JUST IN: Matt Gaetz House Ethics Committee Report Leaks to Media – Here Are the Details
Gateway Pundit ^ | December 23, 2024 | Cullen Linebarger

Congress has leaked its hit job, er “report,” against former Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL).

According to the report set to be officially released later Monday, Gaetz allegedly made tens of thousands of dollars in payments to women for sex while he was a member of Congress, along with a host of other so-called ‘crimes.’

“From 2017 to 2020, Representative Gaetz made tens of thousands of dollars in payments to women that the Committee determined were likely in connection with sexual activity and/or drug use,” the report reads.

In total, Gaetz allegedly paid more than $90,000 to 12 different women. One person was supposedly under 18 and illicit drugs were used at these parties.

More from CBS:

Victim A recalled receiving $400 in cash from Representative Gaetz that evening, which she understood to be payment for sex. Victim A said that she did not inform Representative Gaetz that she was under 18 at the time, nor did he ask her age.

All of the women who testified said the sexual encounters with Gaetz were consensual, however, one woman told the committee that the use of drugs at the parties and events they attended may have “impair[ed their] ability to really know what was going on or fully consent.”

Another woman told the committee: “When I look back on certain moments, I feel violated.”

The leaked report also found that Gaetz created a false email account ostensibly for buying weed.

State laws were allegedly violated by Gaetz when he supposedly had sexual intercourse with a minor.

It’s important to note that Gaetz has denied all wrongdoing. Moreover, even the Biden Department of Justice declined to prosecute him.

‘My 30’s were an era of working very hard – and playing hard too. It’s embarrassing, though not criminal, that I probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have earlier in life,’ Gaetz previously wrote on X.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported the House Ethics panel secretly voted to release a ‘damaging’ lawfare report of Matt Gaetz before the end of this Congress.

The panel previously voted not to release the report after Gaetz resigned from Congress last month. But they wanted to get in one last shot at Gaetz and ruin his political career.

Gaetz has also filed a lawsuit to prevent the report’s release, alleging his constitutional rights are being violated.

But given the fact details have already leaked to the corporate media, this renders the suit likely moot.

This release could impact Gaetz’s political future. He has said he may run for Marco Rubio’s vacant senate seat and is open to running for governor of Florida as well.

Hmmmm. Does it sound any worse than Obama and his homosexual, drug-fueled flings with strangers in the back seat of a limo?

Larry Sinclair, please call the msm. They’d be very anxious to hear from you. Not.

Big difference.

Personally I think paying for sex is pathetic but that’s just me. There is a certain sleaze factor to this account if it’s even true. Gaetz might be a good fit for the Senate.

The Ethics Committee probe also found that Gaetz helped a woman he met
through Greenberg and had sex with to obtain a new passport. Committee
investigators wrote that Gaetz connected the woman with his chief of staff,
and Gaetz’s top aide helped the woman get a passport appointment at a Miami
passport office, saying she was his constituent even though she lived outside
Gaetz’s district.

Okay, Gaetz is out. Now do the rest of the congress scum who paid women (or men) to shut up about their sexcapades and go away.

Hey,
Let’s have a full list of money paid out by Congress people and Senators that did the EXACT thing.

Matt needs to take the seat he won, and as Bannon is urging, burn the whole place down. Expose every name and every dollar of tax money that’s been paid out of the Congressional Hush Money Slush Fund.

This should be done regardless, but especially now. These a-holes want to play dirty, well let’s ALL play dirty!

And Jeffery Epstein did not kill himself. I’m sure that report will be forthcoming soon.

If Gaetz were a Democrat, the report and charges would be a resume enhancement...as El Rushbo used to say...

Who in Congress has been accused of having sex with a 17 year-old girl, except for Matt Gaetz?

Gaetz is disgusting.

I don’t think anyone should be “whatabouting” these allegations.

I thought that this Greenberg fella has pretty much been discredited. I'm ambivalent towards Gaetz and this report since I'm sure there are other Congress critters that are doing the same or worse.

NO problem with that.

But Gaetz is a scumbag for threatening to out Congressman that paid settlements for sexual harassment claims. He should have done that ANYWAYS.

Instead he comes across as "keep quiet and I will not out anyone".

Like I said, a scumbag.

“..If Gaetz were a Democrat, the report and charges would be a resume enhancement...”

Exactly....a HUGE resume enhancement.
Heck, he’d probably even qualify as the #1 potential POTUS candidate with those “qualifications”..../s
