BREAKING: Trumper Matt Gaetz is hit with devastating news as reporters reveal that the House Ethics Committee just reopened its investigation into the allegations that Gaetz had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old and paid her to travel with him.
But it gets worse for Gaetz
The committee will investigate whether Gaetz 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 Ethics Committee hasnt decided yet whether it will launch a special investigative subcommittee to escalate the investigation but it says that, if it does, the committee will announce it to the public and make the results of the investigation public.
The investigation into Gaetz child sex-trafficking had stalled but this Congressional investigation might be EXACTLY what is needed to jumpstart it again.

That's what I thought. Repubs just have such a low bar on this stuff, I guess.

Yeah, there's mostly bone, fat, and gristle behind that enormous forehead.

I think a lot of the Republicans are good with working a little bit with Democrats
