Rep Matt Gaetz should be taken off the @HouseJudiciary Committee until the @TheJusticeDept investigation is completed. He should not be sitting on a Congressional Committee with oversight over the DOJ while the Department is investigating him.

Why would Rep Matt Gaetz go on national TV and volunteer a new derogatory allegation about himself that hadn’t appeared in the press articles?

Gaetz mentions that someone has alleged there's photos of him with child prostitutes. He claims such pictures don't exist. [video of FOX interview]

1. Leave him on the committee - he can't vote from jail.

That will give Dems the advantage.

2. Agree - Get thee to the greatest page

RFN!

If he were a Democrat, very ReTHUG would have called for his resignation already.

3. Do it!

Another one bites the dust.
