If he's innocent, the people should know. If he's guilty, the people should still know.

Oh, the Speaker NEVER puts his thumb on the scale...Mike never disappoints when it comes to lying to the face of every American while claiming to be a good christian.

If he’s innocent he has nothing to fear

[pokerface]

If the report cleared Gaetz of any wrongdoing, the Republicans would have released it right away. Johnson's reluctance to do so raises all the red flags.

Ethics Committee released a report on George Santos. Just saying.

[freddy]

I am an European, and I don’t understand that the American people vote for these kind of people. Those politicians are so hypocrite.

[normalityrelief]

Just imagine how his tune would change if it was a democrat.

“I didn’t even know about it till the media reported it last week”
- sir, are you incompetent, or lying?

[daveg]

The American people paid for that information. Give us what we paid for.

Basically he is saying "We Will Cover for a Pedophile" The Church has done that forever.

[Grtn]

So he’s the speaker but doesn’t know what’s going on in his own party??

[ALHodges]

What kind of brace does he wear that keeps his head upright without a spine

[LazyEyePolitics]

Its not even fun to point out the hypocrisy anymore.... its so obvious

[pamscout]

The American taxpayer paid for the report so we should get to see it! It is not moot, despite the fact that he’s not in the House anymore. More relevant than ever, I’d say.

If they don't want it released, that means the accusations are true or even worse.

[SlackJones]

It seems like the sludge level in the swamp is rising already!

[ceasefire]

This is enraging. He’s not leaving congress to work at the local Dairy Queen, he’s trying to become the Attorney General!!!

Translation: “My orange king and I literally discussed all of it and he told me to squash it.”

[Mnbvcxz-ui]

We the people DEMAND it
Release the FULL report

[SkellyGamingCreates]

If he's innocent then he has no reason to worry about the release.
