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.

I don’t care they are all corrupt m fers. I hope God helps the innocent here. And the others can go pound sand
this ^^^^^^^ 100%
535 of them are corrupt and need to go!
oh, but but, rand paul has released his cute, meaningless festivus report
he must really love us sooooo much and has our 6, right?
f that enabling evvil do-nothing clown, and the other 434 too
Paul is yelling about putting Fauci in jail again
I’m old enough to remember he said the same thing last year!
We’ll all feel a sense of relief if Fauci goes to the pokey.
His tweet is like bait for Biden to pardon Fauci, then Rand can say “See look at what Biden did he knows Fauci is guilty but now I can’t do anything about it, aw shucks”
If he intended to actually do anything he would not make any public proclamations foreshadowing it because he wouldn’t want to tip anyone off..
yep, rand often is assigned ‘designated yeller’ duties
and, according to plan, nothing remarkable ever comes from the staged theatrics
no different than the less than worthless sen. kennedy
btw, isn’t kennedy about due to offer up another one of his cutsie little one liner quips soon?
pos, both
I would LIKE to really like Rand Paul – but then, why didn’t HE show any guts against McConnell regarding recess appointments for President Trump the first time around? Wouldn’t it have taken only one Senator to display some guts?
Maybe that’s why Rand Paul got beat up and had broken ribs. He doesn’t want that to happen again because it might be worse next time?
As much as it may pee off Gaetz, I am glad they did it. Now, we must demand to see everything on the others, and in particular those who have resigned, or are resigning.
House Ethics ???
Trust God.
Fear not.
What do you call an oxymoron when it is presented by a bunch of morons?
A congress of vultures.
I think it’s called “The Debt Limit”
Moronic Oxymoron !
House Ethics is an oxymoron
Is Kevin McCarthy scheduled for numerous tv appearances right about now?
Such pettiness, and it will backfire as all petty things do.
We have a country to save you bastards.
Get to WORK!
Wonder what kind of skeletons there are in mccarthy’s ‘closet’…
Diddy-esque skeletons
Who is that roommate guy he had? Frank Luntz. I wonder where Kevin lives now? I noticed his wife didn’t come to his installation as the speaker.
Kevin has a wife ? This cat gets stranger by the minute ( never inspired trust IMHO ) .
Bum buddies with Frank Lutz
Time for Matt to go “Harper Valley PTA” on CONgress!!!
Oh, I remember that song so well . . .
that summer of 1968 as we were headed to the beach in the Mustang, Mom had the radio on and it was constantly playing!
I still have it on vinyl 😆😅
Too funny I posted that song/recording with the clip of Barbara Eden playing Mrs. Johnson in the OT thread just a couple days ago here. I can safely say “she wore her mini-dress into the room” ’tis true. The song doesn’t lie.
That. Is a great record – Jeannie C. Riley. Yes, ma’am 🙂
Madison Caldwell already did. They saw he lost reelection.
That would be Cawthorn.
Why are they so afraid of Gaetz, or this is just McCarthy’s payback? These people will all get primaried. Do they really want their political careers to die on that hill?
Whatever the Uniparty says to think? Do the exact opposite.
Gaetz should have kept his zipper up. These are the consequences.
There is much worse out there of course but he stepped on his own johnson.
He was enjoying the single life in his own way
Excesses? Probably
Nothing criminal
MOST in Congress are also stepping on their own johnsons… and not only are MOST not investigated, it’s just accepted without a second thought. Ask most any spouse. Same goes for state legislatures. This is yet another version of a weaponized, two-tiered justice system … but it’s okay this time? Why, because it’s Matt Gaetz?
This aside, RINO FL Rep John Rutherford is on the ethics committee. He was investigated for some questionable timing with his stock trading. Oh, but he was ‘cleared’ and I am quite sure his report was not released to the public. He hates Gaetz (and vice versa). He was also one of the reps who backed McCarthy and refused to vote for Jim Jordan during the speaker fiasco. My bet is he is one of the Republicans who voted to release the report.

Pardon me, Your Holiness, but I must assume that since you go by the name of “Mike”, you must have attended some bachelor parties in your time. Or, maybe you are a celibate monk. Be careful about being so judgemental about youthful indiscretions unless you are a celibate monk.
How can you even say that?
Have you spent a minute digging into the real story?
The scum bucket that made the allegations against is in PRISON for attempted shake downs and criminal defamation against MANY – including a high school principal.
AND child trafficking a minor. 17. Turning her into a prostitute.
He’s in prison. Gaetz is 100% innocent. Yet he has grounds to sue every media outlet and the “ethics committee”. And Mr Gaetz will.
Did you know that?
Or did you know the DOJ spent 18 months trying desperately to pin just something on Gaetz – then walked away empty handed. Were you aware.
Sorry. You are smearing Gaetz. Period. No different than then the ethics panel.
I would say that Former Congressman Gaetz is over the Big Swamp Target. Not fooling MAGA for a millisecond.
Go get them Tiger, and run them out of their swamp out into the deep Gulf! Success Future Governor Gaetz!
Say what you wanna say about George Santos, but he voted MAGA and the Uniparty was quick to get rid of him based on accusations at the time. You also had the strange case of Roy Moore who said openly he was going to go after Newt McConnell and McConnell promising he would change laws to make sure he could not serve. How about Madison Cawthorn?
I couldn’t find an article about McConnell threatening to change Senate laws to stop him but I did find this. Note the cast of Uniparty Senator traitor names. Very familiar to us on the Treehouse
Mitch McConnell Tells Roy Moore To Leave Senate Race, Says ‘I Believe The Women’
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mitch-mcconnell-roy-moore_n_5a09c540e4b0bc648a0caa60
The really stupid thing about the attacks on Roy Moore – characterizing him as an old hillbilly from the hills apparently preferring to marry a young girl was very discriminatory to Southerners in general, it was a trope, a stereotype – yes, his
wife was indeed young – but they turned it into a criticism of the man –
but no problems with Da Nang Dick meeting HIS wife when she was 16 years old when he met her on the tennis court at the country club during a mixed doubles match and that’s who he married (after she graduated from college) in 1982 (he was born in 1946 so he turned 36 that year). Da Nang Dick was 31 years old and had never been married and then got put into a mixed-doubles game of tennis with this daughter of the very wealthy Peter Malkin and the rest was history.
I think McConnell worked with to Wash Post to see Moore lost and the Dem won. The Swamp is deep and wide, full of rotting debris and fetid as a sewer. Welcome to DC
I can remember how upset McConnell was with the possibility of Moore getting into the Senate. Why would that be? I’ve come to the conclusion, helped by Sundance, and many of our Treepers posts about this, that the Congressional puppets are really just sales people, pitching Orwellian Totalitarian legislation written by and for people who really control the everything whose names are not known to most. Kurt Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron” reflected that in a futuristic America where everyone was equal, through “Handicapping” and a secret elite ran the show from the shadows. Elections were done via lottery.
The great Enoch Powell seemed to understand this a long time ago. Cheers mate
Let’s release the list of congressional whoremungers,crackheads and sexual deviants in congress who have nondisclosure agreements with taxpayer dollars paying off the victims. I know one in Congress, who holds a very high ranking position, and I’ve known him most of my life, who sold cocaine at the end of the bar that I frequent Ted when I came back from Vietnam. I also know he beat his wife, but hey, he’s a Democrat so who’s counting Matt gets should turn the tide. It’s time for the public to know about these congressional critters.
I hope he sues.
FTA –
Gaetz responded to today’s report in explosive fashion in a series of tweets. This included testimony from one witness saying she “never charged anyone anything.”
“Giving funds to someone you are dating – that they didn’t ask for – and that isn’t ‘charged’ for sex is now prostitution?!?” Gaetz wrote. “There is a reason they did this to me in a Christmas Eve-Eve report and not in a courtroom of any kind where I could present evidence and challenge witnesses.”
“This is testimony from one of the alleged ‘prostitutes’ that you won’t see in the report!”
Gaetz then revealed testimony showing another witness admitting she was not a prostitute.
“ANOTHER ONE of the ethics witnesses who was an alleged ‘prostitute’ claims she was indeed NOT when actually pressed in a deposition,” he wrote. “This won’t be in the “ethics” report because of course.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/update-matt-gaetz-responds-house-ethics-committee-report/
The ladies should also sue!
Eventually, their names may become public. What then?
Will they forever have to explain that they are indeed not prostitutes? Pretty unfair.
Thank you, Sundance!
I have not read it yet . . .
but my initial thought was (to the RINOS): “Go ahead and make my day!”
Yes, I did notice how they intentionally made this sound as bad as possible.
This is embarrassing even for the deep state. The fear in DC is palpable and I love it!

“Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?”
Thank you for posting this! This extremely powerful column sums up what is wrong with politics!
Let’s have ALL the reports released of any members that used the taxpayer-funded slush fund to settle out of court other such allegations. Tara Reade can referee in what order they’re released.
I suspect Kevin McCarthy had a lot to do with this getting released.
I agree! He practically sold his soul to become speaker, he wanted it more tha he wanted anything, including putting his country and us first, huge ego, pass…
Self first and to hell with the country or the party
Practically????
Quote from John Adams via Brave search:
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.“
We need to look at those leaders who defy this principle.
I believe that the quote was SPIRITUAL (moral/religious) and EDUCATED citizenry. I am not correcting, Aggiegirl, only agreeing that with the world as it is, we could use a double dose of SPIRITUAL.
A very Merry Christmas, and a very Happy New Year, AG!
POS…total farce, just dickheads trying for revenge…they all can KMA….they are worse than the J6 committee…my they burn in hell….. LNL
He gets my vote.
The problem is that so many of us were alive and aware during the Teddy Kennedy, and Clinton eras.
2021:
President Biden raised eyebrows Friday when he praised former Senator Chris Dodd — and inadvertently referenced a notorious episode of alleged sexual assault involving the Connecticut Democrat and the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.).
Biden lauded his longtime Senate colleague during remarks dedicating the Dodd Center for Human Rights at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, saying he measures a person’s character by how they treat workers in the service industry.
“People who tell me they care about people and then disrespect the waitress or a waiter. People who tell me they care about how, in fact, people are entitled to be treated with dignity and walk by someone at a shoeshine stand and doesn’t say ‘hello.’
People who do not do the just simply decent things for ordinary people. That’s the real measure.”
“I’ve never seen Chris, figuratively or — speaking, walk by anybody,” Biden said.

Their infamous “waitress sandwich”.
Now that due process is a relic of a past long forgotten, release the Epstein tapes, release the Diddy tapes, and release the records of the Congressional Slush Fund,
These fools have opened themselves up to a massive libel suit. He has the exoneration from the FBI/DOJ as support that NO crimes were found after a very thorough investigation. They have claimed that he committed crimes with NO evidence beyond unsupported accusations and heresay.
He now needs to make good on his threat to rejoin the House and file a Privileged Motion to have ALL of the records of members who used the taxpayer funded slush fund to pay bribes and damages for the sexual assault and other crimes committed by members AND to release the ethics records of every member of the House including former members….THEY set the precedent.
Or do they get a pass bc he’s a “public figure”?
The “public figure” issue is with regards to suing in a court.
The rules of the House are separate from that. If the Rules allow Gaetz to file to release, then
he can force that to happen! Get it on! Release it all.
He has filed a lawsuit today;
Arizona youtuber, and attorney, is reviewing the lawsuit on his show now, among other topics:
Fine. Now release the names of those in whose names hush money was paid. As with Gaetz, we can sort out innocence or guilt later.
I, as a female, can’t wait to see which women are on the list LOL
meaning government officials
It has been said, that in politics, when one is being vilified, the persons advancing the criticism are the ones guilty of the sordid actions that they are accusing the particular person of. In other words, when taking flak, the target is in sight. Or something like that. I suggest some of the congresscritters are guilty of more severe actions than what Gaetz is accused of.
That’s his punishment for ousting Kevin McCarthy.
McCarthy’s revenge.
The House when deciding whether to release the report – “while noting it did “not do so lightly.”
Means they just couldn’t wait. Champing at the bit, even.
I wonder why they didn’t do the televised, solemn
march to a different room, while carrying the report.
You remember, like they did with President Trump’s
Impeachment.
My goodness they are so ridiculous.
During the Adam Schiff & Eric Swallwell gaslight operations, they claimed they had seen an abundance of PDJT-Russia collusion evidence but could not reveal it because it was “classified”. Turns out there was ZERO evidence.
How was this “evidence” gathered and authenticated? Is it real?
I don’t recognize any of the names on this report, but I do know this for certain. We need an ethics investigation on every asshole in the Congress. And, It should not be an internal investigation. I don’t know anyone who is not fed up with this disgusting, corrupt, and useless Congress. And at minimum they should be required to take and pass courses on Civics, Economics, and Ethics. They are truly worthless!
THERE IS A RAT AMONGST THE REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE ETHICS COMMITTEE.
Here are the (R) members:
Michael Guest (R, Mississippi) -Chair
David Joyce (R, Ohio)
John Rutherford (R, Florida)
Andrew Garbarino (R, New York)
Michelle Fischbach (R, Minnesota)
One of them voted for this. Who?
perhaps the one whose reelection date is the farthest away
thinking we will forget about it by then
which happens often because who can remember all their dirty deeds
Maybe, in the interests of equity, the ethics committee’s experts will publish full details of the Congress slush fund used to cover up ‘indiscretions’. The precedent has been set!
Otherwise you’ll end up with a government as corrupt as ours……
Let he who is without sin cast the first asteroid-size stoney meteorite. Gaetz should take his seat in the new Congress and let the House ethics committee take further action against him if they feel the need to — all of them knowing full well that the contents of every ethics investigation ever conducted against any current or past House member will be eventually leaked to the press. It’s only a matter of time before that happens, so they might as well get it over with and move on.
Well, that shows that he is very feared in Congress for some reason. I wonder what that could be? Also, I think that Kevin McCarthy is a jealous, ugly and vindictive man, who couldn’t wait to launch this smear.
Mccarthy s revenge
I love Bannon continuing to play “Harpers Valley PTA” song. So appropriate. Big nothingburger. I really wish Matt would come back and swear in with the new congress and go after all the pay offs by the “ethics committee” for sex escapades by long term members of the Congress. How many millions have been paid out to protect those members? At least $15 to $20 million. Probably a lot more.
That house is full of scum bags unlike Gaetz.
Absolutely correct…
Gaetz should take his seat in January that he was duly elected to…
Was anyone on the committee against releasing the report?
It just makes me support Gaetz even more. Anybody that the globalists hate THAT much must be a pretty good guy.
We tick the box on all of the signs of the end times. Stay prepared.
Intended for the other thread with the young woman burned to death.
More Democrat lawfare and smears against those they fear the most. Now they have no second act. Sunshine is the best disinfectant. There is no there, there.
Same miscarriage of justice, just like the Jan 6 committee, except Democrats get more of their rocks off than they did with their lawfare against Trump.
This says more about the people who released the report than it does Gaetz.
Hes already come forward and addressed this in an open way.
Now let’s see the reports come out on the Ethics Committee.
This release alone was not very ethical in its vindictiveness and I’d place a bet every one of them has committed worse sins.
As Bannon said, Matt should go in there & GO HARPER VALLEY PTA on them!!
Releasing that report is just a gross thing to do. Don’t care who or what is the subject. Scuzzy action anytime of the year. Especially dirty at the holidays. Hope Mr Gaetz stays away from those kinds of people in the future
Ladies, do not ever accept an engagement ring. It proves you are a prostitute.
Obama and Bush used cocaine and nobody cared!
Clinton was a coke runner and got away with rape and worse and nobody cared.
Biden got away with rape and no one cared about that either.
Hunter Biden got away with drugs, soliciting prostitutes, money laundering, and who knows what that else, and nobody cared.
and it was with his own daughter in the shower
I’m wondering if as a private citizen he can sue the crap out of this committee report members. It’s a nothing burger. If Garland’s DOJ wanted nothing to do with it, that speaks volumes about the whole sordid affair.
