Actually this is very weird…I’m assuming he was forced to step down by team Trump once the extent of his crimes were revealed.

brilliant move guys!

If he was too egregious even for Trump it must’ve been something.

Senators told him no go.

"Trump chose Gaetz almost on a whim aboard his plane last Wednesday after his advisers had deadlocked on other choices, particularly Andrew Bailey, the attorney general of Missouri, and the lawyer Robert Giuffra. Gaetz’s selection was pushed heavily by Boris Ephsteyn, Trump’s legal adviser who has helped stock his Justice Department at the top levels." - NYT Maggie Haberman


This is the Trump advisor who put him up for the post. Hard to deny Russian influence when it's literally working side-by-side the incoming president.

Maybe he just didn’t want the report to come out and they decided to release it?

I think this is it. The report was damning.

He still won. He resigned this term. He'll be sworn in again in January

he won't do that. If he does the ethics committee report will come out.

Really makes me wonder just how damning that report was...

That's my guess too.
He quit Congress to avoid the report coming out, but someone on the ethics committee must have told him that as long as he's in a political position they'd release it.

So now he can ride off into the sunset with his crimes un-publicized.

I thought Trump was going to push his nominees through. Surprised he didn't call him a sucker.

I guess. We all seem to have a decent idea of what was involved.

He’s the start of Federal downsizing.
