To the Editor:Re “House Republicans Block Release of Ethics Report on Gaetz” (news article, Nov. 21):Let’s just call it what it is — a Republican cover-up.
The witness testimony and evidence produced by the House Ethics Committee at taxpayer expense must be presented to the U.S. Senate so the senators can carry out their constitutional responsibilities in a fair and complete way.
And should the House cover-up succeed, voters must hold their representatives accountable.
Richard DickinsonRichmond Hill, Ga.To the Editor:If the roles were reversed and a Democrat selected for a cabinet position had an ethics report that the Democrats moved to block, Republicans would mount an attack, leak the report anyway and say, “The American people deserve to know!”
