Gaetz withdrew from the nomination. So, small victories, sill hope they lock him up. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/matt-gaetz-withdraws-trump-attorney-general-nomination_n_673f6dbae4b0fc93e3d11bb1?9m6 Oh, and he resigned his House seat for the AG position, so he's seemingly just OUT OF WASHINGTON, ...
