Gaetz’s withdrawal for Trump’s choice as attorney-general is a reminder that, even in a hostile takeover, some of Washington’s bygone ways persist
as Donald Trump ’s choice to be attorney-general is a stunning but telling capitulation to the established ways of the American capital – customs the president-elect seems determined to obliterate.
It is a sharp reminder to Mr. Trump and his team that defeating Kamala Harris in the presidential campaign did not repeal some of the traditions and customs of Washington, where even during a hostile takeover some elements of the bygone ways persist. Irwin Cotler, who served as Canada’s attorney-general under Paul Martin from 2003 to 2006, said in an e-mail that the position is designed to provide independent legal advice and counsel. The role, he said, “includes also providing the best independent expertise in protecting the rule of law, the administration of justice, and the independence of the judiciary.
Republican senators have seemed less troubled by the Hegseth nomination than about the Gaetz choice, but the Iraq war veteran faces a difficult confirmation hearing that almost certainly will include mortifying, lurid testimony.
