I am against sex trafficking. Did Biden nominate Hunter to be attorney general?
Democrats do not tolerate such conduct, we threw Al Franken out over much less. You do not see Democrats nominating the likes of Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General.

The Matt Gaetz Ethics Report Is Going to Be Released After All
The House Ethics Committee secretly voted to release the findings of its investigation into Matt Gaetz's alleged sexual misconduct.www.rollingstone.com
After weeks of stalling, failed votes, and lame excuses, it seemed decided that the public would not be granted access to the House Ethics Committee’s final report on their investigation into embattled former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.). But in a surprise twist first reported Wednesday by CNN, the committee secretly voted to release the report as a final act before the end of the current Congress. Fox News later confirmed the vote.
According to CNN, the report will be released on the Ethics Committee’s final day of voting before the holidays. It is unclear which Republican member (or members) of the committee — which is split evenly down partisan lines — voted with Democrats to authorize the release of its findings.
Last month, Gaetz resigned from Congress ostensibly in a bid to pursue a nomination to become President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general. His exit from the House coincidentally came days before the Ethics Committee was scheduled to release a report detailing the findings of their investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct, including an alleged sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl.

Many, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), had argued that the report shouldn’t be released given Gaetz’s departure from the House. Senators, many of them Republicans, upped the public pressure for the committee’s findings to be made public given their need to vet Gaetz as a prospective attorney general. While releasing ethics reports after the departure of a lawmaker is not standard practice, critics of the right-wing campaign to keep it under wraps have pointed to past instances of a report being released despite a member’s resignation.
And to think, Trump wanted this piece of shit as his AG too?!!Matt Gaetz Loses It After House Ethics Quietly Votes to Release Report
Matt Gaetz is about to be screwed over big-time—and he knows it.
After CNN reported Wednesday that the House Ethics Committee has secretly voted to release its report on its multiyear investigation into former Representative Matt Gaetz after all, the former Florida representative immediately lost it.
“House Ethics will reportedly post a report online that I have no opportunity to debate or rebut as a former member of the body,” Gaetz fulminated in a lengthy post on X emphasizing that he has not faced criminal charges for his conduct.
“In my single days, I often sent funds to women I dated—even some I never dated but who asked. I dated several of these women for years. I NEVER had sexual contact with someone under 18. Any claim that I have would be destroyed in court—which is why no such claim was ever made in court,” Gaetz wrote. “It’s embarrassing, though not criminal, that I probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have earlier in life. I live a different life now.”
According to CNN, the Ethics Committee secretly voted earlier this month to release the report after the House’s final votes this year—though “it is unclear if the committee will once again change course now that it has voted.”
According to the committee, the report contains its findings regarding allegations that Gaetz had “engaged in sexual misconduct and/or illicit drug use, shared inappropriate images or videos on the House floor, misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use, and/or accepted a bribe, improper gratuity, or impermissible gift, in violation of House Rules, laws, or other standards of conduct.”
It previously appeared that Gaetz would successfully dodge the likely embarrassing revelation. In November, two days before the Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing the report, the former Florida lawmaker resigned from the House of Representatives, following the announcement of his since-thwarted nomination to be President-elect Trump’s attorney general.
Then, in a party-line vote last month, Republicans blocked the report’s release. The reversal reported Wednesday means some Republicans on the panel defected from party lines, siding with the Democrats in voting to let the report see the light of day.

No it doesn't...
President Trump isn't the one inviting illegals to come in and sexually abuse and traffic thousands of women and children...Does that mean that Joe and his administration like the idea of that?
Fuck you asshole. You supported the assassination of your President elect so, fuck you!Can't wait to read it!

Biden invited thousands in to abuse countless women and children...and Democrats are protecting them...
Only MAGA morons believe Trump is a stable genius who is playing four dimensional chess with opponents.
He wanted Gaetzz, but was too incompetent and naive to understand what a foolish choice it was.

Silly...the country is full of sex trafficking individuals that are being supported and sheltered thanks to Joe and "administration"....Pretty much the reason Kam lost...
That is going to change...do you know why? Because President Trump cares about this country, and we've all had enough...
Stop fretting about something that isn't happening...focus on the great things that will be happening soon...
