Gaetz report

2026-01-28 18:39:24.907807+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Meanwhile, 118th Congress 2nd Session House of Representatives — In the matter of allegations relating to Representative Matt Gaetz (PDF)

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.

Frankly there's quite a bit of that that I'd let him slide on if not for the hypocrisy and the ethics violations on the gifts. And that, yeah, the age difference in fucking a 17 year old is pretty damned skeevy.

Via.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
