Honestly writing articles like this, “someone will consider….” Should be license to have your ability to read and write beaten out of you.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This was pretty much assumed to be dead in the water after Gaetz resigned. It could have been, but the fact that the Republican-majority house committee isn't 100% jumping at the opportunity to sweep things under the rug is a thing that's happening. Maybe it won't go all the way, but they are discussing. That's a thing that's happening.
Now, if it were one of those "(person) should do something" or "(committee) could do this thing that's in their power on paper but totally in the author's imagination in practice" things, sure. But you've got people talking about releasing a report on someone arguably not in their jurisdiction. That's something.
They are meeting to decide whether or not to release the report. This is quite literally something that is happening.
They won’t.
I wouldn't be surprised if they don't, but I'm not as confident as you are, as the committee is split 5/5 and there are republicans calling for its release. Additionally, we're two years out from any election, so they have a bit more freedom to act on their conscience rather than just bow before Trump.
However, none of this changes the fact that this article is about them meeting to discuss whether to release it. Something that is happening.
Spoilers: they won't, it'll leak, they'll deny it
Just fucking do it already. It's not going to change anyone's mind. Trump is a pedophile rapist convicted of fraud. Gaetz is just a pedophile rapist. Republicans support rape as long as the rape victim suffers as much as possible.
no notes
It's be so sweet to see Gaetz out of work. He resigned to take this position, the report gets released, and he doesn't get AG.
Ideally, he gets prison time. :)
He’ll be a Fox News host if he doesn’t land this gig
A candidate for Secretary of Defense you say?
Apparently that would be enough to qualify him for Secretary of Defense
oh, it’s ok, he learned his lesson.
~12 minutes later~
-Susan Collins, probably
Pardon
HE SAID, "IDEALLY HE GETS PRISON TIME!"
They might have a fully open staff to employee after Trump finishes naming his secretary picks. After all, the only thing more qualifying for a senior government position than hosting a TV show on Fox News is hosting one on NBC
I'm guessing they will not. Because party interests.
Release the Pedofiles!
“Consider” — that word is doing quite a bit of heavy lifting here
If this is not Mafia, I don't know what is!
Release it, you fucks
