4) make certain that even a hint of bureaucratic resistance is met with heads on spikes.
Quits before house ethics committee report on him with underaged girls gets released.
While I am not a Gaetz fan, I also know the nonsense of FBI's claims without evidence leading to a HOR investigation smacks of Lawfare.

You are talking nonsense if you think the investigation simply disappears. The Ds will run wild with it.
A fair minded person will want to see what evidence exists before rendering any judgment.
You are simply throwing bombs without any proof. Baylor people should be better than that type of nonsense.
There are two issues here.
1. Ethics committee is different than FBI. I assume they have a lesser standard of proof. Regardless, this ethics committee is from the Republican House.
2. Evidence against Gaetz came from a co conspirator. FBI decided not to go to court with him as the primary collaborator. They didn't say he didn't do it only that witness lacked credibility. Ethics committee may have found something different.
