Trump ally Gaetz paid for sex and drugs while in office, ethics report says
BBC ^ | 23 Dec | Edited by Brandon Livesay in New York and Rorey Bosotti in London

Posted on 12/23/2024 12:51:01 PM PST by RandFan

-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

Out of all of the bad actors in DC, why are the Republican deep state insiders targeting Gaetz with this type of retribution?

What has he done (said) that has really kicked the hornets nest?

He must have made some pretty powerful enemies at some point.

I think I know.

Very good comparison.

Whenever you see discrepancies like this. There is always an actual reason if you look hard enough.

It’s not simply Republican/Democrat. If so, the Republicans would have been screaming at the time about Frank and they would not be doing to Gaetz what they are currently doing to him.

It’s something much less obvious.

He was on the Benny Johnson podcast a few months ago and made some pretty eyebrow raising claims about a foreign country.

Release all ethic reports, not just your political target. A republican ought to release a dirty democrat one to stop this from happening again.

I’m glad you looked that up. Because I am not explaining it.

Pam Bondi, Trump’s pick for the Attorney General, was someone involved in.
the Trayvon Martin George Zimmerman trial and will end up being the same mistake Trump made with the FBI’s Comey in his first administration. She will be the weakest link in his ability to overcome the Dems roadblocks to hinder Trump carrying out his hopes to implement the MAGA agenda.

Those who penned that report can say virtually anything they choose to say. The question to be answered however is whether what they say is truthful or just a pack of lives.
