The House Ethics Committee met Wednesday but did not release its report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), resisting significant pressure to release its findings after President-elect Trump select…
The committee is 5/5, Democrat/Republican. Care to rethink that comment?
Look, these people are playing a game we barely understand, at a level we can’t comprehend, at stakes we don’t understand.
Best guess from my dumbass? They let the “hacked leak” do the dirty work. The facts get out, but no one can point a finger at the committee. Bonus: A “leak” won’t be taken as seriously as an official release.
And as to why Gaetz got busted in the first place? (He was my Congressman, so I’ve been following along closer than most.) He was a rich frat-boy who got into federal office long before he was ready to play. FFS, he was showing his “conquest” fuck pics on the House floor. Dumbass should have learned to play in the state House before he went national. He was a child among wolves, and now they’re eating him.
Anyway, they’re meeting again on 12/05. Let’s see if they have the balls to release the official report.
It’s a game of self preservation. It always is and has been. There’s nothing more to it. Preserve your power, make deals, and find ways to compromise and make yourself come out of top while making those that supported you have a win.
