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

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.


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.
Turned out to be a he said she said type of thing. They can't prove he did it or not. You know like Ashley Biden with her father.
 

Woman told House Ethics Committee she saw Gaetz have sex with minor, her lawyer says


A woman told the House Ethics Committee that she saw Matt Gaetz, who is President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for the U.S. attorney general, have sex with a minor, her lawyer said Friday.

“My client testified to the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed Rep. Gaetz having sex with a minor at a house party in Orlando in 2017,” Joel Leppard said.

Gaetz, a far-right Republican U.S. representative, resigned from Congress on Wednesday after Trump announced plans to nominate him for attorney general, has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct.

Leppard said the woman he represents testified before the House Ethics Committee in April.

He said he represents two witnesses who have provided testimony to the committee regarding Gaetz.

“The American people deserve to know the truth about the person slated to become the top law enforcement officer in the country” Leppard told NBC News.


Don't we deserve the know the truth?

Another anonymous piece of shit being paid to perjure herself in front of an ethics committee, while she gets to remain anonymous to the public. If she's telling the truth, let's see and hear her testimony and know who she is and what her background is. If you're going to alter something as important as someone's nomination to US Attorney General, then you damn well better be prepared to show your face and allow the public to hear your words and judge for themselves. Especially someone that supposedly watched two other people have sex. :rolleyes:
 
Biden's DOJ investigated these allegations for years and cleared Gaetz.
Cleared is a loaded word. The better terminology would be to say the investigation did not reveal enough evidence to charge him with a crime. Or perhaps this was another of Garland's attempts not to be seen as politicizing the DoJ as he did by not pursuing an investigation in to trump's involvement in the plot to steal the election for over a year.

At the least we know Matt is of low moral character.


No DoJ employee could possibly have any respect for him. Then there's the complete lack of experience with prosecuting crimes. Committing them yes, not prosecuting them.
 
Turned out to be a he said she said type of thing. They can't prove he did it or not. You know like Ashley Biden with her father.
The latter matter not being he said/she said but rather a RWM distortion becoming a smear campaign.
 
She was paid to perjure herself? Your evidence?

I want to see and hear the testimony straight out of her mouth, why is she hiding? And why was she watching people having sex?

LOL So in your world, once an accusation has been made, you can never be cleared. Wow.

She's not. She was called to testify in front of the House ethics committee as to what she saw and did so.

A woman told the House Ethics Committee that she saw former Florida congressman and Donald Trump’s choice for U.S. attorney general Matt Gaetz “having sex with a minor” at a party in 2017, her lawyer said.

The woman’s attorney, Joel Leppard, said the woman testified to the House committee in April 2024, according to NBC News. “My client testified to the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed Rep. Gaetz having sex with a minor at a house party in Orlando in 2017,” Leppard said.

Didn't say that. Do you put words in other people's mouths to try to win an argument often?
 
Trump is not interested in the rule of law. He has defied it, and a corrupt Supreme Court has now placed him above it.

Trump nominated Gaetz because he knew it would trigger his no nothing base. The crowd that prefers clowns and clown shows, and generally gets off on the antics of their favorite sleeze bag characters.

Politics as a reality tV show, and with just about the same substance.

But it did give Gaetz an excuse to resign in front of the release of the report, conveniently removing himself from having to face the results of the investigations.

And, of course, Trump’s lickspittle House leader want to cover it up.

Trump won’t nominate a “real candidate”.

But he will get a yes man, another right wing trash media clown.
The only violators of the rule of law are the Democrats, idiot.

The Supreme Court is as above board as it has ever been and is finally following the Constitution and its role in our government.

The fact that they don't rule as you would like just makes you pathetic.
 
Didn't say that. Do you put words in other people's mouths to try to win an argument often?
You said I can't use the word, meaning they can never be cleared.

Although Webster says you're full of shit.

8. to free from a charge of wrongdoing
she had once been accused of embezzlement, but an investigation by the bank cleared her
 
She's not. She was called to testify in front of the House ethics committee as to what she saw and did so.

That makes no sense at all.

1. How and why was she watching?

2. How did she know it was a minor?

3. Why did she wait YEARS to report it?

Smells like just another leftard smear campaign.

You know, per tapes and all that.
 
Are you unaware of the sex accusations made against Gaetz?

You claim these are lies. I asked you to back up your claim.

But we both know you can’t. Which is why you’re dancing around.

What's new under the sun in relation to the left wing media? Nothing, progressive my ass (same ole same ole.....Trump is a NAZI, RACIST, MASOGYIST).......same game plan that lost them the election, the main term here is allegation. WE THE PEOPLE ARE AS DUMB AS DIRT and WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING THE LEFT WING MEDIA COMMANDS US TO BELIEVE......that dog and phony show no longer works. Want the truth? Go to the net and simply do a little research.......the left hates independent critical thinking and reasoning.

Allegation: A statement of accusation the you are prepaid to prove in a court of law.........which was attempted and dismissed all dating back to Oct. 2017. Consider the source......the left once attempted to discredit Stephen Miller by looking up a person that went to school with Miller. Charging him with EATING paste in kindergarten. LMAO

Logical and Reasonable conclusion: "IF" there was any validity to the ALLEGATION..........the left would have had Gaetz's head on a pike 7 years ago. There was not even any CHARGES FILED......might less proven.

The media is doing nothing but stirring the crap they have tossed into the pot. 47 is playing 3d chess while the left plays checkers. Any way this turns out it will benefit 47.......it will point out the real enemies within his own camp......day 1 instead of it taking 2 years of back stabbing like 2016. If the nomination goes through.......its a cherry on top.
:stir:

He knows there is Dirt on 21 GOP Congress Critters that would lead to investigations and censures / oustings ( but at least 50 Democommie Congress Critters have Bigfoot sized skeletons in their closets too )
