    what’s insane was that these could have been released earlier, but the house ethics committee has rules that stop negative reports from being released too close to an election. (source)

    as if it might be a bad thing that someone doesn’t get re-elected because they were found to have done seriously unethical things.

      vacant house seats are filled by special election unless there’s not enough time to administer one before the next regular election.

    Who would do such a thing to an individual of Gaetz’s quality? I’d imagine there’s a lot of people that would.

    According to a source familiar with the matter and an email viewed by CBS News, the person who gained access went by the name “Altam Beezley.”

    Classic altam!

      In general yes, but in this particular case I think it’s just about high enough.

        Gaetz insisted on hiring a 17 year old to manage cybersecurity, what do you expect would happen.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
