What you are watching there are members of Congress leaving the Ethics Committee meeting where the Republicans voted to block the release of the ethics report into Donald Trump's attorney general pick, Matt Gates. The ethics report is believed to describe in very specific detail how Matt Gates engaged in child sex trafficking with multiple children victims, as well as how Matt Gaetz engaged in rampant drug abuse, as well as how Matt Gates engaged in obstruction of justice. But the Republicans on the committee voted to block the release of the ethics report. Thus, the ethics report will not be release by the House of Representatives, which had jurisdiction. You'll recall that Matt Gaetz resigned his position as a member of Congress after Donald Trump nominated him to be the highest law enforcement position in the United States of America. The Attorney General. That's right. Let me just repeat it again. The House Ethics Committee voted and Republicans voted to block the release of the report. This comes as Matt Gaetz was walking around the halls of Capitol Hill today with Donald Trump's vice president elect, J.D. vance, and Donald Trump's pick for Secretary of State. Marco Rubio and others. And a lot of the MAGA supporters were posting this. Gates, Rubio, Vance, seen this am together on Capitol Hill. He's getting confirmed. Sorry, libs. So the way the magazines are talking about this, this is a great way to own the libs by having someone who may have engaged in child sex trafficking with multiple children victims to become Attorney General, also someone who's actually practiced law in a courtroom before, at least to any meaningful degree. So zero trial experience, also putting that unqualified person to be Attorney General. Look, Donald Trump gave a directive to members of Congress and to senators today as well. Here's what Donald Trump posted. He says, this is what the radical left lunatics do to people. They dirty them up, they destroy them and they spit them out. They are trying that right now with some great American patriots who are only trying to fix the mess that the Democrats have made of our country. Then he puts in all caps, we will win. Exclamation point, exclamation point maga. Shortly thereafter, Donald Trump then made a post selling Trump guitars for $2,500 per guitar, which don't get delivered for at least five to six months. That's how Donald Trump is spending his time. We also learned today, first via ABC News, that Matt gaetz sent over $10,000 in Venmo payments to the two women who testified about Matt Gates sex trafficking charges and allegations. Here you see the Venmo payments that were made $500, $514, $772. And they were accompanied by Venmo notes to the girls, such as being my friend, being awesome just because travel expenses. There's other ones here like car deductible cartridges. Love you refreshments. These were the payments made to the individuals who testified before the House Ethics Committee. Also, there's this check right here for $750 to the girls. And it was written to with the memo reading tuition reimbursement. I think there was a total of about 27 Venmo payments totaling $10,000 that were made. Now this also comes as Marjorie Taylor Greene. She is aware of numerous other Republicans who have similar situations to Matt Gaetz and who may be affiliated with Jeffrey Epstein and other sex traffickers like Jeffrey Epstein. And so one of the ways these MAGAs threatened other MAGA Republicans not to release the ethics report is by essentially extorting them, saying, we know your relationships with Epstein. We know that you are pedos and we will tell the world about you if you release the ethics report about Matt Gaetz. After Donald Trump nominated Matt Gaetz to be the Attorney General of the United States, Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote for my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate, if we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed and put it all out there for the American people to see. Yes, all the ethics reports and claims, including the one I filed, all your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled, paying off victims with taxpayer money. Mind you, she's talking about her Republican colleagues right here. Then she goes on to tell her Republican colleagues the entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings, witness interviews, but not just those. There's more. Epstein wasn't isn't the only asset. So if we're going to dance, let's dance in the sunlight. And apparently that combined with Donald Trump, who's been found liable for sexual assault by a jury, their comments convince the Republicans to block the release of this report. It is just so. It would be stunning and shocking if this wasn't who Donald Trump is.
