Matt Gaetz as the next Attorney General. In quick order, the “WTF?” texts were upgraded to “AYFKM?” There are almost too many reasons for why the prospect of Gaetz as the nation’s top law enforcement official has stunned a Washington that was already bracing for Trump to make some outside-the-box Cabinet picks.
