House Panel Will Release Gaetz Report

Wednesday, December 18, 2024

After a secret vote earlier this month, the House Ethics Committee decided to reverse course and publicly release its report on accusations of sex trafficking and other alleged misconduct by former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), according to CNN and Fox News. The report will reportedly be released after the final day of House votes this term -- meaning it could come out as soon as Thursday.

Never count out the GQP ability to do the right thing when it no longer matters.

So they were going to release it until fivehead retired to become AG, then the story changed to "well he is a private citizen" like that actually mattered when they were busy dragging Hunter (another private citizen) and only once he was no longer an asset for dotard do they reverse course yet again to release the report.

I suggest that we be as gracious and fair to Gaetz as he has been to everyone else.

In other words, the man deserves nothing.

Calling this doxxing is ridiculous.

He was investigated by government officials spending tax dollars. We're entitled to see the report.

He's a private citizen. I suppose this is acceptable now that we know that the Biden administration paid investigative "journalists" to investigate Republicans. For journalism.

Stop the presses! A young straight man has a thing for young straight women. That demands a full taxpayer funded investigation by congress. Meanwhile, Giselle Maxwell sits in prison and the reason she's there hasn't been released. Matt Gaetz refused to play the D.C. game. Now, he's lost his job and is being penalized. The powers that be remain undefeated.

I'll wager the report will be redacted and will appear like a freshly washed blackboard, except for 1-2 participles per page. And yet, the guy was re-elected by the voters in his district...

He's a private citizen.

So what? Congressional committees investigate private citizens and former government officials all the time. The only thing Gaetz ended by quitting was the ongoing investigation of his actions by the House, because it was deciding what to do with him as a House member.

Trumpers will be investigating private citizens for the next four years and you'll cheer them on.

Gaetz appears to be trying to get out front of this by admitting, sort of, that he engaged prostitutes.

If they release the report, it's proof Gaetz made more enemies than friends while he was in Congress.

The only poster that has a "sick mind" is the one that percieves of child abuse when none has been proven.

"In my single days, I often sent funds to women I dated"even some I never dated but who asked. I dated several of these women for years. I NEVER had sexual contact with someone under 18. Any claim that I have would be destroyed in court"which is why no such claim was ever made in court," Gaetz wrote. "It's embarrassing, though not criminal, that I probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have earlier in life. I live a different life now."

Just because you don't like someone is no reason to project perversions on that person.

Meanwhile, Epstein's evidence still sits in a vault.

If that is important to you, then start a thread about it, with a link.

If I may dare to interject here ...

You do not seem to have any manner of history for providing data and evidence for the assertions you proffer.

All you seem to be doing lately is railing against those who disagree with you.

Why all the apparent anger?

Maybe take a step back ...
