Personally I think every politician running for offing should be vetted before being put on the primary ballot, but apparently wanting honorable leaders isn’t a thing for the GOP.
Someone will leak it…those are the true patriots in the House…there have to be some people who simply can’t stand to have Gaetz at the head of the Justice Dept!
Oh. So THAT'S a terrible precedent to set... not appointing a known sex offender. Not electing one as president. Not letting a billionaire manchild have a token position for his massive election fraud strategy. Setting a precedent of openly exposing an appointee's relevant crimes... that's terrible?
At least 2 others have been released after the person “left” Congress…1 of each party. So, it has been done. But. None of them have the guts to stand up to 1 sleazebag…..
That doesn’t bode well for the country
Generally, if the person leaves office before the report is complete, yes, but there have been exceptions.
That the guy left to potentially become AG might just be a good reason for such an exception and release it.
I wish I could recall the details, but there was a report they did release after one guy left because he was doing some financial goofiness related to his office and they wanted to send a message to other house members to not do the same thing
There was a Democrat who left Congress to become the mayor of Nashville a while back who was under an Ethic investigation and his ethics report was released after he left, so there is the precedent right there.
WTF is he talking about?
Exhibit A:
Quad B sporkfoot showing a photograph of the POTUS’ son’s junk on the house floor.
Hypocrites
They need to release if not leak
Trump nominated Rep Gaetz for US Attorney General. Being the subject of a House Ethics Committee investigation alone should weigh against him. If the report exonerated Rep Gaetz that would need to be made public.
If not to the public, it should at least be shown to the Senate before confirmation hearings. If the nominee to be Attorney General has very credible evidence of ethics violations, that is relevant information to Senators doing their Constitutional duty.
Then the Senates just runs their own investigation. If the concern was serious enough for the House to investigate then no one should be surprised if the Senate conduct the same inquiry.
The Senate can draw their own conclusions based on the fact that whatever he did merited an investigation. If the House doesn't provide working papers then it would be on the Senate Judiciary committee to investigation the allegations.
Senator Durbin can run his own investigation. The House not giving up the report doesn't change the basis for the House inquiry in the first place. There is nothing stopping the Senate from doing the exact same investigation into the allegations.
Can the Dems on the Ethics Committee tell the Reps that they are going to release the details of the investigation if the report isn't released? What do they have to lose at this point? Better if the report is leaked, but if not, at least we could get the sordid details from the Dems.
Having and enforcing ethics are definitely not something the GOP does to their own. One of the rare times he’s spoken and not lied about his party. Fun. 😐
Suppressing the report might be ok if Matt Gaetz was slinking off into oblivion after leaving the House, but he’s trying to f*ck up all our houses. — Americans have a right to know.
I thought the whole point of Trump's admin is that they won't be doing things the way they were always done. I love when they want to stick to protocols when it suits them and throw them out the rest of the time.
It's time for someone to leak this #EthicsInvestigation information and the information from #JackSmith 's investigation. Where is #EdwardSnowden when we need him?
#Anonymous where are you? #Telegram #MattGaetz
“Not the way we do things in the house” in that case WTF is the point of the enquiry?
They all know how bad it is and we all know that they are hiding it from us, this is not the way government is supposed to work.
Release the Epstein Files!!!! Okay well some republican lawmakers are on it… Sorry Guys we just have to go through the normal procedure and we can’t release the Epstein files! Don’t let the liberal media brainwash you into thinking we should release them!
He's right. Why should we know everything about the person nominated to be the country's top lawyer? Who cares if he had sex with underage girls as long as he locks up others who have sex with underage girls and boys, right? 🙄
Ohhhhh! In reality english, the report spills the beans on more people in power than just Matt Gaetz. THAT is why after 4 years of investigation, the report has not been published.
The sad, sad truth is that the Dems never, never ever ever, go to the press with questions like that. No one ever stands up. I don't know why every single one of them are such cowards.
TBF, the collective democratic voter rarely makes clear demands. If it was “Release the Report” it’s clear and without endless permutations and goals.
That’s how we fight.
Which is only going to make these fascist people worse. You have to be as nasty or worse to fight this kinda evil. These Democrats in office in DC are not going to cut it.
They should at the very least release the report to all the people who are gonna vote. Then we need to take names.... I cannot believe what is happening here 😳
Our tax $ paid for the investigation…we are owed the report. Good or bad. We already know it’s bad….if it was good for him they’d be on every media proclaiming his innocence and calling it a witch hunt
Gotta be bad. If it said “all clear; nothing to see here” there would be every reason in the world to release it. Why would they allow the cloud of suspicious to remain if they could clearly dispel it?
It would be an EXCELLENT precedent to set. Whether the subject of the report had done anything or not, it should be made public, and the fact that the public already KNOWS Gaetz is a piece of shit means it should have been revealed LONG ago.
Liberals always falling over themselves to protect Republicans, and also first in line to throw a leftist under the bus. Even before a Republican. The Democratic party is a sham and a joke.
Think of what America is telling women now. Hurt young girls: swept under the carpet. Deny abortive health care: die of sepsis in a parking lot. Be threatened by unmuzzled men: get “your body, my choice” and “women shouldn’t vote, when their husbands should for the family”
This pisses me off😡 release the report WTF let the man babysit all of the Republicans that voted for the orange blob see how they feel then. But they wouldn't believe their own kids over that dumbass
The possibility of the report showing there was a witness to Gaetz having sex with an underage girl???? That is known.....but then the MAGAts try to hide what they are guilty of. What happened to transparency GOPers? (GOP = Gang of Pendejos)
If a nominee for a cabinet position has been investigated for sex crimes. It seems to me releasing the report on the investigation is exactly how they should do things.
This is a rhetorical question, obviously, but how on earth can the Senate confirm a nominee knowing that there is an Ethics Committee report (completed!) that his party is actively trying to keep secret?
Dem senators had *better* call every witness heard by House ethics to testify on confirmation.
People forget Mike Johnson literally built his career protecting pedophiles at the SBC. Matt Gaetz is nothing to Mike Johnson; Johnson protected a man who raped 14 year old boys, *many, many victims.
We paid for it. We deserve to see it. Especially since the guy would be in charge of prosecuting people for doing the exact thing they're trying to hide.
We're almost certainly going to find at some future date that there's strong evidence of Johnson doing shit like recreating Jack the Ripper crime scenes in his basement with formerly living prostitutes and that'll probably also come to nothing.

Too bad Republicans are such cowards it will probably be AFTER he runs the DOJ into the ground.

They use it for international GOP crime syndicate operations.
Republicans like to pretend they stand for norms in government even as they burn them all to the ground.
To use thier quote against them, "You have nothing to fear if you arent doing anything bad"
That doesn’t bode well for the country

These f*cking people
Transparency.

People with access and power need to use it to throw a wrench into Republicans burning everything to the ground wherever possible.
#Anonymous where are you? #Telegram #MattGaetz

WHAT ARE THEY HIDING
That’s how we fight.
No I said ‘terrible precedent’
Really because we all heard ‘terrible President”
I said it was a “terrible precedent”
Ok got it. Not sure why you’re referring to him as “it” but thanks for your time
Mike Johnson: Let's not release that bad Gaetz report.
That tells me they wouldn't pass them.
And it’s barely been 10d
that little weasel would release that ethics report in a heartbeat if it were about a Democrat.
Dem senators had *better* call every witness heard by House ethics to testify on confirmation.
🤔
And American lawmakers appear to be absolutely fine with that. Spineless, toothless, weak and cowardly.

It can't be worse than Trump's 12-13 year olds.
