Gaetz resigned days before possible release of 'highly damaging' ethics probe: report
Donald Trump’s selection of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to be the country's next attorney general prompted his resignation from Congress, but according to reports, the possible release of a House Ethics Committee investigative report may have also played a role in his stepping down.Gaetz, a MAGA enthusia...
If something needs to be leaked to the likes of WikiLeaks, this is it.
Only to become appointed AG
Will the info in the investigation ever come out? That could damage his chances of being confirmed as AG?
The ethics committee geneally doesn't release investigations that don't result in action.
They have the ability to but are also exempt from foia requests. Call whoever is closest to the investigation in your house reps and demand it. They've been released them in the past after social pressure.

Was it because of the kid-fucking, Matt? I bet it was about the kid-fucking.
He's my congressman, and I'll be the very last to defend him, but a 17-yo is hardly a "kid". So stop the bullshit. There's plenty to nail him to the wall without lying.
“engaged in sexual misconduct and/or illicit drug use, shared inappropriate images or videos on the House floor, misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use, and/or accepted a bribe, improper gratuity, or impermissible gift,”
Well ackshually 🤓
We found the republican pedo.
You seem to know a lot about him to forget it wasn't just about having sex with a minor, he was being investigated for sex trafficking a minor across state lines - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/matt-gaetz-s-ex-girlfriend-testifies-grand-jury-sex-trafficking-n1287352
That's really going out of a limb for the worst reason. I can't believe I have to say that if someone in their late thirties has sex with a 17 year old, that's gross on multiple levels and summing it up as fucking a kid is highly appropriate
Gaetz: "Imma dip"
US checks and balances: "well, we tried"
It would be a shame if the Ethic Committee report got leaked somehow. A real shame....
I didn't catch that butt head was gone.
Oh he's very much not gone yet...
The publication reported that the House Ethics Committee loses jurisdiction over a former member once they leave Congress.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.
