Matt Gaetz's campaign for attorney general has visibly intimidated federal law enforcement, achieving the desired result of uncertainty among Justice Department officials and FBI agents alike.
Gaetz has positioned himself as an avenger of Trump’s legacy, promising to dismantle the current Justice Department, which he accuses of political bias against the former president.
The selection of Gaetz sends a clear signal to career officials within the FBI and Justice Department: conform to the political agenda or face serious repercussions.
The anxiety within the federal law enforcement community is reminiscent of the tumult following Trump’s firing of FBI director James Comey, exacerbating concerns about independence.
