House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Friday that he does not think a House Ethics Committee report on allegations related to Matt Gaetz should be released and is “going to strongly request that the Ethics Committee not issue the report.”
OK whatever, why hasn’t anyone charged him after the initial investigation? I know you can get away with fucking high schoolers because of Christianity, but paying for sex is still a no-no in most jurisdictions right?
That’s not the reason, though. Imperfect witnesses are quite often at the heart of criminal cases – co-conspirators, jailhouse informants, etc. If that was an obstacle, no mobsters or drug lords would ever have been convicted.
The real reason is cronyism and political privilege.

There are problems with the case. The girl turned into a porn strar and is not a good witness. Another witness was found guilty of fraud and theft.
