[quote=Anonymous]WP is reporting that Matt Gaetz's motion to remove McCarthy may be payback for McCarthy's failure to interfere with the House Ethics Committee inquiry against Gaetz on a host of allegations, including sex trafficking. It's disgusting that gross, sleazy Matt Gaetz is the one to engineer the unprecedented ousting of a speaker for reasons that may include personal animus and revenge.

Background from the WP:
The Ethics Committee began investigating Gaetz in the spring of 2021 for: "allegations he engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, shared inappropriate images or videos on the House floor, misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use and accepted impermissible gifts under House rules, among other allegations."

"The secretive congressional investigation was paused while the Justice Department carried out a related investigation of Mr. Gaetz’s conduct, including allegations involving sex trafficking and sex with a minor. In February, the Justice Department decided not to bring charges against Mr. Gaetz after concluding they could not make a strong enough case in court.

Once the Justice Department inquiry ended, the Ethics Committee resumed its work but "has not yet reached out to a key witness at the center of the most serious allegations against Mr. Gaetz."
