Conservatives strongly support the nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz to the position of Attorney General and urge his swift confirmation.
Under the tenure of Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has become a rabidly partisan, politically weaponized agency used by the president to wage lawfare against his political opponents. The agency is urgently in need of reform. We believe Matt Gaetz can and will do a superb job of returning the agency to its proper role of impartially representing the American justice system.
A graduate of William and Mary law school, Gaetz has routinely been aggressive and prepared for his constitutional role in Congress, overseeing the Department of Justice from his seat on the House Judiciary Committee. Any cursory review of his numerous times questioning Department officials, including FBI officials, demonstrates that the former representative has been thoughtful, demanding answers “without fear or favor.” And he has not been partisan, praising top Biden Department officials when they have pursued impartial judicial or policy aims.
Moreover, Rep. Gaetz has been the most active member of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, appearing at more depositions and transcribed interviews, and in more hearings, than any other member. His work on that critical committee has helped shine a light on the political retaliation and abuses by our nation’s law enforcement agencies and helped prepare him to address many of these issues at DOJ.
Matt Gaetz has demonstrated the tenacity, courage, and intellect required to manage the DOJ competently and effectively– and most importantly, he has the trust of President-elect Trump to carry out this task. We firmly support him in this mission. The Senate must confirm him without delay.
