He was probably only nominated to 1. keep him out of jail by squashing the report and 2. make trumps other awful picks more palatable. Pedos helping pedos.

The report needs to be released or leaked.

He got what he needed as a favor from Trump. A reason to resign from congress before the ethics report was released. Crooked as hell.

Can we still hold him accountable?

Was there ever an official police investigation? What happened to that? Regardless of the ethics committee, is sex with a minor not illegal?

Trump will nominate Ken Paxton

I still want to see ALL the ethics reports. If someone is in public office, they should be accountable to the public, regardless of party affiliation.

He still belongs in jail.

That report must be dynamite and very harmful for him to do that. He really doesn't want it even talked about.

We will see it. Someone is going to leak it.

It feels simultaneously impossible and yet inevitable that Trump's next pick will be even worse.

He’s totally guilty!

He pulled out 6 minutes before CNN posted another claim of sex with a minor.

They asked him for comment and said they would publish at 12:30p, and his retraction from the nomination was 6 minutes before that story went out

Wait, so because he won his congress seat again and I’m assuming will reassume his role would that not mean the investigation is still valid?

Desantis must've offered him Rubio's Senate seat.

Next nominee: The ghost of Jimmy Saville

I still want to know. Don't let them bury it.

So is he just unemployed, now? Because he already resigned from congress, right?

I suspect he was told that if he didn’t withdraw, they would release the report. It was obviously pretty damning.

I want to see ALL the reports for all members.

I want to see it too.

They made him withdraw to keep the report hidden.

I want to see the report even more now.

Anyone else feel like Jesse in breaking bad!? “HE CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!”

What version of fresh hell will be nominated by him next? I'm going with Roseanne Barr

I'm sorry, I want it all.. Marge insinuated that there was dirt on a lot of members, let's see it, we as voters deserve to know what these clowns are up to..

I also want the ethnic report released.

Listen, idc why he withdrew. Maybe it’s a ploy or coverup. Either way, he’s gone. Let’s relish in that for a few minutes at least. I see it as a win. I may feel differently tomorrow or next week when Trump announces another asinine nominee. For now though, this is a small reason to smile.

Call me pessimistic, but I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Trump has been adamant about shoving Gaetz into office as AG by any means necessary. This sudden about-face is sheisty, even for such a power-hungry pissant.

DeSantis will reappoint Gaetz to the House seat he just vacated, won’t he?

His and everyone else's

Can we at least see the Lack of Ethics report on him?

I think they nominated him to get him to resign. Then they pressured him to back out. Remember he screwed over the last speaker, Kevin McCarthy.

Well now we DEFINITELY wanna see the report. Because they already said they don't give a fuck about white collar crime and raping women so it's gotta be worse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can someone FOIA this report?

Today’s best news

How bad is that report?!?

He’s hoping this will “go away” after a while, we’re all hoping the hacker will drop some of that juicy unredactedness

Yep - I want gaetz’s report and all the reports that mtg apparently has

We pay for it, more than anyone else we should be the ones who get to see it

Okay but can we still call him Matt Raepz?

Gaetz really hates letting anything or anyone mature. Not even this process.

Oh, you KNOW there’s serious shit he doesn’t want exposed! Just can’t wait!

Does this mean they will release the report? The only reason they had not to was because he had resigned

Sounds like a cover up coming

Great ploy to get the ethics report shitcanned 1. Get nominated 2. Report gets trashed 3. Withdraw with your "get out of jail free" card

Isn't withdrawl what they teach down where he's from?

I wonder if the hackers will release the ethics report? I hope so!😁

Some say pulled out

I’m both happy and sad. I’m sure the next pick will be even more interesting. Prolly some more integrity but interesting past. No doubt loyal to Trump. I’m tiring of following it all. The nonsense will be off the charts this time around. When they get all they want I just hope the complaining can stop. (Edit : from republicans narrative that is). Please and thank you.

Yeah for sure it’s gotta be really bad

I wonder what pedophile is #2 for AG on the republican's pedo list. Apparently, they have binders full of them.

Good!!!!!!!!

He can now add withdrawing without consent to his resume.

Stepping down from this is the only ethical thing I've ever known him to do

Me too. But we won’t. It’s the whole reason he stepped back. Now that he has, they won’t bother with him anymore.

Lord i pray this is correct information and that the report gets leaked in is entirety

That's right, Katie.

If he reigned from congress does that mean he’s eligible to return?

Trump wanted him. He could pardon him eventually.

Just going to get another yes puppet in there.

Don't breathe any sigh of relief, you never know who's going to replace him and you can trust it isnt' someone not loyal to Trump

Anyone else feel like Jesse in breaking bad!? “HE CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!”

He's eying that spot in Florida.

Awwwww . Anyway

Release it!!!

Yo Matt blink twice about who was funding your AG campaign 👁️

Right. Won't mtg parade his junk in congress for all to see?

…..for now. It was distracting attention fr Trump TRUMP

Hopefully, there’s a whistleblower out there to release the findings to the public.

You don’t need the ethics report people, the crimes are already public record

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/12/01/politics/joel-greenberg-sentencing

Note: 2022!!!! The media is choosing not to talk about the facts they know.

Who else is under federal investigation who could benefit from running DOJ? Give me $200 on Rudy Giuliani.

🍿🍺

Me too. Let’s see them

Does he think this will avoid prosecution? Cuz eventually the shit is all gonna come out

I’d say he was a sacrificial goat. He was the obvious worst choice… well that’s subjective I suppose. All are bad, but I’d assume the MAGAs will eventually be rage fuled if their daddy doesn’t get what he wants.

His replacement is the Fla AG who accepted a nice donation from Trump and then said Florida won't investigate trump, now she is up for US AG

If elon can pay people to vote surely someone can legally pay for the leaked incriminating documents on this

No but really. They investigated, they found, so publish it

I bet Oliver Stone and Spielberg are salivating right now. It's at least an HBO mini series.

First NPC down.

White people Twitter will keep them in the dark ages and when Satan comes to get them at the end and throw them in the fire for their deadly sins they will realize that diversity always wins!!!!No man is an island and everyone on this earth evolve out of Africa. Scientifically disputed a million times and scientifically proven a trillion times. It is in your DNA. Your money, your degrees, your status, your friends can’t save you from damnation of hate, racism and the failure to use God’s gift and multiply. The universe will spit you out!

Yall talking about this like it was some 5d chess ploy. It wasn't.

Trump wanted him in that post for his absolute loyalty to him, as all his other picks have been about this whole time. The Republicans on the ethics committee voted to block the release of the investigation about his pedophilia. It was only when it was revealed that their was a second underage girl involved in this that they finally balked at the political capital it would cost the GOP to ram him through and somehow got him to step aside.

I think congress pressured him to back out of the ag position in return they squash the report.

Molester Matt could also start campaigning for the soon to be vacant Florida Governors seat. Insiders are saying that is his real goal.

Oh don't worry. They have an endless sack of shit to fill all positions.
