The House Ethics panel does not release investigative findings after a member leaves the House. However, leaning on past precedent, the panel’s report said it “determined that it was in the public interest to release its findings even after a Member’s resignation from Congress,” while noting it did “not do so lightly.”
The release of the ethics panel investigation [Report Here] is a political smear operation against Matt Gaetz.
[42-Page House Ethics Report HERE]
Read the report. Notice how it is worded to cast the worst light possible…. Decide for yourself.

From the glass houses of Congress comes a paper wrapped around a rock. These people are sickening.
Expose them all. Where is the slush fund list?
Yes, turnabout is fair play – do it!
This is a weekend for Slick Willie the hero of the DEM party. However it is the RINOS who wanted this out. Matt will have his day in Congress and Senate in due time and he will fight back, hopefully. Let’s see if ELON does what he promised and release the FULL not blocked out Epstein Lits and Diddy list.
MTG said if the House released the ethics report om Gaetz that she would release info on all of them in the House including Epstein’s book and where the money goes, plus more. Let’s see if she will follow thru with what she said.
Go MTG, go. FallRINOs.
I have come to the conclusion that whomever the democrats and rinos come out against,
and often in the most vile ways, deserves a closer look and often my support.
Yes, somebody needs to tell them this because they are too stupid to figure it out themselves.
Yes! It is like they can’t read the room or the sky either . . . they think they are pushing a dark rain cloud to pour down on their target but it turns out to be a very sunny day!
I hope he goes scorched earth and releases all of the critters that paid out harassment claims. Every. Last. One.
Do it.
Hopefully he does have access to and releases every bit of the US taxpayer’s funds used to payoff victims of the congressional perverts
But it was only a mere $17,000,000.00 sexual abuse cover-up SLUSH FUND, stolen from U.S. Taxpayers.
A mere pittance in their rule / view from on high.
If he does he better be in office of some kind of office or it will mean NOTHING. As a joe citizen the media will not even cover it.
Elon’s X will cover it, and so will Tucker.
The irony…funny how free love and all the different sexes and transing and child trafficking and sexual misconduct on the border and elsewhere occurs to the little people and the illegals…is ok for little people…
But those who have a title or two and a law degree, are exempt???? They who push that upon us?
And they are protected??? The ultimate double standard….
Hypocrisy in its purest form.
The fight never ends. Just go back to the 60’s and Goldwater per the modern conservative movement and onto Reagan. The Country Club Republicans and the GOP has never been conservative only in campaigning and toothless messaging. In reality they’re the UniParty. Everyone if the GOP members involved in this release and investigation should be primaried.
What Republicans voted to release this? Disgusting. 🤢
Secret ballot, so no published record of the Republican scumbags that voted to release. I’m ashamed of my rep, who is the chair of the Ethics Committee to even hold the vote. But now the rule has been broken, publish them all. I’m sure that there’s a full file cabinet of documented incidents of Pelosi misusing her office for political gain.
Political gain??? HOW ABOUT THE INSIDER TRADING THAT MADE HER RICH!!! I can’t stand to look at her and the contortionistic facial expressions she makes.
They broke the rule and published, break the secret ballot rule. NO MORE SECRETS!!!
AGREED!!!
The ones on the Slush Fund List.
That is why folks must ‘contribute’ ONLY to believed MAGA individuals, NEVER to the Repugnance Party.
Yes to individual MAGA candidates.
H3ll no to anything related to winred.
FallRINOs
The whole Goldwater backstabbing opened my eyes back in 1964 and I was only five years old.
If a mere child can see it, what excuse do grownups have?
They are obviously not as smart as a five-year old.
Meanwhile, as the campaign of 1964 proceeded, in mid-October, the news was out that Walter Jenkins, an aide to President Lyndon B. Johnson was arrested in DC on an indecency charge in a men’s restroom at the YMCA on October 7th.
The UPI fanned the flames of the story, having picked up the news tidbit that Johnson’s White House had thus far managed to suppress.
The man was married and had six children but was also what we would now call “closeted” – it was devastating and mortifying to him, exposing his wife and children to the news. He stepped down from his job.
The remarkable thing was, Barry Goldwater declined to make anything of it, not wanting to add to the man’s suffering and misery as a means to attack the LBJ campaign. No “dirty tricks” in his bag.
“Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.”
“Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.”
I miss the good Barry.
Darn Val your folks must have been on the ball with the conservative movement-my folks were diehard “D’s” but my main thrill that year was the Beatles!
Yep. I saw “1964,” and said, “Beatles Invasion.”
I would like to see Mike Johnson’s investigation. They must have something on him …he seems bought.
The evil, two-tiered Swamp continues.
Can he sue the decision makers for libel? Or are they protected bc he’s a public figure?
What Democrat file can be leaked? Lindsey Graham?
Does anyone believe that the cadavers DOJ wouldn’t have prosecuted if there was any truth to these allegations? This is the swamp bubbling and belching their noxious gas. He should retaliate in whatever way he can.
I keep thinking back to Madison Cawthorne and his revelations about being invited to orgies and offered drugs… and after that, he was out. I would love to know who did the inviting…
I heard they have cages in the basement.
If they do, the wrong people are in them.
Unfortunately, Cawthorne went to the media without the receipts.
He should have had O’Keefe Media hook up his wheelchair with a hidden microphone and camera.
But he would have more credibility now with some shenanigans being reported.
Where is he now? He might be one who could give some credibility to the allegations or reveal the totality of who tried to lure him into the blackmailer’s nest.
It was Tom Tillis himself who called for Cawthorne to be investigated.
For insider trading.
is defamation aka attainder suit possible?
The Swamp needs to neuter Gaetz any way they can. He admits his 30’s were a time of pleasures and fast living…Bill Clinton would know all about such, along with many others in Congress. He did not have anal sex inside the Capital building with another male, nor was there a Fanny May partying outside by a fountain. Gaetz was not indicted by the DOJ– who did investigate his younger behaviors. He did not partake with P. Diddy in a “freak off” event, nor fly with Epstein to his party island or ranch in New Mexico.
The Dems are really all about “assassination” one way or the other, aren’t they? And they have Republicans who willingly want to help them day in and day out.
All one needs do is watch some You Tube videos of former Rep Gaetz performing his duties and it will become clear why he is detested by many in Washington.
Bottom line, I like this guy for his political gonads, plain and simple.
So let’s now release all of the other reports on all the members of Congress and Senate! All the money that has been paid to settle incidents!
That would certainly be in the public interest!
And, heck, we’ve paid for it!!!
Public Interest is not a one way street.
Their revenge for him being wholly against them.
And also to help ensure he doesn’t get named to Rubios seat.
Matt Gaetz said he might go ahead and get sworn in next session and go nuclear on all of them – looks like they fired the first shot. Now he can shoot back.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/matt-gaetz-threatens-rejoin-congress-reveal-lawmakers-metoo/
Yes! We voted for him in a landslide and there is wide support here in the Panhandle to do just that.
They can’t blackmail him any more.
If Gaetz was a RINO or Democrat this would not be released. Period
I do not approve of his actions but according to the authorities in power he did nothing illegal.
Fox just reported his main accuser was a covicted perjurer and the two women involved were friends of …wait for it… the perjurer.
The Garland DOJ, not really a close friend of Gaetz, investigated it and found the charges meritless. Who are the three Republicans on the Ethics Committee? I’ll give odds they’re all RINO Trump Haters.
https://ethics.house.gov/committee-members/
Thanks! That also allowed me to note who the 28 members of the staff Are!
28 staff members-Wowzers?!?
They are going crazy on Twitter.
But those are some serious accusation if true then why has
Gaetz not been arrested or charged? Maybe because things
are not as they appear?
If Merrick Garland’s corrupt DOJ couldn’t find anything to persecute, oops! prosecute Gaetz with, then we must consider this “ethics investigation” to be what it is, a smear campaign,
Why isn’t Biden in jail for showering with his daughter and his dog (hmmm, now where is that diary!!!)
(Good dog, yes biscuit, please don’t be offended, I’ve been wanting to do that since I first saw your pseudonym, I’m a huge animal lover)
Lol, no problem. 🙂
Thanks! 😌
A little off topic…
Bad cop; no doughnut
I decided quite a while ago that a CONgressional ethics committee that would expel Rep George Santos before a criminal conviction was not worthy of listening to.
Nothing has changed.
Not in the least interested in reading a smear from the pens of hideaway misfits who place their shame in concealed corners of congress. In truth, swamp creatures would not be able to survive in the vile poisons from their depths. Congress is a black hole of slime. Gaetz needs to take his place voted for him and make his presence known.
Garbage report, by an unethical panel.
No different from the J6 panel.
I started on page 10 and it looks like they are trying to say Gaetz is guilty of what Greenberg (Florida tax collector) did….. I didn’t complete the read because it’s a bit boring and seems like nonsense.
Looks like there’s more than one person causing fear to the soles in Washington, D.C.
There can be no justice in releasing an investigative report if it is a mix of truths, half truths and lies. At least in a proper court of law witnesses can be cross examined and their lies can be exposed through their contradictions and false witnesses face punishment. None of this is possible from this type of report. There can be no justice when it is he said vs she said and without tested witnesses. Much that is accepted when women accuse men these days is hearsay and gossip often presented long after the supposed incident when the human memory can no longer be trusted.
It’s almost like the GOPe-led committee is on someone else’s team.
I read that the leader of that committee voted to not release it.
Before or after he made sure that at least one member of the R’s was going to?
Ha!
I am not listening. Lalalala. Swear yourself in and take the oath! Do your diligent duty.
Welp, I suppose what is really going on here is that they see Matt Gaetz as a rising star with a whole lot of potential.
This is what they do when someone is over the target, they work to take them out.
Like Rush always said, they follow a playbook -and we’ve certainly this move plenty of times.
As soon as I heard government commitee I figured no good
I wonder if Kevin McCarthy is prepared for the counter attack that will be coming his way?
Who’s the 1 R who voted to release the damn thing? Guest, R-MS & Ethics Committee Chair, said on record that he voted against release.
These are the other R’s on the Ethics Committee:
Anyone have reason to suspect one of these 4??
It’s a trick.
They are releasing this on Gaetz now to try to get conservatives to downplay it and make excuses for Gaetz, so that when the Epstein/Diddy stuff comes out on the Democrats and Hollywood crowd, and it is coming out soon, they can point at conservatives and say “oh yea? What about Gaetz?” Ignore it.
Just one more thought. I thought the popular notion was that powerful men had women throwing themselves at them all the time and got it for free. Guess not. Maybe it’s the old joke from Two And A Half Men: “I don’t pay women for sex. I pay them to LEAVE afterwards.”
How many House and Senate members paid for sex. I would posture minimum 50%. ?
How many lobbyists “parties “ did they attend where sex was abundant and free.?
How many overseas jaunts did they attend where young women, if not girls/boys were available. ?
It goes without saying many are guilty of same so-called ethics complaints as Gaetz. Some worse. Only they used the slush fund for legal fees and payoffs, to cover them up.
Release the names and deeds of members that used the slush fund NOW. We should as a nation of tax payers demand them seeing as we pay the bills.
Potential blackmail of our Congress must not be accepted .
It’s the easiest thing in the world to accuse someone of “ethics violations.” The incidents always did not happen yesterday. And there’s plenty of incentive for “witnesses” and/or “victims” to say anything that sounds good.
Even if, as with Trump, the “victim” doesn’t remember when or where.
Well as long as they didn’t do so lightly.
“Specifically, the Committee undertook a review of allegations that Representative Gaetz may have:”
May have? If he did why didn’t the committee say so?
Dem smear 101
Congressional Ethics=jumbo shrimp
…
Nice precedent. The public interest! Now release the Epstein and Diddler lists.
Now you’re talking Leann Rimes’ language.

… “We’re the common man. We don’t trust any of these. No one trusts the government. No one trusts the common news. We don’t trust any of that anymore. Independent news, we are the ones that own the news now.”…
He may re enter the house in Jan and get his Retribution and release the list who used the 17 million in congress.
This is a great plan, PDJT and Mr. Gaetz are getting them right where they want them.
If his is released and it is setting precedence then can you imagine what they have in store for the real criminals ?
Popcorn time…..
Gaetz posted this last Thursday, rebutting the report before it was issued. Why didn’t the DOJ charge him if there was any there there?
https://x.com/mattgaetz/status/1869406920768917618
Of course the good news is that Gaetz was reelected for the 119th Congress and now I believe that he will carry out his threat to be seated since he was duly elected and then publish all of the ethics reports for all of the sleazebags in Congress and how much money the taxpayers had to shell out to hush things up.
The precedent is now set. Release ALL records of ALL members of Congress, past and present, with special attention to those who’ve availed themselves of the ‘me too’ slush fund, courtesy their friendly U.S. taxpayers.
Gaetz is a MAGA firebrand. Like Kari Lake and President Trump he must be destroyed from political power. The globalist uniparty in action. Not so MAGA Mike SOTH should have interceded and stopped this from happening. Unfortunately he’s in on it.
I was hoping DeSantis stepped up to be a better America 1st and chose Matt Gaetz for Senator.
Would the Senate refuse to seat him?
Am going to assume former Rep. Gaetz knows who his accusers are, the details of the time said allegations occurred and will come out swinging to defend himself and/or his actions and guess, if said allegations are not true he will have absolute grounds to sue not only the accusers but the politicians and federal employees that decided to release the investigative report.
Not going to read it because I can only absorb so much sleaze in one lifetime and following and not looking away has almost filled to the brim the sleaze meter as it is and need to keep some room open for when something that really matters gets exposed.
On another note – if this is the best revenge that McCarthy can muster, shows how pretty weak McCarthy and his kind really are.
Gaetz also took PPP money and stuffed his pockets
that is my disqualifier
GOOD RIDDANCE
Checking reaction for surprise, alarm and despair…..checking……..checking……..”sorry, page not found”……..
I won’t bother looking at the report because the House is anything but “ethical,” so why bother? I don’t trust these people as far as I can throw them.
How about suing the Congress for interfering in the election by hiding payments made on behalf of uSA Congressmen to silence actual/allegations sexual assault.A lso, is there a way to use law fare to get a Congressman under oath, for whatever, and ask them if they have benefited from that fund and if they reported it as a campaign donation.
It would seem likely that more wokey, Democrat womyn accuse right of center men of improprieties than the other way around. It could easily be that many/most accusations made against Congress people are complete baloney.
I don’t care. I don’t care what is or is not in the report because it is being released on spite. However, I would vote for Matt Gaetz to spite them. Just because the bastards released this report, he gets future votes from me.
Nice precedent.
I am looking forward to seeing ethics reports released on ALL members of congress after they retire.
Let’s start with Pelosi.
What makes you think the “ethics reports” would actually be ethical?
McCarthy has his hands all over this. They are disgusting. The precedent of not releasing a report on a departed member has been in place for decades…premised on the basis that they have no way to fight back.
Gaetz should show up and take his seat and then confront his accusers and file a privileged motion to release the slush fund list.
You simply cannot hate these people enough. You just can’t.
Gaetz should now accept the seat he won in the November election and go scorched earth on the hypocrites. He already spelled out how he could do that and now that the report is out, he should stay in his seat and practice proctology on the committee and the House in general for their settlement for sexual harrassment accusations–I’m sure he can create many an enlarged sphincter on some very deserving congress critters.
