Lawrence: It only takes one Republican vote to release the House Ethics report on Matt Gaetz

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains how it only takes one of the five Republicans on the House Ethics Committee to vote to release instead of hide its investigative report on Matt Gaetz, the “most important vote in a confirmation process” that could destroy his nomination for attorney general.

Just when you think they cannot get any worse, they double down. People, we are paying their salaries. Do you really think these people are working for you??

Merick Garland's decision not to press charges against Matt Gaetz is unforgivable. In fact most of what AG Garland has refused to do is unforgivable. If he had done his job properly and in due time, we wouldn't be in this dangerous situation.

This literally makes me sick to my stomach. Disgusting!

Thank you Lawrence O’Donnell for reporting the truth and being an American patriot.

[Barbaric_Iron]

We will not be quiet. Release the report.

Please don't ever change, Lawrence O'Donnell! You are the only mainstream media source I can still count on to get the truth. Thank you for being a true patriot!

It seems the House Ethics Committee, may be lacking ETHICS!!!

[moblsv]

"Republican" and "ethics" do not belong in the same sentence

[delanajosey]

If he was actually INNOCENT, the report would have already been released 🤷‍♀️💯

Thank you Ms Wilde, I have to say the Republicans need to remember all the screaming they did at the Democrats for transparency, now it's your turn.

[deborahsmith]

Mike Johnson is beyond disgusting. Hypocrite.

[barbarakristof]

Kudos to Susan Wild. This is exactly what Democrats MUST keep doing: calling out lies and misrepresentations.

The Last Word is doing a good job in thoroughly analyzing issues. I doff my hat to this great journalist.

Thank You Lawrence O'Donnell for your ethical & accurate reports.
You are my only hope for true information in the nightmare we are living in.
Thank You Very Much.

If there is nothing to hide, then there would be no movement to hide it. The absence of a report is as devastating as any report. Release it. Obfuscation is not what is relevant here.

😊. Lawrence O'Donnell thank you for standing 🧍‍♂️ for the truth. You are one of the truth telling for MSNBC, Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid. 😊

If those "Ethics Committee Members" won't vote for releasing the report they don't know the first thing about the meaning of the word "ethics". It's disgusting what happens in america.

[williamwhitehead]

Thank you Mr. O'Donnell for this Powerful report - Excellent work!!!

Someone should ask Vance, "What if the 17 year old was his daughter or a family member? Would he still walk with and introduce Gaetz proudly?''

[ShadowSwordee]

"If just one Republican" has a spine, then Matt Gaetz is held accountable.
