https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/22/matt-gaetz-trump-impeachment-team-102534<snip>
Rep. Matt Gaetz, one of President Donald Trumps staunchest allies on Capitol Hill, suspects a senior White House aide pushed to keep him off the presidents impeachment defense team weeks after the Florida Republican voted to rein in Trumps war powers.
Gaetz (R-Fla.) was in the mix to become one of Trumps impeachment advisers, a group of House Republicans who are expected to assist the White House with messaging and strategy throughout the Senate impeachment trial. But Gaetz a conservative firebrand who caught Trumps eye through his feisty appearances and memorable sound bites on cable news did not make the final list, which comprises eight other House Republicans.

You are all in with tRump until he decides you are not. It can be something you said, did or did not do. If he perceives that you are not 100% in his corner, you are done. Finito. O.U.T. It is a lesson learned the hard way. Usually understood best when youre tossed unceremoniously under the big bus.
Spot on.

get out until there is a very disgusting job to be done, and no one else will do it. Then, redemption appears within grasp.
