Senators respond to attacks on Gaetz
...
Andrea Mitchell:
What is your reaction to Matt Gaetz as Attorney General? Right now, would you support him?
Bill Hagerty:
Listen, Andrea, it’s amazing to me that people are reacting the way they are to what you just showed, because there has been no one better at channeling the American public’s frustration with the weaponization of the Department of Justice than Matt Gaetz. You can understand the President’s frustration with the DOJ.
During his first campaign, they used a fake Clinton dossier to spy on him. Look at what happened in the first Trump administration—this whole fake Russiagate hoax. The DOJ litigated him for years over that.
In 2020, the DOJ went to big tech and had them censor Hunter Biden’s laptop to throw the election toward Joe Biden. Think about what just happened in 2024: the DOJ, with their colleagues around the country, brought five different cases to try President Biden’s top opponent, President Trump. I can understand his frustration in wanting to put an agent of change in place. I’m not surprised at all.
Andrea Mitchell:
I don’t want to litigate everything that happened with Donald Trump because there’s a lot of evidence to support many of the allegations and, in fact, the indictments—Mar-a-Lago, the sloppy intelligence handling.
Bill Hagerty:
I think the American public spoke louder than anybody. They gave him the strongest mandate we’ve seen in 36 years in reaction to all of this.
Andrea Mitchell:
But a Trump-appointed judge cut all of that off, and it wasn’t fully vetted. Let’s just say that was the legal system at work, no question.
Bill Hagerty:
It was not working. It was weaponized.

I have often posted about the bogus attempts to criminalize Trump rather than focus on the issues important to voters. I get the impression that Andrea Mitchell supported that effort to criminalize Trump. They also went after some of Trump's supporters.

Instead of addressing the report directly, Johnson presented a photograph of two controversial Biden administration figures:
Rachel Levine, Assistant Secretary for Health and Human Services, who is transgender, and Sam Brinton, the non-binary former Department of Energy official.
Unfolding a piece of paper with the image in color, Johnson highlighted Brinton, who last year pleaded no contest to theft charges in a high-profile stolen luggage case in Las Vegas.
The photo depicted Brinton and Levine dressed in women’s attire, including pumps, at what appeared to be an official event.
“Here’s my answer to [the Matt Gaetz question],” Johnson said, holding up the photo for reporters.
“Did you harass Democratic senators on those nominees?”
