The U.S. House of Representatives Ethics Committee is set to meet Wednesday to decide whether to release its investigative report on former Representative Matt Gaetz, who was accused of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use before he was picked by President-elect Donald Trump to be attorney general in his new administration.
Just fucking do it already. It’s not going to change anyone’s mind. Trump is a pedophile rapist convicted of fraud. Gaetz is just a pedophile rapist. Republicans support rape as long as the rape victim suffers as much as possible.

Spoilers: they won’t, it’ll leak, they’ll deny it
It’s be so sweet to see Gaetz out of work. He resigned to take this position, the report gets released, and he doesn’t get AG.
Ideally, he gets prison time. :)
He’ll be a Fox News host if he doesn’t land this gig
Apparently that would be enough to qualify him for Secretary of Defense
oh, it’s ok, he learned his lesson.

-Susan Collins, probably
A candidate for Secretary of Defense you say?
Pardon
HE SAID, “IDEALLY HE GETS PRISON TIME!”
They might have a fully open staff to employee after Trump finishes naming his secretary picks. After all, the only thing more qualifying for a senior government position than hosting a TV show on Fox News is hosting one on NBC
Honestly writing articles like this, “someone will consider….” Should be license to have your ability to read and write beaten out of you.
Shut the fuck up
Report on things that are happening
They are meeting to decide whether or not to release the report. This is quite literally something that is happening.
They won’t.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t, but I’m not as confident as you are, as the committee is split 5/5 and there are republicans calling for its release. Additionally, we’re two years out from any election, so they have a bit more freedom to act on their conscience rather than just bow before Trump.
However, none of this changes the fact that this article is about them meeting to discuss whether to release it. Something that is happening.
This was pretty much assumed to be dead in the water after Gaetz resigned. It could have been, but the fact that the Republican-majority house committee isn’t 100% jumping at the opportunity to sweep things under the rug is a thing that’s happening. Maybe it won’t go all the way, but they are discussing. That’s a thing that’s happening.
Now, if it were one of those “(person) should do something” or “(committee) could do this thing that’s in their power on paper but totally in the author’s imagination in practice” things, sure. But you’ve got people talking about releasing a report on someone arguably not in their jurisdiction. That’s something.
I’m guessing they will not. Because party interests.

“Consider” — that word is doing quite a bit of heavy lifting here
