    Please don’t nominate him for anything else. He resigned from Congress. This could be incredibly hilarious.

    Edit: and if any Democrat on the ethics committee doesn’t leak the report they should all be primaried and removed from their posts.

      Note that while he resigned from this current Congress, he did get reelected to the next Congress, so he’ll still be a US rep in Florida once the session starts in late January. Just kind of an extended two month vacation really.

        Maybe not, according to https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11/21/us/trump-gaetz-news/5e296b83-bf2f-50cc-96b8-5049b764b8a9:

        Absent extraordinary events, we do not expect to see Gaetz back in the House next Congress. When he submitted his resignation to the House last week after being tapped for attorney general, he wrote: “I do not intend to take the oath of office for the same office in the 119th Congress.”

        It is always possible that Gaetz can invoke the ancient privilege of “SIKE!!!” And take it all back. But then the ethics report will get released…

          They are counting the media interest will die out. That’s why this should be released NOW not having any delays. Those are only to wait for things calming and then quietly dismissing it.

      he is scared of a moral report that would go public if he is part of the kabinet. so no he wont get any other positon, if he wants to try to lie the pedophelia away.

      I’d imagine he won’t get nominated for anything else per se, but he’ll just be a senior advisor or some bullshit. He’ll absolutely still be in the white house, in Trump’s ear.
