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

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.

What is your role under Continuity of Government Operations?
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

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

First of all hilarious you think I am an intern I mean look at the body of work I have written about here its clear that I'm not. Uh the DOJ didn't investigate drug allegations only the Ethics Committee was looking into that.
For the 5th time, 99.9% of Ethics cases are dropped once the Member resigns EXCEPT for if they seek higher office like idk a Cabinet-level position or the one guy that got caught on TV talking about having sex with a 16-year-old.
You can hope and dream that I guess Gaetz becomes a special prosecutor however since that is going to go through the DOJ and Gaetz will have to follow rules instead of creating them that not happening. Plus once more HE WANTS TO BE GOVERNOR OF FLORDIA.
Honestly, though the foam from your rapid dog-like love for this guy is well you need to wipe the foam off... that's a little icky!
reply
Why would he resign AND run for higher office then? You keep contradicting yourself.
Personal attacks about his ego don't cut it, and if you don't think GEOTUS would know in advance you're hopeless...
HE WANTS TO BE GOVERNOR OF FLORDIA.
SO RELEASE THE REPORT AND STOP HIM?
foam
Re-use that a few more times you clueless larp

Sooo first off you dont "run" for AG you are appointed. He was appointed and then resigned. History clearly shows if you do this they look at releasing your report but they do not always do it however those are the cases where they have. He has a God Complex he thought Republicans would confirm him no matter what, he was an idiot... again.
Dear lord you called Trump God Emperor of the United States dude lay off the drugs.
First off Flordia is redder then red so all it means if they released it now would be... well nothing there is no election and he's gone.
It shouldn't come as a surprise to you that Congress might launch a baseless investigation against a political opponent.
Also, just because the legal system drops a case does not mean there's nothing there. It can also mean they don't think they can get a conviction on the evidence. Private employers do their own investigations sometimes and will come to their own judgement about what their employee did or didn't do.
Gaetz resigning doesn't prevent such a reports release, but he did it anyway suggesting something else.
True, but you are aware that politicians are famous for wheeling and dealing, right? The quid pro quo could have been "resign and we won't release this".
The problem here is that you are making positive assertions of fact for things that are at best speculative claims.

I'm doing the exact same thing as OP, this is quid pro quo

Unless you work in Congress, you are doing something different. He's relaying an inside perspective on what's happening.
