Jonathan Turley: Susan Wild and other rotten Dems are in an ethical free fall
NYPost ^ | 12/10/24 | Jonathan Turley

“‘You must be wary of those seeking to use their influence and their expertise to wrongful ends.”

Those words were spoken at the George Washington Law School commencement ceremony two years ago by the recently defeated Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.).

This week, the words took on a new meaning after Wild was accused of leaking information from the House Ethics Committee.

Wild embodies a party that is in an ethical and political free fall.

Wild was fighting to release the report of the investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.). When Gaetz decided to withdraw from Congress, the report was not released.

That is when details from the committee were leaked to the media, and the press reported that “two sources said Wild ultimately acknowledged to the panel that she had leaked information.”

I wish these articles would mention how the offender could be held accountable. What’s the worst that could happen to Susan Wild? Is there a precedent for this type of situation? Inquiring minds want to know.

Gaetz might be able to make a civil suit against her. And if he was smart, he would do it in the state of Florida.

Then financially ruin her and her family

Gaetz, having become a Regular Guy and not a Famous Person, might have standing to sue this charming lady.

Yes, Gaetx resigned from Congress, and thus prematurely ended his current term in the House of Representatives.

But does Gaetz have the option of returning to the House of Representatives to serve his newly-elected upcoming 2-year term as a congressman/member?

Yes because he resigned from the current session of Congress, but also won election to next years Congress, so he does have the legal right to be seated in 2025. But he’s out of there. The powers that be gave the shaft to him. He’ll do better as a special counsel.

“‘You must be wary of those seeking to use their influence and their expertise to wrongful ends.”

Would this include chicom bribes?

He did but he declined so they are in the process of holding a special election, I believe. Matt is going to work at OAN and is not going back to Congress.

He belongs in congress. Like MTG and Bobert he’s a thorn in their side. Don’t do a Gowdy/Chavezz. They were all talk.

Susan Wild is my representative in congress (PA-7). I cannot overstate just how happy I am that she went down in flames to Ryan Mackenzie. That woman does not deserve to me a member of congress.

That’s a shame. His efforts to escape the investigation of his supposed sexual activities with very young women has left us without a decent Congressman, for now.

FWIW, I still find those allegations questionable. Six ways to Sunday, as Chuck Schuuuuuuuuuuuuuumer put it, and that’s what this might be all about.

🎯The RNC wants money. The DNC wants power.

The RNC uses power to get money. The DNC uses money to get power.

The donor activity of the RNC drives their ideology.
The ideology of the DNC drives their donor activity.

This is the essential difference in their business models.

Yes, but he has chosen not to. Sounds like he will have his own podcast on OAN?

There are no consequences, in fact she will be celebrated by the corrupt Left.
