The House Ethics Committee released a 37-page report into Matt Gaetz, the Republican of Florida, and allegations that he engaged in an array of illegal and untoward conduct, including having sex with a 17-year-old girl. Here are the key takeaways.

@speakermikejohnson.bsky.social @charliekirk13.bsky.social @bennyjohnson123.bsky.social These soulless men have daughters and fully support a drug addicted, rapist as president and for AG. Their god is a figment of their imagination and they lie about faith for POWER! STFU 🤫 I TOLD YOU SO …
And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
@nytimes.com You meant to type rape, but got confused and typed “having sex with a 17-year old”. Age of consent in FL is 18, so Gaetz is alleged to have committed, say it with me, statutory rape.
Isn’t having sex with a 17 year old statutory rape, regardless of whether he knew she was seventeen. Does ignorance really qualify as a defense? If they have evidence that he had sex with her , then why wouldn’t they prosecute ? Is there a statute of limitation?
Ethics. The system worked for good. The top 🔝 of the DOJ will not be following orders by someone like former member of Congress who seems to have engaged in illegal activities.
Quote from the Ethics Committee: “Representative Gaetz has acted in a manner that reflects discreditably upon the House”. Given the cast of characters currently occupying said place…that’s saying a lot.
Contrary to worldwide ignorance, what we see "happening" in Palestine at this very moment is an attempted genocide that is funded by the taxpayers of the United States of America.
Republicans and Democrats pay for the genocide of Palestinian people.

Biden’s DOJ receives a big black eye. Garland’s claim that no one is above the law is partially fictional. It seems that political bullies can evade legal consequences by intimidation.
The most horrific aspect of this story.
Is not Matt's actions.
It's sear number of people who watch Matt do it, and absolutely no one tried to stop him.
Next: Trump's new AG pick Pam Bondi. She has a lot to answer for. Like why she allowed sexual predator to roam the streets of Florida.
Matt Gaetz is the GOP in a nutshell: abuse of power, zero morals, and no accountability. A 37-page Ethics report detailing sex with a minor and other illegal acts? DISGUSTING! The party of “family values” strikes again—this time, they owe the American people answers AND consequences.
Now if only the NYTs would allow the 99% of public to read this story maybe people wouldn't vote for the other rapist and his Apartheid-made-him-rich master. Free the content so we can have a democracy!
It’s important to note that most, if not all of this was out there. (Finally proven!) Trump and republicans KNEW yet he STILL nominated him to be AG and pushed for it anyway.
And adult who is ‘having sex’ with a 17 year old is RAPING HER. And that is way the heck worse than ‘untoward.’ Please, @nytimes.com , USE THE RIGHT WORDS.
But since details of the smear campaign broke, initially in a big feature in The New York Times, then subsequently in dozens of articles on major news sites, not one outlet has used the word misogyny.
If they believed he did this, why wasn't he turned over to authorities? We need this swamp cleaned up. Release all accusations and money paid out to accusers. We need transparency. This should not come out just because it can be used to prevent political appointments

The “ethics” committee sat on this for months.
