Can someone explain to me why this is pushed so hard? I read up on the issue, and it was a friend of his who was trafficing girls. Then an FBI sting tried to coerce his father by offering a ton of money to get him to say his son was in on it. Local FBI set his dad up with a wire and they actually arrested/charged/sentenced the FBI agent who tried to go after him.
Like, this is easily findable information.
So you think someone who paid a pimp to fuck a minor is totally cool to be Attorney General of the United States?
He's been accused, but that's it. Accusations don't make someone guilty.
So, if it comes out that he did actually do it, fine. But the evidence actually points to it being a political hit job.
That's the thing, they may have the evidence of that, the drugs, and the campaign finance shit. But as soon as T nommed him up he quit his job. Which means all the investigations stop.
So now it's unlikely if it ever will come out if he did it. Mike Johnson says drop it. Some Representatives are saying publish it.
My bet is we never see it.
I hope we do, very much so, but only because I think everything should be transparent in government.
Both Dems and Rinos hate him so much he'd be gone if he actually did what he's accused of. Innocent until proven guilty and there's no evidence of guilt.
Gaetz is from a wealthy well connected old money Florida family. His daddy has bailed him out of crime jams before already. This man has never had to be accountable a single time in his life. He's literally the 80s villan fratbro archetype come to life.
I'd say 90s just because he looks like Butthead come to life.
What sort of crime jams? It really depends on the type. For example, I voted in the guy who has felonies on his record, but laws were changed in order to make those charges felonies specifically to charge him, and there was no victim. So, it's a situational thing for me.
DUI in 2008 that was dropped while his daddy was a Florida State senator.
It sucks that sort of thing happens, but as long as its not happening again and that it didn't happen while in office I'm good with that. We all make mistakes. Im glad his DUI didn't lead to a death
Why go this hard defending Matt Gaetz? Crimes or not, the dude is a fucking asshole.
You're asking why I don't just fall in with the masses claiming someone is guilty without evidence? It's not about who, it's about why. I don't care if someone is an asshole it's not a reason to condemn them for something if they didn't do it.
But do go on with your bad self.
Uh, what? Anyway, I said I’m not talking about the alleged crimes (which several people have now testified before Congress that they witnessed in person - anyway). Rather, my point was that he’s a stupid prick. I’m condemning him for that. Hope this clarification helps.
You're a lost cause, obviously, but for anyone else here, don't trust the troll! Just block that kind of behavior.
Everyone who disagrees with you isn't a troll.
