There's nothing in the report to release…you literally have testimony that was orchestrated by some dude in prison who is in prison for orchestrating false testimony…

Yes but our resident DeSantis bros really want to hate on team Trump so better this then some silly Twitter spat that isn't noteworthy.
Need a lawyer who is bold, smart and loyal to Trump. Gaetz fills the bill.
Doesn't matter. If it's not leaked before his confirmation hearings, I'll eat my shirt.dmart90 said:
https://www.wsj.com/politics/ethics-committee-meets-to-consider-releasing-matt-gaetz-report-4632931b?mod=hp_lead_pos1THIS is the uniparty in action - as a group these congress critters are protecting themselves. They don't want us, they people they serve, to know what goes on behind closed doors.Quote:
WASHINGTONThe bipartisan House panel probing sexual-misconduct allegations against former Rep. Matt Gaetz declined Wednesday to release its report on President-elect Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, setting the stage for an effort by Democrats to force a vote on the matter.
"There was no agreement by the committee to release the report," said Rep. Michael Guest (R., Miss.), the chairman of the secretive panel, after a two-hour meeting. Other members of the panel left the meeting without talking to reporters.
This should piss you off - regardless who you support.
I have to ask. Would you consider Merrick Garland ethical in the way he has executed the position of AG?HTownAg98 said:Mr. Fingerbottom said:HTownAg98 said:
Can't tell is this is satire or trolling.
You think open borders to facilitate sex slave trade, drug trade, & commerce of violent criminals is ethical?
You think stealing money from Americans to run it through a war machine money launderer is ethical?
You think men in the bathroom w little girls is ethical?
I could keep going but the point will probably never make it through to you.....
Irrelevant. We can have a separate debate if these policies are moral or ethical (in my opinion, they aren't). This discussion is more about if the people that are going to be in charge will be ethical. You'd have to be damn fool if you think that's the case.
The Biden DOJ -- not the Trump DOJ: the Biden DOJ -- intensively investigated possible crimes by Matt Gaetz. After 18 months of leaking to destroy his reputation in the press, the Biden DOJ decided they couldn't even charge him, and closed the case.

Somehow this doesn't matter: https://t.co/aPP15dlm1Q
You have this wrong. Completely wrong.
Think about who wants or doesn't want the report public?

Merrick Garland's DOJ. The same one that has imprisoned a lot of Trump's inner circle. Did not even have enough evidence to indict Gaetz.
And you can indict a ham sandwich.
There is nothing to the case against Gaetz or he would've been put through the justice system which has shown to be a punishment by itself (see Flynn).
And I agree with MTG. If this internal ethics report goes public, we need to see the taxpayer funded sexual slush fund payment list at the very least.

Complete HORSE MANURE!

This is fine.
Release all reports for current and former members of Congress. Be consistent for once.

And while they are at it, drug test all elected officials and release the results for public viewing.
Covidians, Communists, CNN, FOX, and all other MSM are enemies of the state and should be treated as such.

Agree.
Also this feels like a decision made (by House Republicans too) to flip the news cycle and avoid more criticism of the spending bill
WRONG. It is not "fine." It goes against the standard practice. It is a smear job against someone that resigned from Congress.HoldMyBeer said:

That is not going to happen. Please tell me you understand that!Quote:

Depending on what the report really demonstrates (not "claims") Gaetz was a fool to resign. The Bill Clinton effect shows his voters might have overlooked whatever it was in return for keeping him going. From such a position, he might be able to influence some of the CR nonsense fulfilling his warnings even now.
"Standard practice" is what protects the Deep State
It shouldn't be a problem since there is nothing worth being concerned about in the report.
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.
Oh, bet you are right. It would explain why for such a "done deal" - with Gaetz out of the picture on so many levels now, they are doing this.Bunk Moreland said:HoldMyBeer said:

And Gaetz is already suing the House asking for a Court to not allow them to release it. (This suit will go nowhere)

No wonder Gaetz tried to keep this from getting released.

I don't know what the guy did or didn't do, but I know what democrats and their lackeys do to truth.

The gloves should be off now. Republicans should release all committee dirt they have on democrats.
What's wild is the number of women involved, and Gaetz left a paper trail of the whole thing.Anonymous Source said:What's a little statutory rape among friends, amirite?Ghost of Andrew Eaton said:

Holding my breath for FL to even open up a criminal investigation.
Seriously, everyone already knew all of this. Isn't his close friend already in prison for this and he said Gaetz was alongside him the whole time?

Filing a lawsuit seeking a prior restraint against Congress on publishing it is next level, tho

Hammer the Ds? Let's quit the partisan crap and hammer all of them. This is about law and order and upholding a high standard for those in public office. Absolute trash on all sides.
There is no high standard and has not been for at least 60 years. But I agree: publish every single congressional payout. Americans deserve to know.Dill-Ag13 said:agAngeldad said:This should be the year to hammer the D on all their crap....Ellis Wyatt said:
