I just can't believe he won re-election in the first place. What the hell is wrong with that district he lives in? Even the creepy guy from Alabama or wherever it was years ago, couldn't get elected after the news of his proclivity for youthful encounters.

Same as Adam Schiff in Cal. Makes absolutely no sense how people elect same people over and over. Shouldn’t be a career.

I'm trying to figure out the line you're trying to connect here. Is it because Schiff was a part of the Russian election interference investigation? I don't see how that's the same as being a sexual predator and all around garbage human being. You can disagree with Schiff's politics, but I don't know of any criminal allegations against him.

I also disagree that being a politician shouldn't be a career. It should have some parameters for longevity, but also no one is forcing the voters to elect them so it's on that district or state to choose another representative. I just am baffled sometimes by the overall shitty people who get elected, but now with Trump winning 2x, I guess it makes sense that more of these scuzzy Senators and Reps. keep winning. In the past, they would have resigned and been condemned by both parties. We are seeing that character doesn't really matter that much anymore and the effects of these people being elevated to positions of power will be something that haunts us when the next generation of kids move in to adulthood. The examples of what it means to be a leader, whether in private or public service, is not a good precedent. I think any of us with kids in youth sports already see that impact.

He literally lied and said he had 100% concrete evidence that Trump colluded with Russia which we all know was a hoax based on the investigation. How much taxpayer money and time was spent with him knowing he was lying just because he and his party were Trump haters? 

Then you got the other guy Swalwell banging a Chinese spy, the House does an ethics investigation and takes no action. 

With Gaetz I already posted I didn’t think he was a good choice and wouldn’t get confirmed, but also the DOJ dropped charges. (I know it’s a big fetish here) 

what is your evidence of that?

And "we all" don't know that it was a hoax. trump famously said on live TV that he wanted Russia to intervene

Shouldn’t even need to waste time posting this for you. 

Care to retract and post a correction to your earlier statement? Is this what 100% concrete evidence reads like to you?

Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday there is "plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy in plain sight" regarding the Trump campaign and Russia. But he admitted that doesn't mean "there's proof beyond a reasonable doubt of a criminal conspiracy," saying it would be up to special counsel Robert Mueller to potentially make that case.

Proof beyond a reasonable doubt isn’t the same as concrete evidence? Where was the proof? What was it. He’s a lying POS, just like pretty much all career politicians.

And it’s weird that these people here are so obsessed with rape fantasies when none have ever been convicted or is there any evidence. Just guilty until proven innocent in AMT court of opinion. But when liberal media has you brainwashed it’s as expected. Enjoy your Maddow meltdowns again this evening. 🐑🐑🐑

Below is the link to the 966 page bipartisan Senate intelligence report on the issue of Russia and Trump campaign intermingling. 98% chance you’ve never heard of this, .05% chance you click the link and read any of it.

0% chance. Keep living in your Trump jail fantasy world.

I have no fantasies about it. There will be zero consequences for Trump from what’s in the link. The fantasy is the denial Trump supporters live in, and the required mental gymnastics to maintain it. That’s why you won’t read it. 

Are we about to find out how Matt Getts Off?

The House Ethics Committee secretly voted earlier this month to release its report into the conduct of former Rep. Matt Gaetz before the end of this Congress, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the matter.

The report is now expected to be made public after the House’s final day of votes this year as lawmakers leave Washington for the holidays, those sources said.

😂 I bet they scrubbed it clean 

There’s no scrubbing that clean.

That's the kind of Tweeting (Xing?) we want from our political leaders! Very professional.

From Letter From An American. How proud those POOTWH’ers must be? And Brandon’s hair sniffing bothered some to distraction but Matt Getts Off? Nominated to be USAG and not a peep. Weird.

Today the House Ethics Committee released its report on its investigation of widely reported allegations that while in office, former representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) had engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, shared inappropriate videos on the House floor, misused state records, diverted campaign funds for his own use, and accepted a bribe or an impermissible gift. 

The report says that the committee found “substantial evidence” that Gaetz had, in fact, “regularly paid women for engaging in sexual activity with him”; “engaged in sexual activity with a 17-year-old girl”; “used or possessed illegal drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy, on multiple occasions”; “accepted gifts…in excess of permissible amounts”; arranged official help for one of his sexual partners, whom he falsely identified to the State Department as a constituent, in getting a passport; tried to obstruct the committee’s investigation; and “acted in a manner that reflects discreditably upon the House.”

The committee concluded that “there was substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules, state and federal laws, and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, acceptance of impermissible gifts, the provision of special favors and privileges, and obstruction of Congress.”

It “did not find sufficient evidence to conclude that Representative Gaetz violated the federal sex trafficking statute. Although Representative Gaetz did cause the transportation of women across state lines for purposes of commercial sex, the Committee did not find evidence that any of those women were under 18 at the time of travel.” 

Gaetz is a staunch ally of President-elect Donald Trump, who tried to put Gaetz in charge of the Justice Department. That appointment would have him responsible for law enforcement across the United States. House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) tried hard to keep the report hidden once Trump had tapped Gaetz for attorney general, saying he “strongly request[ed] that the Ethics Committee not issue the report.”

The Ethics Committee at first deadlocked over releasing it, but Andrew Solender of Axios reported today that two Republicans on the committee, Representative Dave Joyce (R-OH) and Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), switched their votes to join the Democrats supporting the release of the report. 

Ethics Committee chair Michael Guest (R-MS) and Representatives Michelle Fischbach (R-MN) and John Rutherford (R-FL) all opposed releasing the report, saying that they lost jurisdiction after Gaetz resigned, which he did when Trump announced his intention of putting him in the office of attorney general. In their comments in the report, they said they “do not challenge the Committee’s findings” but object to their disclosure. 

Republican Party leaders were willing to put a man their own committee says likely violated state and federal laws into the position of the nation’s highest law enforcement officer. That scenario reflects the extraordinary danger of a country in which one party’s supporters see themselves as the country’s only legitimate governing party.

Brian Tyler Cohen, who today wrote: “Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor. Party of Family Values, am I right?”

Own that stink.

I get part of Johnson's argument that this is a report rather than case evidence, etc., but it seemed like he was leaning more on the "he's not a Congressman anymore so it shouldn't be released" idea which makes no sense. 

I wonder if he still does the wild partying maybe this report might help an unsuspecting young woman down the road.
