TL;DR Summary

Donald Trump's selection of Matt Gaetz as Attorney General has sparked concerns about potential abuses of power and political retribution against Trump's foes. Critics, including former DOJ officials, worry that Gaetz's appointment could undermine the independence of the Justice Department and lead to a focus on Trump's revenge agenda. The move has raised alarms due to Gaetz's controversial background and the potential for Trump to exploit legal immunity granted by a recent Supreme Court ruling. Concerns also extend to possible pardons for January 6 insurrectionists.
