Fox News contributor and editor-in-chief of The Federalist, Mollie Hemingway appeared on “Special Report” Friday and explained that in her view, Trump’s pick of former (recently-resigned) Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida was a brilliant move by the president-elect to show that he’s determined to change the way things operate in the Swamp.
She reminded viewers and the other panelists that Gaetz was a tireless fighter against the Russia collusion nonsense:
Matt Gaetz was nominated for this position because we have a problem with the Department of Justice. 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.
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.
