    1- Gaetz shared confidential information about Mueller's report on Stone to Stone

    2- While he was part of the committee that was investigating Trump's obstruction of Justice, Gaetz was doing work to get Stone a pardon

    Bunch of crooks.

    Matt Gaetz assured Roger Stone of pardon on hot mic, discussed Mueller redactions - The Washington Post

    At an event at a Trump property that October, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) predicted that Stone would be found guilty at his trial in Washington the following month but would not “do a day” in prison. Gaetz was apparently unaware they were being recorded by documentary filmmakers following Stone, who special counsel Robert S. Mueller III had charged with obstruction of a congressional investigation.

    “The boss still has a very favorable view of you,” said Gaetz, stressing that the president had “said it directly.” He also said, “I don’t think the big guy can let you go down for this.”

    Gaetz at one point told Stone he was working on getting him a pardon but was hesitant to say more backstage at the event, in which speakers were being filmed for online broadcast. “Since there are many, many recording devices around right now, I do not feel in a position to speak freely about the work I’ve already done on that subject,” Gaetz said.

    The lawmaker also told Stone during their conversation that Stone was mentioned “a lot” in redacted portions of Mueller’s report, appearing to refer to portions that the Justice Department had shown to select members of Congress confidentially in a secure room. “They’re going to do you, because you’re not gonna have a defense,” Gaetz told Stone.

    Gaetz is a member of the House Judiciary Committee. At the time of the conversation, the committee was investigating whether Trump might have obstructed justice by floating possible pardons to Stone and other allies who were swept up in Mueller’s investigation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

    Gaetz is one of the worst. He's horrible in so many levels in so many ways. One of them is doing his job. What a clown... A criminal clown.

    He just came from an event where he said that women who are pro-choice protesters are the least likely to become pregnant. Dude is the last person one would consider a responsible leader. He's exactly the type of dude who says stuff like "you're to ugly to rape".

    In his case he would say "You're too legal age to rape, but do you have an underage sister?"

    Should be investigated and expelled from the House if true (I know it's next to impossible since it requires a 2/3 vote). Unacceptable unethical and probably even criminal behaviors.

    Shouldn’t have Gaetz worry about his own pardon

    The House ethics committee should get on this ASAP.
