But then Trump nominated Gaetz to attorney general on Wednesday and Gaetz quickly and quietly resigned from the House—meaning the committee no longer has jurisdiction over him and might never release the report.
I think in this case, the house report couldn’t be released close to an election, so since Gaetz had a primary and general election, that delayed it by 5 months at least to be after the election. IMO, resigning or not shouldn’t matter to the report being in the public record.
Five months is a crazy amount of time to hold something. Five months ago Biden was running for President. I’m not against a general rule that limits when a report is released, but people should who who their candidate is.
Why are these investigations always so slow?

Honestly, I think people can easily sit in jail longer waiting for a trial to see if they should be in jail or not.
