Ethics committee reopening investigation into Matt Gaetz.
Oh God, what now?
Innnnnnnnnnnteresting.
The Republican Party seems to have no issues with him hiring an underage whore, discuss amongst yourselves why not, but they seem to have issues with him breaking lobbying laws.
Funny story: House Sometimes Leader McCarthy is apparently just fine with this. Gee, I wonder why.
McCarthy is in the enviable position of not being able to stop this, meaning he can say things like "oh, oh, think of the children, oh wait Gaetz fucked them, um...think of the puppies, oh, oh deary me, oh" while a major thorn in his side is possibly plucked and discarded.House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told CNN this week he doesn’t “know anything about” the investigation, noting that he’s barred by House rules from discussing it with committee members. The Republican-led investigation into Gaetz comes as the Florida congressman finds himself repeatedly at odds with his party’s leadership.
“I never know anything on (the) Ethics Committee,” McCarthy told CNN. “I don’t know what investigations they have. I don’t know anything about it.”
Asked to comment on whether he thinks the investigation should move forward, McCarthy declined to do so and referred questions to the committee.
As speaker, McCarthy appoints members to the committee but is not involved in the processes of the committee’s work. The panel’s work is conducted in closed-door executive session, and the only people by rule who are allowed to be involved in committee investigations are Ethics Committee members and staff, a source familiar with the probe told CNN.
The source added that McCarthy has no power over the Ethics Committee’s investigation into Gaetz, and any level of his involvement would violate committee rules.

House Ethics and the FBI now have a witness testifying that she was paid to go to drug fueled orgies with Matt Gaetz and his friend Greenberg who was sentenced to 11 years in prison in 2022. She turned over the text messages, pictures and other evidence to the FBI and House Ethics committee.
"Hey -- any interest in flying on a private plane to the keys May 19-21?" Gaetz allegedly asked in the message, according to a source familiar with the correspondence.
Gaetz allegedly described the trip as being composed of "2 guys, 4 girls. A very high-quality adventurous group."
The woman, who was not identified in the report, replied, "Yeah I'm in."
The Florida lawmaker allegedly replied enthusiastically, "Fantastic. As is true with all time you spend w me, it'll be fun and chill […] You have a passport?"
at this point... I'm loving the GOP infighting...
