\/a>\u2063 to Hunter Biden for these crimes and future crimes,&#8221; Missouri Republican Rep.

Let&#8217;s start \u2064there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, it&#8217;s not clear who\u2062 Gaetz thinks might be looking toward nominating him as attorney general. We have a good idea thanks \u200dto the fact he&#8217;s endorsed former President Donald Trump for the GOP \u2062nomination \u2014 although, according to The Hill, he also noted \u200dthat he thinks that a Trump-DeSantis ticket in 2024 would be &#8220;terrific,&#8221; and he likely wouldn&#8217;t be disinclined to support a fellow Floridian for the nation&#8217;s highest office.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, he&#8217;s been one of the most \u2063consistent\u200d conservative\u2062 voices in the lower house\u200d of Congress\u2063 \u2014 and as a lawyer, he&#8217;d be a \u2064potential pick for any populist Republican who retakes the Oval Office in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Whether \u2062or not\u200c there is an Attorney General Gaetz or \u2064not, however, his point \u200cis well-taken: It&#8217;s not necessary for Republicans \u200bto just sit\u2062 back\u200d and sulk and \u2062stop issuing criminal referrals because they&#8217;re going to go in his circular bin to die.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, Friday was yet another brutal reminder that Garland \u2062still doesn&#8217;t take the\u200d fact that the first son not only traded on his father&#8217;s name \u2063to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/matt-gaetz-eyes-high-level-appointment-if-trump-wins-re-election-in-2024\/\" title=\"Matt Gaetz hopes for a top role if Trump wins again in 2024.\">score foreign business deals<\/a>, but he also \u2064received a sweetheart \u2064plea agreement from the special\u2064 counsel\u2064 Garland is appointing\u200c to investigate.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden \u2062administration may be doing\u2063 all it can to\u2063 pervert the \u200ccourse of justice. That \u2063doesn&#8217;t mean we \u200dshould despair, however \u2014 particularly given the \u200bpotential that Matt Gaetz or another one of his \u200cRepublican allies is the next attorney general.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/matt-gaetz-eyes-high-level-appointment-trump-wins-re-election-2024\/\">Matt Gaetz Eyes\u2064 High-Level\u2062 Appointment if Trump Wins Re-Election in 2024<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those disheartened by AG Merrick Garland appointing the same person who arranged the failed plea deal in the Hunter Biden investigation as special counsel, Rep.
