John Bolton: Gaetz Could Cause Problems in the DoJ ‘It Could Take Decades To Repair’
EXCERPT:
BOLTON: "Well, I don't particularly care about Elon Musk's opinion. He has no notion what the qualifications for attorney general are, and I think somebody with Matt Gaetz's characters is a person that I'm surprised anybody wants to associate with. Look, Musk may have a big role here. It's not entirely clear what Trump is going to do with this Department of Government Efficiency. If we can save a couple hundred billion dollars, I'd be delighted. We can spend it on the defense budget, which desperately needs an increase. In the meantime, I do believe that a sufficient number of Republican senators would say they will not abandon the separation of powers. They will see Gaetz as the threat that he is to the kind of professional Justice Department we want. If the complaint from Trump is the Department of Justice has been politicized by the Biden administration, then the remedy is depoliticize it. Matt Gaetz is exactly the opposite of that. He will make it worse. and I think it caused problems in the department that could take decades to repair."
