Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) had an incomplete ethics report hanging over his head when he was nominated as our next attorney general. Gaetz, one of the most controversial but vocal Trump supporters on the Hill, was too much for some of his GOP colleagues in the Senate. He didn’t have the votes for confirmation, leading to the withdrawal of his candidacy. Since he left Congress, the probe conducted by the House Ethics Committee ceased. The committee split evenly regarding disclosing what they had found, barring its release to the public—a majority was required for full disclosure.
Yet, it was going to leak. We knew it was going to leak. Gaetz’s nomination was still seen as viable, and there were too many Democratic eyes who’d seen the pages. One Democrat appeared to be the point source for the leaks, Rep. Susan Wild (D-PA), who was absent at the panel’s meeting last week after it was discovered that she was the leak. Her office said her absence related to how the committee had handled this report, nothing more (via The Hill) More
What punishment is appropriate for a government agent who sabotages the functioning of government via “leak” (revealing private or classified info)?
Isn’t doxxing that leaker appropriate and justified?
A democrat “leaking” bullshit on a republican? Imagine my surprise.
it’s what pedocrat-******* do
It looks like miss Susan has an ethics issue.
Completely predictable that this would be leaked; just as predictable that not a goddamn thing will happen to that cunt for leaking it… because she’s a democrat.
If the GOP weren’t complete fucking retards, they’d leak every single similar document on every single democrat who has served in the past four years.
And her punishment is — ???
She’s a lame duck. They can’t do anything to her institutionally for punishment. I doubt in D.C. they would find a prosecutor or court willing to pursue charges. They can destroy her credibility and hopefully political career, but only if anyone pays attention. Given that she’s a democrat and the leak achieved an outcome they would consider a rare win for their side, she’ll even skate reputationally.
