re: House Ethics report accuses Gaetz of statutory rape of 17-year-old, drug use, obstruction

If the contents of the report are demonstrably false then it absolutely is fair game for a lawsuit.

How are we getting around sovereign and/or legislative immunity?

And that’s assuming that everything in the report is truly demonstrably false?

Don’t feel bad, Mollie. None of the people commenting on how horrible Matt is in any of the TD threads have bothered to read it either.

In the ethics report, Gaetz is accused of paying his long-term girlfriend for sex. None of that is made up. Do you think it’s a good thing to release a report like that? Does it set good precedent? Would you like to see more of it in the future?

Don’t know if it should have been released or what kind precedent it sets. I think anytime there is an ethics inquiry the findings should be released they shouldn’t try and hide information that could sway the voters opinion of a candidate. What he did was illegal, but it would be hard to prove in court. He tried to get around them releasing the information by resigning the day before it was supposed to be released, so he knew it was going to be bad.

He is accused of paying multiple women for sex. In his text messages he talks about drug use and paying women for sex. It’s not that he paid for sex and did drugs with a few young women it’s at least a dozen. One party it was 4 or 5 girls and 2 guys

He isn’t being charged. Nothing is being taken from him. He doesn’t have a right to face the committee in that context.

The fake fricking investigation was conducted without due process, by government actors. Those government actors had a duty to protect the confidentiality of the findings, especially since the findings of the report are basically, someone accused him of this and we believe them even though there is no other evidence. That committee had no jurisdiction or legal ability to release the report now that Gaetz is no longer in Congress. The sole purpose of releasing the report is when an ethical breach is determined and the House issues a sanction. He had a right to due process in the sham of that investigation, including the right to conduct cross examination, to examine evidence and to confront his accusers.

They abused it. Abused privileges can be waived.

Gaetz has a fundamental right to privacy that was disregarded by government actors, and Kevin McCarthy. That interest was invaded. With malice. They publicly disclosed true facts they knew would be embarrassing and in a manner caculated to be embarrassing. They also publicly disclosed true facts with the intent to place him in a false light.

These interests are legally protected in tort by these government actors behaving outside the scope of their authority, communicating confidential facts they don’t have the legal authority to disclose.

They can all frick off and I hope he sues them all for malicious prosecution, abuse of a legal process (the fake investigation), and the above torts of invasion of privacy.

I’ve personally avoided summary judgment and settled similar cases in far less egregious circumstances. I hope every member of that committee and Kevin McCarthy get a little bit of East Alabama justice for the actual tortious conduct they engaged in intentionally, maliciously and wrongfully. I almost want to go get admitted in Florida.

Giving gifts to people you are having sex with, or paying them to travel to see you is not illegal.

If you take a woman out to dinner and then she has sex with you, is that illegal? Even if you’re only buying her dinner so she will have sex with you?

If you buy a woman an expensive handbag after she has sex with you, is that illegal?

If you take a woman on a trip and pay for it and then she has sex with you, is that illegal? Or if she paid for the trip to come to see you and then you have sex and you pay for her to fly home, or for her Uber, or for breakfast-
Is that illegal?

This is stupid. This whole thing is stupid.

but giving someone $400 cash after having sex is prostitution and that is illegal.

Stfu.

I've ignored the report

I'm assuming they took the same "evidence" everyone else, including actual investigating authorities had - made some leaps and reached some extralegal conclusions that the actual justice system wouldn't/couldn't reach - am I close?
