The Gateway Pundit confronted Home Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Visitor (R-MS) Wednesday after information broke that the Committee plans to launch the findings from their politicized investigation into former Florida GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, the Home Ethics panel secretly voted to launch its lawfare report of Matt Gaetz earlier than the tip of this Congress. The Republicans maintain a majority on the Committee, suggesting that RINOs on the Committee voted with Democrats to smear Gaetz with allegations that have been already debunked by Biden’s DOJ. Visitor refused to say whether or not or not he voted for the discharge on Wednesday.
This comes after the Committee voted to not launch the report, and the Home of Representatives voted to dam resolutions by Democrats to drive the Home Ethics Committee from releasing their report on Gaetz.
However, Home Democrats have been nonetheless making an attempt to drive the Home Ethics Committee to launch their lawfare report regardless of the Committee now not having jurisdiction over Gaetz. The Deep State and Committee Democrats have been selectively leaking components of the report back to the media, and a so-called “hacker” additionally obtained a trove of paperwork from the report. Pennsylvania Rep. Susan Wild, the highest Democrat on the Home Ethics Committee, was lately outed because the leaker of the Matt Gaetz report.
Not solely are they harassing Gaetz, however Wild violated the oath she took earlier than the Committee that “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I cannot disclose, to any particular person or entity exterior the Committee on Ethics, any data obtained in the midst of my service with the Committee, besides as approved by the Committee or in accordance with its guidelines.” Home Republicans are reportedly weighing a censure towards Wild
Rep. Scott Perry (R-FL) weighed in on the brewing effort in an X put up, noting that “Home Ethics discussions are confidential and Home Ethics has no jurisdiction over people not serving in Congress. There should be penalties for ‘leaking.’”
“How can anybody have any religion within the Home Ethics Committee when certainly one of its personal Members are engaged in unethical practices[?]” he continued.
Whereas I’m not main this effort, I’m being requested my view on a censure of Rep. Wild. Home Ethics discussions are confidential and Home Ethics has no jurisdiction over people not serving in Congress. There should be penalties for “leaking.”
How can anybody have any…

It needs to be famous that the Ethics Committee revived the junk allegations towards Gaetz, even after the Biden DOJ exonerated Gaetz of felony wrongdoing and dropped the costs in February 2023.
The investigation was reopened in 2023 as Gaetz ramped up challenges to former Home Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who was later ousted by Gaetz’s Movement to Vacate the chair. Later, when Gaetz threatened to convey a Movement to Vacate towards McCarthy in October 2023, McCarthy’s RINO allies started threatening to expel Gaetz primarily based on the Committee’s investigation.
Gaetz has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.
Final month, Gaetz withdrew his identify from being thought of for AG because of the unfair distraction from President Trump’s subsequent time period brought on by the Deep State and RINOs. Gaetz has since introduced that he is becoming a member of One America Information Community’s primetime lineup, internet hosting “The Matt Gaetz Present” each weeknight for his subsequent chapter after leaving Congress final month, The Gateway Pundit reported.
Wild, the Democrat leaker on the Committee, seems to have already fled Washington, DC, after dropping her reelection bid final month. On Wednesday, the Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson confronted Rep. Michael Visitor.

Visitor: Once more, I can not speak about something because it pertains to the Ethics Committee.
Conradson: In your opinion, what’s ethics? What does ethics imply? Is it moral to focus on political opponents?
In one other encounter, roughly half-hour later, Visitor repeated the identical line, once more refusing to reply any questions– even these unrelated to the Ethics Committee’s investigation and proceedings.
Regardless of touting his adherence to the Committee’s “oath of confidentiality,” Visitor was silent when requested if he’d maintain Susie Wild accountable for violating her oath.
Watch:
Conradson: You talked about the oath. Would you help a censure towards Susie Wild for violating her oath?
Visitor: Once more, I am not going to touch upon something ethics-related–
Conradson: You by no means answered my query about what does ethics imply to you. I am not asking for privileged data. Chairman, is it moral to analyze a member of Congress who’s already been cleared by the DOJ.
Visitor: Once more, I can not remark about something that occurred with the ethics investigation.
Conradson: In your opinion on ethics, is it moral to proceed to harass a former member of Congress after they’ve left your jurisdiction?
Visitor: I can not remark about something because it pertains to the Ethics Committee.
