    Trump should have picked a Senator if he wanted to put a Pedo at AG. Nobody would be investigating a Josh Hawley or Ted Cruz nom.

      She got a hush appointment so she won’t be talking about ethics reports anymore.

      She never had any intention of releasing anything. She was trying to keep the Gaetz report from coming out.

    He can pull out now. But he may have already come a little

    too close to getting the job. Might have blown it.

    The house could birth an investigation that spawns many problems.

    Shouldn’t have been so childish.

    Oh well now that he’s not in contest as a nominee I guess no media is stopping him from taking any office.

    Roadblock cleared! Sephiroth him.

    Resigning from the 119th congress is essentially an admission of guilt at this point. Whatever is in that report will most likely remain sealed as long as he has the cover of being a private citizen once again, which is why he turned these two opportunities down - to keep the evidence of his wrongdoing under wraps so he can’t be held accountable by either the public or the justice department.

    So, Matt Gaetz is a pedophile and a child molester. And knowing the state of our shitty fucking country he’s probably going to get away with it.

      I’m hoping against everything else that Johnson will stop protecting him because he’s now not worth anything to them now and isn’t worth the political capital to protect 🤞

      as long as he has the cover of being a private citizen

      Man, if you get elected into ANY government office you shouldn’t be able to be considered a private citizen.

    i wonder if he’s going to transition into being another annoying right wing pundit. he was always more of a talker than a doer in the house, and i can’t imagine him going back there because of the pending ethics report. maybe he’ll take pete hegseths place on fox news

    Huh. I would have thought they left him in, even if it was as a lightning rod to attract attention while the other nominees all got through.

    Must have been he didn’t want to be questioned too much.

      If that happens, then they should release the report. At a bare minimum, he should never hold public office again.

    But now who will be the more dangerous but more palatable nominee that Gaetz was running a screen for?
