I'm not a big fan of Gaetz, but these evidence-free smear campaigns by Democrats are truly getting really tiresome.
As Twitchy readers know, the House Ethics Committee magically decided to release their Matt Gaetz report ... the day before Christmas Eve. Yes, the very report even Biden's own corrupt and weaponized DOJ decided not to act on. Hey, think what you want about Gaetz and whether or not this report is true and his actions unethical (it is certainly not our place to defend or condemn him), but the way this has been done is shady AF.
Mollie Hemingway was front and center taking the entire mess apart:
Mollie (@MZHemingway) ~ INSANE: House Report On Matt Gaetz Relies On Witnesses Even The Corrupt DOJ Found Completely Lacked Any Credibility Whatsoever
http://thefederalist.com/2024/11/17/house-probe-into-matt-gaetz-relies-on-witnesses-doj-found-lacked-credibility/
BIDEN'S DOJ, which would obviously be looking for any reason to go after Gaetz, did not believe the evidence was credible.
C'mon.
Mollie (@MZHemingway) ~ Sometimes I feel like I was the only reporter to look into the details of the Gaetz allegations. That's how I learned the accuser is in prison for making the same false sex-with-minors accusation against someone else.
Good Lawgic (@TheFollowingPro) ~ {Replying to @MZHemingway} In addition to reliance on felons convicted of previously telling this very same type of fabrications, it is alleged that THE COMMITTEE flat out LIED about testimony they received. Attorneys for folks they deposed are demanding retractions. http://x.com/MarcACaputo/status/1871291724552937725

@ChrisDorworth demands the House Ethics Committee issue a correction to its report that inaccurately summarize his statements & testimony. The letter is via his lawyer, state Rep. @RAlexAndradeFL.
Color us SHOCKED.
WinstonSmith (@BackporchBobcat) ~ {Replying to @MZHemingway} I’m not a fan of Gaetz, but I also believe people should be convicted in a jury trial before we remove the “allegations” part of the description of activities we haven’t seen or have first hand knowledge of.
And ultimately, that's the point. Whether or not you like a person should not impact or influence their innocence or guilt. Even if you dislike Gaetz, the fact they released this report the day before Christmas Eve, a report Biden's own corrupt DOJ obviously considered a nothing-burger, tells us all this was sneaky, dirty, and likely all-too-personal. To Hemingway's point, it's INSANE that they'd take seriously any sort of testimony from a witness who is currently in prison for making the same false sex-with-minors accusations against someone else.
While we're certainly not experts, this definitely sounds like a red flag.
In fact, there are so many flags around this report we're not even sure where to begin ... luckily, Hemingway did the work for us.
ManyMice007 (@MMice007) ~ {Replying to @MZHemingway} Facts don't matter. Just the allegations in the attempt to destroy someone's private or public life. That's all that matters to these people.
"These people" = sleazeballs who have absolutely no problem with lying their asses off if it suits their political narrative - just like clo.
