For the record, I hate Gaetz and hope to see him in jail soon. But he may have still resigned. Johnson wanted him to so Desantis can fill
His seat before January 3. Trump is picking too many house republicans for his appointments and their lead is too narrow.
Matt Gaetz said he resigned to, "to expedite the process of filling his House seat through a special election", according to state media. If you think this would prevent "the machine" from releasing a negative report, then you don't know the machine.
He would be filling a position to which he was elected in 2024. not related to the resignation. I heard it either on NPR or a responsible podcast. Will check.
It appears that Gaetz is out whether confirmed as AG or not. DeSantis will make appointments for Gaetz and Rubio until the special election. Do you suppose Trump tired of Gaetz and this was one way to get him out?
You damn right. If the convict president can stay in the white house again then alleged child rapist and a pedophile can become am Attorney General. Show me your friend and i will tell you vividly what type of person you are instantly
Constitution gives the president the power to adjourn congress. Automatic recess appointments without an official recess. This is a power that has never been exercised before. There will be no confirmation.
Rep. Matt Gaetz recently resigned from Congress two days before the House Ethics Committee was expected to release a report with potentially damaging findings related to allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use. His resignation ends the committee's jurisdiction over the investigation.
They know what is in that report is extremely incriminating or they would be screaming far and wide for it to be released. This is the man (I use the term loosely) the Mango Mussolini wants to be the next AG. I don’t think I’ve ever been as blown away as when I heard that.
No kidding! We already know that what he did was BAD. His partner in the crimes got 11 years. I don't recall the last time a rapist got more than a slap on the wrist.
Indeed. I know someone who got indicted on insurance fraud charges, and insisted to all and sundry they were innocent, but then accepted a plea deal of 26 months in prison in lieu of a trial.
If it was actually anything other than Bullshit he would have been arrested. Biden raped his office assistant. She's hiding in Russia. It was Known the same day it happened. and yet people like you covered it up. gawd KNow what Harris Walz did.
Yes. And given that he’s about to lead a critically important agency, in the interest of national security, it’s vital that the investigation into his alleged crimes be made public. The same holds true, in spades, for Jack Smith’s Trump investigations.
eh what can you do, we have a president-elect who shouldn’t even be president because of the constitution. I wonder how many unconstitutional acts will be preformed by his administration in these four years.
Hear me out Aaron ! Do you think Gaetz was lead to believe that the votes were 100% there , thus giving up his seat to be filled by Lara Trump and her being installed as speaker ?? Gaetz and Johnson being uninformed collateral damage??
The way I read it... he resigned to be a member of the president elect's Cabinet. Congressional rules forbid a congressman to hold both positions at the same time. By dent of resignation is the findings are not applicable to a non member.
Similarly if I don't owe taxes, I am then a bit richer.
Yes, and Johnson's excuse that it shouldn't be released bc he resigned is 🐂💩 reason not to! They're clearly covering for him bc they know it's disastrous. He'll, the story Mullin tells about Gaetz is bad enough!
Sounds a lot like Trump’s sister Maryanne Trump Barry who stepped down from the bench bench in February 2019 after an investigation was launched into allegations that she had committed judicial misconduct by participating in fraudulent tax and financial transactions
Three dots to the right to delete was only option I saw. I copied my text, deleted my post, then pasted, made corrections and posted. I’m tech challenged, there should be a better way.
Exactly. And his friend/cohort wouldn’t have gone to prison. Since he resigned this term yet won the recent election, can he still serve if he doesn’t get AG? He is such a snake. And I don’t mean to insult snakes.
I remember the good old days, when, after committing a grievous misdeed, one would at least have the decency to take flight to Philadelphia or the Carolinas.

Gaetz won’t last if he makes it through. One misstep and you’re FIRED! Then who would hire him? I see car sales in his future.
No kidding. The copium these fools need to ingest to think Matt Gaetz, Trump, Gabbard, and the weekend host of Fox and Friends are good for the country must be weighed in metric tons.
He is definitely trying to beat the system. Resigning in 2024 to block the case moving forward. My question: if he is not approved for AG and he assumes his 2025 House seat-can the investigation move forward?
If he has broken the law then it doesn't matter if he is up for an appointment or not, he should be charged. Withholding the defamatory information is being an accomplice in the crime!
As those of his wont have no shame, Drunky Matty would not have given a solitary fuck about whether or not it were released. Only Moses Johnson seem to give a shit, because...:"Christian".
One good thing out of all of this is we got him out of Congress...even if he is confirmed, it's going to be messy...it will make the GOP look bad and he won't last long
Agree. If it exonerates him, they should prove it by making it public instead of trying to hide it! Mike Johnson likes to complain that democrats lack transparency so let him show us his, the little weasel (no offense to the weasel population anywhere)!
Exactly. I mean, why not continue to paid while sitting on your butt doing nothing while awaiting your recess appointment, yet another way of circumventing the process?

1. Y'all believe anything without checking its source and now you want proof?
2. Despite evidence being provided over 8 years they've chosen to deny all proof and evidence.
They don't know what they want

If it, in any way, exonerated Gaetz, Johnson would be victory lapping the report around DC like a peacock.
The real question is how much worse are the findings compared to what we already know?
Also Johnson would have encouraged the committee to release it
i follow u on tiktok
Why can’t we see his medical records?
We can keep this going forever
Similarly if I don't owe taxes, I am then a bit richer.
If they don't confirm him, would trump just make him a recess appointment?
Man's really went 🥺 you didn't have to tell on me
Congress dropped the pedophilia allegations when there was no proof found.
The report is still relevant and valid as it pertains to Congressman-elect Gaetz and should be published. Maybe the House will choose NOT to seat him?
What a country.

People say they want transparency, well I think we should know what the new AG has been up to.
