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!

I know, right?!? If the report cleared Gtz completely they would have shared it with great enthusiasm. In this case the silence is indeed deafening.
I'm shocked the party of pedophilia would keep this under wraps.
Shocked, I tell you!
^^ok ^^I'm ^^not ^^shocked ^^at ^^all
GOP = Grand Old Pedophiles.
Gross Old Pedophiles
The committee is 5/5, Democrat/Republican. Care to rethink that comment?
Look, these people are playing a game we barely understand, at a level we can't comprehend, at stakes we don't understand.
Best guess from my dumbass? They let the "hacked leak" do the dirty work. The facts get out, but no one can point a finger at the committee. Bonus: A "leak" won't be taken as seriously as an official release.
And as to why Gaetz got busted in the first place? (He was my Congressman, so I've been following along closer than most.) He was a rich frat-boy who got into federal office long before he was ready to play. FFS, he was showing his "conquest" fuck pics on the House floor. Dumbass should have learned to play in the state House before he went national. He was a child among wolves, and now they're eating him.
Anyway, they're meeting again on 12/05. Let's see if they have the balls to release the official report.
A game we barely understand? Bullshit.
It’s a game of self preservation. It always is and has been. There’s nothing more to it. Preserve your power, make deals, and find ways to compromise and make yourself come out of top while making those that supported you have a win.
Let the leaking begin.
I had seen yesterday that someone was able to gain access to the report; it's time to post it, post haste.
I can “say” anything I want. I have pictures of Trump and Schiff making out in the backseat of a Honda Odyssey. Ask me to release them. ASK ME!
Can you release them please?
Pix or we won't laugh nearly as hard at what you claim happened, regardless of whether it actually happened or not. Please?
I thought there was report of a breach
If it is real, there is likely a bidding war between people that will release it and people that will bury it. The "hacker" is getting paid and doesn't care if it comes out or not.
It's already leaked. Waiting for the drop.
Can't wait to nothing ever happens to him. America needs to protect the pedos.
“I will say that a vote was taken,” Wild said. “As many of you know, this committee is evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans — five Dems, five Republicans — which means that in order to affirmatively move something forward, somebody has to cross party lines and vote with the other side — which happens a lot, by the way, and we often vote unanimously.”
If you're wondering who these politicians are that agree across party lines on ethical issues:
Republicans
Chairman Michael Guest, Mississippi
David P. Joyce, Ohio
John H. Rutherford, Florida
Andrew R. Garbarino, New York
Michelle Fischbach, Minnesota
Democrats
Ranking Member Susan Wild, Pennsylvania
Veronica Escobar, Texas
Mark DeSaulnier, California
Deborah K. Ross, North Carolina
Glenn F. Ivey, Maryland
I just read that one of the Democrats said none of that is true and there was no deal. So, I guess we’ll have to wait for more reporting.
I just read that one of the Democrats said none of that is true and there was no deal
I think you may have just read my quote and not the article< or there's a misunderstanding here.
What exactly do you mean "none of that is true"?
The quote doesn't say there was a deal, just that a vote was taken...
I'm sorry but if you don't release this report, you can't continue calling yourself an ethics committee, because you objectively aren't.
House ethics committee. They're arguing they don't investigate anyone outside of congress. They're not weighing in on the ethical actions of random people.
I mean it's a stupid argument since the investigation is about a member of the house. At no point was the investigation done on someone that wasn't a congressman during the investigation. It's just the dumbest, most republican-ass, totally unsurprising move. But, it's not like these Republicans are known for their ethics.
Has Trump nominated anyone yet that hasn't been involved in issues of sexual assault or harassment? Maybe Dr. Oz, but other than that, he's really knocking them out of the park. If the GOP starting getting critical of pedophiles, they'd lose half their caucus.
The ironic thing here is that the ethics committee is a shit committee. They don't have anywhere near the influence you think it does.
This is the most power the committee is ever going to have.
Someone who hafve nothing to hide would want it released. Lets face facts though, he could have been the ringleader of the pizzagate sex dungeon and these jabronies wouldnt care
So yeah what's the BTC wallet for that hacker group I'm sure they're taking donations yes?
