Following the reported vote by the Republicans on the Home Ethics Committee to dam the discharge of the report of the investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, CREW President Noah Bookbinder, a former federal corruption prosecutor, launched the next assertion:
“It’s unacceptable that the Republicans on the Ethics Committee voted to guard Matt Gaetz and block the discharge of the report of his potential wrongdoing. We have no idea what’s within the report, however now it’s arduous to not conclude that his colleagues are attempting to cover damning findings to guard him. For this nomination course of to have any integrity, they need to do any work essential to finish the report and launch it once they meet once more subsequent month. I served as a counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee who was charged with reviewing FBI background checks for all nominees who got here by means of the committee. The Judiciary Committee at the moment would by no means have thought-about a nominee on this place, no matter get together, with out receiving and reviewing the report of the Ethics Committee, and it ought to completely refuse to think about this nomination now till the report is launched.”
