Well, there is a tiny glimmer of hope; the fact that the MAGAts are so desperate to hide this report tells me that some of them still care about public opinion. When they stop caring about that, it's all over.
Why are journalists merely reporting instead of demanding that the report...the story be released. This is tantamount to the exactly what Nixon did with his tapes, trying to keep them secret. Our taxes paid for it. I want to read it. I have the right to read it. So do you!
No surprise there. Always demanding everything from Dems but any bad news of their own? Bury it. His problem is at least someone in the House Ethics will release it. And the Senate Judiciary have every right to see it.
So the man who told us that he and his son hold each other accountable with phone apps is suddenly not interested in holding a pedophile accountable? By bad. I forgot he also did not hold trump accountable for anything.
Can the Committee publish the report to any state courts that will preserve it, so Trump's DOJ can't destroy it? If the Committtee sends it to the National Archive and it's registered there, can Trump have it removed and destroyed?
What I want to know is, well, what is the hold that Trump has over all these men. Does he have mafia hitmen on the roles threatening them? Does Trump have dirt on all of them?
What is their true end game? To give The Donald absolute power, why would any real man or woman give ultimate power away.
Let me offer some background: He comes from a state where if you are a catholic school teacher in Louisiana, they won't prosecute you for having relations with minor students unless the parents of the victim presses charges because they consider that a domestic/civil matter, not criminal. π€
You would think that a man of such βhigh moral standards and integrityβ would certainly want to be expose a sex trafficking menace to society. Nope. This pious piece of poop is a hypocrite and a disgrace.
Exactly. He has been running cover for an adjudicated rapist, so why not do it for a pedophile? He's a vile little man who pretends to be Christian while endorsing sex offenders.
They want to appoint him AG without releasing his crimes. This admin is already wildly corrupt. And more should be done to stop it. Unfit, criminals everywhere.
Perhaps someone who took an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic will leak it. I would, if I had access. Because as my husband says, I have zero *fish left to give. (It helps that Iβm retiring before 1/20.)
This would be unfortunate but not surprising. If Gaetz had quit his position to go into private life, maybe this would be OK. However, being nominated to head the highest law enforcement office in the country requires scrutiny. This should be available, at least, to the committee approving noms.
If he was simply a Rep who resigned, I would be fine with filing it away forever, but b/c he has been offered the AG job (or if he is indicted) it is absolutely essential to release that report.
Is it possible to encourage your friends in media to do ore aggressive reporting on what the D Senate is doing in these last weeks of the year? It feels like the Dem electorate is out here trying to hold things together. Where are the elected?
You only need half a brain (the rest consumed by worms, perhaps) to see the real reason behind this. But heβll pretend there is some valid argument for its suppression. What was that Orwell thing? The Ministry of Truth?
Itβs a good thing we can't die from metaphorical shock, or a lot of us would be dead a long time ago. The absurdity the Republicans are willing to stoop to seems to get lower and lower.
A dog chases cars, but a dog can't drive. Johnson can ask for the report not to be released, but does he have the power to keep members of the committee from releasing it?
P.S. So happy to follow Joyce Vance here in the good place.
Classic ... do as I say ... not as I do. Democrats would have been never allowed to do that. Would have been Jim Jordan and company immediate hearings. Smh
I bet Johnson saw the report and the pictures Gaetz has been showing around and had to report it to his son that he was unable to resist the temptation to porn.
Let's NOT forget that Gaetz ONLY resigned from THIS congress. He just got reelected so if he doesn't get approved by the senate he'll be sworn into congress again in January! So hiding it doesn't hold water!
Gatez canβt get confirmed w/o recess appointments. Recess happens w/ Johnson & Trump forcing one. Johnson hiding Gaetz report means Johnson will do Trumpβs bidding. Recess appointments coming.
Is sexual abuse no longer a problem here in America? We elect a practitioner. The Leader of the House - the very face of Christian nationalism - begs us to look the other way on Gaetz. Raped women face greater penalties for abortion than their perpetrators. Whatβs next?

No moral courage.

Hypocrisy is a terrible thing to waste.

Crap.

Donβt tell me it could be worse than this.
The Republican Party, my friends
What a Christian fellow.
I put nothing past these people.
Nothing.
