House Speaker Doesn’t Want Gaetz Ethics Report Released.....cuz.........of course.

[berg80]

Speaker Mike Johnson said on Friday that he would “strongly” discourage the release of a damaging bipartisan investigative report on the conduct of former Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida, whom President-elect Donald J. Trump said would be his attorney general nominee.

The House Ethics Committee had planned a vote on releasing the results of its yearslong investigation of Mr. Gaetz over allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, but the panel’s proceedings were halted by his resignation from Congress after being put forward on Wednesday for the country’s top law-enforcement job. Senators in both parties then demanded to see the report.

Trump Transition Updates: House Speaker Doesn’t Want Gaetz Ethics Report Released

Senators from both parties have sought to see the results of the yearslong inquiry into allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use against Trump’s pick to be attorney general. Trump chose Karoline Leavitt, 27, to be his White House press secretary. She will be the youngest ever to do...

Johnson is going to want to stuff it down the memory hole as quickly as possible. After all, the thought of the AG doing a 17 year old is suboptimal. Maybe drugs were involved? Uh oh.

Sen. Cornyn (R) says he wants to see it as part of what could be an ill fated confirmation process. Maybe to give him cover to vote against confirmation. If he doesn't get to see the report he will get to see the routine FBI background check performed on all nominees.

Personally, I think it's going to get leaked.

Republican senators are warning that former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-Fla.) nomination to serve as President-elect Trump’s attorney general is in serious trouble, even though Republicans will control 53 seats in the upper chamber next year.

Gaetz will get a chance to make his case for why he should lead the Justice Department, but Republican senators warn he faces an “uphill” path to confirmation.

In addition, Republican senators are supporting the call made Thursday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) for the House Ethics Committee to release the findings of its investigation of Gaetz for alleged sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.

It's just politics, as usual.

If he had actually done anything wrong, there would have been charges brought.

This is just more of Congress protecting its own. How many Democrats are hiding their involvement in sexual criminal charges?

There is a whole department dedicated to paying their legal fees and hiding their actions.

This is the only guy Trump could come up with for AG? Really?

It's like a freakin' April Fools joke.

I actually have a theory.

Gaetz isn't his real pick, but a delaying tactic.

No one seriously think that he'll be confirmed, but the process will likely take months. That will give Trump time to get a real candidate, one that will actually uphold the law and tell the left, when they complain, to STFUASD.

Shut The Fuck Up And Sit Down.

Right, because every person who has ever broken the law is criminally prosecuted. Obviously.

What kind of clown are you?

If its a Democrat, it never sees the light of day.

If you are a Republican, it is blasted every 40 minutes on the media until the DOJ actually brings charges.

You know there was less than nothing if Biden's hyperpartisan DOJ investigated him for years and didn't bring charges.

If you don't want the media to pay attention to corrupt, criminal politicians, stop promoting them.

You guys want this crap.
