  1. ***From Rolling Stone’s Nikki McCann Ramirez:***

    After weeks of stalling, failed votes, and lame excuses, it seemed decided that the public would not be granted access to the House Ethics Committee’s final report on their investigation into embattled former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.). But in a surprise twist first reported Wednesday by CNN, the committee secretly voted to release the report as a final act before the end of the current Congress. Fox News later confirmed the vote.

  4. As something like this should be released, no matter which party the person is part of.

  6. Nonpaywall:

    >After weeks of stalling, failed votes, and lame excuses, it seemed decided that the public would not be granted access to the House Ethics Committee’s final report on their investigation into embattled former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.). But in a surprise twist first reported Wednesday by CNN, the committee secretly voted to release the report as a final act before the end of the current Congress. Fox News later confirmed the vote.

    >According to CNN, the report will be released on the Ethics Committee’s final day of voting before the holidays. It is unclear which Republican member (or members) of the committee — which is split evenly down partisan lines — voted with Democrats to authorize the release of its findings. 

    >Many, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), had argued that the report shouldn’t be released given Gaetz’s departure from the House. Senators, many of them Republicans, upped the public pressure for the committee’s findings to be made public given their need to vet Gaetz as a prospective attorney general. While releasing ethics reports after the departure of a lawmaker is not standard practice, critics of the right-wing campaign to keep it under wraps have pointed to past instances of a report being released despite a member’s resignation. 

    >Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration for attorney general in late November as damning details of the report found their way into the press and it became abundantly clear that his nomination was no longer viable. Earlier this month, Gaetz accepted a gig as a primetime host for the pro-Trump cable channel Newsmax.

  7. Can’t wait to never read it in full.

  8. Oh man, I hope Ol’ Marge makes good on her threat to release all the GOP “dirt” like she claimed she would if her friend Gaetz dirty laundry was aired

  9. He’s not exactly well liked by his peers in the House, so this isn’t surprising.

    Maybe you shouldn’t have been such an insufferable piece of shit matt.

  13. Guys i have the whole thing right here:

  14. Does this mean Marge is gonna go nuclear? If so we might actually get somewhere with her self owns.

  16. So basically the right have all known what is in the report and they’ve had sufficient time to coordinate their message to “discredit” the report so they are ready to release it and promptly sweep it under the rug and move on.

  17. The committee reversed itself once and could do it again. Seems likely someone or something is threatening the Rs who switched

  21. I’ll leak it for you: “We have searched for ethics in the deeds of future Attorney General Gaetz and found that there were none. But we have determined that it was somehow Antifa’s fault. No further discussion is necessary and the matter is closed.”

  22. Gaetz. Acosta. McMahon. Are there any pedophiles/human traffickers Trump HASN’T tried to hire into his cabinet yet?

  23. Does MTG know? She said she would expose them all. Lets see it.
