President-Elect Donald Trump has selected Florida congressman Matt Gaetz as his Attorney General.

Oddsmakers at BetOnline released odds on potential Trump cabinet picks.  Gaetz did not even make the list.

“Everybody was saying, Oh my God,” said Republican Rep. Mike Simpson of Idaho.

The GOP lawmakers first thought it was a joke, but then saw the reports that it was true.

“That was about as big a surprise as I’ve had in a long time,” Simpson told AP.

“I have a really hard time believing he could get through the Senate confirmation process,” he said. Then added, “You never know.”

It was unclear if Gaetz was in the meeting.

Trump announced Wednesday that former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard would serve as his director of national intelligence.

She also did not appear among the odds.

“For over two decades, Tulsi has fought for our Country and the Freedoms of all Americans. As a former Candidate for the Democrat Presidential Nomination, she has broad support in both Parties – She is now a proud Republican! I know Tulsi will bring the fearless spirit that has defined her illustrious career to our Intelligence Community, championing our Constitutional Rights, and securing Peace through Strength. Tulsi will make us all proud!” Trump wrote in a statement.
