That sonofaBitch❗️
But it’s also not up to him. Ethics committee can still release it. Let’s keep up the pressure on them.
If true, Johnson is complicit in a sex trafficking cover up.
Days without conservatives covering for a pedophile rapist: 0
Gaetz as AG? WHY? DESTROY all repts, investigations, grand jury docs, doj/fbi evidence n all CASES/ INVESTIGATIONS re TRUMP, ELON, SAU Prince, Putin, Friends/Allies incl RussianOligarchs/Putin/China/ForeignAllies even b4 Muehller/J.Smith...
Wowwwww
Not sure why this is a surprise. They are good at covering each other’s shady *ish….
Could really use one of those “deep state” leakers about now.
I don’t have any faith in those people any more. All they do is screw around with phone networks & dumb pranks like that. They could be hacking into banks & wiping out all student loan or homeowner debt. They could zero out patient bills, or just erase healthcare companies off the face of the earth.
You do realize that the “deep state” leakers are just regular people sharing files they work with and not hackers, right? Right?
Leakers & hackers are so useless as to be indistinguishable from each other. Leakers weaponize bad timing. The data is ignored (Panama, Pandora), does not lead to arrests or changes to state administrations. Hackers only wear White Hats when they’re asking for a job after showing off.
I’m sorry. What is your point exactly? My intention was to clarify the comment you responded to because I got the impression you misunderstood. But .. now I have no idea what is happening. Do you want the public to see the evidence or no?
I do want the public to see any & all available information, to the point that I think all written/signed/pencil noted docs from public officials should be made public within 24 hrs. There are probably some NatSec things that can wait, but otherwise 100% immediate transparency should be the goal.
If I was unclear, I apologize, but it’s because I am very frustrated nobody is taking these things seriously. They are bury it, or cover it up with a Gish Gallop of public statements & bad acts that are mere drops of water compared to the gallons of information in the Panama Papers.
Please, Dems, leak this report. If Sam Alito can do it, so can you.
Hi. Would you follow back, please?
MERRICK GARLAND
Curious about the reasons, but we may never even get details from this
"Another complication for prosecutors involves the alleged victim. She currently makes online pornography, which could trigger biases in jurors [... said] former assistant U.S. attorney who [...who] is not connected to the Gaetz investigation." www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
It’s not uncommon for people who are sexually exploited at a young age to become sex workers since they feel they have few options. Gaetz is responsible for exploiting her when she was a minor and responsible for the young woman’s current choices, but people will view her as undeserving of concern.
Oh come on leave the poor guy alone. His hands are incredibly numb given he's sat on them for nearly 4 years.
Wouldn't this be a state crime?
That fcker.
Also know as “MIA”…🙄
At the end of it all they only got Hunter Biden 😭
Do any consequences stick to these ppl tho?
I’m seriously starting to question the safety of my children around these people who deny this stuff. Are my kids teachers doing the same? What if it was my kid? Would they keep it to themselves because they maybe like the person who did it? What are we doing here? Are my kids safe around MAGA?
Traitor Maggot Johnson is therefore obstructing justice and has become an accessory to statutory rape + sex trafficking. In other words, a typical red hat maggot.
drain the actual swamp
Predator appoints predator, Speaker protects both predators… the Party of “Christian Family Values” y’all
Matt Gaetz, the USA’s first Pedophile General
Merrick Garland and his soft touch
This is the guy that has a porn accountability app on his phone and will not do a thing to protect a single woman even if his lord and savior came down from the sky and told him to his face to hold men accountable.
Is the House Ethics committee the only place where these stories can be told?? How about local police? Journalists? Anyone?
What we KNOW is just the tip of the iceberg
I mean, it has to be TERRIBLE
Not to nitpick but Johnson, even as Speaker, does not have the direct power to prevent the release of the report. He strongly recommended that it not be released to the committee overseeing the ethics investigation.
Someone’s gonna leak this, right?
It must be released. And the Speaker needs to be held accountable for trying to cover it up. He knows exactly what it says.
I mean, I’m totally fine if they want to take Merrick Garland down in a cover-up scandal…….
What about the victims? Does anyone care about them?
Gaetz is a pedophile. Trump doesn't find this disqualifying because Trump is also a pedophile.
The party for family values has many skeletons in its closet.
📌
So get it leaked. Leak it. As if no Democrats in the House have access to it. Cowards.
Ugh. I hope he gets arrested soon.
The political theater of this is grotesque, there are Republican Senators in 4K on CNN talking about how Gaetz showed videos of this stuff to them on the House floor. They all already know.
None of this MATTER! When you have the will of the people behind you because of gas price and inflation. The Republicans will find a way to confirm all these crazy picks!!!
They are absolutely hypocrites.
Would it violate the no porn agreement between him and his son?
Leak it to @angrystaffer.bsky.social
We deserve to know what Gaetz did or didn't do. #LeakTheReport
I have to be honest, I think everybody already knew he had sex with teen girls and didn’t care. Which makes me wonder what else is in there
Any man that chooses to pursue mìnor females for sex, MUST be afraid of a mature woman seeing his very small penis.... and laughing at them...... For they are the Society of Little Mushroom Penii and are deserving of many "shower days" in their States penitentiary.....
Trump is just going to pardon the fucker in a month anyways.
What difference would it make anyway, these assholes can do anything they want and suffer no punishment. Well, as long as they continue to felate "Cheeto the Chosen".
Folks speculating this will be leaked, fine. But Dems should be shouting from the rooftops that Gaetz paid a minor for sex and the Republicans are covering it up. No 2-page letters calling for the release of the report. No expressing concern. Just put this shit on blast. That’s what the GOP would do
johnson will keep it to hold Matt under hostage
Every Dem on the Committee is like "oh but we signed a paper to promise not to leak it" as if the immediate follow-up from every reporter shouldn't be "so to be very clear, your position is I Signed A Secret Agreement To Keep The Public From Knowing A Pedophile Is About to Become Attorney General"
Like for the love of GOD these useless fucking cowards need to at least be forced to own up to what their addiction to decorum and inaction actually materially IS, rather than letting them hide the ball by citing procedure rather than the *actual effects* of that procedure
I mean why would anyone want to know, right? Like, who cares what the future top law enforcement official in the country did. Plus, how bad could it be if Trump picked him. He only picks the very best.
💧💧💧
I have full confidence it will be made public in some manner
They will reap what they sow.
I think we need to just come to terms with the fact that there is no resistance - the democrats aren't going to do shit, they fucked this up epically and now they are just going to cower in fear, compromising with fascism along the way if they think it might keep them within the margins of power
Every Republican is a predator
I can see why Trump likes him
politicalamericans.com/matt-gaetz-y...
It probably also implicates other lawmakers and cronies. Explains why they’re going out of their way to suppress it, although it’s having the Streisand Effect!
This must see the light of day.
My husband and I both love your work. Great to see you here
Thanks again, Merrick fucking Garland
Self-described moses running cover for a pedophile rapist who wants to run the DoJ. Cool.
Johnson doesn’t want the report released as a matter of principle. That’s all. The principle being that if the Senate saw the report there’s no way in hell they’d confirm Gaetz.
Since they oppose the release of the report and are all for "making up a story so that the American public is talking about it"... Gaetz report confirms Matt engaged a minor on a couch later f**cked by JD Vance.
To be clear, they are protecting JD Vance, not Gaetz.
Where is the DOJ?
Still don’t understand why they chose not to prosecute
Can't SOMEONE leak it, for God's sake?
Good ploy, Matt will not be chosen for cabinet. Smoke and mirrors
We need that report! Looking for leakers. Though in this rape culture in this era, I don't see much fallout - so sorry to say.
Even more reason it should be released.
I'd be impressed if he somehow is worse than I think he is
Speaker Johnson is a coward, just like his most recent predecessors. The GOP is full of gutless zombies. They let their party get eaten alive by the predators of the far right, extremist hate mongers bent on carving out their own power crazed ambitions.
Somebody better leak that report
Surely there must be SOMEone brave enough to leak this.
If there was one time when Democrats should pull a page from the GOP's handbook, it's right now. There's no reason why they shouldn't be on the steps of the capitol, accusing the GOP of being a party that protects sexual abusers and Trump has no problem with employing them.
I don't think Mike Johnson has had an honest, independent thought since he became Speaker. They should start calling him a Remote-controlled Trump doll: Push the button in his back and Trump speaks!
The GOP has zero issue with real pedophila
Let's all take this moment to remember that the guy who monitors his son's internet activities to make sure he doesn't look at p*** is now actively protecting a known trafficker of minorities. Truly, a great Christian is Mike Johnson... 🙄
"Merrick Garland's DOJ cleared Matt Gaetz and didn't charge him. Are you alleging Garland is part of a cover up?" First, those are two different things. Second, yes, kinda. The guy has been so afraid of slightly inconveniencing the GOP so as to be ineffectual.
This should be illegal. The American people deserve tk know what was found. Hackers? If you're listening...!
Of course it is...no one tries to hide good stuff.....
So I guess Johnson is against porn but pedos are cool. 🤔
It's enraging how pple like Johnson, his ilk come out to wave the flag of "Norms, protocols & rules" to protect ppl like GAETZ, themselves all while wholesale dismissing "norms, protocols & rules" when it's TRUMP who wants to trample them: sidestep advise/consent & fbi BG checks. These pricks.
Leak it! Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak it!
When there is disqualifying info about a potential ATTORNEY GENERAL you GET THAT INFO OUT!!!!
Matt’s a freaking creep. 1) “almost never” 😬 2) …it’s half your age PLUS seven, not MINUS 😬😬😬 3) so you were doing even more shitty things 11 years ago? 😬😬😬😬😬
It’s time for a sudden leak🚰
The democrats can leak the report.
Pin the cover-up on him
Drip drip drip!
Can't someone just "leak" it?
someone's gotta leak it - which dems were on the committee?
Gaetz was re-elected to the house. His resignation is meaningless stunt to avoid the ethics report. The ethics report should still be released as it pertains to Congressman-elect Gaetz who is slated to be re-seated in Jan.
thehill.com/homenews/hou...
Hmm 🤔 the Speaker of the US House of Representatives refuses to release the report on Congressman Matt Gaetz sexual deviant trafficking and sexual assault of minor girls . So much for the party of law and order or family law!
Why is this charge being investigated by the senate when it should be investigated by the police
That’s so Christian of him to conceal something so damning.
Won’t somebody think of the children?! No, not you, Gaetz
Maybe he also attended…
I’m assuming the Speaker himself figures prominently in the report.
everyone on the house floor saw the video….
No worries. This report will be leaked. Guaranteed.
Prerequisite**
This is rich… they actually WANT an alleged pedophile in office
It needs to be leaked. Gaetz cannot be the AG.
Trump said Putin denied 2106 election interference “very strongly.” Guess the same from Gaetz will be all the “evidence”that Trump needs to keep Gaetz’s nomination in place. Remember Roy Cohn’s first rule: admit nothing.
I hope he can't get away with refusing to release that report.
If he doesn't release it, someone else will
I hope you are right.
Or he wants to protect Trump’s nominees.
umm?
It also probably triggers his porn alarm…..
Makes one wonder why AG Garland did not file charges.
Someone needs to leak it in the interest of national security.
One of you has it. Just release it
Moses Mike is working towards his Fuhrer!
“Are you alleging Garland is part of a cover up?" Yes.
Ick
So, how is he supposed to be the people’s AG?
Careful If this is true trump might nominate him to the SCOTUS instead
Where are the Iranian hackers when you need them
Lunching with Elon.
*In my sister’s voice* Well don’t this beat all? Nominating a pedophile in the AG position? The powers that be can’t allow this thug back into the White House again. He belongs in a prison cell.
Dems will fold because of “tradition” and Johnson will continue doing trumps bidding until the next crazy thing happens and the media moves on. Rinse and repeat
The more that Johnson and other conservatives try to bury it, the worse it will get. Also Dems could subpoena the document...
@tedlieu.bsky.social demand the report be released. Talk about this every day. SHOUT IT LOUD. This is who Donald Trump is.
Says all you need to know about what’s in that report
This is one of my recurring thoughts. I often remind myself, regarding these Batman villains masquerading as public servants. The stories are far from the whole thing. They are only what's been unearthed. A small window into a huge sleazy criming organization.
Release the Gaetz report!
Funny, I thought this was the guy who was subscribed to a “no fap app” with his son. Seems like just the type to scarlet-letter a rapey fornicator.
There is precedent in releasing the report after a US rep resigns. It happened in the case of former Rep. Bill Boner, D-TN., two months after he resigned in 1987 and with former Rep. Buz Lukens, R-OH, on the day he resigned in 1990, so Johnson doesn't have an excuse. Call your Senator & US Rep!
The flood gates will open. Won’t be long now.
Will the Gaetz confirmation be a loyalty test to republican senators?
If anyone in that committee has a shred of integrity they'll leak the report
Certified lover boy? Certified pedophile
wop wop wop wop wop dot fuck ‘em up
I'm finding it difficult to believe Mike Johnson isn't in favor of legalizing sex with children.
If they hold it can the women who witnessed it (poor thing) come forward even anonymously? Sure someone would pay a pretty penny as long as her story is verified.
whoever releases this report is a hero
Will Garland go down as one of the most ineffectual AGs of all time? Just 4 years of tripping over himself and accomplishing nothing
Yuck!!!
Trump told him not to release it
I was hoping for the timing that he got through nomination, then it all came out, and then he spends a few weeks fighting calls to resign. Anything that mucks up their plans.
Does it matter? They're not going to say no to Trump. 🤬
if trump's administration in 2016 have already abandoned and denounced him, i sincerely doubt there won't be any establishment GOP willing to jump ship or go against the flow on important issues. just maintain optimism
If they do, great, prevents *one* awful pick and starts forming cracks. If they don't, I believe details WILL leak, and we get to and need to hold "allowed/voted for a pedophile AG" against almost every Republican senator.
We don’t win fights by fatalism. Every battle against fascism is worth fighting.
We might need to use the V for Vendetta method, however. Merrick Garbage will obviously never do his job, so we can't count on him. Biden's just as cowardly as Garbage, so we can't count on him for anything either, not even just to order Merrick Garbage to simply do his job.
I like this
✊
I feel like a better way to fight is to throw every punch that could land, and not worry so much that any one punch is unlikely to fix everything.
That’s not a fight. That’s passive defense and waiting for a chance that may never come.
Maybe that woman should come forward to a journalist so it can be made public.
Johnson is such a despicable, dishonest hypocrite. Just the fact he’s willing to protect a convicted felon who’s protecting a suspected pedifile is unconscionable. I really hope he burns in hell.
The lunatic fringe hypocrisy carries on.
Republicans have seen the videos and the tapes, even they were horrified.
