It's interesting.  I googled, "why did the DOJ drop the investigation into Gaetz," and I learned, the DOJ investigation actually started during the Trump administration.  That investigation was into whether Gaetz had sex with underage girls.  Nothing else.  The DOJ under Biden then dropped that investigation.  The HEC investigation apparently involves a lot more, namely, the sex with underage girls, PLUS, whether he used illegal drugs, accepted improper gifts, gave special favors to personal contacts, and obstructed the HEC investigation into all of that.

It's just so fishy.. Democrats had almost total control for almost 4 years and with a big name like Gaetz in their sites, they would have thrown that guy under the prison and would still be grandstanding on it.

Remember, the DOJ investigation started during the Trump administration.  Garland inherited it.  So maybe he said, screw this, I don't want to waste my time going after members of Congress, and since the DOJ had asked the HEC to stand aside while the DOJ investigation was going on, Garland figured the HEC could handle it and he had better things to do.  So he dropped it knowing the HEC had their own investigation and they could handle it as they saw fit.
