Probing Matt Gaetz’ life to see if there are ethical violations is a bit like probing a lake to see if it contains water, but hey, don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to see this actually occurring. The horse has already left the barn but we might as well document its droppings, right?

“The Committee is aware of public allegations that Representative Matt Gaetz may have engaged in sexual misconduct and/or illicit drug use, shared inappropriate images or videos on the House floor, misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use, and/or accepted a bribe, improper gratuity, or impermissible gift, in violation of House Rules, laws, or other standards of conduct. The Committee, pursuant to Committee Rule 18(a), has begun an investigation and will gather additional information regarding the allegations.”
If we lived in a world where ethics truly mattered, any one of these allegations, if proven, would be enough to toast Gaetz. All of them leveled at the same man at the same time, makes it one for the history books.
“All of them leveled at the same man at the same time, makes it one for the history books.”
Let’s hope he sets a new world’s record.
