Dear House of Representatives: RELEASE THE REPORT ON MATT GEATZ! Let the people see it! Let the Senate see it!

From this post

MSNBC Executive Producer Kyle Griffin on 𝕏:

NBC News confirms:

A woman told the House Ethics Committee earlier this year that she once saw Matt Gaetz have sex with a minor.

The woman's lawyer says she testified before the Committee "that she witnessed Rep. Gaetz having sex with a minor at a house party in Orlando in 2017."

Funny how the folks always come out of the woodwork at the 11th hour. Democrats need a new lie. They've been using this one since Clarence Thomas' nomination.

But think about this. A woman saw a US representative (who had been in the Florida house before that) having sex with a minor.

Aside from the question of how exactly she was in a position to even observe this... She didn't intervene at the time. She didn't raise the issue at the time. But now, at the same time Democrats are fearing a Gaetz appointment to be the AG, she feels compelled to share this accusation.

But what exactly is NBC confirming other than a rumor spread by "a woman"? Gaetz was investigated by Merrick Garland's DOJ, who declined to charge Gaetz.

1. This didn’t just start after Gaetz was picked by Trump for Attorney General.

2. Why not release the House report so that everyone can see what was found out?

3. While this doesn’t apply in Gaetz’s case, you did bring up Clarence Thomas: As for coming out at the 11 hour, I agree a witness should come forward immediately. However I am been told that for the victim themselves, it is very difficult to come forward and so it is not unusual for victims to take years before they come forward. The person who violated them being tapped for high office maybe the last straw.

4. I don’t know how this woman came to be in position to see what she claims to have seen. Perhaps the report could clear this up?

Fair enough. I suppose I should have done this.

[TSherbs]

I wonder if the first video from his first cabinet meeting this time around will be similar to the ring-kissing ceremony he had in that first vid in 2017.

I am hoping that all of these people do a good job running their departments and keep Trump from his worst impulses. Time will tell. I am avoiding gloom and doom thinking as best I can. Having fair success. Some of these people will do well, I speculate. Some will not. No idea which will be which.

Correct. Garland's DOJ investigated for 3 years, and closed the case with no charges.

2. Why not release the House report so that everyone can see what was found out?

Because Garland's DOJ investigated for 3 years, and closed the case with no charges.

3. While this doesn’t apply in Gaetz’s case, you did bring up Clarence Thomas: As for coming out at the 11 hour, I agree a witness should come forward immediately. However I am been told that for the victim themselves, it is very difficult to come forward and so it is not unusual for victims to take years before they come forward. The person who violated them being tapped for high office maybe the last straw.

In the case of Thomas (which is the case for everyone else the Democrats try to smear with this tactic), he was a federal judge. So was Kavanaugh. The actual "victim" has come forward and said she supports Gaetz's nomination. The only complaint is from "a woman" who claims to have witnessed it.

4. I don’t know how this woman came to be in position to see what she claims to have seen. Perhaps the report could clear this up?

Or perhaps because Garland's DOJ investigated for 3 years, and closed the case with no charges; the woman's claim is irrelevant.

[Warbler]

That there wasn’t enough evidence to charge him doesn’t mean there wasn’t enough to justify keeping out the Attorney General’s office. Again perhaps the report could clear this up. Not releasing it makes it look like you’re trying to hide something.

There is a huge difference between a federal judge and a Supreme Court Justice.

I have not seen anywhere that the “victim” supports Gaetz’s nomination. I did a google search and didn’t turn up anything. So could you please provide a link for your claim?

Btw I come across this https://www.politico.com/live-update...ately-00189619

If the witness was not found credible enough to levy a criminal charge, the witness is not credible enough to keep Gaetz out of the AG's office.

"Clearing it up" is a political tactic. See: The wrap up smear.

Remember kids, they told you the Steele Dossier was real too. Trump likes to have Russian prostitutes pee on him, said the Democrats...

At some point, you'll have to realize you need new sources for news. The ones you're using have a history of lying to you for political purposes.

[Warbler]

Wow, Gaetz has withdrawn from the Attorney General nomination.

This guy has been a scumbag for years. The money trail finally caught up with him. A Trump loyalist, but still a scumbag.

I disagree. The level of evidence needed to keep someone out of high office need not be as high as needed to get a conviction.

"Clearing it up" is a political tactic. See: The wrap up smear.

Not sure what the "wrap up smear" means but I just thought the Senate and the American people ought to have as much info as possible before elevating Gaetz to the Attorney General's office. Doesn't matter much now.

ew, and hadn't heard that particular allegation, but it would not necessarily shock me.

Well, I asked you for the link for claim that the victim supported Matt Gaetz's nomination and am still waiting. Are you saying it is a total lie that the victim wanted the House report released?

Trump doesn't care if someone is a scumbag, he only cares if the guy is loyal (and I don't mean loyal to the country).

agreed

[TSherbs]

Now we'll see if Hegseth can withstand more info coming out about his past behaviors. Dude is wack. We're gonna find out just how wack.

"Scumbag"? "Dude is wack"?

This is the sort of vitriol you bring to the forum.

Let's play along and name it as a severe case of TDS, and your generally bitter attitude.

Not sure what the "wrap up smear" means but I just thought the Senate and the American people ought to have as much info as possible before elevating Gaetz to the Attorney General's office. Doesn't matter much now.

We talked about it, and I even provided the video of Nancy describing it.

It was all the rage after the 2016 election. Salacious accusation is a Democrat forte though. Trump is rumored to be a germaphobe, making the accusation that much more ridiculous.

I'm not saying anything. Merely sharing.

Trump should offer the AG job to Sydney Powell, for reasons to be made clear soon.

Where? Because there is no video posted in this thread of someone named Nancy describing what wrap up smear means.

Well, I have no evidence to conclude either way.

That talks about his girlfriend coming forward and approving his nomination. No way to know that woman was the minor who claimed to have been seen with Gaetz

Trump has picked Pam Bondi.

Here, on this forum, in another thread.

You'll have to do your own homework on this one, and maybe learn how the search function works.
