Now-former Congressman Matt Gaetz, a credibly-accused sex trafficker who in 2021 was facing possible life in prison if not for federal prosecutors dithering on whether they could land a conviction and who subsequently resigned from Congress and withdrew from the nomination to be US Attorney General just to avoid being called out in a House Ethics report outlining all of that behavior, will not face any discipline from the Sunshine State’s Bar Association, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
“The committee… draws a distinction between offenses of personal morality or alleged crimes which do not have a connection to fitness for the practice of law or otherwise indicate characteristics relevant to law practice,” wrote state Bar official Casey Pless Waterhouse in a letter to the OANN anchorman who probably hasn’t used his law license in years. “You are urged, in the strongest terms, to reflect on your responsibilities as an officer of the court,” Waterhouse added.
