Democrats leaked details of a report on Florida Representative Matt Gaetz to the press. Are you surprised? You shouldn’t be.
Pennsylvania Representative Susan Wild reportedly admitted to leaking details of the report. She is a member of the House Ethics Committee so there is irony there.
The House compiled a report on Gaetz related to accusation of sexual relationships with minors. He was never charged by the FBI because the main witness to the accusations was not credible because he himself had a sexual relationship with the same minor and had falsely accused political opponents in the past. The House decided that wasn’t good enough for them and conducted their own investigation.
Geatz had been nominated for Attorney General but withdrew his nomination in the wake of these allegations.
The information that Wild leaked was not damning to Gaetz but pertained to details of the panel’s investigation, which is a violation of the committee’s own rules.
Wild was voted out of office in November so she won’t be around long to face consequences but she should. As the New York Post put it, “Democrats are in an ethical free fall.”
