Shrewd's your north star in markets gone wild,
Laugh off Mr. Market as fools beguiled.
Know your limits, stay cool, don't bend,
Build riches slow - Shrewdness wins the end!

No, the House Committee did not find that it was "likely true."

They found that there was "substantial evidence" that Gaetz committed the various infractions (including statutory rape) of which they accused him.

"Substantial evidence" is much, much weaker than "likely true" which is more akin to a preponderance of the evidence.

"Substantial evidence" does not mean "likely true"; it does not even mean they found by "a preponderance of the evidence" that the various allegations against Gaetz were true.

As Gaetz correctly pointed out, and as the committee's report itself recited, the DOJ had investigated Gaetz for these accusations and had determined not to bring charges against him.
