You do already see people speaking out. An attorney for two women who say Gates paid them for sex. Also said they provided the committee with numerous photos of time they spent with Gates. One woman testified that she witnessed having sex with a minor. Again, without the report. Just. Does that information give you pause?

Political Analyst (6:51)

Well, it would, Dan, if the FBI hadn't dropped the investigation. Which tells me something about either the credibility of the, of the testimony or not enough, or for some reason the FBI looked into all this and decided not to move forward. That said, Dan, whether they release the report or not, it will certainly be reported. If not released, it'll be repeated by the Senate Judiciary Committee because all those same witnesses to your point that are coming out publicly and many more and much more evidence will be just as available to Senate Judiciary investigators. And of course they have subpoena power.

Political Commentator (7:25)

Remember, while all of these credible allegations were known, there's J.D. vance, creepy J.D. vance, along with Marco Rubio. They were bringing Matt Gaetz, senator to senator. And just, just defending the conduct is cool. It's cool. According to J.D. vance and Marco Rubio. You see Matt Gates there as they were walking the halls of Congress. And then they would send people to do CNN inter. This is Anna Paulina Luna and she's like, I find it very interesting that these allegations are coming out right now. Very peculiar timing. These allegations were always known about Matt Gates, but this is what Anna Paulina Luna said. Here, play this clip.

So furthermore, you know, I find it interesting that these actual allegations come out at peculiar, peculiar timing while he's being nominated to be the Attorney General. To be clear, I do think Matt Gates is going to be an incredible Attorney General. I think this baseless smear campaign, frankly, is abhorrent that it's happening to someone like Matt Gaetz who's done so much to fight the government corruption.

And here was MAGA Republican Representative Ralph Norman, who said that Gates was a brilliant legal mind and a risk taker. That's how he referred to the allegations. Play this clip.

As you know, Gates is Trump's pick for Attorney General. He was the subject of an ethics committee investigation over whether he engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. The committee was supposed to vote on whether to release that report on Gates today, but now that Gates has resigned from Congress, the report has been scrapped. What are your thoughts on Matt Gaetz? Can he actually get confirmed or is it not? He's not getting confirmed and everybody knows that.

Supportive Republican (9:07)

Look, Matt Gaetz is a brilliant legal mind. Matt Gaetz will, he will be the left winging socialist worst enemy when he, I think he will get confirmed. Matt can handle himself. He has nothing to hide. The DOJ deserv dismissed all the charges. The political witch hunt. And Matt knows this. The political witch hunt on the ethics reports have been done by House members and we know who, who pushed that against him. He pushed back. DOJ dismissed it and so. But he has nothing to hide. Matt Gaetz is a tremendous pick. You can trust what he does and he's a risk taker, which is good and is what, is what's needed in that position.

Legal Analyst (9:46)

Okay, that's, that's good to have to hear from you because I know some of your colleagues don't feel that way.

Now, as we know this report's going to be released, perhaps the most cowardly at all, if that's even possible, is Oklahoma Senator Mark Wen Wayne Mullen. Now, Mark Wayne Mullen went on CNN and he was asked by Jake Tapper if he was going to vote for Matt Gaetz. And Mark Wayne Mullen, the Republican senator from Oklahoma, said, I whatever, Trump, he says, whatever daddy, whatever daddy tells me to do. Here, play this clip.

Senator Mark Wayne Mullen (12:08)

Are you going to vote for Matt Gates? You know, Matt Gaetz and I, there's no question that we've had our differences. They've been very public about it. I completely trust President Trump's decision making on this one. But at the same time, he's got to come to Congress and sell himself. There's a lot of, there are to the Senate and sell himself. There's a lot of questions that are going to be out there. He's got to answer those questions and hopefully he's able to answer the questions right. And if he can, then we'll, we'll go through the confirmation process. Senator Mark Wayne Mullen from the great.

Legal Analyst (12:37)

State of Oklahoma, good to see you, sir.

Senator Mark Wayne Mullen (12:39)

Thanks so much for being here. I really appreciate it.

Legal Analyst (12:40)

Coming up next, the reaction at the.

Political Commentator (12:41)

Justice Department when they and why, why I think that he's the most cowardly is he's a witness to what Gates did. He's literally a witness to some of the stuff that Gates would do on the House floor. So this was Mark Wayne Mullen, just so you could see for yourself, like nine months ago, a year ago. Here, play this clip.

Senator Mark Wayne Mullen (13:02)

You got to think about this guy. This is a guy that didn't have the media didn't give a time of day to after he was accused of sleeping with an underage girl. There's a reason why no one and the conference came and defended him because we had all seen the videos he was showing on the house floor that all of us had walked away of the girls that he had slept with. He'd brag about how he would crush ed medicine and chase it with an energy drink so he could go all night. This is obviously before you got married. And so when that accusation came out, no one defended him and then no one on the media would give him the time of the day. All of a sudden he found fame because he applied opposed the speaker of the House back in November. And he's always stayed there and he's not, he was never going to leave until he got this last moment of fame by saying by, by going after a motion to vacate.

Political Commentator (13:51)

So, yes, the ethics report is going to be released. Matt Gaetz is in big trouble. We're going to get to see all of the details. And as I, I've said this before with Harry Littman, I said, look, I'm not interested in seeing people's private sex lives. I don't care about that. That's not what this is about. This is about child sex trafficking, allegations of unlawful conduct while in a political office. Okay? That's why the public deserves to see it, because he was a public official doing this with the trappings of his public office and we pay for their salaries. So when you're going about doing that and then there's allegations of child sex trafficking. Yeah. I think we should know if there's.

A predator on the loose.
