Absolute sleazebag , Matt Gaetz, withdraws from nomination for Trump’s AG

He says he’s withdrawing to help Trump‘s transition team focus on getting appointments through without the media distraction - however we all can safely assume I think that he was running scared that his sexual misconduct investigation would be made public and was under pressure from senior Republicans to withdraw to avoid the mess.

Why wouldn't he? They now have a well established two-tier system of justice where presidents and former presidents are allowed to whatever they like with only the minor inconvenience of bad publicity.
