just does not stop Matt Gates was
expecting to have a bombshell report
released on him by the Committees
investigating him inside of Congress and
the House of Representatives and
literally 2 days before he
resigns because now he's becoming the
Attorney General of the United States at
least subject to Senate confirmation
per Donald Trump's appointment now
what's really interesting about this is
yes you have to be an attorney well
technically I suppose you don't but you
probably won't get confirmed you
generally have to be an attorney to be
the Attorney General even though again
that's technically not in the law what's
interesting is the mainstream media was
so convinced they had to have something
against him over the last few years one
of the things they actually ran a whole
story on is how Matt Gates was
delinquent and his bar license got
suspended for failing to pay his
association fees with the bar
association and I'm like oh no what did
he get like fined and like refused to
pay him or something was it like
thousands of dollars no it was
$265 and they had to run a whole story
uh about this now of course then in the
story they also had to reiterate how
he's being accused of sex trafficking
and providing payments or Goods to a
17-year-old girl in exchange for sex
such as paying for her to travel with
him and this is how they're now trying
to get him on other crimes as well it
again feels like that same sort of
political based persecution that we just
see over and over and over again uh I
mean I don't know anything about a
17-year-old who who knows whatever
happened there but it's not uncommon for
dudes to be like hey let me buy you a
flight what all of a sudden there a sex
trafficker anyway here's a here's the
POV and I want you to see actually you
know what before we get to this I want
you to see what JD Vance says about this
JD Vance is a good one so JD Vance posts
a tweet well post the post the main
issue with Matt Gates is that he used
his office to prosecute his political
opponents and I'm like oh dang JD Vance
is laying down the fire and authorized
federal agents to harass people oh this
is starting to sound like what's
happening with the FBI and the poly
markets CEO who were peacefully
protesting at school board meetings oh
wait that's actually merik Garland the
current attorney
general now whether you like JD Vance or
not that's a good one that's a good one
okay well let's jump in over here take a
look at this Matt Gates resigns from
Congress so the interesting thing about
this is as the house Ethics Committee
investigation is going on they basically
lost jurisdiction over him you'd see
that here or the New York times says
with his departure from Congress the
committee is no longer in a position to
have jurisdiction to investigate Mr
Gates now theoretically because they
have this report they're getting ready
to release or were getting ready to
release on Friday theoretically they
could just go ahead and release it
anyway I I wouldn't be surprised if it
gets leaked and there are some crazy you
know allegations or whatever against him
but at this point it's almost like the
Elon Musk line you know the most ironic
is the most likely and you know Mt is
the person who considers him the he
considers himself the most investigated
person in Congress yeah here it is I am
the most investigated man in the United
States Congress I I think it's kind of
ironic that then somebody who considers
themselves the most investigated person
becomes the Attorney General of the
United States same thing here keep in
mind that the justice department did
look into these allegations so this is
not not the house this is not the house
Ethics Committee this is the justice
department and for 2 years the justice
department looked into the
allegations and they closed their
investigation last year without filing
any charges mind you I'm not reading
like Fox News I am purposefully reading
the times here because I know they lean
left and even they are like yeah the
justice department kind of already went
through this still the house Ethics
Committee opened an inquiry in 2021 into
the sexual misconduct allegations it's
always allegations allegations I feel
like anybody can allege anything these
days and just the allegation alone
Slanders you more than anything it's
kind of crazy right now uh but anyway so
uh this committee mind you is made up of
five Republicans and five Democrats it's
actually chaired by a Republican and uh
their ranking member is a Democrat so
they it's supposed to be an even mix
here but still nonetheless
house Ethics Committee opened an inquiry
into the 2021 allegations along with
claims that Mr Gates misused state
identification records converted
campaign funds to personal use accepted
impermissible gifts under house rules
and shared inappropriate images or
videos on the house floor among other
transgressions oh no how dare you share
memes on the house floor how dare you
that is unprofessional sir it's a
millennial I'm not trying to take away
from the professionalism of what should
happen in the halls in floor of Congress
or on the floor of Congress
but it's how it works justice department
shuts down the investigation maybe you
should too I'm sure the report will get
leaked though so we'll see what was in
the allegations but for now Matt is
basically free because the house can't
kick him out he already quit they have
no jurisdiction over him anymore now
Johnson is kind of like h Trump stop
recruiting people away from from from
the house we need the numbers you know
because now somebody else is going to
have to replace map so uh you know
that's that's something to keep in mind
you know every time you kind of appoint
somebody from Congress you do kind of
Whittle your numbers down a little bit
anyway he is uh part of Florida's first
congressional district uh which uh is um
is the Pensacola region now what's crazy
about this is talk about the replacement
it could end up being Matt's dad now
Matt grew up in Hollywood Florida
actually about 30 minutes from where I
grew up and my dad married a woman from
Hollywood Florida so not my mom it was
after but anyway uh take a look at this
this is really incredible this is
floridapolitics.com
perhaps one of the top replacements for
Gates is another Gates the congressman's
dad former Florida Senate President Don
Gates could slip into the seat with
strong name recognition duh insiders
familiar with the district also point
out that it's a very prot Trump District
uh Gates won 69% of the vote there and
then 66% uh in in his last election over
here
so it is possible that you don't really
have too many issues uh about uh
replacing gates for another Republican
here so you should be able to maintain
uh that Republican seat now uh DeSantis
could also appoint someone to fill the
remaining term of Senator Mark Rubio and
so some people are looking kind of at
disantis and they're like hey you're not
going to mess anything up right OB I
he's not he'd be kind of shoot himself
in the foot in the Republican party if
he didn't appoint a Republican senator
that's for Marco Rubio who's being
tapped which is also a little bit of a
surprise because it did initially seem
like Trump did not like Marco Rubio at
least based on some tweets that Donald
Trump has sent including messages that
Donald Trump would not even assign Marco
Rubio to run his smallest of
companies I found that somewhat
entertaining but um again fate loves
irony so there you have a little bit of
update uh an update on what's going on
with politics why not advertise these
things that you told us here here I feel
like nobody else knows about this we'll
we'll try a little advertising and see
how it goes congratulations man you have
done so much people love you people look
up to you Kevin PA there financial
analyst and YouTuber meet Kevin always
