Has the House denied Matt Gaetz even a pretense of due process?
By Andrea Widburg
During his tenure in the House of Representatives, Matt Gaetz was a firebrand in the name of conservative politics. What he forgot is that there is no one more vindictive than a politician who is blocked from getting what he or she wants. So, when he left the House in November, he left few friends behind. That may explain why the House Ethics Committee has decided to go ahead and release its report on Gaetz. Gaetz, however, claims that he was denied due process, and if he's correct, this is an utterly sleazy, dishonorable, and vindictive act.
The news broke today that the House Ethics Committee will be releasing the report in January—a vote that it took in secret, which itself is sleazy.
The reason for the investigation was because Gaetz’s political enemies claimed for years that he had affairs with underage girls and even transported them across state lines. The thing is that the FBI and DOJ—both of which despise Gaetz and undoubtedly wish him at the bottom of the ocean—were unable to dig up any evidence that he engaged in criminal acts. What this suggests is that the House report simply says that Gaetz had a tawdry private life—as if that’s something exceptional for members of Congress.
