I steadfastly oppose Gaetz and do so based upon what is publicly known about him.
Having said that, I also steadfastly oppose releasing the contents of the investigation. Several reasons
1. The subject of the investigation has no due process with the investigation. No right to confront an accuser or even know who it is. No right to cross examine. No right to appear and without knowing the basis of the charge, any defense would be a problem.
2. Those who appear and give testimony at the hearings have immunity from any defamation charges.
3. We cannot and must not determine this question based on Gaetz or what he has been nominated for. There is more at stake than this individual. The senate can, and should, do its own investigation.
This issue is not about Gaetz or Trump. I think Gaetz is slimy, dishonest, and has no professional demeanor. He is an awful choice for AG. That’s not enough to toss the rules and release the report.
