Contributing sentiments towards policy:

27% : Gaetz, a fierce defender of Trump and critic of the Justice Department, now finds himself poised to lead the very agency that investigated him for allegedly sex trafficking a minor -- an investigation that ended without charges but will loom large over his political future.
23% : Trump, who has repeatedly cast himself as a victim of politically motivated prosecutions, has promised to use the Justice Department to target those he sees as political adversaries.
9% : In a statement announcing Gaetz's nomination, Trump emphasized that Gaetz would root out "systemic corruption" within the Justice Department and return it to its "true mission of fighting crime and upholding our democracy."
