This is the reason why some Republicans despise Matt Gaetz.

[justoffal]

I have not heard him demand the report be released, to clear his good name? Sounds like he doesn't care.

Sounds like he knows it will expose others who don't want to be exposed. I'm guessing there's some real GOP dirt being swept under the rug good and hard.

Republicans aren’t push anything. The speaker just said there was no need for any report and the committee made a statement months ago saying no further action was needed

Committee Members​

Republicans​

Chairman Michael Guest, Mississippi
David P. Joyce, Ohio
John H. Rutherford, Florida
Andrew R. Garbarino, New York

The House Ethics Committee first began its investigation into allegations of misconduct against Gaetz in April 2021, but deferred its consideration in response to a request from the Justice Department. It resumed its investigation in May 2023 after federal investigators declined to charge Gaetz following their sex-trafficking and obstruction probe.

As usual you are lying to protect massa Trump's pick.

Is it as bad as two naked Democrats screwing each other on the Senate floor?

Worse. Note that steps were taken in the incident to which you refer.

If Biden's corrupt and militarized DOJ couldn't come up with a case against Gaeta, it is quite reasonable to believe there is no case against Gaeta. And it tried.

Two witnesses corroborate.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Takes til what? Your party gets what it wants? That’s the definition of a political witch hunt

You're damn right it is...

It's beginning to smell bad....if Gaetz knows where the bodies are buried it doesn't matter how many witnesses there are. They will be silenced.

Definitely a possibility. Either way, It'll be fun to watch for me.

"Despise" is a strong word and usually attributed to the radical left. The few republicans who aren't Gaetz supporters don't despise him. They are timid bureaucrats who only care about votes. .

That's 'media', where did the 'media' get their info?

You don't know that. It again could very well be--in fact probably is the case--that he doesn't want to compromise the privacy of others who are named in the report and spare them being harassed by the media and everything else that goes with that kind of publicity.

What am I lying about? And what does trump have to do with it?

I count five Republicans and five dems

 

[Rawley]

No, no, no.

Yes yes yes. you called us supporters of pedophilia - "I thought it was the pedo thing, but maybe you are correct and Republicans don't mind that sort of thing"

You keep telling the lie that they ended their investigation when I have shown your dumbass that they RESUMED it after the FBI didn't charge the pervert.

I'm always honest.

Something you need to try for a change.

I just watched the lawyer, saying what his clients testified to, on an ABC YouTube clip. If you don't like the printed word, I am pretty sure, I can find the video. Personally, I like the printed word.

Privacy is kind of shot with the lawyer for the two sex workers, appearing on ABC. But who knows. It is a Republican written report, so it could very easily clear him of any Ethical fault. This is 2024. Moral and ethical standards aren't what they used to be. Besides. It could all be academic, after January, as a Senate Recess can be ordered, and the whole thing of asking questions and qualifications done away with, as has been suggested. Or are you thinking Thune could have some clinging notion of Congress as a co-equal branch, not under control of the White House?
