Majority Whip Emmer on Matt Gaetz: He is perfect pick; FBI misusing power to spy

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer on Attorney General Nominee Matt Gaetz: “He is the perfect pick for the job.”

Shermichael Singleton: Personally, I have a ton of issues with the FBI that go beyond my politics. I frankly don’t trust it as an agency because of its history of targeting Black leaders and activists. This isn’t even about Trump’s potential nominee to me because some things supersede politics. This is an agency that misused its surveillance authority to spy on activists in the BLM movement, and regardless of your thoughts on BLM as a whole, misusing their power to spy on Americans is egregious, but common for them when targeting certain Americans. So what’s to stop them from spying on you next? Yes, there are good agents, but let’s not pretend it’s a paragon of justice.

Transcript Highlights

The following is transcribed from the video audio:

• Well, let’s remember first, Jay, that the Biden Attorney General, Merrick Garland, used the office to prosecute his political opponents and to go after parents who were peacefully protesting at school board meetings
• Donald Trump ran on a promise to shake up Washington, D
• He’s doing exactly that, and Matt Gaetz is one of the examples
• Right, but there are questions about that your colleagues on the House ethics committee, Republicans and Democrats were looking into and Republicans in the Senate say would like to see that before we confirm him
• Is that an unreasonable request, do you think
• Actually, when you look at what Matt Gaetz has done over the last, I think he spent the last six years on the judiciary committee, which has direct oversight over the Department of Justice and the Attorney General’s office
• I think he’s the perfect pick for this job because, again, you can’t fix what’s broken by taking people from inside what they broke
• You’re going to have to bring people from outside
• You’re going to have to bring change agents
• At the end of the day, Jake, they’re all going to be executing on the Trump agenda, not their agenda
