Gaetz doing anything to stop the house ethics report from coming out. He literally just retired from national politics to try to avoid its release. Wtf is in there.
dude was re-elected, he’s going back to congress in january
That’s not guaranteed.
you were absolutely correct!!! huzahhh!
I seriously think he decided not to take an office he’d already won because it would take away the one justification the ethics committee had to not release the report, i.e., he is no longer a congressman. The more he’s willing to do anything to not have the report come out, the more I want to know wtf it says. Presumably it must be more than was already known, otherwise why so scared? It was already leaked that they have testimony that he had sex twice with an additional separate 17yo, so maybe that’s it, but it feels like there must be more than that. I’m wondering if the new testimony didn’t implicate other Republicans or something.
Damn. You’re right. I still think the fact that he resigned from congress stated he didn’t plan on being sworn in, and then when he realized he AG pick was putting extra pressure on the committee to release the report, withdrew himself from consideration speaks to that report being particularly damning. He’s doing massive contortions with big impact on his career to avoid it.
It’s almost as though it contains proof he’s a rapist and sexual abuser or something, which is bad if your a congressman, but ironically give him excellent presidential potential.

Doesn’t mention that she made her goal in life to get rid of the ACA.
Basically this is a rare “good” pick for Trump, terrible for everyone else. This is someone who is arguably qualified for the job and has a track record of making things worse for everyone else.
Lobbies for the Qataris, has worked for Scientology, and so many other interesting tidbits in there. Might this be a more damaging appointment? Gaetz would have been reckless and certainly dangerous, but she’s someone who knows the system well and has ties to America First Policy Institute.
And then there’s this:
In 2013, Bondi persuaded Governor Rick Scott to postpone a scheduled execution because it conflicted with a fundraising event. After questions were raised in the media, Bondi apologized for moving the execution date.
In 2018, Bondi joined with 19 other Republican-led states in a lawsuit to overturn the ACA’s bans on health insurance companies charging people with pre-existing conditions higher premiums or denying them coverage outright.[16]
