Ethics watchdog ends review of Gaetz's office lease

The Office of Congressional Ethics has terminated its review into Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz's decision to use taxpayer money to lease an office from a friend, donor and political ally in Florida.that Gaetz had spent nearly $200,000 in taxpayer money renting an office from a Pensacola businessman named Collier Merrill, who had long been an ally of the Florida congressman and his father.

But Omar Ashmawy, the staff director of OCE, notified Gaetz of the termination July 1, according to a letter sent to the Florida Republican's office.

Ethics! Republicans don’t have ethics!

Free pass for everyone now. Good precedent to set. There is no ethics committee, it's a fairy tale like the boogeyman.

Why have an ethics group, with results and decisions such as this....

I guess if they continued, they would also have to investigate Omar, who paid her husband 800k

This guy is an embarrassment to my state, along with Rubio, Rick Scott, Ron DeSantis and Daniel Webster!! VoteThemAllOut2020

He needs a big office to fit that forehead and ego.

Congressional ethics is an oxymoron

Has anyone started an investigation about Gaetz's 'supposed' adopted son?

Ummm....why?

The review has ended and it has been determined that RepMattGaetz has no ethics.

TRUMP inspired decision.

Endless chances for rich white GOP. If the courts punished racists instead of being racist, Matt would have had his neck knelt on after his first drunk driving arrest instead of going on to commit more and more crimes as a GOP Rep.

Who runs this “office of congressional ethics”? Clearly they have been sleeping on the job for 4 FREAKING YEARS? TraitorTrump EnemyOfThePeople globalidiot

Guess because they are busy investigating themselves now. catch22

Matty said the accusation was debunked. In reality, the investigation was halted. mattgaetz was lying. Again. PhilEhr

The entire GOP/realDonaldTrump should be put on trial at the Hague for humanitarian crimes for over 130,000 COVID19 deaths and counting. Murderers

WINNING

Well that was an unsatisfying article. It should be relatively easy to check if it was rented at market value or not.

Mat Gaetz is a tool

Looks like you got away with another one, eh, RepMattGaetz?

Matt has big friends he got away how many dwi in Florida

GOP, the party of radical socialist antimask bioterrorists

Seems legit.

It doesn't say what conclusion they came to if any.

That's because there are no Congressional ethics.

Crooks! MattGaetzIsATool

Who called the dogs off

Was the space leased at market rate? Or are you just attempting to underhandedly slander a republican?

Well, of course they have. Just imagine what they’d have done if he were a Democrat

Why

$200,00 for an office? Seems excessive.

So , what was a the outcome of this illegal behavior? Dif someone buy the ethics watchdog?

IlhanMN has divorced her brother and then paid her new husband nearly a million dollars, but let's investigate RepMattGaetz 🤡 ClownShow

What's the ethics watching equivalent of 🦘 court These guys are fearless despite all the scrutiny. It must be being done rampantly. Depending on who leads the agency all these guys must be at least a little dirty.

mattgaetz It isn't that they ended it, it's that they had to start it in the first place. You've been hanging around this President too long.

There are no ETHICS in this corrupt administration

What about Ilhan million that she gave to her little bed buddy? LiberalHypocrisy Omar, how does the Koran treat adultry? Asking for a friend.

They all were making shady dealings with real estate agents

'conservative' until he's spending taxpayer dollars.

good friends

So a smear that didn’t work out for you all. Just like the one Schiff did on Nunes. We are tired of the wased time and money for the bogus claims. Your headline suggests you wants to put it out there anyway, thinking something was done wrong. Media sucks.

Why?

Now you can do Ilhan Omar's paying over $800 thousand to her new hubby's consulting firm...

We reported in April that Gaetz said he rented the space “at or below market rate,” despite House rules stating such arrangements are not allowed:
