And spared the world of Matty his septic tank scum son. The world would have been forever grateful minus the likes of pedo boy and his fascistic frat-boy in your face antics.

Who is surprised by this. Now, the Ethics Committee report will not be released.

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., on Thursday announced that he would withdraw himself from consideration to be President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general.
"I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition," Gaetz wrote in a post on X, just a week after Trump announced he planned to nominate Gaetz to the position.
"There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus Ill be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trumps DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1," Gaetz added.
Gaetz, who Trump named last week as his pick for AG, faced significant headwinds in the confirmation process.
Trumps selection of Gaetz brought fresh scrutiny to previous allegations against the former congressman, who faced an investigation by the Justice Department that involved allegations of sex trafficking and sex with a minor.

But, I get your point. And I share your sentiment.
