  3. “I think this would take us down a path that I don’t know how we would return if the House Ethics Committee and its resources could be used to investigate people who are not in the house then where would that end,” he added.

    However, Bream interjected, “To be fair, he was a member when the investigation was underway.”

    Glad to see she called him on this.

  4. Fox News over the last three decades got us where we are today, *now* they want to start asking GOP politicians real questions? Bit late.

  5. That will be interesting, seeing Fox News employees in a Gulag.

  6. If he’s guilty how is it even legal to do this. Do they just tell the court “nope not gonna tell you”

  8. People are seriously underestimating the Republican infighting we’re about to see

    MAGA and moderate R’s hate each other and have been able to hide it behind Democrats since 2020.

    The battle lines are already drawn, all the R’s that could be primaried have already been taken out. The remaining moderate R’s still standing come from districts that won’t elect a MAGA ever.

    Get some popcorn.

  9. If sexual behavior isn’t a barrier to a job or leadership position, I don’t want to hear shit about homosexuality being a problem, ever. For any reason.

    It’s the least conservatives can do given that their sexual behavior seems to include non-consensual proclivities while homosexual people are just interested in consenting interested partners.

  10. Johnson is a feckless leader and toady, like every Trump-simping loser. They cannot stand to join normal discourse, because their ideas crumble under scrutiny. Here, they insulate themselves in their “fLaIrEd uSeRs oNlY!” echo chambers like scared children. Pathetic people.

  11. Johnson; let me tell you. That report got me so horned up I couldn’t imagine anyone better for the role.

  14. Only thing worse than a shit weasle is a religious zealot shit weasle. 

  16. Silly question, legitimately looking for an answer. Couldn’t we just FOIA it?

  17. None of them have “ethics”. Politics is just who can lie the most believably.

  18. Their viewers wouldn’t believe it anyway.

    Conservatives: what’s the proof Gaetz committed a crime? He was never convicted of anything wrong

    Also conservatives: Trump’s multiple convictions are lawfare, he didn’t do anything wrong.

    It must be easy to cope with reality when you move the goal posts at every convenience.

  19. *”He (Painter) said the Senate Judiciary Committee could refuse to hold a hearing or delay a vote on the nomination if “all the relevant information” about the nominee is not handed over, including the House Ethics Committee’s report.”*

    Too bad they didn’t have these same reservations when they confirmed Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

    And if they refuse to confirm him, Trump will just make it a recess appointment.

  20. Gaetz resigning at that time was a good example of gaming the system. It’s more than ironic given that Trump’s popularity was with people who believed the system has been gamed against them.

  21. Mike Johnson’s son reportedly caught his porn-pal father Bible-beating off to the New Trump Blible Testamoney Intrational Version. Christian Hypocrisy is disgusting. Hellbound whack-off politicians should be purged from society.

  22. Fox News should push back on the most extreme BS that Donal Trump pushes. Because the crazier he is, the more it will (hopefully) hurt the Republicans down the road.

  23. It is well to remember that it wasn’t the break in that brought down Nixon, it was the cover-up.

  24. Hell must have frozen over because John Cornyn is speaking out in favor of releasing the report

  25. Gaetz would totally get away with this if so many other GOPers didn’t hate him. That might be our only saving grace here.

  26. These are the people who spent 4 years publicly flaying Hunter Biden’s life.

  27. Mike Johnson will prove to be as dangerous, potentially more so than Mitch McConnell when it’s all said and done. I wish I could be a fly on the Pearly Gates when the god he claims to worship sends him to hell

  29. Wait, what?!

    The “ tradition”, tradition is to not release the contents of an ethics report when a rep resigns?

    This has happened enough times that it is a matter of “tradition”

    Do any internet sleuths have a number?

  31. Not to use the old, “I pay your salary” line, but don’t taxpayers have the right to review the work being done with the money we pay to have it done? Not just in this instance, but anything outside of national security?

  33. No” I prayed on it all week and God thought it best that the report goes unseen”? I guess he doesn’t consult god on these type of issues, perhaps he doesn’t want to hear his answer?

  34. Gaetz pissed off the republican establishment and now they’re going to make him pay.

  35. If you watch the News channels still you are low IQ (no pattern recognition), and potentially low T.
