what’s insane was that these could have been released earlier, but the house ethics committee has rules that stop negative reports from being released too close to an election. (source)
as if it might be a bad thing that someone doesn’t get re-elected because they were found to have done seriously unethical things.
$20 it was the intelligence departments. They ain't about to have someone they don't know everything about tell them what to do
Shit is going to be FIRE.
Leak it for justice. The information should be public in a just society.

Who would do such a thing to an individual of Gaetz's quality? I'd imagine there's a lot of people that would.
Huh. So that's how Congress is leaking now. Suits me. Been waiting for years to see the evidence.
And BTW, now that the spoiled frat boy quit, who the hell is my Congressman?!

Could be you. Run for office.
NPR mentioned the interim appointment options from DeSantis today.
It includes Laura Trump on a shortlist.

vacant house seats are filled by special election unless there's not enough time to administer one before the next regular election.
Except the next election already happened. He won. Won't he be able to just take his spot in the house in January (if the AG shit doesn't pan out)?
Huh. Haven't heard a word. But hell, I'll take anyone over Gaetz. I keep wanting to ask his supporters, "What exactly has he done for us? Other than make himself the laughing stock of Congress?"
He did have something great he was pushing for a minute. Something to do with childcare or maternity leave? Can't remember, but it was something the whole nation really needs. Got real quiet on it, real fast.
One smart thing he did was STFU before the original court case, which never got off the ground for lack of witnesses, and the before the House investigation. Gosh, the poor man just didn't have time between scandals to represent us! (Jesus. I just realized that's what his voters would actually say.)
In other Gaetz news, I snatch about a dozen yard signs after the election. Pro tip: Bend the wire legs into a U, hang on a rope between trees, receive perfect targets!

According to a source familiar with the matter and an email viewed by CBS News, the person who gained access went by the name "Altam Beezley."
Classic altam!

Leak it, share it, post it for wide availability.
Seems like people need to up their cybersecurity game.
In general yes, but in this particular case I think it's just about high enough.
Gaetz insisted on hiring a 17 year old to manage cybersecurity, what do you expect would happen.

Can I authorize everyone in the country for access please
