-SUMMARY-
A US House Ethics Committee's report into Matt Gaetz has found "substantial evidence" he paid for sex with a 17-year-old girl and used illicit drugs while in office
It says the former Florida congressman, who was at one point Donald Trump's nominee to lead the US justice department, violated multiple state laws
Gaetz denies wrongdoing and says "the people investigating me hated me"
The justice department also investigated the claim involving sex with a minor, but did not file any criminal charges against him
Gaetz resigned from Congress in November after Trump nominated him for attorney general, but he withdrew from consideration after backlash from both Democrats and Republicans

Where are the Records of the Payouts from the COngressional Rape Fund???
This is why good people do NOT run for office.
No matter how good you are, they will ALWAYS end up accusing you of doing stuff like this....
ANYONE who bears false witness like this should be burned alive on public TV.
Otherwise they will simply keep doing it...
Why do the liberals escape such charges????? Even when the video evidence of it has already been distributed worldwide???
Tax evasion for Hunter??? REally??? AND pardoned for that even???
gimme a break!
The DOJ looked at these “allegations” many months ago, decided nothing there so they dropped it.

Tabloid rags report .... not fit to line the cage of a Norwegian Blue parrot.
“...has found “substantial evidence” he paid for sex with a 17-year-old girl and used illicit drugs while in office...”
No. It was accusations that he did that. Evidence would be impossible.
Democrats like to claim that a mere accusation is evidence of guilt if it is convenient. Good 14th century legal thought.
Otherwise, accusations with evidence are conspiracy theories if judged to be inconvenient.
Fire that Gop Speaker .
He released this report on purpose.
He had the power to kill this report .
Trump needs to demand a replacement .
this traitor needs to removed .
The DOJ found none of these charges had any proof and refused to prese charges .
This is Kevin McCarthy lynch mob Rhino revenge
Why give the Radical left wing commie rag hits here ?
What is the purpose of posting this ?
Spread there lies ?
or Tara Reade?
Yet he was never charged. IOW baseless accusations without evidence.
Amusing...Yet here’s Bubba with years and years of “playing and paying” and even in OUR Whitehouse, and lying to the whole country...”I did not have sex.......” and he gets a pass...
At this point it’s just white noise.
Gaetz has withdrawn. This is red meat for the left base, but it’s white noise.
If will affect Gary’s political future possibly, but it’s hardly a crushing blow to Trump or MAGA.
Honestly I have thought from day 1 the Gaetz nomination was a head fake, with no intention of actually being the head of Justice, but using him to flush out the folks who were going to have to be primaried next election.
Resume ENHANCEMENT for a Democrat.

BRITISH BULL CRAP (BBC)
Explain to me the difference between that and marriage?
Seems like it’s cheaper and you get to choose the date and time when you get.....

As we’ve been reporting, Matt Gaetz is facing allegations that he paid numerous women for sex - including a 17-year-old girl, according to an investigation by the House Ethics Committee.
In a final draft of the report, seen by the BBC’s US partner CBS News but not yet publicly released, the committee reportedly says it received testimony that Gaetz had sex with a 17-year-old girl, identified as “Victim A”, twice at a party in 2017.
The girl, who had just completed her junior year in high school, “recalled receiving $400 (£320) in cash” from Gaetz, the committee report says, according to CBS News, “which she understood to be payment for sex”.
She says Gaetz did not ask her age and she did not tell him that she was under 18, according to the report.
Gaetz has denied all wrongdoing and denied having any “sexual contact with someone under 18”.

If they had anything they would have charged him in a heartbeat. They got nothing but me-too-ism.
Jan 06 report says it was an insurrection... it wasn’t.
The Steele dossier was Russian Collusion... it wasn’t
The COVID-19 vaccine is highly effective... it wasn’t.
Anything the government tells you is a lie.
I don’t recall hearing the tiniest bit of chatter when it was learned that Barney Frank and his boyfriend were running a homosexual prostitution enterprise out of their house.
He wasnt charged so I guess he is innocent of criminality…. Must be some details missing from the medias sound reporting
