Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Matt Gaetz sees 'brush back' in being kept off Trump's impeachment team

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/22/matt-gaetz-trump-impeachment-team-102534
<snip>
Rep. Matt Gaetz, one of President Donald Trump’s staunchest allies on Capitol Hill, suspects a senior White House aide pushed to keep him off the president’s impeachment defense team — weeks after the Florida Republican voted to rein in Trump’s war powers.

Gaetz (R-Fla.) was in the mix to become one of Trump’s 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 Trump’s 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 you’re tossed unceremoniously under the big bus.

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