Looking really bad:
Quote : | "But for those who have closely followed his legislative career, the Florida lawmaker represents a sharp break from the corporate-friendly orthodoxy of the modern Republican Party. Indeed, Gaetz’s elevation will provide sprawling prosecutorial powers for continuing his push against special interest influence and corporate malfeasance.
His record speaks for itself. From his perch on the House Judiciary Committee, Gaetz has promoted a surprisingly consumer-friendly agenda, routinely breaking with his GOP colleagues on crucial votes. He previously supported legislative measures to break up Silicon Valley monopolies, sharply regulate the online data broker industry, ban noncompete employment contracts, and an end to the practice of forced arbitration, among other corporate accountability votes. He has also taken maverick positions on reducing FBI surveillance powers, cutting certain arms supplies to Saudi Arabia and legalising marijuana." |

There's this too
Quote : | "Gaetz is a deeply problematic pick for AG. A report from the House Ethics Committee investigating allegations of drug use and sex with a minor was due to be released in days. Although he was reelected just last week, Gaetz resigned immediately after Trump said he would nominate him, thus short-circuiting the release of the report. Last year, Republican senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma told CNN that “we had all seen the videos he was showing on the House floor, that all of us had walked away, of the girls that he had slept with. He would brag about how he would crush [erectile dysfunction] medicine and chase it with an energy drink so he could go all night." " |

Accusations were dropped after 1000s of pages of testimony. He traveled with a friend who brought a hooker with them. The only corroborating evidence is the hooker. Probably reopened to put pressure when they knew he would be AG.
And they were started after: After the 2020 State of the Union Address, Gaetz filed an ethics complaint against Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, claiming she had committed a "flagrant violation of decorum" and perhaps broken the law by ripping up her copy of the speech.[55] Rep. Matt Gaetz, who Trump is nominating for attorney general, was a huge proponent of revamping antitrust law to target the tech giants.
Fuck with the corps and Pelosi, get the horns

Quote : | "In June, the House Ethics Committee released a statement saying it was investigating a range of allegations against Gaetz, including sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, and bribery.
Multiple sources at the time told CBS News that four women had informed the House Ethics Committee that they had been paid to go to parties that included sex and drugs, and that Gaetz had also attended. The committee has Gaetz's Venmo transactions that allegedly show payments for the women. " |
Quote : | "Among those who have given testimony to the House Ethics Committee is a woman who says she had sex with Gaetz at a 2017 party shortly after he was elected to Congress. The woman was 17 at the time.
"She was a high school student and there were witnesses," her attorney said in a statement, urging the committee to release its report on Gaetz." |

"Multiple sources"
Credibility issues: "The woman was a paid whore."
> September 2022 Washington Post article reported that prosecutors have recommended not to charge Gaetz in the sex trafficking investigation, telling Justice Department superiors that a conviction is unlikely in part because of credibility questions about the two central witnesses
But don't worry! Everyone can just #believewhores when the charges are dropped.

Quote : | "Gaetz sent two Venmo transactions amounting to $900 to accused sex trafficker Joel Greenberg in May 2018. He labeled the first transaction “test” and the second transaction “hit up _____,” with the alleged nickname of a young woman.
Greenberg later sent money to three girls labeled as “Tuition,” “School” and “School” that totaled $900." |
Sent to friend, friend buys whores. Gaetz says he wasn't involved and didn't sleep with the underage one. The associate was arrested.
Friend gets caught and says, I know a congressman that likes to party!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Greenberg_(politician)
Quote : | "During the reelection campaign in 2019, he is also alleged to have created fake Facebook accounts and sent falsified letters making claims of sexual misconduct against an opponent" |
Quote : | "As part of a plea deal, he agreed to cooperate with the U.S. Department of Justice in an ongoing investigation, and will serve a 12-year sentence, the minimum sentence allowed by law. In exchange for his cooperation, prosecutors agreed to drop the remaining charges from the original indictment. The plea agreement documents state that Greenberg paid a minor to have sex with him and other men. He engaged in sex acts with a minor at least seven times while she was underage. In court papers for his plea deal, Greenberg did not implicate others by name but admitted that he "introduced the minor to other adult men, who engaged in commercial sex acts".[20][21] As part of the plea agreement, Greenberg must register as a sex offender.[4]" |
An ex girlfriend testifies:
Quote : | "The ex-girlfriend was in an open relationship with Gaetz in 2017 and 2018 and allegedly discussed other women he was involved with, according to three friends of the former couple. She allegedly went with Gaetz and a number of other young women and friends of the congressman in 2018 on a trip to the Bahamas, a trip that is also under scrutiny, CBS News and Politico previously reported." |

^^ zero direct implications, even by the guy facing a decade in federal prison. You've got a 17 year old who's been implicated in taking money for sex, and some sketchy allegations from an ex. Coupled with a ton of incentive to nail him to the wall.
How is it he didn't get arrested?
Why would they drop the charges? How do you know he didn't intend to buy an iPhone from the friend? Or a couple of 8-balls? 11/14/2024 3:36:11 PM |

Out of curiosity, and you can give me ballpark numbers on this...
How many times a year would you say you send money to sex traffickers? How many times do you do so with a memo of a name of one of said trafficker's whores? And, again, round numbers here, how many times does that money then get given almost immediately in the exact amount to said whore with the same name as the memo you put on it? Again, just a back of the envelope calculation here 11/14/2024 6:33:05 PM |
