Matt Gaetz Ethics report-

eyecu2's Avatar
So, tricky Matt has decided to sue the ethics committee to stop the release of the Ethics report.

Apparently as his last ditch attempt and hail mary, he's asked the courts to intervene as it will cause serious harm and jeopardy to his new gig. He is on deck to move from esteemed US House Rep to lower level coffee boy, aka news "anchor" on OANN. One America News Network.

Yes OAN is on the rise- as PEW research states-

"the rise of Newsmax and One America News (OAN), two alternative media outlets seen as potential competitors to Fox News. But a new Pew Research Center survey finds that the long-standing cable superpower still has a much wider reach among both Republicans and Americans overall as a source of political news. In addition, while about three-in-ten Democrats and those who lean Democratic get political news from Fox, virtually none of them do from Newsmax and OAN, according the survey of 12,045 adults conducted March 8-14 on the Center’s American Trends Panel."

FOx gets about 43% of viewers domestically, and OAN gets a paltry 7% . I am guessing that FOX has determined that Gaetz is about as friendly as radioactive fallout, and doesn't need to shell out more multi- million dollar rulings for those who spew outright bullshit and lies. Another reason that he hasn't been asked to join the FOX network as a "NEWS" anchor. -- The good news is that Matt could use that giant forehead of his to show movies on - if OAN has a happy hour on Fridays or holidays where they show some porn silently while throwing back booze and helping some hookers with some pocket change. A match made in heaven.

The real question is will Gaetz blocking attempt work, or will the American people find out just how morally depraved he is, as is likely all who have kept company with him. I'd imagine the salacious details will leak out and will confirm it eventually- as all things in Washington do. It's nice to see some illumination into the general RED side of politics, as he is more representation of the party who love to hide, deflect, redirect and mislead conclusions of investigations and actual governing, since they are more intersted in holding onto power at any cost.


From US House member to OAN- my how far one has fallen in an attempt to not have their dirty laundry flaunted for all to see. Yet they will ....

Isn't he one of the guys who had asked DJT for a pardon before he was shown the door in 2020? Yep- He was. I wonder what he's afraid of being outed for that would require a pardon. Maybe we'll know that afterwards too.

The report has been leaked.

ECCIE rules prohibit posting it here.

Read the sleaze and tawdriness here:

This scumbag needs to,just go away. But he’s not going to. Another MAGA scab that fell off to reveal the deep wound in our nation.

some none- rule breaking exerpts:

Gaetz filed a civil complaint in federal court Monday morning to halt the release of the report, claiming he was not notified of the panel’s plans to release the report nor was he provided copies of the materials.

“As such, Plaintiff has been afforded no opportunity to respond to any report or investigative conclusions of Defendants,” the complaint reads.

“Plaintiff has frequently and vehemently declared his innocence regarding the alleged misconduct, and requested Defendants cease their investigation and provide him appropriate due process rights.”

along with:

In a statement Gaetz released on X last week after CNN reported that the committee had voted to release the report, Gaetz denied having sex with REDACTED for ECCIE RULES or paying women for sex.

“In my single days, I often sent funds to women I dated - even some I never dated but who asked. I dated several of these women for years,” Gaetz said. “It’s embarrassing, though not criminal, that I probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have earlier in life. I live a different life now.”

Well which one is it Matt? You're a either a reformed abuser of women, and law breaker, or you're lying-

AND it's not the smoking n drinking that got you in the pickle you're in. It's the "other" stuff.

"the life you live now" is a rich statement- is it because you were forced to leave office vs. face ETHICS violations in the house?


The answer is yes- Simple as that. Chicken shit Matt G. runs home with his ball because he knows he would be not only in violation of house ethic, but state laws, and would cast a horrible shadow on the incoming administration- which already has lots of SHADOWS of ill-repute and fuckery on it.

Indeed. Let us not forget that this man was first choice for Attorney General of the USA. Personification of the incoming regime's low esteem for the American people.

He admitted his guilt when he ran away from Congress.

NOt much different than claiming the 5th, which according to DJT- only guilty people do. -


I'd love to see Gaetz go to trial for his shenanigans. Let him plead whatever he wants, and then the chips land where they may.

Guilty or innocent- the portion that is important here is that he was being promoted as a person who should be WITHOUT QUESTION, above board on ethics. Guess what??


He isn't. - and is part in parcel what is wrong with EVERY one of Trumps cronyism and nepotistic appointments. They are all swamp creatures and getting the spots due to fealty and kissing the ring.

Yeah, you know its all bullshit because if Merrick Garland could have charged a Trump supporting Congressman, Gaetz would have been arrested already.
Gaetz appears to be a real scumbag.

I say appears because has any of this been put forth by first hand witnesses under oath?

to have testimony from some of the women in question

But, no doubt Biden's own FBI/DOJ would o' crucified Gaetz
IF they had anything substantial against him.
