Gaetz must have been more reliable than the 3 people testifying against him.

People close to Trump are getting close to having immunity. Now a judge has postponed Steve Bannon's trial.

Someone on that House ethics committee needs to leak the report. I want to see the reason that Garland passed on indicting Gaetz.
