House Republicans blocked the release of the Matt Gaetz ethics report

[excalibur]

Why do you object to finding out the TRUTH about a pedophile?
Is it because he is a (R)? No Shit.

Uh, he is not nor has he ever been accused of pedophilia.

Pedophilia is sex with prepubescents. So stop your lies.

 

[meaner gene]

He is no longer in Congress, or the Federal Government, so why would you want it released? What purpose would it serve?

Think about it. If they found Gaetz committed criminal acts that the DOJ doesn't know about?
Remember, congress subpoenaed people the DOJ didn't.

 

[pknopp]

Why didn't the Biden DoJ indict him then?

Incompetent? Worried that things would get released to make them equally guilty?

You don't quit unless you had a reason to.

 

[meaner gene]

If you believe that to be the case then you must also believe Biden's DOJ is corrupt sine Gaetz wasn't charged.

Garland may have been trying to stay out of politics, especially since Gaetz was up for re-election, and any investigation would result in an indictment or a trial in the middle of an election.

 

[Winco]

Uh, he is not nor has he ever been accused of pedophilia.

Pedophilia is sex with prepubescents. So stop your lies.

Well excuse me.
I apolige.

So what do we officially call Gaetz?
For paying for sex and that sex was a woman under 18?

You wanna go with FAKE NEWS?

 

[BluesLegend]

Why do this? If Gaetz has done nothing wrong, one would think he'd have wanted this report released a couple of weeks ago to put everything to rest, but he didn't and ultimately had to withdraw himself from the AG nomination because he didn't have the votes to pass Senate confirmation.

Party of family values.

He already resigned from congress. What do you want him to double resign? I guess Dems just want to SMEAR the guy that's all asshole worthless Democrats do any more, lie and smear. Pathetic.

If he did what he is accused of doing, what do you suggest people do?

 

[BluesLegend]

If he did what he is accused of doing, what do you suggest people do?

Presumption of innocence ring a bell? Due process? CHARGE him or shut the F up about it. If it's not a smear, if he broke the law he should be arrested correct? So what's the justice Dept waiting for?

 

[BluesLegend]

Uh, the guy is no longer in the House; they historically don't release such stuff if a member leaves.

Because...they are no longer around to defend themselves. Plus all they can really do is boot the person out of congress, which the person did voluntarily.

 

[two_iron]

We're not going to dig any deeper on Briben raping his pre-teen daughter in the shower. Right?

And we're still paying that soulless mother ******.

Some things are better left to God to sort out.

But if we're going to feign concern, let's stick with elected officials before civilians.

 

[pknopp]

Presumption of innocence ring a bell?

I asked you if he did, not that he did, but if he did, what should we do?

Due process? CHARGE him or shut the F up about it. If it's not a smear, if he broke the law he should be arrested correct? So what's the justice Dept waiting for?

Hopefully if he did it, someone will step up and arrest it is.

Hopefully if he did it, someone will step up and arrest it is.

If this report was worth the paper it's written on he would have been arrested and charged long ago. Congress refers these things to the DOJ. Since nothing has happened I have to assume this is the SWAMP going after a guy. Let's be clear even the establishment Republicans absolutely hate this guy's guts. They wanted him gone, well he's gone.

Trump’s pick for attorney general ‘showed videos of his sexual partners’ to Congress colleagues

The videos Matt Gaetz is alleged to have shown colleagues were not the sort of thing usually associated with the staid halls of the US Congress.

Trump’s pick for attorney general ‘showed videos of his sexual partners’ to Congress colleagues

In 2021, the House Ethics Committee opened its own investigation into some of the same allegations, as well as accusations Mr Gaetz had misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use, wrongly accepted gifts, and shared inappropriate images or videos.

As you said, congress refers these things to the DOJ.

In this case the DOJ was trying to stay out of poltiics. Msatt Gaetz being such a prominent figure in republican politics. Remember, he was the one who took down the speaker of the house.

 

[westwall]

Gaetz paid for and FUCKED an underaged girl(s).

We pretty much ALL KNOW this.
But we Should BLOCK the evidence from the public? YES???? NO????

This ^^^^ is exactly what is WRONG with Congress.

If he had, he would have been arrested in seconds.
