Probably because it's embarrassing and he doesn't want to make public what's in it.
Couple of things... If Gaetz did nothing wrong, the report itself should illustrate that. However, even if he did something wrong, inappropriate and against the law, do you really think there's a republican brave enough to vote against trump?
I do think people will vote against Trump on Gaetz, and I'm 45% sure Trump knows this and doesn't care. I'm not exactly sure what the game is, but it wouldn't surprise me if Gaetz is sort of a Trojan horse pick to accomplish a different goal (maybe Gaetz goes down but takes a few key Dems with him for example).
What on earth gives you the confidence GOPers will stand against Trump on this? Hope you're right, but everything we've seen from republicans the past 8 years tells me they've been brought to heel.
I mean, it's possible it's just a horrible pick out of left field, but I don't think it's that simple.
first - you know they don't have the authority to arrest or even file charges, right?
Lol. They could turn things over to those that can make an arrest. And they didn't. Nothing else you can say matters knowing that. Their ethics probe was another political hit job.
Don't need to. If something criminal occurred an ethics committee would be bound by....wait for it....ethics....to turn it over for prosecution. They didn't.
Did they? If they did nothing there....if they didn't.....nothing there.
It was a political hit job that was opened and investigated by a republican-led committee?
that means there wasn't anything criminal, or at least that they felt they could take to court. Ethics is a different realm.
I thought I heard they did. Now maybe it was something different, but…of course we don’t know what the committee specifically looked at.
Hadn’t heard that one but it’s not surprising. Johnson is the kind of guy you just know has some creepy skeletons in his past and most likely present as well.
which of course doesn't mean everything was on the up and up.I thought I heard they did. Now maybe it was something different, but…of course we don’t know what the committee specifically looked at.
DOJ tells Matt Gaetz that he won’t be charged in sex trafficking probe, his lawyers say
Prosecutors had spent months investigating allegations that Gaetz was part of a scheme that led to the sex trafficking of a 17-year-old girl.www.nbcnews.com
Sure. You are the one taking things in faith. You think this election would have you considering the lying pieces if garbage you have had faith in on these type of things. The Russian collusion narrative. The lawfare. The lies and gaslighting building narratives exactly like this bullshit ethics committee.
Sure, though the public integrity section is pretty solid and doesn’t generally play games. Certainly not shy about indicting elected officials.
It was an investigation run by a GOP-led committee for 2 years...you think it goes that long if there's nothing there?
So wish my husband, an IP attorney, (you know what that is, right), were still alive.
Agreed - tho it could also mean that they simply didn't feel there was enough evidence to convict.
Yep. No compelling inferences to be drawn, except that there’s no particular reason to suggest the ethics committee is somehow sitting on something to keep it away from prosecutors
All true. The young ones seem to be ignorant of what a disgusting, lying, hateful, criminal guy the drump has publicly shown himself to be since at least the 1980’s.
