I'm not hearing about prosecuting Gaetz, or investigating the abuse of minors, or their recovery

15. I think this is the key reason the DOJ didn't charge him"

The report did not find that Gaetz had engaged in sex trafficking, even though it said Gaetz traveled with women whom he paid for sex “on several occasions.”

This was the most serious allegation which apparently can't be proven. The statutory rape allegation was proven to the satisfactioon of many, but the statute of limitations had run out.

The panel said it identified at least 20 instances between the beginning of 2017 and the middle of 2020 with “substantial evidence” that Gaetz “met with women who were paid for sex and/or drugs,” and said it received testimony about “multiple additional events, trips, or parties” where Gaetz “may have paid women for sex and drugs,” but the panel could not determine the specific dates or locations for them all.

I can't find any info on what the specific charges here might be, or if the statute of limitations may have run out on them as well.

In a finding that says Gaetz “dispensed special privileges and favors to individuals with whom he had a personal relationship,” the report says he “used the power of his office to assist a woman with whom he was engaged in a sexual relationship in obtaining an expedited passport,” despite that woman not being his constituent.

The committee also found that Gaetz obstructed the panel’s probe, noting he “declined to provide testimony voluntarily and did not appear when subpoenaed,” and charging he “routinely ignored or significantly delayed producing relevant information requested by the Committee.”

These are definitely ethics violations but I'm not sure if the explicitly broke any laws.
