It's a well-established idea, and a pretty intuitive one, that by maintaining some discretion you'll get more cooperation out of witnesses in the future, and that's a good thing.
Now if we want to talk about literal criminal activity, that's a job for the other branches of government. The executive branch is absolutely should investigate Gaetz. But that's not the responsibility of the legislative branch.
Wrong branch of government for that task.
