Mike Johnson busted by former GOP official for lying about Gaetz report

Raw Story  

House Speaker Mike Johnson's protestations that it would be unprecedented to release what is expected to be a damning House Ethics Committee report on now ex-Rep. Matt Gaetz was demolished on MSNBC on Saturday morning. During a panel discussion on "The Weekend" the Louisiana Republican's dismay that the report may be made public before Donald Trump's attorney general candidate faces a Senate confirmation hearing led him to state, “I’m going to strongly request that the Ethics Committee not issue the report because that is not the way we do things in the House, and I think that would be a terrible precedent to set.” Former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele, from his perch as co-host on "The Weekend," wasn't having it on Saturday morning. co-host Symone Sanders Townsend asked guest ex-Rep. Joe Walsh before adding, "I know the Senate has asked for it but it would be unprecedented to release a report about a member who is no longer a member." "Actually, it would not," he repeated, "because the House has done this before on a number of occasions in the past where reports have been released, when the member has subsequently left the House."
