'Truth always comes out': Florida Dems jab Matt Gaetz after Ethics report released

Raw Story  

Florida Democrats declared Monday afternoon that an ethics investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz proves he shouldn't be on Capitol Hill. “The Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress,” the report said. “The Committee’s position that it may nonetheless publish potentially defamatory findings about a private citizen over whom it claims no jurisdiction represents an unprecedented expansion of Congressional power that threatens fundamental constitutional rights and established procedural protections,” Gaetz’s lawyers said, according to PBS News. "The findings from the House Ethics Committee report confirm that Matt Gaetz belongs nowhere near the halls of Congress or in any other elected office.
