Although the committee alleged that Gaetz violated state laws, the panel wrote that it did not find Gaetz violated federal sex trafficking laws, writing that “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, nor did the Committee find sufficient evidence to conclude that the commercial sex acts were induced by force, fraud, or coercion.”
Why is MAGAs response to these revelations always "Everyone does it, stop targeting OUR guy", rather than just admit Gaetz, Trump et al are scumbags who broke laws and violated social and political norms? How about concentrate on the criminals being discussed?
As if half of Congress hasn’t done similar or worse. Let’s investigate them all. Not just the ones they choose to investigate themselves for their own political agenda.
I think we now need the DOJ report about all this. I think all reports on Congressional reps should be released. The congressional slush fund payments should also be released.
Whether it is true or not, he was not brought up on charges. So if this has been known for years and years and nothing happened then who held this information and why didn't they hold him accountable then? I feel like the information was being held as blackmail or over his head by someone. Those who knew and didn't bring him up on charges should be held accountable too. This is very fishy.

The report said this "INCLUDED A MINOR" according to CBS and Fox 13. But Gaetz didn't actually threaten these girls, he and his associates just used them for sex. Well, he's obviously been subjected to a witch-hunt, and should be voted in as A.G.
I think if someone thinks this kind of thing is something new or limited to a political party they you have to really be naive. Have we forgotten Jeffrey Epstein and his political guests? Have we forgotten Bill and Monica? The problem with thi kind of thing is the picking and choosing of which story to be morally outraged over.
Why is every other post "But what about OTHER people?" rather than grappling with Gaetz being Trump's AG pick when this report was out there and available to him via many channels? But... That's MAGAs. Easily duped willfully ignorant clueless goons for a lifetime sociopathic grifting con man piece of human garbage.

"The Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative Getz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress," the 37-page report concludes.
I guess the REPUBLICANS that control the House think that Matt can afford legal representation to either defend himself in a criminal trial or civil case if the accusations are false.
This info has came out a few years ago, doesnt surprise me of this guy............I am a republican, I think he's guilty too! It keeps coming up. And for Pete Hegeseth is someone we need to keep a very close eye on too. Both of them give me the creeps.
I agree Democrats are Republican should answer let alone American citizens for this kind of conduct. That's why I believe Biden and his family and his son should be held to the same standards
Release all the reports. Release all of congresses hush money cases let the people decide if they deserve to be in dc
I completely agree. They are ALL compromised
True. All hush money. But Gaetz gave money of his own

People are easily persuaded with propaganda. It does the thinking for you. Prove it in a court of law

After people failed to convict in the court of law, they wanted a trial by media.
Now lets see all of their dirty laundry in government
All of it…not just the Republicans.
I believe this is a smear campaign against Matt Gaetz and nothing more
As if half of Congress hasn’t done similar or worse. Let’s investigate them all. Not just the ones they choose to investigate themselves for their own political agenda.
You can't prove that because it's not true.
Agreed. If there is ever someone breaks the law and is not caught, no one should ever be exposed
This was a Republican lead investigation and Republicans voted to release it. Obviously Gaetz is a Trump/Epstein disciple.
@@cptr The logic you have applied to this situation tells me that this is probably the most intelligent idea you've ever had. Well done!
@ not sure how you deduced that from just one obvious declaration. Im constatly declaring clarifications for these situations on the interweb.
Remember: the House Ethics Committee is chaired by a Republican and made up of 1/2 Republicans. This wasn't a witch hunt.
Yes it was, by the uniparty.
😂😂😂 So no defense of Gaetz just a child's reasoning of "But other people do it too!!"
Every time.
@miguelvelez7221 innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Oh ya, no crime .
You're about to get sued for defamation. You're making declarations of fact.
Let's hope
The report makes declaration of facts. That's what it's for.
Not true! It states "allegations". The DoD decided not to pursue indictments on the same allegations - ask yourself why k@@GeorgeOzier-gr5zq
What happened to you conservative men?
Whatever happened to his “Family Values”? Shameful.
@WilliamPriceKing shameful is spreading propaganda as truth. Bring it to a court of law. Oh no crime?

From the same people that said Russian collusion and Biden was mentally sound.
Who, Forbes or the Republican's in congress that released this report?
Which people?
Literally not
Groomers coming out to defend Gaetz. Maga legacy = SHAME
I see the Gaetz defense squad is already here.
Whether it is true or not, he was not brought up on charges. So if this has been known for years and years and nothing happened then who held this information and why didn't they hold him accountable then?

Not that complicated. No victim, no crime, no case, no day in court, there's the evidence.
Lock him up.. 🙃

You left out the rape of the 17-year-old that once he knew was 17 he had sex with her multiple times when she turned 18.
The report said this "INCLUDED A MINOR" according to CBS and Fox 13. But Gaetz didn't actually threaten these girls, he and his associates just used them for sex. Well, he's obviously been subjected to a witch-hunt, and should be voted in as A.G.
Another fine pick by Trump.

Details come out on the Biden situation and this happens on the next day.

@@AnAmericanPatriot1555 a "sure thing honey" triggered what can be considered a "desist and cease" comment? bwahahahaha, you guys got nothing and you are very aware of it
Gaetz resigned weeks ago, because he wanted to keep the report from coming out. You have timelines mixed up.
Details out on Biden, so REPUBLICANS that control congress release a report on a REPUBLICAN?
Forbes encourages and supports this lawlessness and deviancy, don’t lie.
Yet they had no problems with him being elected to represent his district and make laws...smh. The entire system is corrupt.
Release the entire j6 files and indict those that destroyed evidence.
SICK
And what if none of it is true?
How do we know this isn't a bunch of lies like they did to Trump
It is.

Right. He was a young 35 year old.😂🤣😂
Thing is, the girls were young enough to be his daughters, but he was the young one.
@pennyb9983 you need to stop
Just a chip off the old TRUMP A GOOD REP.
The FBI investigated the case and found nothing!!!!! The 17 year old girl said that she didn’t disclose her age to Matt.
"The Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative Getz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress," the 37-page report concludes.
It’s almost impossible to overstate how absolutely insane it is that Trump knew all of this and still wanted to nominate him for the DOJ
Never mind Gaetz crying foul about the timing, I want to see him crying behind bars.
Matt Gaetz's response should be believed and acknowledged as potentially true, especially since the Democrat DOJ chose not to charge him.
Then charge him!!!! If true he should be in prison. Now release the rest of the congressional investigations.
Hunter got pardoned for alot of the same crimes 😂😂😂
was hunter a representative of Florida? or any other state?

An early front runner for the Republican ticket in 2028. His christian values are through the roof.
Why were so many facts omitted from the report? This was more than a honeypot OP. Much more.
What about the Epstein list? Why hasn’t that been released? Don’t get me wrong, Gaetz should own his behavior but you talk about unequal justice?!
Your personal view of "disGUSting" is not the point, lady! LEGALITY is the point, regardless of your views. (Keep 'em to yo own sef!)
They don't ask how can Gaetz defend himself? If the accusations are false, what happens to the accusers?
I guess the REPUBLICANS that control the House think that Matt can afford legal representation to either defend himself in a criminal trial or civil case if the accusations are false.
Stop
Definitely NOT fair reporting!
Martinez seems awfully energetically invested in submarining Gaetz! I wonder if she has a personal ax to grind?

Yeah but the Dems& swamp republicans will just “make” you a criminal if you don’t drink the koolaid.

But re-electing a 34 count felon, grifter & predator is perfectly fine, right?!?
so the pardon is next?
No
Can you say " defamation"?
I'm sure that Gaetz can afford to sue if untrue.
Who’s he gonna sue? All the media? 😆 It’s being reported everywhere now.

I would also remind this TDS woman in red that these are allegations not proven facts.. Also I believe the age of consent in FL and most states is 17.
It's 18. There are exemptions for 'close age' relations with a partner no more than 23 years old. Gaetz was over 30 at the time.
@wynpharoh1777 thanks for letting me know. The age of consent in a majority of states is 16 or 17.
