He couldn't have been more wrong...
Still waiting to see this multi-year old ethics finding that seemingly doesn't exist
If it did exist, why are they still sitting on it?
Why would he resign to avoid it if there's precedent to release them after resignation?
What does putting Gaetz into submission accomplish? To prove they're scared of him?
Even if he submitted, why now?
Would this mean the people making him submit are failing to turn over criminal evidence for political gain?
Wouldn't Trumps intel sources know before making a public nomination? Why would Gaetz draw the fire if he knew?
If Trump/Gaetz knew, what stage does this set? what shoe drops next?
None of it computes, yet OP the intern thinks the public has a clue what really happens.

You're a theater kid, committees are theater... let me know once you get into a SCIF
I'd say he would have been more wrong if events hadn't played out exactly like he predicted. That's just me and my "normie" sense of what it means to be wrong, though.
reply
He's been larping about senate confirmations that aren't needed and ethics reports that don't exist
Dead ass wrong... but, he did have one interesting theory a bit ago:
Gaetz took a ton of the heat allowing people to get past Tulsi
Ignoring Tulsi, his being a meatshield exposes which Republican senators are controlled
Perhaps actually thinking about these things beyond superficial intern headlines is "fringe"

Yes, but as I explained before, "fringe" doesn't imply anything about correctness.
What makes you think the ethics report doesn't exist? It's an incident that was investigated by DOJ and he's despised by the members of the ethics committee. I'd be shocked if they weren't writing up an ethics report on him.

If they had it they'd have used it by now
If they had it he'd never had drawn fire
An investigation means nothing without charges
The allegations are years old and still no evidence, it's the Kavanaugh playbook... it's "the walls closing in" on Trump for the last 8 years.. it's Russiagate
What do they know? What's stage is set now?

So where's the report to stop him?

If they had it they'd have used it by now
The argument is that they did use it. That's why he's bowing out.
If they had it he'd never had drawn fire
I don't understand that claim.
An investigation means nothing without charges
Maybe it shouldn't, but it does.

I'm delusional yet you can't make any of it compute
Accept that you know jack shit, that's my only point
BANNON: This doesn't mean Gaetz can't be named as special prosecutor...
POPCORN READY

There's no evidence it was used, only evidence it never existed
If it existed they'd have used it before now, else he'd never had been nominated. There are no surprises at that level.
Investigations literally mean nothing, just optics for normies.

Where is it?
You insist this thing exists for which there is 0 evidence, are you some kind of conspiracy theorist?
Ok, I don't find any of that convincing.
What's the evidence that it never existed? Generally speaking, it's hard to establish evidence of absence.
That's just an assertion. I don't see why it has to be true. The whole thing may have been a ruse, so that he could step down relatively gracefully.
"Optics for normies" is a huge part of how the system works. Saying it means nothing is silly.
reply
These allegations have been around for YEARS with 0 evidence, fact on ground suggesting it doesn't exist.
He was nominated / accepted nomination, fact on ground suggesting it doesn't exist.
Gaetz resigning doesn't prevent such a reports release, but he did it anyway suggesting something else.
DOJ investigation as you said, with 0 charges... evidence of absence.
The intern is just espousing conspiracy theories about some mythical report.
"Optics for normies" is a huge part of how the system works.
Agreed, but it couldn't matter less right now post-election and whether its him or someone else at AG doesn't matter

The whole thing may have been a ruse
Now you're thinking
so that he could step down relatively gracefully.
That makes 0 sense, why would they extend him that offer? They could have used this non-existent report just to get rid of him ages ago
