Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy predicted that President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Matt Gaetz to be attorney general would be rejected by the Republican Senate next year.
He resigned from Congress because the ethics investigation was about to finish. This might have all been a ploy to manufacture a reason for Gaetz to leave early, and then the report gets squashed.
Or they have some kind of quid pro quo. Or someone has dirt on someone. Or they both explicitly know that each are very willing to do crimes for each other
This is extremely funny given that he just resigned from Congress effective immediately.

Then, if the Senate does not confirm the nomination, it gives Trump more grievances to air.
No source, sorry, but I heard a clip of a senator stating they should subpoena the report as relevant to the confirmation process.
