      Damn. You’re right. I still think the fact that he resigned from congress stated he didn’t plan on being sworn in, and then when he realized he AG pick was putting extra pressure on the committee to release the report, withdrew himself from consideration speaks to that report being particularly damning. He’s doing massive contortions with big impact on his career to avoid it.

      It’s almost as though it contains proof he’s a rapist and sexual abuser or something, which is bad if your a congressman, but ironically give him excellent presidential potential.

          I seriously think he decided not to take an office he’d already won because it would take away the one justification the ethics committee had to not release the report, i.e., he is no longer a congressman. The more he’s willing to do anything to not have the report come out, the more I want to know wtf it says. Presumably it must be more than was already known, otherwise why so scared? It was already leaked that they have testimony that he had sex twice with an additional separate 17yo, so maybe that’s it, but it feels like there must be more than that. I’m wondering if the new testimony didn’t implicate other Republicans or something.
