Do you think if the report DIDNT say Matt Gaetz paid an underage girl for rape, the GOP would vote no on releasing? Hmmm

Gaetz has openly said he would be okay with the report being released. That doesn’t sound like he is scared of its contents. So why is the GOP against releasing it? Could it be that they don’t want to reveal that the report actually proves these allegations were fake from the beginning?

Omg. How does anybody not believe his skanky perverted self didn’t do it?? They have proof. But knowing this new age Repúblican party I guess that’s not enough!

I equate this logic with “who asks for an attorney if they aren’t guilty?” Because you should. Not agreeing to release the report was more harmful than owning it. Gaetz wanted to have it both ways and he can’t. DOJ and Ethics are NOT the same.

Members of the Ethics Committee who are lawyers should consider their own ethical obligation to report knowledge of criminal misconduct of another lawyer to the Florida Bar’s Division of Lawyer Regulation. This can be done in confidence.

The GOP doesn't care about experience. It would fall on deaf ears. The only test for them is loyalty to Trump. At least with trafficking, the hypocrisy is obvious for a group of people who are so horrified at this stuff, their worst insult is calling people pedos.

The thing is he still has absolutely no prosecutorial experience..: you would think chump would have chosen his lawyer … Mr Blanch his attorney that represented him so well considering the evidence against him. Mr. Blanch has prosecutorial experience too! No chump wants a party boy instead!

He dropped out! Thank god! He would of come for me! I only sent 100. To my reps. This was 2022 when he was under DOJ investigation! I thought 100 he was going to prison? The DOJ is Federalist society corrupted.?

Congressman, the party in power answer to no one but their "Fuhrer", Trump. So they will not bend to any journalists or the greater news community. They don't have to. Filing FOIA's and initiating legal action is the only way. I believe only a rational judge can order it released now.

Consensus here is it’s a good thing gaetz withdrew from ag but that leaves ‘rump to consider him for SCOTUS? If gop had balls they consider gaetz for prison.

There is the REMOTE (<0.01%) chance that the report shows Gaetz to be innocent. If this is the case, why would they be opposed to releasing it? So that American citizens don’t gain the expectation of seeing all the reports of all the misconduct of every OTHER criminal in the GOP.

If Biden wants to seriously protect this country he needs to use the power the Supreme Court gave him. Take the orange demon out once and for all. For the protection of all mankind. Be the greatest patriot in our history, Joe.

Like they get to choice ? They're go do, however trump tells Em they're gonna do ! And they know, like you, failure to do so, means censure for yourself ! If you have a mind of your own, or God forbid, have a morals compass & wont pledge your loyalty to the beast, well then, you simply have to go !

Is there a straight middle aged white woman who could read it? Aren’t they the voters always freaked out about their neighbors being predators? Let one of them do it. It deserves a serious, not snarky, reading into the record.

It’s all one long version of the “locker room” talk from Trump’s tape way back when. The “old boys club” still thrives and those men that are silent are equally complicit. This is partly why those in power attack DEI and ridicule it. They are slugs and it is salt.

💯 their resistance to abortion is a big joke. What they really mean is “I’m against abortion …for you”. Each piece of their platform is control. You can’t be gay, or trans, no reading that book, no discussing CRT or DEI. Women can’t have a say. And people buy into it.

Do you think Gaetz will argue that his Venmo and Paypal disbursements indicate that he'd been overpaid for his service and was simply returning the flattering excess to multiple enthusiastically grateful women? Refusing to accept their generous tips? That he was, in fact, the one being trafficked?

Guys, we DON'T actually know that. Perhaps it was actually a BOY and half that age? Maybe that is why they are all too happy to have us thinking it's about a 17yo girl, which, as it turns out, is being treated as borderline-"acceptable".

Seems all of Trumps picks are surrounded by scandal. Linda M is even being sued for looking the other way knowing sexual assault was going on. The lawsuit came before the pick. Trump is drawn to people who should be in prison not in the administration. He love sex scandals too it seems.

They would still vote no. The bigger question is, what is in this report that the Republicans don't people to see? He could have asked to step down from consideration before being announced, but did not until now.....hmmmm

The fact that so many elected members don’t care and still willing to endorse his nomination as AG tells us, the American constituency, that integrity in Congress is just about as good as the Duma in Moscow.

Right?! I was thinking about this yesterday: I wonder if Gaetz bought any firearms at the same time he was supplying and using all these using illegal drugs (MDMA and coke especially) and lied on the gun application about it? They nailed Hunter for that.

Not sure what they would do. They are already committed to a felon, rapist and fraud; A super conspiracy theorist; A goofy TV personality and a quack doctor. What can go wrong?

No he’s unqualified. Not being a sex offender isn’t one of the qualifications for AG. It only means nobody has to vote for or against a sex offender. He has no trial experience which is disqualifying.

There comes a day you will eventually be caught if you did something wrong or you committed a crime. This Matt Gaetz example is just the beginning, in a long conga line.

The real question is how do we get the common sense alarm to ring louder than the blind trust alarm. Far too many are ignoring their common sense b/c they believe whatever the Orange Cheeto says.

The sad part is, as always, gop has the dems clutching their pearls while they run circles around any pushback by the left. End result being gop gets away with it. Presently, the gop has won the war. Good luck America. You had a good run.

Voting against releasing something that you may have done and you don't want them coming after you especially when you've seen what happened to: Trump Madison Cawthorn Tom Reed Van Taylor Roy Moore Judge Alex Kozinski Jim Jordan Pat Meehan Trent Franks Anthony Weiner ..........Runnin' outta space

If Gaetz were innocent, the report would have been out already. Because they know he’s not, we now have a better chance at seeing the evidence James Comer has on President Biden and his son Hunter. You know, the one he says he has but still looking for but Biden is not turning it over? Yeah that.
