A second sexual encounter with the 17-y.o. has struck the Gaetz.

House Ethics committee was told of a second sexual encounter between Gaetz and 17-year-old, sources say​

The woman, who was 17 years old at the time, testified that the second sexual encounter, which has not previously been reported, included another adult woman. She also testified to both sexual encounters in a civil deposition as part of a related lawsuit, sources said.

Matt Gaetz says he 'does not intend' to return to Congress after dropping bid to be attorney general​

In an interview with conservative commentator Charlie Kirk on "Real America's Voice,"Gaetz said he is "still going to be in the fight but it's going to be from a new perch."

"I'm going to be fighting for President Trump. I'm going to be doing whatever he asks of me, as I always have," Gaetz said. "But I think that eight years is probably enough time in the United States Congress."

[That's not what he thought when he ran for and won reelection.]

 

[Always in His Presence]

well that's that....

Did he do it?

Current status: All signs (and sworn testimony) point to yes.

Did he know at the time it happened? He has some plausible deniability.

Was he charged - no
Did the FBI investigate - Yes
Was testimony taken - yes
Did the FBI (Biden/Harris) press charges - no

What do you call a person who has no charges placed after and FBI investigation?

Well he is completely out of the race and politics now. Anything more is just….

The Ethics Committee apparently deadlocked on releasing the report. Two members have filed a privileged resolution, which would force a full House vote on the matter.
Under House rules, once a privileged resolution is introduced, the House must take it up within two legislative days.

House Republicans kill effort to force the release of Gaetz's ethics report​

After the vote, Casten said in a statement that Republicans "took the easy way out.

"They could have ensured a vote on whether or not former Members should be held accountable when they face serious and credible allegations of sexual misconduct, including having sex with minors. Instead, the House voted to sweep these allegations under the rug and set an unfortunate precedent that, if you are ever facing scrutiny, resigning from Congress can make your problems go away," he said.

All the █████ folks must be beside themselves in apopletic rage.

Ooh, silver lining anyway:

House Ethics report says Matt Gaetz regularly paid for sex, including payment to an underage girl​

The former congressman regularly paid for sex, possessed illegal drugs and paid a 17-year-old girl for sex in 2017, according to a 42-page report released by the House Ethics Committee on Monday on President-elect Donald Trump’s former pick for attorney general.

The GOP-led committee concluded in the document that Gaetz “violated House Rules, state and federal laws, and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, acceptance of impermissible gifts, the provision of special favors and privileges, and obstruction of Congress.”
