Shocker.
Orange-clown-tard's whole movement is chock full of these creeps.

Weird, the Justice Department didn't find anything criminal that they could bring to a court but we're supposed to just accept an Ethics Committee report chock full of unprovable testimony hidden behind "Woman X" aliases about all these crimes he committed?

That is a good point.  From what I have read, the Justice Dept dropped the investigation because they didn't think the witnesses would be credible before a jury.  It's easy to see a scenario where the DOJ said, "I think he did it, but if we fail to convict him, it will look like we persecuted him because he is Matt Gaetz.  That's too big a risk at a time when we are being accused of weaponizing the government."  

So the Biden-controlled Justice Dept dropped its investigation and the Republican-controlled Ethics Committee kept going.  The Ethics Committee was doing a wider investigation than the DOJ was.  The DOJ was just looking into the sex trafficking, but the Ethics Committee was looking into all that other stuff they laid out in their statement.

"...prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress."

Plus, the Ethics Committee didn't have to worry about whether a jury would believe the charges, just whether they themselves would.  And apparently, they did.
