“The problem with the Justice Department is besides being pretty corrupt in terms of their use of lawfare, which I find disgusting, they’re dangerous.
“I mean, they carry subpoenas, badges, and guns! And they also, you know, they have a means of spying on all of us if they need to. Now, that doesn’t mean they’re all bad apples.
“But there’s no question the consequence of a corrupt Justice Department that, frankly, needs a housecleaning. But I would add one other thing to all of this, Larry, and that is the American people want that. They’re afraid of their government.
“And the Justice Department needs to be the people that we’re least afraid of, not the people we’re most afraid of.” – GOP Sen. Kevin Cramer, in a Fox appearance alongside Sen. Ron Johnson to boost the nomination of Matt Gaetz.
On Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that as many as 30 Senate Republicans privately oppose Gaetz’s nomination.
