https://www.euronews.com/2024/12/24/us-house-ethics-committee-accuses-matt-gaetz-of-regularly-paying-for-sex-illicit-use-of-drThe US House Ethics Committee has accused Republican Matt Gaetz of paying women for sex, including a 17-year-old-girl, and use of illicit drugs while the Florida native was a member of Congress in a damning new 37-page report.The House Ethics Committee has accused former Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz of “regularly” paying women for sex, including one with an underage girl, in a new report by the committee’s bipartisan panel.The 37-page report includes explicit details alleging the former congressman participated in “sex-filled” parties and vacations from 2017 through to 2020 while the Republican was a member of Congress.The findings concluded that Gaetz, Trump’s pick for attorney general, had violated multiple state-level laws related to sexual misconduct during his time in office.The report contains dozens of pages of exhibits and evidence against Gaetz, including text messages, financial records, travel receipts and online payments.The often secretive bipartisan panel has reportedly been investigating claims against the former Florida representative since 2021.“The Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favours or privileges, and obstruction of Congress,” the report said.Gaetz denies any wrongdoing and maintains his innocence, stressing that he has never had sex with a minor.The Republican slammed the committee’s findings, adding that he was in a long-term committed relationship with one of the women the report indicates was paid in exchange for sexual services.
In addition to soliciting prostitution, the Ethics Committee accuses Gaetz of accepting gifts, including transportation and lodging, in connection with a 2018 trip to the Bahamas that exceeded the congressionally permitted amounts.Last month, US President-elect Donald Trump picked Gaetz shortly after his victory in the 5 November presidential election to become his cabinet's top legal advisor, nominating him for attorney general.Gaetz resigned from Congress that same day, putting him outside the purview of the committee’s jurisdiction, and withdrew his name from consideration for office.Gaetz said the controversy surrounding his name was becoming an unfair distraction to Trump’s incoming administration.On Monday, Gaetz filed a last-minute lawsuit in an effort to block the report’s release.His legal team slammed the US House Panel for attempting to orchestrate an unprecedented move and stressed that, since his resignation, the former congressman is no longer under their jurisdiction.

>>1370622>On Monday, Gaetz filed a last-minute lawsuit in an effort to block the report’s release.kek
>>1370622>>1370638>His legal team slammed the US House Panel for attempting to orchestrate an unprecedented move and stressed that, since his resignation, the former congressman is no longer under their jurisdictionLmao this is pathetic. Just because they can't punish you anymore doesn't mean they're under an obligation to bury everything they found about you.No matter how hard the republicans tried to do so before they realized how bad the optics were.
>>1370621So where in this news article is the word "gun" mentioned? Or firearm? Or pistol? Or rifle? Or Shotgun? Or ANYTHING related to gun purchase forms?
>>1370649OP is baiting by making a Hunter Biden joke but Gaetz is a proud gun owner and, as per their findings, a coke addict. So he would've bought his guns while actively doing cocaine on the side, which if he'd said while buying said guns would've resulted in him being unable to buy said guns.OP is still retarded though.
>>1370641Yeah he's a sick monster, hanging around kindergartens preying on women like this.
>>1370654He literally is, which is why his own party voted to release the ethics report.
>>1370651If he was a normal person and not a former republican congressman he would have gone to prison for that already.
>>1370779NTA, how many people go to jail for lying about drug use on a 4473? Only drug use. Not drug use and trafficking.
>>1370785Ask Hunter Biden's attorney
>>1370789I'm asking you, since you claim a normal person would be in jail already.
>>1370790If a non connected American was known to law enforcement and to have solicited underaged prostitutes and possessed and used cocaine while in possession of a firearm they would be in jail.
>>1370790You're retarded.
>>1370796So again, how many people go to jail for lying about drug use on a 4473? Only drug use. Not drug use and trafficking.>answer: practically zero. Maybe one or two within the last ten years.
>>1370798Okay fuckface, show me some evidence that police are throwing people in jail for using drugs and buying guns. Last time we've had this argument there was only one guy given who was busted for drug use, because he sold a gun to a friend who later was an active shooter, but since he wasn't a prohibited possessor and the transfer was legal they couldn't get him on anything else.So one fucking guy. Every other example you fucks try to give it's for smoking weed + robbing a liquor store, or smoking crack + selling guns in Chicago, or smoking meth + illegal immigrant. Now show me a bunch of people who went to jail for lying on a 4473 for drug use ONLY.
>>1370804>how many people go to jail for lying about drug use on a 4473?I've heard of exactly zero of these cases personally. Not even hunter Biden goes to jail for this, even after he's been convicted.Lots of people do go to jail for being convicted of tax fraud though, except hunter.
>>1370809Just curious tho. Is "smoking crack +tax fraud" that much different of a different bucket of hooligans than "smoking weed + robbing a liquor store" or "smoking meth + illegal immigrant"? Sounds to me like hunter Biden fits fairly well in all of the examples you gave
>>1370785You're describing two different crimes.Lying on a 4473 is perjury, which is a felony. People go to jail for that shit all the time.>https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndms/pr/southaven-man-sentenced-prison-lying-form-required-purchase-firearmBeing a firearm owner while being a user and/or addict of an illegal controlled substance is also a crime, but this is according to the controlled substances act. So for example, weed is Schedule 1, meaning that you can go to federal prison if you regularly smoke weed and own a firearm (even in legal states).>https://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/22/22-60596-CR0.pdf
>>1370815Good post
>>1370621Nothing's happening to Exeter.Nothing ever happens.
wasn't all this proven to be lies
>>1370815>and stated that he was not currently under felony indictment when, in fact, he was under indictment for assault on a law enforcement officer.See? This is the shit that I'm talking about. DO YOU have an example of someone being put in jail for lying about DRUG USE ONLY - OOOONNNNNNLLLLLYYYYY - on a 4473? Yes or no? Holy fucking Christ on Christmas, it is not that hard of a question. If the answer is no... which is CLEARLY the fucking case... then shut the fuck up about how people "would have gone to prison for that already." We are not throwing normal people in jail for doing drugs while owning guns. That DOES NOT HAPPEN.
>>1370812I'm not a fan of Biden (Dementia Joe should be shot for how he handled Afghanistan), but the weapons charge on Hunter was bullshit. We don't charge anyone for that crime in the US, unless we're desperate to get any kind of charge.
>>1370822>We are not throwing normal people in jail for doing drugs while owning guns. That DOES NOT HAPPEN.The 4473 form literally says that it is illegal for you to own a firearm while being an unlawful user of a controlled substance, retard. Google it for your self and read it.
>>1370825And yet we haven't jailed anyone (save for one person that got the charge because the gov couldn't nail him on other charges) for this crime.So ---- once again ---- the claim that a normal person would've been in jail already is bullshit. Shut the fuck up, or show me a list of people that got jailed for drug use with a firearm.
>>1370826>And yet we haven't jailed anyone-https://www.dea.gov/press-releases/2024/06/13/armed-drug-trafficker-sentenced-8-years-federal-drug-and-firearms>According to court documents and other information presented in court, Butler became the subject of an investigation after Nash County Sheriff’s Office Deputies stopped his vehicle on May 31, 2023, and found cocaine, marijuana, marijuana edibles (THC), and a 9mm semi-automatic firearm loaded with 24 rounds of ammunition. First result on google, kill yourself.
>>1370828LMAO you fucking retard. Nice try being slick. I'll give it to you, it took me a few minutes to google some more of this guy (why the fuck it's so hard to pull up criminal records, I have no idea), but let me explain three reasons why you're either mind-numbingly retarded or you're deliberately being a dishonest cunt wasting my time.1) I'm obviously asking for people who were arrested for using drugs for their own PERSONAL CONSUMPTION... Not fucking drug traffickers LARPing as Tony Montana. 2) For some ODD reason this guy only got drug related charges for trafficking. He didn't get any charges for lying on a 4473 about his drug use... Prooooobably because (wait for it)...3) He was already a FUCKING FELON you stupid fuck! He did not get these guns from a gun store, because he already had a fucking prior record for - wait for it! DRUG TRAFFICKING. You dense mother fucker.>First result on google, kill yourself.No, you do the honors you fucking waste of oxygen.
>>1370830Uh oh retard meltie>Not fucking drug traffickers LARPing as Tony Montana.Drug trafficking is owning drugs and carrying it in a car. Much in the same way that Hunter's human trafficking was carrying a prostitute in a car.>He was already a FUCKING FELON you stupid fuck!Yeah, he's a "prohibited person". Much in the same way that being a user of an unlawful controlled substance makes you a prohibited person. Which you would know if you read the 4473 form.tl;dr uninstall your life.
>>1370830Wow anon, go implode somewhere else, your going to pop a gasket in your head or something, boomer
>>1370880>>1370904>normal people go to jail for drug use and owning guns all the time.>no they don't. Prove it.>DURRRRRRRR HERES A MULTIPLE FELON SELLING COCAINE WITH GUNS NOT OBTAINED FROM A GUN STORE (i.e. no 4473 filled out) IT'S TOTALLY THE SAME THING HOLY SHIT I'M RETARDED AND I LOVE COCKS OM NOM NOM>LMAO U MAD ANON I DEBUNK UThanks again faggots for proving my point. Normal people who go to a gun store, fill out a 4473, buy a gun, and then get caught smoking weed (or crack, or meth, etc.) do not go to jail for drug use while owning a gun.
>>1370916I know your in the middle of a melty, but please tone it down a bit, grandpa
>>1370917>lol u madLet me know when either of you can find a person who went to jail for lying on a 4473 about drug use only.>protip: you can't
>>1370919I'm pretty sure the person you were talking to has cited several examples already and you keep saying they don't count because of reasons
>>1370920>I'm pretty sure the person you were talking to has cited several examples alreadyHe hasn't. His last example was a career felon that did not buy his guns at a gun store... y'know because of the whole career felon drug trafficking thing?It's a very crystal-clear condition I set: "find a person who went to jail for lying on a 4473 about drug use only".
