      A statutory rapist, the perfect Trump hire. Only the best, right?

      Is being guilty bad or just an adult ‘Boy Scout’ badge?

      Hard to give a shit without heads on pikes these days.

      How else can you do blow off the arse of under age girls? His child/boytoy already has been charged with pretty much the same thing?

      > Federal investigators established a trail of payments from Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice to be attorney general, to women including some who testified that Mr. Gaetz hired them for sex, according to a document obtained by The New York Times and a lawyer representing some of the women.
      >
      > The document, assembled by investigators during a three-year sex-trafficking investigation into Mr. Gaetz, is a chart that shows a web of thousands of dollars in Venmo payments between Mr. Gaetz and a group of his friends, associates and women who had drug-fueled sex parties between 2017 and 2020, according to testimony that participants are said to have given to federal and congressional investigators.
      >
      > At the parties, women, and a girl who was 17 at the time, were paid for sex, according to accounts of the participants’ testimony from people briefed on what they said.
      >
      > The document bolsters recent claims by a lawyer for two of the women who say they had sex with Mr. Gaetz for money. It shows thousands of dollars in payments Mr. Gaetz made to both of the lawyer’s clients.
      >
      > Mr. Gaetz, 42, represented Florida in Congress from 2017 until last week. He has vehemently denied their accounts, and the federal investigation was closed by the Justice Department without any charges against him. Vice President-elect JD Vance accompanied Mr. Gaetz to Capitol Hill on Wednesday in an effort to build support for his nomination from Republican senators, some of whom have expressed doubt that he is confirmable.
      >
      > The document was obtained by the House Ethics Committee, which met on Wednesday amid growing pressure to release a report it has compiled on Mr. Gaetz but deadlocked on whether to do so.
      >
      > Titled “VENMO TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN ALL INDIVIDUALS AS OF 09/14/20,” the document uses thumbnail photos of Mr. Gaetz, dozens of women and several other men to show how payments flowed between them. Lines with arrows connect the men and the women, showing, among other things, how much Mr. Gaetz and his associates paid the women.

      Notwithstanding Gaetz is a complete sleazebag and possible criminal, he has utterly no administrative experience. He’s woefully unqualified to be AG. He worked at a garden variety local law firm for three years handling local clients, then as a state legislator, then as a member of Congress. That’s it.

      This is indefensible even for the gop. They can never claim/pretend to care about pedophiles ever again

      From Water Gate to Matt Gaetz. The republican party doubled down and… it paid off.

      I’m seriously considering getting in new york times subscription this year.. I don’t believe the washington post will ever be able to get us this kind of information because of who owns them.

      Notwithstanding he violated the “mann act” if he transported a minor across state line for illicit purposes. first degree felony in Florida

      If Trump believes it is classified, which it isn’t, doesn’t that mean according to Trump that President Biden can “declassify” it? 

    15. Stanwich79 on

      And Americans will do nothing. You talk about Russia’s paper army , how about America’s paper justice. All the guns and all the lawyers and you have pedophiles rampant.

      I’m wondering just how soon until Gaetz-gate and Elon-gate raise their ugly heads.

    22. Overall-Importance54 on

      For real, help me here, why did the Biden DOJ drop the charges tho?

    23. TrustYourFarts on

      I read elsewhere he used his lovechild, Nestor’s PayPal account for some of the payments.

      *Traced,* as if Jacque Clouseau followed a trail of evidence into the woods and pieced it all together.

      They were publicly visible Venmo payments. Complete with fake commentary on what they each transaction was for. This goes back at least 2 years to when Joel Greenberg when being investigated.

      For those who aren’t aware of the backstory, Greenberg could’ve been the nail in Gaetz’ coffin except he engaged in so many crimes while also suffering from bipolar that the DOJ received all of his information but probably determined he wouldn’t a reliable or credible enough witness had they pursued charges against Gaetz.

      And when this all went down a couple years ago, overnight there were probably entire departments of journalists devoted to looking up politicians’ Venmo/Cashapp/whatever accounts once everyone realize the transactions default to being publicly visible.
