“Matt Gaetz is entitled to the presumption of innocence, but he is not entitled to sit on the House Judiciary Committee. That is an honor and a privilege,” says Rep. Ted Lieu. “Leader Kevin McCarthy must remove Matt Gaetz from the committee immediately.”

#MSNBC #MattGaetz
If it was a Democrat the Republicans would have a fit.
When will swalwell step down?
@Jeremy Backup The Dems even fought hard to have Cuomo removed.
@FISH TEXAS Look! A squirrel
@FISH TEXAS
After I step down
@FISH TEXAS if and when he commits a crime maybe?
Matt Gaetz has been smearing the DOJ and the FBI with bogus claims about a blackmail scheme, so yeah, he should be removed from the Judiciary Committee.
@Michael Hainley the DOJ of the trump administration is where this investigation began and was green-lighted. So try to deflect that.
How is that this gesture is supposed to determine the validity or not or anything? Everything of your little team is perfect, everything of the other team is to be demonized.
How desperate, and how absolutely stupid can one even be.
@Michael Hainley It’s sad for all the sheep to not be aware of the ridiculous corruption within the government (the actual corruption, not the fake news narrative). The rule of law in the United States is dead.
@Siddy Sid yeah I know, the bidens,Clinton’s all get a pass on their criminal activity, once the democrats get in power they politicize the dept of justice to go after the Patriots of this country, democrats have used communist ideas like putting trump supporters in reeducation camps like china does, and these people who listen to tv news dont see what’s happening, so brainwashed
@Michael Hainley 1950’s are calling you home.
@Michael Hainley So what is your excuse for trump not pursuing charges against the Bidens and Clintons? He had 4 years and not 1 charge nor investigation. I guess made up conspiracies aren’t enough to get judges to issues warrants, huh Princess? Nothing left of the GOP other than beta followers and Russian bots…. sad what has happened to my party but so glad I left after Bush Jr got in.
It’s a conflict of interest for him to sit on that committee. That used to be common knowledge through common sense. It’s ridiculous that anyone even has to ask!McCarthy knows it’s the right thing to do, to take him off that committee. Shame on him for not acting as a leader. Where are the GOP’s higher angels?
@Fake President
What about him gramps?
Trump has been sleeping with the Chinese long ago.
Who do you sleep with?
Blow up doll made in China? 🤓
@B. T.
Are you sober today?
@saintnash1
Focus on the foolishness that now sits in the Oval Office
@Fake President Any “foolishness” would still be a million times better that the orange traitor
@Fake President
By looking at your prior comments gramps you have never been sober online. 😎
It will be only a short time before the US House will be wanting to ‘immediately’ remove Gaetz from the Congress.
@Support your Troops & Athletes im not talking about gaetz.
@Noreb .. okay but both said they assisted, that does not mean neither should be held accountable. Obviously the federal judge seen enough evidence to sign off on the warrant.
@John Swo When Gaertz is removed, he needs to be placed under house arrest so he doesn’t defile another underage girl.
@Support your Troops & Athletes im not talking about matt gaetz…. at no point has the FBI come out and said matt gaetz was cleared of any suspicion and cooperated with investigations… with swallwell the FBI literally cleared him of any wrong doing…
Congress would need 2/3 to remove any elected official.. With 426 members [ i believe ] they would need 284 members…Democrats only have 216, do you really think 68 Republicans would vote to remove another republican?
Hey Matt. When your daddy taught you about family values, he wasn’t referring to the dollar value of a teenager in the human trafficking business.
Funny. But Republican leaders don’t actually believe in family values, they just use that as a tool to manipulate gullible voters.
yes he was. like father, like son.
And Joe Biden’s son Hunter grew up to be such an outstanding citizen.
Ted needs his own show someday called… In Lieu Of
Haha brilliant!
That’s my Rep! And since it’s for L.A., he probably would have several offers when he decides to retire from public service.
YES! He’s a natural!
Uneedtherapy42….👍🏼
Love It!You’re Good!!!!!
Rep Lieu, Good for you for daring to stand up… I agree with you, IT IS a conflict of interest!!!
@Noreb but he was not kicked out if his committee like you want Matt Gaetz to be while the F.B.I. investigated him. The law says innocent until proven guilty so they should be treated equally.
is it “standing up” when all the idiots are the majority in the fraud govt?
@Fake President you’re projecting
@Scott Loveless Total BS, he had no knowledge that she was a spy, unlike the Trump Campaign who colluded with Russian spies, unlike Giuliani who was warned about working with a Russian spy, and unlike Trump who discussed strategy with Putin behind close doors. You keep lying and deflecting, because that’s what Republicans do.
@Mike The gops have been degraded by greed, it’s probably what makes them attractive to you. Winners have more money, right? Except it’s a fake dream, the gops are too divided and (hopefully) will go the way of the Tories.
It’s obvious why he should be removed from the Judiciary Committee
Remove spy lover Eric Swalwell from the Intelligence Committee
@Fake President swallwell was cleared by the FBI. to bad gaetz hasnt been.
@Noreb
Crooked Hillary was also cleared by the FBI (Fake Bureau of Investigation?) No reasonable prosecutor could indict a criminal Democrat.
@Fake President all I hear from you is crying
Matt Gaetz should have been gone months ago. It is disgusting that he is in government! THERE IS A HUGH PROBLEM HERE!
THERE IS A HUGH PROBLEM HERE! Yes. That will be the repUGLYcans.
It’s huge, not Hugh. Your text predictor is in need of a refresh.
Daily Reminder: On January 6, 2021, Impeached former President Trump attacked America during a joint session of Congress.
@slum erican Sorry that you’re apparently the last person on the planet not to know this, but Ex-president One-Term Grifter was impeached TWICE.
@slum erican Yes, he was. He will always be imepached, twice. That will NEVER change.
Auntie Pha…again, I agree with you 💯 Percent. Why is not in Prison yet? It’s so frustrating!!!
slum.. REALLY! All of us thought he was..
ALL OF US, except YOU! Twice Impeached..1 term President. Thank God!
The only ones attacking America are Antifa/BLM.
Since the Tea Party crowd took control of the GQP, it has become increasingly corrupt. Look at who they look for leadership, Greene, Gaetz, McCarthy, Jordan, Cruz, the orange blob, and McConnell.
The rest of them make McConnell look like a liberal.
The conflict of interest couldn’t be any clearer. And the republicans will ignore it entirely.
Disgraceful.
Total conflict of interest……there’s no way you can sit on the very committee investigating you.
Rep. Lieu is 100% correct …. The United States Constitution Article 1, Section 5 should be enforced ASAP
Even if Gaetz isn’t guilty he should be off that committee
And removed from govt. service. Dishonorable discharge.
He is absolutely correct. The rabbit hole goes further. Wait til we find out who else participated.
You are correct Rep. Lieu, Senator Gaetz should be removed from the Judiciary Committee !
Rep. Lieu, good for you. Ethical backbone is in short supply on both sides of the aisle, and needs to be raised more and more. Gaetz is in trouble, and needs to be either cleared or prosecuted fully in this very serious matter.
Absolutely !!! It is definitely a conflict of interest. At least while being investigated… Period….
Gaetz is from Florida, it’s not unusual for the boys down south to call their sister mom.
