US Election 2024

I’m not a betting man, but if I were I’d cheerfully put a £grand on it if the odds were favourable.

Ah wonder if that is why Trump appointed him, so he could quit and kill the investigation but stay in power and close to Trump.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has advised against releasing a report into allegations of misconduct against Florida congressman Matt Gaetz, who is Trump’s pick for US attorney general.

“I’m going to strongly request that the Ethics Committee not issue the report because that is not the way to do things in the House, and I think that would be a terrible precedent to set,” he told reporters.

Gaetz was being investigated over allegations of sexual misconduct, illicit drug use and misuse of campaign funds.

He quit the House of Representatives earlier this week, shortly after Trump made the announcement of his post in the new administration.

His resignation meant that the current House Ethics Committee investigation into him was effectively halted as only members can be investigated.

“The rules of the House have always been that a former member is beyond the jurisdiction of the Ethics Committee,” Johnson, who met Trump at a Mar-a-Lago gala last night, said.

It’s a tenuous argument - just because they cannot bring formal punishment because he’s outside their jurisdiction doesn’t mean they don’t have a duty to the public to report the facts as found.

I can now date your CBBC exposure.

Bring back the halcyon days when the Singing Ringing Tree was the creepiest you would see on the telly.

Raggetty on Rupert Bear was a bit of a worry, tbh.

Willing to bet Robbie Rotten would have been a better Attorney General too.

All the criminals, traitors and nut jobs. There not a single one of them who is even vaguely right in the head.

And America vote for this. It’s so fucked up. :dizzy_face: the only hope is that they’ll start fighting like cats in a sack and achieve fuck all.
