Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican who briefly stood to become President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to be attorney general, was found by congressional ethics investigators to have paid numerous women — including a 17-year-old girl — for sex, and to have purchased and used illegal drugs, including from his Capitol Hill office, according to a final draft of a comprehensive investigative report obtained by CBS News.

    Bummer that voters will forget about this by the time the mid-terms roll around. The Republicans fought tooth and nail to keep this under wraps in full knowledge that Gaetz was participating in the rape of minors.

    (The drug use I couldn’t care less about, and I’d argue that no one should.)

      I wouldn’t care about the drug use either except that 1) it’s illegal 2) it’s an ethics violation 3) he was going to be attorney general.
