The case against the DOJ

"Matt Gaetz was nominated for this position because we have a problem with the Department of Justice," she said during a segment of "Special Report" last week. "For the last eight years, they have run roughshod over rule of law in this country. They have prosecuted political opponents. They ran the Russia collusion hoax. And too many people in Washington, D.C. did not stand up against what was happening there, and many Americans are upset about it."
(Mollie) Hemingway continued, "Matt Gaetz is one of the most effective people at fighting that Russia collusion hoax and other information operations, whether it was the Brett Kavanaugh information operation, the Donald Trump Russia collusion hoax information operation, or the one that is referenced here, which is something that the FBI and Department of Justice, which hate Matt Gaetz, looked into and cleared him of any wrongdoing."
"The idea that we're, that this is about the issue is corruption, it's the Department of Justice's corruption," she said.
For all the outrage over his selection, Hemingway accurately pointed out that this election was a referendum against the politicization and weaponized of the Justice Department.
"And people are sick and tired of people in Washington, D.C., doing nothing as these people tried to destroy the country and getting upset at someone who actually might root out the corruption there," she said.
"We don't have a Department of Justice," she added. "We have a Department of Injustice, and that's why you get Matt Gaetz as a nominee."
Hemingway did more than just defend Gaetz; she also explained that Trump’s picks are a reflection of why he won the 2024 election so decisively: voters want real change in Washington.

Following Trump’s decisive election victory, many Justice Department officials and career staffers were already nervous about the possibility that they would be targeted by Trump loyalists, particularly members of Congress. But the selection of former Rep. Matt Gaetz, a firebrand Trump ally who was the subject of a recent FBI investigation, to lead the department has sharply increased the sense of alarm, the sources said.
