The U.S. House of Representatives Ethics Committee is set to meet Wednesday to decide whether to release its investigative report on former Representative Matt Gaetz, who was accused of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use before he was picked by President-elect Donald Trump to be attorney general in his new administration.

      They are meeting to decide whether or not to release the report. This is quite literally something that is happening.

          I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t, but I’m not as confident as you are, as the committee is split 5/5 and there are republicans calling for its release. Additionally, we’re two years out from any election, so they have a bit more freedom to act on their conscience rather than just bow before Trump.

          However, none of this changes the fact that this article is about them meeting to discuss whether to release it. Something that is happening.

    Just fucking do it already. It’s not going to change anyone’s mind. Trump is a pedophile rapist convicted of fraud. Gaetz is just a pedophile rapist. Republicans support rape as long as the rape victim suffers as much as possible.

    It’s be so sweet to see Gaetz out of work. He resigned to take this position, the report gets released, and he doesn’t get AG.

    Ideally, he gets prison time. :)
