This move is to spotlight others in congress who really have done these kind of things. There was an attempt to blackmail Matt's father with this crap. Turns out the blackmailer had CIA connection. Matt proved it was all fake and the DOJ backed off and didn't charge him. Like Tucker said, if you go against the CIA/FBI they'll plant kiddie porn on you and then bust you. It's also how they control those in government that don't actually do those kind of evil things.

Won't someone think of the kids? Matt's son Nestor Galban doesn't need this information made public.

They have no obligation to shield the son from this. That's the job of the parents.
The report reads pretty bad...in fact, awful. Whether or not it's true, I have to wonder why Trump would pick Gaetz for consideration for AG. What's the play here?
Maybe to further cause reputational harm to Gaetz? Here me out.
If anybody knowingly makes statements of the report that:
Then that person is guilty of slander.
If Gaetz is still considered a public official, Gaetz's case would likely have to meet the standard set in NYT vs Sullivan - the defaming statements must be said with "actual malice."
But since he resigned from Congress and said he has no plans to rejoin the next Congress, would he be simply a private citizen again? If he is, the legal standard became much easier to meet. He just has to prove that the speaker should have known better.
This could be a setup against the Fake News and those who have leaked parts of the investigation.
The play is to shed light on others who are involved in everything that Gaetz has been purported to have done.
Understood. I just hope there's is follow-through. I know Gaetz has threatened to expose others...but will he?
