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.
reread your link he is not now has ever been accused of filming anything or taking pictures.
 
wrong the report is based on unreliable testimony by liars and con men.

It is a House ethics report with the House being led by Republicans so..................................


the FBI said they were untrustworthy and did not believe them, leave it to the democrats to muddy the water with that crap.

House ethics report with the House being led by Republicans.
 
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.

It would set a precedent

Nov 14, 2024 · A CNN report alleged in 2021 that Gaetz had proudly showed images and clips of naked women he’d been sleeping with to aides and lawmakers while in the U.S. Capitol and on..........


Gaetz, 42, is among the most controversial lawmakers in Congress, having been accused of a number of controversies; including showing photos of naked women on the House floor and an investigation into potential sex trafficking.

Back in 2017, the freshman congressman Gaetz wasn’t a national name yet. Still, he turned heads across the country after he was the lone “no” vote on an anti-human trafficking bill that easily passed both the House and Senate.

Gaetz explained—from a Facebook Live in his living room—that he voted no because he felt the bill, the Combating Human Trafficking in Commercial Vehicles Act, would represent “mission creep” at the federal level.

Looked into criminal allegations which FBI did and didn't find anything.

What's your point?
 
They would just make up some other bullshit to spread; they're nasty little gimps.
For sure but we don't have to help them. For all we know, the report does not show any crime but could be embarrassing to him or others named in the report or be a complete nothing burger. But for sure there is no crime there for which Congress or the DOJ has jurisdiction and any matter of character no longer applies. There is no justifiable reason to release the report.

so only they need to break rules? Go read the DOJ report, it's available.
 
Biden's DOJ that actually manufactures crimes to charge their political opponents found insufficient evidence to charge him.

What crimes against Gaetz were manufactured?
He is now out of government and not up for any appointment.
Correct. Because of this report he didn't want released.

There is no reason to provide more fodder to trash him and/or any incidental persons named in that report other than to satisfy the most prurient curiosity of meanspirited people to use. This now falls into the category of mind your own business.
Why are you defending a man who slept with underage women?

Why are you defending a man who slept with underage women?
I didn't say any crimes against Gaetz were manufactured. Gaetz is now a private citizen and is not intending to return to Congress. He is not up for any government appointment. I am not defending anything he has done or might do. I am defending his right to privacy as a private citizen and opposing weaponization of government to hurt a private citizen for no other reason than people like you have a prurient curiosity about them. Even a weaponized FBI did not release the information they had re Gaetz.

I don't even like Gaetz as a person all that much and he was the one Trump appointment that I had the most qualms about. I was happy that he removed himself from the equation.

But if Biden's DOJ found insufficient evidence to charge him, and they did find insufficient evidence to charge him, Gaetz is entitled to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, And there is absolutely no justification to release personal information about him, information totally unrelated to his job in Congress, for no other reason than to satisfy your curiosity.

I would defend a Democrat's right to privacy under similar circumstances as well.

They have the sworn deposition from a (then) 17 year old girl , that Gaetz had sex with. And from other witnesses at the orgy.

DOJ doesn't have those depositions. But if the report is released, the DOJ will be able to get them.

If he did what is being reported he has NO right to privacy over that.
