House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) declared that the House ethics report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz “shouldn’t go public,” Tuesday after Gaetz was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as attorney general.

After Fox News host Laura Ingraham asked Jordan, “Do you have any sense about what will happen with that House ethics report that was supposed to come out Friday?” the committee chairman replied, “Well, it’s my understanding that it’s not supposed to go public. So if it’s not supposed to under the rules, it shouldn’t go public.”

Jordan went on to describe Gaetz as “one of the best members we had on our committee,” adding:

There are very few people who have the cross-examination skills he does, and I want someone in the Justice Department who’s not going to say moms and dads in school board meetings need to be investigated. I want someone in the Justice Department who’s going to say it’s wrong for the FBI to do a memorandum and say that pro-life Catholics are extremists. I want someone at the Justice Department who can tell us who planted the pipe bombs on January 6, who leaked the Dobbs opinion, who put cocaine at the White House instead of all the other stuff they seem to be focused on.

1. Pervs of a feather!

[Emile]

24. My thoughts too!

[Dennis Donovan]

2. I think the Senate is going to insist on it.

Gym's not going to win this one.

[zorbasd]

9. I think the Senate will just

Ignore it and just confirm him, because dear leader demands it.

[FredGarvin]

3. It wont go public

Let's not fool ourselves

[Vinca]

4. One way or another it's going to come out. If necessary, there will be a leaker. The people need to know.

[JustAnotherGen]

10. This to me

Would be the kind of stunt I'd like to see Biden pull.

Obtain it and release it. It would be a Presidential Act in the name of national security. I'm not talking about destroying the constitution or violence -

I'm talking about something we the people paid for, it's ours, and I want it.

[FredGarvin]

15. Late in the game for that

Not to mention what would be done to the leaker under Trumps justice department.

[JustAnotherGen]

19. He pardons them

[SunSeeker]

23. Exactly. Biden can immediately pardon the leaker. Do it for the country!

[Dulcinea]

36. That's what I think too.

Someone will leak it, & it won't be pretty.

[flying_wahini]

5. Jim Jordan is going to make a terrible Head of the the Judicial Committee.

He sure as hell doesn’t want his own past exposed. Wondering when he starts calling up people for testifying if he will be mad when they skip like he did?

[FredGarvin]

17. His committee will enforce rules

If only others did

[zorbasd]

6. Says the Piece of Shit

molesting allowing fascist hypocrit.

[Blue Owl]

7. Look the other way just like you always do, dumb jock

[in2herbs]

26. Whatever happened to George Clooney's movie about Jordan??? nt

[Scrivener7]

8. Of course he does.

[bluestarone]

11. My thoughts exactly!!

[tanyev]

12. Yep, that tracks.

[FakeNoose]

13. Oh really Jim? Do tell

[MrWowWow]

14. ATTN Govt. Leakers: If You're Reading This...

We the People will give you a hero's welcome and pay you hadaomely if you can leak to the Media, the House Ethics Committee's report on Representaive Gaetz's (Eddie Munster) sex trafficking of a minor activities.

[Gore1FL]

16. It's not the first time Jordan looked the other way as a policy. nt

[Stardust Mirror]

18. Jim Jordan Says Ethics Committee Report on Jim Jordan 'Shouldn't Go Public'

there, fixed it

[mackdaddy]

20. The House members have a lot of protection under the 'Speech and Debate' clause.

So if a Democratic member of the Ethics committee wants to release it, there is not too much that could be done. After all the repubs literally published the stolen Hunter's D pics.

Another thing I have not heard much about is apparently AOC was saying that Gaetz resigned from THIS session of congress, but he is also elected for the next session starting in January. So he could technically just go back to his seat if this falls through. So would the ethics investigation and report carry over to the next congress??

I don't think any normal rules or decorum apply to MAGA.

[BumRushDaShow]

21. Once he resigned

it would be up to DeSatan to appoint someone until a Special Election is held. And if the scenario pans out that he doesn't get confirmed (he won't be) or recess-appointed (that is a possibility still awaiting how Congress does their Rules for the 119th Congress), then he could be reappointed until the next Special Election.

HOWEVER - I think he said that he supposedly "timed" the resignation so abruptly so that DeSatan could potentially get a replacement in by January 3rd though.

[ificandream]

22. I'm amused by the fact Gymbo wants to know who planted the Jan. 6 pipe bombs and leaked the Dobbs opinion

He's putting us on, right?

[lastlib]

25. I want someone at DOJ who will....

investigate and LOCK UP the SEXUAL PREDATORS and their ENABLERS on University wrestling teams. (I'm lookin' at you, Gym-Rat.)

[The Wizard]

27. What was Jim Jordan's role

in the failed coup D'etat of January 6, 2021?

[Kali]

28. awww isn't he just so cute?

if I was such a fucking hypocritical liar I would probably off myself.

[republianmushroom]

29. And just why not gym jim,

all you republicans do live by those republican family values, don't you ?

[ZonkerHarris]

30. Jordan covering up for perverts is what he does.

[Tarzanrock]

31. Fascism is only encouraged when you close your eyes to their criminal atrocities.

Ass licking, lickspittle Republican Nazi dirtball wants to cover up and hide the sworn ethics committee testimony from the "victim" of another Republican Nazi who raped a 17 year old girl. Fascism is only encouraged when you close your eyes to their criminal atrocities.

[onetexan]

32. Screw Lame Jordan. Just leak the damn report and for the public's awareness.

[SupportSanity]

33. Revisionist history right in front of us.

[Harker]

34. Jordan is right about two things.

Gaetz can probably tell us who planted the pipe bombs on Jan. 6, and who put cocaine in the White House.

[cstanleytech]

35. The American people have a right to know what they are getting.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

37. Gym is a well-known sex abuse enabler
