1. That's a good news although Dump will pick another creep for the post.

2. Of course that was my first thought, too.

There are plenty of creeps who are "loyal" to TFG for him to choose from and, unlike "normal" presidents, obviously those facing ethics violations or legal charges have not deterred TFG from choosing nominees for top government posts.

CNN drops bombshell news that Matt Gaetz withdrew as Attorney General just 45 minutes after they called to ask him about a SECOND alleged sexual encounter with the minor.

This just got so much worse...

The woman who claims that she had sex with Gaetz when she was still a minor reportedly told the House Ethics Committee that she had two sexual encounters with him at a party in 2017.

This second encounter had not been previously reported and allegedly including another adult woman. Both allegations appear in a civil deposition related to a lawsuit tied to the allegations.

It appears that Gaetz realized this revelation would sink his nomination completely and chose to withdraw to get ahead of the story.

His sudden panicked decision raises an obvious question: Is there more sexual misconduct he hopes to keep hidden?
