Trump Stooge Gaetz Investigated By FL Bar




Boozing guttersnipe and Trump cultist Rep. Matt Gaetz (FL) is now under investigation by the Florida Bar Association for the outrageous witness intimidation tweet that he sent yesterday in reference to Michael Cohen's testimony before the House Oversight Committee today:
"The organization, which licenses lawyers to practice in the state, would not disclose details of the investigation, but spokesperson Francine Walker, said the bar is 'quite aware of [Gaetz’s] comments...and we have opened an investigation.'

'If rules have been violated, The Florida Bar will vigorously pursue appropriate discipline by the Florida Supreme Court,' Walker said in a statement. 'The Florida Bar takes its responsibility of regulating lawyer conduct very seriously.'”
The House of Representatives should also take up penalties for Gaetz's attempt to intimidate Cohen. Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a tweet out yesterday suggesting that the Ethics Committee look into the matter. They should -- but may not -- strip him of all committee assignments with a strong censure resolution. Moreover, the Justice Department should be looking into criminal charges against this belligerent stooge for attempting to intimidate Cohen in a manner befitting organized crime.
