Adam Schiff: A President Who Cared Would Want to Ensure His Nominees Were Not Sex Traffickers

Brett T. | 7:30 PM on November 16, 2024

President-elect Donald Trump made a lot of liberal heads explode by nominating Matt Gaetz to be his attorney general and Tulsi Gabbard to head national intelligence. There was an investigation into claims that Gaetz had had sex with a 17-year-old, and there was bipartisan support to have the report released. Keep in mind that Gaetz was investigated but never charged.

Look, if Rep. Matt Gaetz wants to serve as the highest law enforcement officer in the land, we need to vet him — that’s my job as Senator.

And that includes seeing this House Ethics report on him.

Adam Schiff, who has no skeletons in his closet, thinks that a president who cared about his country would want to know if his nominees were child sex traffickers or "fond of dictators."

Trump wants to avoid FBI background checks for the likes of Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard?

A president who cared about the country would want to make sure their nominees were not child sex traffickers or fond of dictators.

But it’s never been America first. Only Trump first.

The FBI colluded with you to frame Trump. So yeah, he isn’t using the FBI for background checks.

You’re the guy who colluded with the FBI to frame Trump the first time right?

The FBI should be labeled as a domestic terror organization.

You know this, which is why you’re on their side.

If you think “America first” is even remotely synonymous with “trust the FBI”, then you’re the problem, not the solution.

And you are the problem.

Adam Schiff can cry all he wants.

America rejected the Democrat Party this election in dramatic fashion.

The “background checks” were the elections.

Trump gets to appoint whoever he wants and get them confirmed fast.

If he needs to use recess appointments we’re fine with it.

The FBI needs to be completely reformed, preferably taken apart.

What are you going to do Adam if you don’t have the FBI to run cover for you anymore?
