The Congressional Committee on Ethics released this report today just before Christmas when everyone is preoccupied with the Holy-Days. Typical.

We will soon know if this is a nothing-burger, or the first round in a war between Gaetz and his detractors. Gaetz has said he would reciprocate by exposing other members of Congress who have used funds to pay off sexual misconduct claims.
On December 23, 2024, the Committee on Ethics (Committee) released the attached Report regarding allegations relating to Representative Matt Gaetz.
The Committee previously noted that there has been a significant and unusual amount of reporting on its activities during its review of the matter of Representative Gaetz, and much of that reporting has been inaccurate. The Committee’s investigations are conducted confidentially, but the Committee’s confidentiality rules do not prohibit witnesses from disclosing information about the Committee’s requests or conversations with Committee investigators. To the extent that any of the public reporting on this matter came from unauthorized disclosures of confidential Committee information, we strongly condemn such unauthorized disclosures, which are damaging and harmful to the Committee’s work.

More Losers Than Winners at the 10th Mass Meeting.
Friday night's Mass Meeting was the District 10 entertainment extravaganza of the year. Republicans turned out in large numbers to support their candidate. The Goochland venue was decent but needed more parking. The Credentials line moved well, and those still in line were accommodated until 7 p.m.
