Gaetz wasn't a private citizen when the allegations occurred. He conveniently resigned the day before the findings were released knowing how damaging they would be. A cabinet nominee must be vetted and I guess he and Trump felt all their fellow Republicans would just fall in line and confirm him without pressing for the results of the investigation.

Come on, this guy was accused of sex trafficking a minor and illicit drug use and is being nominated for Attorney General -The top law enforcement officer of the nation, an individual who serves as the U.S. government's top legal adviser and the head of the Department of Justice.

What's just as disturbing is that Trump nominated him in the first place. I guess a little sex trafficking is acceptable behavior for Trump.

I expect Gaetz's next move will be a spot on Fox News... sounds like a good fit for him.
