Do right wingers here really believe that Trump's appointees (Gaetz, RFK, & Gabbard) are actually QUALIFIED for those offices?

Is Matt Gaetz ‘an accomplished attorney'?

Quote

The part that caught our ear was that Gaetz was "an accomplished attorney." Gaetz jumped into politics in his late 20s, and his legal résumé includes less than a decade of private practice.

The more standard profile for an incoming attorney general in recent decades is past experience as a judge (such as Merrick Garland, Eric Holder, Michael Mukasey and Alberto Gonzales), a senior federal or state prosecutor (Garland, Jeff Sessions, Loretta Lynch and Janet Reno), a senator (Sessions and John Ashcroft), a governor (Ashcroft and Richard Thornburgh), a White House counsel (Gonzales), a senior Justice Department appointee (Bill Barr), or some combination of these roles. 

....

To gauge the scope of Gaetz’s legal career, we looked through court records for the Florida Bar; Fort Walton Beach’s Okaloosa County and neighboring Walton County; MyFloridaCounty.com; and the legal websites Justia and CourtListener.

Messages left at Gaetz’s former House office, Johnson’s office, AnchorsGordon, and the Trump campaign and transition press office were not returned.

We found that Gaetz argued at least seven cases in his home county on a variety of matters; that he was 2-0 in appellate cases; that he’s been delinquent on his bar dues but is current now; and that he received a critical letter from the bar but was not formally disciplined. He also had more than a dozen traffic-related charges, about half as a teenager and half after he became a lawyer.

Gaetz was the attorney of record in at least seven cases at the trial court level

From 2009 to 2016, Gaetz argued at least seven cases at the trial level in Okaloosa County. (For part of that time, Gaetz was serving in the Florida House, but working as a lawyer is not unusual for a legislator; Florida has a part-time Legislature, so it’s common for legislators to keep day jobs.)

The seven cases in court records ranged widely in substance. In 2008, Gaetz represented two separate clients for speeding tickets. In 2009, he represented a local restaurant, the Crab Trap, in a workers’ compensation case. That same year, he began representing a local aircraft maintenance company that was pursuing a negligence case. 

Starting in 2009, he represented Okaloosa County in a civil case against the city of Valparaiso. In 2010, Gaetz represented a client over a money dispute of less than $15,000. And in 2016, he represented a client involved in a custody case.

We were unable to access a full list of cases in neighboring Walton County, but he also had at least one more case as the attorney of record in that jurisdiction. 

Gaetz may also have worked on other cases for more senior lawyers at the firm without being noted as an attorney of record. Not everything a lawyer does ends up in court, so Gaetz was likely working on other clients’ legal business outside of court cases during his time with the firm.

"Some junior lawyers do nothing but legal research, so Rep. Gaetz’s record at the firm is not unusual," said Dave Aronberg, the state attorney for Palm Beach County, Florida, and a former Democratic state senator. "I knew Matt in the state legislature, but I never heard anything about his legal career."

Color me unimpressed.

A White House spokesperson underscored to CNN that Brinton was not a White House appointee.

“They are a career civil service employee, and consistent with how personnel actions are handled for nearly 2 million civil service employees across the federal government, I have to refer you to [the Department of Energy] for more information,” the official added.

It doesn't matter when the reality and responsibility took off. You can vote for anything: the right to be dumb; gamble all your worth away; jump off the roof; anything, really. Sure, you have this right. No one and nothing will stop you. What you cannot do no matter how hard try is to cancel the consequences of your choices. In the reality. In the head, doesn't matter one bit, to the reality. The reality will always catch up. So many tried to beat this simple law of nature.

Gaetz is an intelligent, focused individual, and the US judiciary is suddenly on notice: lawfare just became illegal. 

Former Federalist magazine publisher and current Fox News contributor Ben Domenech calls Gaetz a “sex trafficking drug addled lying philandering piece of s–t,” noting that, “He is abhorrent. His eyes are permanently rimmed with the red rings of chemical boosters. In person, he smells like overexposed Axe Body Spray and stale Astroglide.… The man has less principles than your average fentanyl addicted hobo.”

The democrats made their selections based on meeting a quota of having enough men who wear fake boobs and wear skirts. Yet this guy is criticizing the choice of a woman who served as a high rank in combat and was the co-chair of a major political party? 

Very strange take 

The fictional network of U.S.-funded Ukrainian bio-weapon laboratories, the function of a Moscow-orchestrated disinformation project, has been picked up by Gabbard, as well. The day Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Gabbard said it was all NATO’s fault. In Moscow, Gabbard is known as “Russia’s girlfriend.”

 

While she was a serving congresswoman, Gabbard paid a courtesy visit to Syrian dictator Bashar Assad in 2017 and returned to the U.S. encouraging Americans to be “skeptical” about Assad’s thoroughly documented use of poison gas to slaughter Syrian civilians. She described the mass uprising against the hated Assad regime as an American-orchestrated “regime-change war.”

Gabbard loudly protested the Trump administration’s 2020 targeted killing of the Iranian Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, the principal animateur of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Yemeni Houthis’ Ansar Allah terrorist group and Iraq’s Kata’ib Hezbollah. Soleimani’s death was widely celebrated by pro-democracy Iranian dissidents.

Ben Domenech:

I've never heard of Ben Domenech before and I watch Fox News quite a bit. I only watch the other US news outlets to see how much they're lying.

FYI they have some hard-core leftist liars on Fox News for the sake of debate. For example, Jessica Tarlov, from "The Five", is such a raging leftist liar that she'd look right at home on MSNBC.

That doesn't mean that Fox supports lying, but they just have someone there who purports to believe all of the actual left-wing lies of the day. 

Matt Gaetz:

Quote

“Instead of working with me to ban Congressional stock trading, the Ethics Committee is now opening new frivolous investigations. They are doing this to avoid the obvious fact that every investigation into me ends the same way: my exoneration,” Gaetz said on the social platform X.

Ban Congressional Stock Trading, from Forbes.

To this day there is no actual evidence of Matt Gaetz doing anything illegal, just the same kind of unsubstantiated accusations that we saw in the Kavanaugh trial. Gaetz is a high-profile and effective conservative who is reviled by the swampsters, just like Kavanaugh and Trump are.

The same people who can't find fault with Biden's Ukraine and China dealings seem to think that we should put 100% faith in the drivel of slimy twats like E J Caroll, Chistine Blasey-Ford, etc.

What means that Fox supports lying, is them having to pay $800M libel for LYING. Duh

Even if Gaetz was not guilty of sex trafficking, he STILL only spent a couple years practicing law and NEVER PROSECUTED ANYONE. His status is way below average for AG. But he will destroy the DoJ just like Trump wants. 🤮
