After Matt Gaetz announced he was removing his name from consideration for Attorney General nomination, President Trump quickly announced his replacement, Pam Bondi, and many are suggesting that was the intention from the start. Did Trump open with the less palatable Gaetz to make it easier to get the more effective Bondi confirmed? After all, Pam Bondi was the former Attorney General for Florida, and she built a reputation as being a highly effective prosecutor.
Trump said of the selection, “I am proud to announce former Attorney General of the Great State of Florida, Pam Bondi, as our next Attorney General of the United States. Pam was a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, where she was very tough on Violent Criminals, and made the streets safe for Florida Families. Then, as Florida’s first female Attorney General, she worked to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs, and reduce the tragedy of Fentanyl Overdose Deaths, which have destroyed many families across our Country.”

Excerpt:
Trump wasn’t caught off-guard by Gaetz’s withdrawal, naming the nominee to replace him just hours later, which Matt covered:
Hours after Matt Gaetz took his name out of consideration for Attorney General, President Trump announced his new pick for the position.
“I am proud to announce former Attorney General of the Great State of Florida, Pam Bondi, as our next Attorney General of the United States,” Trump announced in a post on Truth Social. “Pam was a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, where she was very tough on Violent Criminals, and made the streets safe for Florida Families. Then, as Florida’s first female Attorney General, she worked to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs, and reduce the tragedy of Fentanyl Overdose Deaths, which have destroyed many families across our Country.”
Pam Bondi is an absolutely brilliant choice for attorney general. Her experience as Florida’s AG makes her highly qualified to take over the Department of Justice and get rid of the Merrick Garland Swamp rot that is infesting it. She’s very no-nonsense and knows how to throw a legal punch. The open borders people are already dyspeptic. My Townhall colleague Sarah Arnold laid out why Bondi has the lefties melting down here. This is from her post:
MSNBC is melting down over Pam Bondi as Attorney General:
“We should all fear [her] because she’s competent.”
“She actually knows how to do this job.”
“She knows what she’s doing about immigration.”
“She is a dangerous and effective pick.”

Sarah has some more choice video in the article, including a clip of Bondi taking a shot at Dem beta male Mark Cuban.
Given Pam Bondi’s close personal and professional relationship with Donald Trump, why wasn’t she his first choice? Since we’re having fun with the 4-D chess idea, we have to wonder if the plan always was to eventually have her be the nominee. Perhaps nominating Gaetz first was merely a way to get the Dems so worked up that they’d be more amenable to Bondi once he bowed out.
That’s how this game works, isn’t it?
Again, this is just a lot of spitballin’ here. Like I said at the top, we’re just having some quick fun.
“But Kruiser,” some of you are saying, “why would Gaetz resign from Congress if that was the plan?”
I hear that there will be an open Senate seat in Florida once Trump’s next Secretary of State is confirmed.
Have a great weekend, everyone.
