House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) declared that the House ethics report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz shouldnt go public, Tuesday after Gaetz was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as attorney general.
After Fox News host Laura Ingraham asked Jordan, Do you have any sense about what will happen with that House ethics report that was supposed to come out Friday? the committee chairman replied, Well, its my understanding that its not supposed to go public. So if its not supposed to under the rules, it shouldnt go public.
Jordan went on to describe Gaetz as one of the best members we had on our committee, adding:
There are very few people who have the cross-examination skills he does, and I want someone in the Justice Department whos not going to say moms and dads in school board meetings need to be investigated. I want someone in the Justice Department whos going to say its wrong for the FBI to do a memorandum and say that pro-life Catholics are extremists. I want someone at the Justice Department who can tell us who planted the pipe bombs on January 6, who leaked the Dobbs opinion, who put cocaine at the White House instead of all the other stuff they seem to be focused on.

Obtain it and release it. It would be a Presidential Act in the name of national security. I'm not talking about destroying the constitution or violence -
I'm talking about something we the people paid for, it's ours, and I want it.

(1,593 posts)So if a Democratic member of the Ethics committee wants to release it, there is not too much that could be done. After all the repubs literally published the stolen Hunter's D pics.
Another thing I have not heard much about is apparently AOC was saying that Gaetz resigned from THIS session of congress, but he is also elected for the next session starting in January. So he could technically just go back to his seat if this falls through. So would the ethics investigation and report carry over to the next congress??
I don't think any normal rules or decorum apply to MAGA.

(142,215 posts)it would be up to DeSatan to appoint someone until a Special Election is held. And if the scenario pans out that he doesn't get confirmed (he won't be) or recess-appointed (that is a possibility still awaiting how Congress does their Rules for the 119th Congress), then he could be reappointed until the next Special Election.
HOWEVER - I think he said that he supposedly "timed" the resignation so abruptly so that DeSatan could potentially get a replacement in by January 3rd though.
