The House Ethics Committee report was released on Monday and revealed that the committee found "substantial evidence that U.S. Representative Gaetz, FL, violated House rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress."

"It is possible for Matt Gaetz to still face criminal charges, as there don't appear to be statute of limitations issues for the relevant charges," Perlstein said. "However, the decision to bring charges lies with the two sovereignties involved: the state of Florida and the U.S. federal government."

It would be truly amazing if politicians protect Mr. Gaetz from prosecution.
