🤡 Gaetz must refile lawsuit after technical errors

Second story at the link.
First story, Tom Cotton is still a douchenozzle

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-Fla.) lawsuit against the House Ethics Committee was rejected for technical reasons and must be refiled before the court takes any action, the court docket shows.

The court clerk rejected Gaetz’s filing for not serving the Justice Department and combining his complaint and emergency motion into one document.

The emergency motion, which seeks to immediately block the report’s release, must be filed separately.

I’d think he knew of the secret vote to release it before we did but even if he found out when we did….?

Again, not a lawyer - is this a last minute SURPRISE thing?

Any way, Happy Holidays Matt!

If he tended to think ahead, he might not have done bragging sessions on the Hill (some with photos?) of his Red Bull + ED meds binges while bopping teeny boppers.

Trump wants his record cleared. He’s unconcerned with the depravity and incompetence of the purpose who would do it. Does trumps African American boss want trumps name cleared?

Rookie mistakes by a guy who seems to be little more than a life support system for a penis. Maybe he hired one of Trump's lawyers.

Why not let it be released? I mean - he said it wasn't true - so releasing it will prove him right . . . or get him elected as President.

But I do expect them to know enough to hire someone who does. The lead counsel is experienced, but the local counsel is a hack.
