Former Congressman Matt Gaetz threatened to rejoin Congress, expose lawmakers’ “Me Too” settlements paid out using taxpayer funds – and then resign from Congress.

Matt Gaetz floated the idea after the House Ethics Committee secretly voted to release a ‘damaging’ lawfare report on him.

Gaetz resigned from Congress last month after President Trump nominated him as US Attorney General.

The House Ethics Committee was going to release a “damaging” report on Matt Gaetz last month, but because he resigned from Congress, the committee lost jurisdiction.

Matt Gaetz threatened to air out his colleagues’ dirty laundry and expose every #MeToo settlement paid using public funds after the House Ethics Panel reversed course and voted to release the lawfare report.

Gaetz resigned from the 118th Congress but he was elected to the 119th Congress so he said he could get sworn in, do some damage and then resign:

Someone suggested the following plan to me:

1. Show up 1/3/2025 to congress

2. Participate in Speaker election (I was elected to the 119th Congress, after all…)

3. Take the oath

4. File a privileged motion to expose every “me too” settlement paid using public funds (even of former members)

5. Resign and start my @OANN program at 9pm EST on January 6, 2025.

In 2017, the Congressional Office of Compliance released a year-by-year breakdown of harassment settlements and other awards without details. (screenshot below)

Talk Not.

Just

Do

It.....

[Just mythoughts]

Go for it Matt! Shine the light on the dark and gutless under belly!

[ducttape45]

I hope he does it!

[BobL]

Ingenious!

[No name given]

Or is he just all talk and no action like the rest of the swamp?!

[lee martell]

Can he do that, or is the decision not his alone?

Democrats hate it when you use their own tactics against them.

[philman_36]

Why did you chose to do this only AFTER you were threatened with exposure?
You had the opportunity before now to expose the people involved and you chose to do nothing.

You've tarnished yourself more than anything they might have done with this tactic.
Your blackmail is no better than theirs.

It wasn’t wise of him to quit.

[Alberta's Child]

He can’t just do it. He has to do it on the floor of Congress as a sitting member to avoid any legal repercussions.

[Paladin2]

That is the stated plan.

Or it won’t work.

[little jeremiah]

Sounds like a good idea to me.

[lightman]

The better plan is to keep silent and then just do it.

[PghBaldy]

Well, it would make the already very interesting near-future even more interesting...

I’d vote for him again. Florida already doesn’t have 2 representatives because the 2020 census undercounted us, and it won’t be until 2030 that it’s fixed. Who knows what the census-takers will do to us then?

[bigbob]

It would be the biggest thing he would ever do. Nobody is gonna watch his crummy show on OAN.
