1. Bottom of the barrel scumbag....

just like his orange boss

[groundloop]

2. "Leaked Today" - I'll believe it when I see it.

There's nothing I put past the GQP, including covering up for a druggie pedophile.

[Permanut]

3. I'm with ya on that, groundloop -"Could be"..

How many times have we seen that?

[Fiendish Thingy]

4. Let's hope it gets leaked. Nt

[TheRickles]

6. All it would take is one disgruntled staffer.

[Fiendish Thingy]

16. Or one Republican who hates Gaetz with the heat of a thousand suns

I hear there are a few.

[JustAnotherGen]

5. It needs to be leaked

No redactions.

Biden can pardon the person who does so.

[albacore]

7. Won't make any difference...for two reasons.

1. trump is gonna make all his cabinet choices "recess appointments".....no review by anybody.
2. trump's cult won't believe anything in the report. "Fake news".

[33taw]

14. The upside is that it is a republican investigation.

Most republicans despise him.

[albacore]

22. Most everybody despises him...but trump's election shows they support anything with an R attached. nt

[CincyDem]

10. Recess appointment. No hearings. Count on at least 2 ugly years from AG Gaetz.

[BlueTsunami2018]

9. MAGAts will only want him MORE if it comes out bad.

Because they won’t believe it and they want everyone to run around with their hair on fire.

11. No matter what sort of "highly damaging" material is in the report,

it won't matter because nothing is highly damaging for GOpers. If Trump's sins and wickednesses that we know about aren't highly damaging enough to prevent him from being elected president, I can't imagine anything short of raping Cub Scouts at a cocaine orgy that would be highly damaging enough to keep Gaetz out of Trump's Cabinet. Maybe not even that.

12. "Highly damaging" is "highly entertaining" to more than half the voters.

Democrats need to get over the myth that Republicans care anything at all about ethics. Not only do most voters not care, they gravitate toward the entertainment.

Literally, more Americans will support Gaetz for Attorney General when they read about how he drugged and raped children.

Probably our only hope for saving our democracy is to shame the hell out of our Republican relatives and acquaintances. Ask them why they support this and don't let them shift the blame to Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden, like they always do.

13. This is Clearly One of the Rare Instances Where the yam Actually Tried to Reach Up to Someone

With a more elevated set of principles than he was raised with or ever conceived of.

Miller, not so much. Bannon? Yuckk!

[malaise]

15. Hope it's leaked

Rec

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. The Senate will see this report as part of Gaetz' confirmation hearing

19. Suddenly

all the RepubliCONs are realizing that they created a Frankensteins Monster every day, for the last 8+ years, and are also realizing that their actions may be past the point of no return, and are amazed that there is nothing they can do, but fall behind Trump once again....

[RANDYWILDMAN]

18. Johnson is running cover for Gaetz

Crimes..how very Christian of him

Repubs don't care, but the rest of Voters should

[not fooled]

20. His nomination might be the distraction

to allow the rest of red don's reprehensible nominees to slide in. Or get recess appointments without GQPee pushback.

Heard this on MSNBC last night (sorry, can't remember who said it)--the sh*tshow surrounding Gaetz and the "courage" of some GQPee senators in putting the kibosh on his nomination will exhaust their will to oppose red don's collection of freaks, so there will be no energy or will to oppose any more.

Gaetz might well be the sacrificial lamb. Plus he needed to resign anyway because of the impending release of the report.

[Johonny]

21. Trump will double down

Ethics is one thing we know he doesn't give a shit about

[NBachers]

23. oboy it's Gaetzmas
