Gotta be something big to quit congress after being reelected and then decline the cabinet nomination used to justify pulling out.
This sounds like something serious. Someone should search his couches!
Vance will search them for free
He quit to end the Congressional investigation. Was on his way out one way or another. This was just his attempt to fall upwards.
Maybe they’ll add him to the DOGE roster after this. You can fuck all the teenagers you want over there and nobody will complain
To be clear, he resigned from current Congress. He was still reelected to next Congress.
He said he was not going to join the 119th Congress either in his resignation.
that house committee report must be pretty spicy for him to toss away his legislative career just to keep it from being made public.
not so quick, maybe you are running from something, we should look into that. We wouldnt wanna spend all that tax payer money on nothing.
Please don’t nominate him for anything else. He resigned from Congress. This could be incredibly hilarious.
Edit: and if any Democrat on the ethics committee doesn’t leak the report they should all be primaried and removed from their posts.
He’ll make a run for governor. DeSantis is term limited and his seat is up in two years.
Note that while he resigned from this current Congress, he did get reelected to the next Congress, so he’ll still be a US rep in Florida once the session starts in late January. Just kind of an extended two month vacation really.
Maybe not, according to https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11/21/us/trump-gaetz-news/5e296b83-bf2f-50cc-96b8-5049b764b8a9?smid=url-share:
Absent extraordinary events, we do not expect to see Gaetz back in the House next Congress. When he submitted his resignation to the House last week after being tapped for attorney general, he wrote: “I do not intend to take the oath of office for the same office in the 119th Congress.”
It is always possible that Gaetz can invoke the ancient privilege of “SIKE!!!” And take it all back. But then the ethics report will get released…
Resigning from the 119th congress is essentially an admission of guilt at this point. Whatever is in that report will most likely remain sealed as long as he has the cover of being a private citizen once again, which is why he turned these two opportunities down - to keep the evidence of his wrongdoing under wraps so he can’t be held accountable by either the public or the justice department.
So, Matt Gaetz is a pedophile and a child molester. And knowing the state of our shitty fucking country he’s probably going to get away with it.
as long as he has the cover of being a private citizen
Man, if you get elected into ANY government office you shouldn’t be able to be considered a private citizen.
But now who will be the more dangerous but more palatable nominee that Gaetz was running a screen for?
Guiliani.
no, see, in Trump’s head, Guilliani is a loser because he couldn’t escape having his stuff taken by the law
