House Ethics Report Places Matt Gaetz on "Naughty" List

The House released its ethics report, and it's not great.

Gaetz may have plenty of defenses for these charges, but they're not all blow-offs:

In sum, the Committee found substantial evidence of the following:
* From at least 2017 to 2020, Representative Gaetz regularly paid women for engaging in sexual activity with him.
* In 2017, Representative Gaetz engaged in sexual activity with a 17-year-old girl.
* During the period 2017 to 2019, Representative Gaetz used or possessed illegal drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy, on multiple occasions.
* Representative Gaetz accepted gifts, including transportation and lodging in connection with a 2018 trip to the Bahamas, in excess of permissible amounts.
* In 2018, Representative Gaetz arranged for his Chief of Staff to assist a woman with whom he engaged in sexual activity in obtaining a passport, falsely indicating to the U.S. Department of State that she was a constituent.
* Representative Gaetz knowingly and willfully sought to impede and obstruct the Committee's investigation of his conduct.
* Representative Gaetz has acted in a manner that reflects discreditably upon the House.

Now do all 434 other members. As long as we're getting judgy.

It shouldn't be forgotten that no prosecutor thought these claims were strong enough to bring charges. And it can't be forgotten that other Congressmen hate Gaetz -- including, most of all, establishment Republicans -- and would generally say that almost any charge against him has "substantial evidence" behind it.

Not a great idea for him to put his name forward for AG, though. There's a myth about a father and son making wings out of feathers and wax that comes to mind.

Now, was there any basis for truth to it? Maybe, but apparently there is also substantial reason to believe it's all made up.

Gonna go out on a limb with this but I suspect that the girls he allegedly paid for sex with were underage illegals and biden's doj declined to charge him with anything because it would blow the lid off of the rampant child trafficking at the southern border.

101 From the story floated on substack a month ago, it’s true that she was 17, but she had a state-issued ID saying she was 18, from a Florida official who is now in jail for a whole bunch of corrupt stuff like that. That’s part of the reason he couldn’t be prosecuted.

103 Seventeen used to be legal in Virginia. At least when I was in college. After all many college girls were 17; and we considered them fair game at the time.

The last time I dated a teen, she was 19 and I was 23. Does that make me a perv?

I have noticed, ages ago, that the girls I dated in one sense were getting older - each was older than the last - but in another were getting younger, in the gap in our ages.

108 My understanding is that the majority of these allegations are from some Florida version of Kamala that likes blackmail.
Posted by: pookysgirl, too tired to research at December 23, 2024 06:07 PM (dtlDP)

The source of the allegations is a County official from Florida who was providing fake IDs to under age women, one of whom took up with Gaetz. The allegations did not come out as part of a back handed extortion of Gaetz' father, who had been approached to be the money man by elements of the FBI to try to get an Ex-FBI agent who had been picked up by the Iranians when the agent had been trying to contact a dissident in Iran more than ten years ago, and who had otherwise been considered dead. When Gaetz' dad balked at the size of the amount he was being asked to pay, the people representing the FBI supposedly said they would provide the House information on his son's involvement in under age prostitution and human trafficking.

all I can say is that this could have been a bitchin' plot to a corrupt government thriller based around a sort of Spanish Prisoner scam

- Did Trump see the list and tell him no
- Was he a set up to give the Dems a win to make it easier for other appointees?

148 Quit speculating and at least get the legal facts correct. We are capital "M" Morons after all!

The Florida Age of Consent is 18 years old. In the United States, the age of consent is the minimum age at which an individual is considered legally old enough to consent to participation in sexual activity. Individuals aged 17 or younger in Florida are not legally able to consent to sexual activity, and such activity may result in prosecution for statutory rape.

Florida statutory rape law is violated when a person has consensual sexual intercourse with an individual under Age 18. Close in age exemptions exist, allowing minors aged 16 or 17 to engage in sexual intercourse with a partner no older than age 23.

I'm pretty sure the only person who said he had sex with her is the guy who was pimping her out, and I believe he started doing so when she was somewhere around 15 or 16.

But, get this, he was in charge of issuing licenses in whatever podunk county that was, so he got her a fake ID to say she was older than she was.

So whether Gaetz had sex with her or not, he would have thought she was older than she was.

Doc says "you worried about her getting pregnant?

Bill says "no doc, I'm fixed, you know that.

Doc is now perplexed... "Is it STD's?"

Remember all this started when a conman, freshly released from prison, was paid to claim Gaetz was sex trafficking.

IIRC the details, she supposedly showed Gaetz ID saying she was of age. Do I believe any of it? No, not really.

250 From at least 2017 to 2020, Representative Gaetz regularly paid women for engaging in sexual activity with him.

Is that counting food and booze or just cash?

Sounds like it was gifts:"The report determined that due to the nature of their relationship “some of the payments may have been of a legitimate nature,” but the woman pleaded the Fifth Amendment". So he had a girlfriend he paid the bills for. Which I suspect is true of close to 100% of wealthy single guys.

257 Sometimes I feel like I was the only reporter to look into the details of the Gaetz allegations. That's how I learned the accuser is in prison for making the same false sex-with-minors accusation against someone else.

And this is the important part - whoever hired the accuser to make these claims hired him after he went to prison for making these claims against someone else...

He couldn’t provide his own exculpatory evidence

277 The ID story for that girl is wild. That part of the story I never knew. And, I did not know Scott Adams was involved.

For anyone wondering why the uniparty was going nuts about Gaetz possibly being AG? This pretty much sums it up.

The FBI suggested that Don (Matt's father) meet with David McGee wearing a wire and Don agreed. However, just before the meeting took place, Don requested a written acknowledgment from the FBI on the purpose of this investigation and meeting.

He was worried something he said could be used against Matt in the case they still didn’t know anything about. The FBI was reluctant at first but they eventually agreed.

Going back and watching the Tucker/Gaetz interview again this week, everything he said finally made sense. The FBI had planned to use Don’s meeting with McGee against Matt.

The quasi-immunity demand from Don quashed that so they leaked the story to The NY Times and then buried the wire tapes.

282 But the house "found strong evidence" based solely on one man, that the DoJ had previously found to be a completely unreliable witness.

The ethics committee does what they want, so they bring in people they know are just making things up, with no actual evidence, and then determine their word is fact. Then they leak it to try to ruin people. If they thought this really happened they would have tried Gaetz and kicked him out of congress, but they know nothing they are releasing is based in reality.
