House Ethics draft report accuses Gaetz of statutory rape of 17-year-old, drug use and obstruction
https://justthenews.com ^ | 12/23/2024 | john solomon

Gaetz is quoted extensively in the draft report denying each allegation and told Just the News that "these were some women who I dated over the course of a decade, and had relationships with at various times and that I admittedly were generous to."

The House Ethics Committee gathered evidence that former Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida paid multiple women for sex, including a 17-year-old high school junior, used illegal drugs like cocaine and ecstasy and obstructed efforts by Congress to investigate his conduct, according to a draft of its findings obtained by Just the News.

“The Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress," stated the draft of the report slated to be released this week.

The draft report also said it did not find evidence that Gaetz had engaged in sex trafficking as some had alleged, concluding that all the women who traveled with Gaetz out of their home states did so voluntarily even if they accepted payments for sex.

The draft lays out sordid details of Gaetz’s alleged drug-fueled partying with young women based on interviews with those women and eyewitnesses, but saved some of its harshest criticisms for the former Florida Republican’s refusal to cooperate completely with the years-long ethics inquiry.

Sorry, I no longer believe most women when it comes to allegations of sexual misconduct aimed at Republican lawmakers.

FBI investigated it and even THEY couldn’t bring charges.
It was a scam to bilk money out of him.

But now he will release the Congressional sexual harassment slush fund list. It’s gonna be fun.

My answer to dems is to sing this to them like Beethoven’s 5th:

“Nobody cares”
“No Bod y cares…”

“paid for sex” is that a twisting of giving women stuff or did he actually pay them like prostitutes?

Where is 17 under the age of consent? It might be in some circumstances.

Sounds like he partied with a lot of women, including young ones, and many people disapprove.

But I don’t believe any of these kinds of reports anymore.

How is he going to do that? (not a rhetorical question)

Does "paid for sex" mean dinner and a show?

>> according to a draft of its findings obtained by Just the News.

Really, “Just the news”...???

HOW EXACTLY did you “obtain” the report? “Anonymous sources”?

HOW EXACTLY did you verify the “report”? Is it truthful? Or made up?

OR DID YOU, “just the news”, FABRICATE the “report” out of whole cloth to further your agenda?

Inquiring minds want to know.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I don’t trust John Soloman, left wing vermin that he is. And I damn sure don’t trust “Just the news”. Just the news, my ass! Gaslighting bullshit.

Prove me wrong, you agenda driven corrupt lying sons of bitches. There, I said it.

This resume veritably screams “John Soloman is a self promoting, lying son of a bitch”.

Sounds sleazy, but before we go any farther, lets dig through the dirt of the rest of Congress, because they only out one another if they go waaay off the reservation. Like Gaetz did. As long as they stay in their lanes, they’re safe. But there’s no telling the debauchery in the members.

How is he going to get it to leak it since he is no longer a member of Congress?

Have someone steal it so he can leak it?
