Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Trump picked him because, according to a report in The Bulwark this year, sourced to Trump insiders -- or, excuse me, this morning -- he was going in there, and he wants to start chopping heads -- though there's an expletive in there that I've cut out for broadcast purposes.
49% : -- so, what I was trying to do when I wrote that piece is to take what Trump and his staff had talked about sort of abstractly and see how it would play out when it applies to one portion of the Justice Department, specifically the Civil Rights Division, which has a very, very large ambit of responsibilities.
43% : And so, what you can see -- excuse me -- what you can see, if this department is twisted to do what Trump wants it to do, is a department that functions in the exact inverse of the way it's supposed to.
35% : One of them was into misuse and mishandling of classified information, sort of very serious abuses, of information that is crucial to America's national security, that Trump appears to have kind of left around at Mar-a-Lago, where it was incredibly vulnerable, and to have hidden from the federal government.
34% : Four years ago, Gaetz sought a preemptive pardon from Trump.
9% : We also discuss the status of various other legal issues swirling around Trump and his supporters, including the Justice Department probes into Trump, the potential pardoning of January 6 insurrectionists and if Trump will abuse the presidential power of recess appointments when he takes office.
