Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, today I filed a bill to require the Ethics Committee to release the ethics report on former Representative Matt Gaetz, and I will give notice shortly. I don't do this to give the salacious parts of the report to the public for any purposes, such as they might have for people, and there certainly are alleged parts in there concerning sex with a minor and drug use. I do it because it is important because Mr. Gaetz said that the report was a witch hunt, and it put the House on the defensive, and it should have, by saying it was a witch hunt. The House Ethics Committee members spent a lot of time and the staff spent a lot of time, and it cost a lot of money. The House needs to defend itself, and the best way to do that is to release the report and show that it was not a witch hunt but that it was important. It also said that they would determine that he misused his office, that he converted campaign funds for personal use, and that he engaged in bribery, improper gratuities, or impermissible gifts. There are other matters in here that I don't really understand, but I think the public should know. ____________________”
