Summary
House Republicans blocked efforts to release the Ethics Committee’s report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz, prolonging uncertainty over allegations of sexual misconduct despite his resignation from Congress.
Democrats pushed for transparency, accusing Republicans of hiding credible allegations. Speaker Mike Johnson argued that publishing the report sets a bad precedent.
While ethics reports have rarely been released post-resignation, tensions remain high on the bipartisan committee.
Gaetz denies wrongdoing, and DOJ previously closed its sex trafficking probe without charges. The report’s fate is unclear as the congressional session nears its end.
If they won’t release it I’m just going to assume the worst. Which is that every member of the GOP is knee deep in child sex trafficking.
Like if you’re going to cover this shit up, it’s because you are afraid and have something to hide.
It has nothing to do with precedent, because we all know the GOP only cares about that when it’s convenient.
“If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear” is their own argument! I feel it’s only fair to hold them to their own standards, even if they themselves refuse to.
Why do you think the qons had their thought leaders tell all the idiots in their base that Democrats were doing sex-trafficking out of the basement of a basementless pizza parlor?
It’s always projection.
The best part about that was that 6 months prior the owner gave an interview where he said they stored all the ingredients in the “basement”… 6 months later they suddenly had no basement
Owner of?
The pizza place
When did they say this?

I see that the former owner was talking about a basement in there, but that means…what? The place the qnuts got all hopped up about has no basement, yes?
