The House Ethics Committee has voted not to release the Matt Gaetz report containing credible allegations of sexual misconduct including rape of a minor and sex trafficking. 5 Republicans and 5 Democrats each voted, and the parties deadlocked. Guess which side voted to cover up the crimes?
Damn, how did I not see that coming. Welp, let the Blood Oath ceremonies begin in the senate GOP.
One of those 5 Dems needs to leak it.
Hmmm, let me think... the orange guy's cult followers?
🙏🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽
Wait so we can see Hunter’s penis but not Matt’s report?
Nothing to see I guess.
Republicans covering up sexual crimes? Never.
I'm afraid in the end, Trump will just ram M. Gaetz through using a fake confirmation hearing or recessed appointment anyway. Most Republicans no longer cares for "ethics" anymore. It's all about self/self-interests over country. But it's still important to have it for historical/future purposes.
Vile. It makes them just as culpable, and they need to be held accountable
Thinking, thinking, duh. Grrr
Our government is doomed.
Of course they did. They should all be on the sex registry. 😡
GDMFSOAGDB!!!
Honestly, how do they sleep?
How do they sleep?
If cult 45 can leak classified documents to foreign governments, someone can leak the Gaetz report to the people (who paid for this nonsense).
Cases like these should not be subject to behind-closed-doors voting. If an investigation finds any member of Congress or the Senate guilty, the findings and details must be made public immediately. Transparency is essential to ensure accountability and maintain public trust.
Haven't they figured out that wanting to "hide" it only makes one seem GUILTY as hell? I mean seriously?!
It's up to the hackers then.
Pro rape Republicans
Hunter Biden (WHO WAS NEVER NOMINATED TO THE DOJ) would like a word, please.
I really wish this surprised me
My guess is those supporting the rapist in chief
Let me guess, the "Party of Law and Order"? Welcome to upside down, inside out world. Don't try to make it make sense -- that way madness lies.
Is it the party whose leader has been accused of sexual assault and rape?
Of course they did. Cowards.
Just taking a wild guess here, but the Repubs?
I’m shocked!
MAGA IS A CHILD RAPING CULT
Which party was the party of "law and order" again?
I guess the GOP members didn't realize that their support of a coverup was undermining Gaetz and Trump.
The Repugnant Party?
I mean . A felongrapest is about to take the chair . Why we act all “ shocked “ is beyond me .
What crimes, George? Careful, don't want a legal note read-a-thon like the View had to do, now do we?
Hmm. That's a tough one Let me think Oh I know Trumps doormats!!
If it was truly hacked, I’d bet we’ll be seeing it before the weekend
fingers crossed
It's pretty obvious. Fine, the Senate will just have to drag all those witnesses back in for the confirmation hearings and it will all be televised. They could have avoided the circus by releasing the report.
American politics is really messed up if true.
Sickening.🤬
One of the Dems should just release the report anyway. (Just like the GOP would do if the scenario was the opposite.)
I am hoping the hacker will
I do, too, as long as the accusers' identities are shielded.
This is the PERFECT time to leak the report. After the Republicans voted to hide it
Tell the gop to eat a bag of dicks and just leak it.
I don't want to go through 4 years of acting like we're surprised when they show no ethics whatsoever!
But we already know. I just wish the ladies would sink him. They have this most epic chance to validate themselves.
I'm hoping they're holding the threat of that report being released to keep him from coming back in January.
Then someone needs to leak it.
Those Democrats have a duty to leak this information.
Can we rebrand then the House Esthetics Committee? Because they clearly only care about appearances?
I say we ask MTG to follow through on her “threat” and release ALL ethics investigations. They work for us, we should see ALL their actions just like they were an employee of a company.
The ones scared of MTG's threats of exposure!
“Ethics”
I’m not sure they know the definition tbh 😏
😂😂
5 to 5? Somebody else has an ethics problem.
They should release all the files of all the investigations of all the rephblicans
They should release the reports of all government officials. Their are corrupt people on both sides. Whether the reports say innocent or guilty citizens should be giving the facts to make decisions.
That's a tough one.
A fun, unconfirmed fact I heard today is that almost all registered sex offenders were also Trump supporters. Birds of a feather...
Is there no way to break the tie in a committee vote? This is bs
Do we get two guesses?
Would they still vote to withhold the evidence if it was their daughter or son who had been assaulted? Probably, unfortunately.
Not one republican on that committee has a spine
Morals and ethics are apparently very out-dated in one party.
I have to give it to Republicans they stand by their guy/girl no matter what. Democrats should take note.
Deadlocked isn't a final vote. Stop saying this is a done deal because it's not.
How do we know it's final?
It's deadlocked atm. The ethics committee is equal Dem & GOP so when deadlocked NOTHING has actually been decided one way or the other. This is how this works. For the GOP to imply that it's been decided, is not true.
Come on! This is ridiculous. They are such hypocrites, covering up for each other.
It'd be detrimental to release a report that allegedly includes the name "Tiffany Trump".
We just need one that will leak it to the press now 😇
🤮
So. Someone needs to leak it fast.
These people are 100% unfit for ANY office. This is about power, not service.
Gee, let me think 🤔 🤣😂
Shocker
Totally disgusting- we have a right to see this
It'll be leaked.
Crooks
They’re more interested in controlling bathrooms than exposing the actual dangers to women!
The criminal party? 🤔
LEAK IT!!!
They are meeting again December 5th.
Waiting for that great champion of transparency First Lady Elon Musk to call for the report’s release.
this isn't surprising. Not sure why social media folks still insist on posting these things as if it matters or others care. We've all become desensitized to this, and continuing to post about these things does nothing
When sanity returns, we can't do the whole "forgive and move forward" thing again. It emboldens them. Those who are doing wrong must face justice. Experience what they are trying to do to others. Exactly, the same.
If you vote for me you the American Electorate will Never have to Queue for Hours and Hours in all weather's to exercise your democratic right to vote ever again Potus elect 47. 🇮🇪🇪🇺
That’s ok. A hacker is about to release it.
Don’t hold your breath, nothing ever happens to those Republican pedos.
Now we know there's a there there. Otherwise, the report would have been released.
As expected. The party of crime.
I think that's one of those phenomena historians call "overdetermined"
2022257103 This is the phone number for the ethics committee in Washington. I would encourage everyone who is on my friends list to call them and complain about not releasing the ethics report on Matt Gates. This guy it has no experience and does not deserve to be our attorney general.
Oh, I know this one! The party of "law and order" and the party that wants to "protect women." What do I win?
Flash drives are small things, that can contain volumes of pertinent information. Funny how they might turn up just about anywhere.
both. Unless they were to read the report into record on the house floor
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I hope MTG does as promised
They will have another meeting Dec 2? It’s not decided!
This is BS now we spend taxpayer money to redo it. This is government corruption plane and simple. Insert what word fits our Republican house does not represent the peoples interest.
I liked this, but I don't know why.
Yeah, sort of wish blsky had different reactions, like FB.
THIS! We need at least a dislike option, like a broken heart :D
💔
I would like to see upvotes and downvotes like Reddit.
chng.it/McR7CmSyLd
That's some good family values there eh? This is disgusting.
Despicable.
I never really liked our government before, but this is next level...
I mean, im all for it getting leaked.
I’d say that’s five opportunities for someone to…I don’t know…Send it to the NYT?
We all know it’s all true, we don’t need a report for that! We do however need him to not be confirmed!
The Felonious Side?
No surprise there, Trump himself said he still has him as his pick 🙄
The party that believes Tara Reade? Weird.
That’ll be the Rethuglicans
If he was innocent he would want it to be released.
Criminals protecting criminals. It’s the GOP way.
Hmmm 🤨. Let me take a wild guess.. the ReTrumplicans??
If there was no crime they would have released it. They would have published in every paper. They would have shouted it from the rooftops. The cover up is normally worse than the crime. But sexual abuse and child sexual abuse cannot be topped. This man should not be in public office.
Whoever passes the report off to an aid to leak will be a hero.
Double standards Do as I say not as I do!
This is shameful. How dare these people put OUR children in danger like this.
Jesus Christ, not one Republican on this planet has courage or a conscience? How do these f*ckers sleep at night, look their children in their eyes, or pray to their so-called god? Pathetic
Hmmmm, how many guesses do I get?
Ethics, my ass. They disgusting me.
If I may venture a guess, the 5 Republicans voted to hide away all of the wrongdoing, and the 5 Democrats voted to share it. They all know what is in the report, and the Dems are on the right side of history.
We need that hacker to release anything they didn't then.
House Unethical Committee
Time to get leaky, right.
Sadly, the winning party
Why is it that Democrats have to follow every little rule. But Republicans didn't do whatever the hell they want? If the rolls reversed we would have seen this report already. Democrats are spineless, just leak it. It's not like the laws matter anymore.
Democrats always take the high road. Sadly, the low road is usually the only one that doesn’t dead-end.
I get your point, but wouldn't you think the gloves are off? If the Republicans had access to this and the roles were reversed we would have seen it already. There wouldn't have been a vote.
SO DISGUSTED WITH THEIR CORRUPTION.We must stop playing by the rules!
Someone just needs to Leak it. We know it's going to come out eventually, so better to leak it and protect the victims.
Mike Johnson won’t reveal his pornography addiction either
So it's an "ethics" committee. No actual ethics involved. Just like no actual justice is involved with our justice department.
Oh wow. I don't know. This is such a tough question to answer. I am going to have to think on this. 🤔 There might be a little (or a whole big heap) of sarcasm in this answer.
Cowards
Leak it! We have a right to know who is supposed to represent us!
Sad....Maddening.....yet Predictable.... How has our County come to this? 😞
Leak the report. Pass it on
We are never going to see it and DT will push his picks through. We're screwed.
Republicans on the Ethics Committee? Nah.
The same people that wanted to make the contents of Hunter's laptop public are now trying to keep the Gaetz ethics report from going public.
Good on the Dems for voting to release it. But...
So stuff will get leaked anyway
I guess I am confused by the term "ethics." Here they were ready to release it to the House until Speaker Johnson said "nein." So they vote on it again? Were they really ever going to release it?
Same one who is holding up a president elect who is also guilty of the same?
When is this pervert going to get his comeuppance. JFC 🤬🤬🤬
Yep, that tracks 🤬
Covering up so it cannot be proven and talked about. In a fascist dictatorship if you don’t talk about it must not have happened. God help us all!
Did anyone seriously think a single Republican would?
This 👆👆👆
Does USA not have a Freedom of information act?
The #FascistGOP ?
Republicans protect their rapists.
Their headcount in Congress would take a sudden sharp dip if they didn't.
They do it better than protecting soldiers!
I called it! I said Gaetz would resign from the AG nomination and get off everything Scot Free.🤦🏼🙄😡
I’m betting they planned it this way: Pick Gaetz, he resigns, no report released, Gaetz then declines the new job and lives on Scott Free, with a government pension. One felon helping another.🤦🏼🙄
His ego is way too large for that scenario.
See, I told you guys. I called it!
The MAGAt party is the direct extension of their demented leader. Devoid of common decency,lacking any morals,embracing our darkest impulses all while championing the violence & chaos needed to enforce their fascist dictatorship. Resist ✊
GOP = GROSS OLD PERVERTS
They sure as 💩 aren't the "Grand Old Party" anymore.
Grand old pervs now!
of course the GOP voted against releasing Matt Gaetz ethics report. We’re sure what’s in it. After all, a man who has nothing to hide, hides nothing.🤷🏻♀️
The MAGA/Republican Party is disgustingly corrupt. Covering for Gaetz is sickening.
I think that must have been the anti-rule of law Republican Party, right? I mean, they've famous for their love of rapists, criminals, terrorists, traitors, spies, cheats, liars, all that sort.
We know the report is damaging. If it exonerated Gaetz, the Republican'ts would have shouted it from the rooftops
I sure I would be guessing of seeing RED? I swear the GOP truly is the most corrupt party
If you have nothing to hide… and other common sense conclusions. What a world we live in.
Nothing says the report can’t be leaked.
OMFG
I say investigate all of them. Where are the hackers when you need them?
Only having 10 people on a committee seems like poor planning
The Dems need some photon torpedoes!
It’s what they’re best at 😤
The 5 democrats please? Must be all men too.
EPIC FAILURE by the GOP Ethics Committee members AND the DOJ for not bringing charges against him.
No one would block its release unless it speaks VOLUMES of Dirt and more that circumstantial evidence. THIS is why it was squashed by Bill Barr during the 45th administration of the IMPOTUS
Oh gee, one could wonder. Perhaps it's the party that refers to underage girls as ripe and fertile? www.google.com/amp/s/www.nj...
Crimes!
If anyone is surprised, they haven’t been paying attention.
If the report said there was no evidence that Matt Gaetz had raped a minor, they would have released it. They would have had it on the front page of every newspaper and all media outlets.
Hopefully someone will release it anyway. A true patriot would.
Shocker: Republicans voted to shield Matt Gaetz from accountability over allegations of rape and sex trafficking. When it’s time to protect the powerful over justice, we see exactly where their priorities lie. Ethics committee? More like the “protect our own” committee.
I sense a leak coming
Somebody needs to leak it now
Leak to me. I’ll read it verbatim. I’m serious. Won’t even use a single “substitute naughty” like how prostitutes become “nice ladies/gentlemen” due to YouTube’s need to keep things sanitized.
Is the the final answer?
I don’t think so
We pay their salaries!!!
Laying the groundwork for AG...🙄
If the report proves his innocence, it would've been released.
REPUBS Sycophants showcase themselves once again 🔥🤬
the party of law and order sure doesn't care about law and order anymore
you are right
The Mafublicans.....right?
My head hurts.
Why were only 10 people asked???
I would assume that there are 10 members on the Ethics Committee
Well that's some bullshit for sure... We gotta Unfuck this shit. NO FUTURE AMERICAN should have to deal with this.
Stealing unfuck this shit
Big eyeopener for me on how bad our govt operates and the lack of a justice system. And honestly, it would be nice to see some fire in the Dems. Investigations that never go anywhere b/c they are outsmarted. Mueller and Smith 🤮
We need to stop following the letter of the Law, when they have NO INTENTION to for sure, but then they'd say we're no better. If a Demand comes from the People, louder then they can act maybe??
Smith wasn't outsmarted, he was hamstrung by a crazy-eyed Florida judge and a Supreme Court dismissive of the U.S. Constitution. And it sure didn't help matters that Merritt Garland was more concerned with how things would appear, than what they actually were. Mueller, though, was a fool.
He waived the right to have her removed.
Ethics....what a misnomer....
They have absolutely NO Philosophy other than I don't like this so you can't do it. Ethics and Morality have always been a Sanctimonious way to say I think I'm better than you. 🤷♀️ HUMAN RIGHTS ARE NOT A PHILOSOPHY DEBATE.
Honestly why aren’t there 11 members?
Correct. I called the 5 Republicans on the committee today and talked to their staffers and expressed my extreme disappointment in hiding this report from the American people. Here are the committee members if you wanna give em a ring: ethics.house.gov/about/commit...
Because there are 10 members of the House Ethics Comm. 5 with spines and 5 toadies.
IKR
Criminals love criminals
You get 3 guesses, but you'll only need one.
If she had NOT been a minor the republicans would have released it. No doubt…
It is a felony crime in our society and invokes the worst of elected officials.
Someone in the media needs to hold the Christian GOP coalition to the fire on Gaetz.
Somebody leak the mfkr ffs.
