So shocking that the Republicans don't support transparency, not even about pedophilia and rape. That's what the Republican party is, and all Republican voters have voted in support of it.
Can we have some hard hitting journalism here. What is it hiding if they wont let us read it. Maybe let's tell people to act and write the ethics committee to realise the document if they want to know.
You mean the GOP does not want their esteemed party member, who has risen to prominence, to be able to proclaim his innocence through documented proof 🤷
Ask why. What is being hidden? Trafficking ? Pedophilia? Other illegal acts. We have a felon for president, why not a could-be felon for Attorney General. How delightful.
Very Christian of you Mike Johnson. Protect a sex offender for political gain. I'm not a Biblical scholar but I'm pretty sure Christ didn't advocate that anywhere
If the Senate is going to evaluate DonOld’s pick for AG, shouldn’t the Senators be able to review the ethics report, even if it is only an almost final draft?
You can add your voice... urge your representatives to read the report into the Congressional Record or to leak to the press. You can call direct( I did!) @ 202-225-7103. The American people deserve to know what is in that report!
We all know Gaetz is a pedophile and they know we know so why withhold the actual report? Protecting a known pedophile is everything we knew they were!
No way. Who coulda seen this coming? Dems, you don't have to listen to this. Certainly you have objected to multiple congressmen ignoring subpoenas in the past and look where it got you.
Democrat Senators and house members need to raise this issue over and over and over again at every opportunity. It's time to use the Republican approach against them.
Trump's decision to nominate Gaetz, Hesgeth, and Gabbard is an assembly a wrecking crew to break these departments and usurp the authority they once had. Trump assumes that Senate Republicans don't have the guts to stand up to him, and he has good reasons to believe that.
If the report is so bad that they won’t release it-that tells us that it has information that disqualifies Gaetz. That’s all we need to know. The rest is just nasty details.
So, the Speaker of the House doesn’t want you to see the report from his own legislative body that the nominee for Attorney General was involved in sex trafficking a teenage girl, because fascist politics requires he show that he’s as depraved as the incoming president.
It's a common belief among reasonable, common-sense, non-ideological people that other reasonable, common-sense, non- non-ideological people would make great political leaders. But this is not the skillset required in 2024
Yes, of course he will object. We shall see how many other Representatives and/or Senators will cave and show Americans they are spineless and agree to all that their corrupt master instructs them to do. What happened to our country?
Its amazing how idiotic trump and is newly forming admin are. I also find it disheartening that as a veteran i have to watch my country fall towards facism expeditiously
Crazy how even to this day, the party line of the Democrats seems to be "take the high road, no matter what" - it's obvious what the Republicans are gonna do, I don't know why the Dems continue this charade. These MAGA Republicans are not good-faith actors in our democracy.
What can we the citizens do to, that report belongs to the American people we have a right to see what this man was charged with.Him wanting to be attorney general while hiding an ethics report is complete bullshit.The Democrats should be all over this. The resistance to these people must be swift
Sure Mike Gravel tried to read the Pentagon Papers into the Congressional Record during a filibuster, but was thwarted. So he convened a meeting of the obscure Buildings and Grounds Committee, he was the Chair, and read it into the record, with the press in attendance. We need another Gravel

Oh wait. The election is over. You're back to "we're dedicated to holding power to account!" mode (lmao).
Maybe just have Maggie clear it first with your Special Big Boy?
Two decades later, our pastor was finally found guilty of abusing 3 GENERATIONS of his family.
Evangelicals will always protect the pedophile.
It WILL be released.
Release the report
They are truly dreadful people.
Johnson would release it with a big press conference and blast the media for suggesting it wouldn't
500 Congressional staffers have it in their inboxes
