Well folks, it has been 18 months since Michael
Cohen appeared before the us house of representatives
where he implicated the president of the United
States in bank fraud. But the night before
that testimony, Republican Congressman Matt
Gaetz sent out a tweet directed at Michael
Cohen that got Gaetz in a lot of hot water.
The tweet was, Hey, Michael Cohen, do your
wife and father-in-law know about your girlfriends.
Maybe tonight would be a good time for that
chat. I wonder if she'll remain faithful when
you're in prison. She's about to learn a lot.
Now, everybody at the time viewed this as
very clear witness intimidation on behalf
of Matt Gaetz, who is a good friend and supporter
of Donald Trump, he was trying to coerce Michael
Cohen to not give up the game on Trump, by
threatening to expose him, or actually exposing
him for his, all his girlfriends. That, by
the way, I don't think this was ever really
talked about why would Matt Gaetz know this?
Matt Gaetz didn't have a relationship with
Michael Cohen. So who told that the mad Gaetz
was it Trump himself? I'm starting to think
it kind of was, but nevertheless, that's neither
here nor there what's important is that 18
months after you sent that tweet, the house
ethics committee last week finally decided
to punish him in theory, uh, the house ethics
committee voted unanimously, uh, in a report
released last week to ed Matt Gaetz. And in
case you're wondering, admonished does not
mean remove from office does not mean put
in prison. It means let him know that you
don't like what he did. That's punishment.
18 months later, it took them 18 months to
write their little report saying, yes, he
is such a bad tweet. It was stupid. He's an
idiot, but technically it didn't break, uh,
you know, witness tampering or obstruction
of Congress laws. So we can't really punish
them. Essentially. They're saying the same
thing that the Florida bar said after they
concluded their investigation and a Matt Gaetz,
which this is actually in the investigative
sewed committee in the house. This was in
their report. You know, noting that a grievance
committee of the Florida bar found representative
gate's tweet to be quote unprofessional, reckless
insensitive, and demonstrated poor judgment.
I mean, all of those words, if you just take
out the tweet part that is also perfectly
describing Matt Gaetz, a unprofessional, reckless
insensitive, and demonstrates poor judgment.
Like that's what Matt Gaetz should have on
his business cards. That should be his Twitter
bio, because that is exactly what he said
he is, but they said it did not rise. Both
the Florida bar and this house, house ethics,
uh, subcommittee subcommittee, uh, they've
said, yeah, the guy's an idiot. The guy did
something very stupid, but unfortunately we
cannot say that it amounts to witness intimidation,
even though it's kinda obvious, isn't it?
I mean, let's not kid ourselves about what
this is. I know the laws, the law, and we
have to follow and you have to be able to
prove the intent and all that. But it's obvious
why Matt Gaetz did this. Right. But, Oh, well,
so Matt Gaetz got away with one, right?
It's not like he's scot-free. He is after
all, currently in hot water over the fact
that he used $28,000 in taxpayer dollars to
hire a, uh, essentially huge racist guy who
was fired by the white house for being racist.
He hired him as a speech writer. Oh. And there's
also the issue of the TV studio that Gaetz
had created in his father's house. And that
they get to bill taxpayers for every time
he goes on TV. So yeah, there's other skeletons
and Matt Gaetz his closet, a closet that by
the way, uh, Gaetz said earlier this week,
and I don't know why I said clause. It's not
related. Gaetz actually said earlier this
week in his speech at the Republican convention,
that Democrats were going to welcome criminals
into this country. They're going to move right
next door to you. All these criminals, criminals,
criminals, criminals.
They love him. Dude. You have been under investigation
more than any Democrat in office right now,
or any Democrat running for office. How can
you with a straight face, sit up there and
say, look at these criminals. Oh, it's going
to be so bad. How'd you get out of your DUIs,
bro? What's up with that TV studio? How much
of my tax dollars did you use to pay for that?
All because we wouldn't let you come in and
use our studio by the way. Um, yeah, this
guy's got some big problems, but I would think
his hypocrisy is probably at the top of that
list.
