Another great pick by the Trumpster

An attorney representing two women who were witnesses in the House Ethics Committee's investigation into now-former Rep. Matt Gaetz is calling for the release of the committee's report, telling ABC News that one of his clients testified that she witnessed the Florida congressman having sex with a minor.

"My client testified to the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed Matt Gaetz having sex with a minor," Florida attorney Joel Leppard told ABC News.

"As the Senate considers former Rep. Gaetz's nomination for attorney general, several questions demand answers," Leppard said. "What if multiple credible witnesses provided evidence of behavior that would constitute serious criminal violations?"

"Democracy demands transparency. Release the Gaetz Ethics report," said Leppard, who represents two women who sat for closed-door testimony with the committee over the summer.

Gaetz, who President-elect Donald Trump selected this week to serve as his attorney general, has long denied any wrongdoing, including have an inappropriate relationship with a minor. The Justice Department declined to charge Gaetz last year after a yearslong investigation into the allegations.

In a statement issued in response to Leppard's claim, a spokesperson for Gaetz said, "Merrick Garland's DOJ cleared Matt Gaetz and didn't charge him. Are you alleging Garland is part of a cover up?"

The two witnesses, who ABC News is not naming, both allegedly attended parties with the congressman. Gaetz's one-time friend Joel Greenberg is currently serving an 11-year prison sentence after reaching a deal with prosecutors in May 2021 in which he pleaded guilty to multiple federal crimes including sex trafficking of the woman when she was a minor and introducing her to other "adult men" who also had sex with her when she was underage.

The DOJ(Merrick Garland) tossed the case

They sighted unreliable witnesses and no direct evidence that links Gaetz to a crime.

That should be the end of it. After all if the DOJ, who will bring a case against any conservative for any reason, can't find anything the case is done.

Unfortunately the crooked politicians and the MSM want to make it a story.

The resistance is afraid of the dirt in their own closets and will try any dirty trick they can to tank Matt.

I wonder how much Garland got paid. A bundle I'd guess.

Garland is a hard left ideologue that only goes after Republicans.
