A diagram obtained by The New York Times shows how federal investigators mapped out payments between Mr. Gaetz, his associates and women. The Times has redacted the names and images of most of the individuals who were originally included.

and yet the DOJ didn't go after him after a three year investigation. Now you know more than the DOJ. Wow. conceded much?

The diagram tracks payments from Gaetz to women he paid for sex. That's illegal outside of NV.

Woman told House Ethics Committee she saw Gaetz have sex with minor, her lawyer says​

A woman told the House Ethics Committee that she saw Matt Gaetz, who is President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for the U.S. attorney general, have sex with a minor, her lawyer said Friday.

“My client testified to the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed Rep. Gaetz having sex with a minor at a house party in Orlando in 2017,” Joel Leppard said.

Gaetz, a far-right Republican U.S. representative, resigned from Congress on Wednesday after Trump announced plans to nominate him for attorney general, has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct.

Leppard said the woman he represents testified before the House Ethics Committee in April.

He said he represents two witnesses who have provided testimony to the committee regarding Gaetz.

“The American people deserve to know the truth about the person slated to become the top law enforcement officer in the country” Leppard told NBC News.

Matt Gaetz is president-elect Donald Trump's choice to become U.S. attorney general.

Reagan broke the unspoken prohibition of a divorcee running for the presidency. Since then trump has shattered any semblance of it. He stole money from a charity, is a convicted criminal, is twice criminally indicted, twice impeached, a two time divorcee, a 26 time recipient of sexual abuse allegations, was found financially accountable for sexual abuse (rape by federal statute), stiffed investors in his casino biz, and was sued dozens of times for failing to pay money he owed to small contractors. He can fairly be described as morally bankrupt.

So here's my question.

If this testimony is accurate...“My client testified to the House Ethics Committee that she witnessed Rep. Gaetz having sex with a minor at a house party in Orlando in 2017,”.........does it matter to the Repubs who voted for trump that the potential future AG had sex with a minor? Are traditional moral standards a thing of the past if the politician in question is in your tribe?

Since 2018 the House has investigated lots of people and yet Gaetz has not been charged, I dislike Gaetz a lot, but this is just stupid, if we have all this testimony all this evidence then why hasn’t Gaetz been charge? I call another BS lie, they either need to put up or shut up. Dems can take action, they are still in power but nothing.

Sonny Hostin on the view had to read the legal disclaimer because she couldn't shut up.

Yes. It doesn't even matter to Christians, anymore.

What you are seeing isn't a repudiation of moral,standards. It's a repudiation of democrats. You are no longer believed. About anything.

 

[Independent thinker]

Hilarious.

Yes it is. But, God love you, you're fine with walking around in clothes that say, "Kick Me" on the back.

No. After all, their investigation lead to identifying Venmo payments from Gaetz to various under aged women for sex.

There are no moral standards for trump appointees.

There is scant evidence for any of this among the latest batch of proposed nominees — not that there would be. The point of placing loyalists in positions of influence isn’t to make the government work; it is to bend the government to the president’s will, whatever that might be.

Recall Trump’s most frequent complaints as president in his first term. He was angry that the Department of Justice would not pursue his political enemies, mad that the generals would not entertain his desire to shoot protesters and furious that the “deep state” foiled his efforts to abuse the law. For his second term, then, Trump doesn’t want competence; he wants obedience.

Very well stated.

What was the result of their investigation?

2nd time I've asked.

Yes it is.

Democrats removed moral standards from the public square as a result of their 40 year battle to do just that.

One of the women Gaetz had sex with testified she wasn't sure if he knew a 17 year old he paid to have sex with was under 18. Things like that may have stopped him from being prosecuted. But he wasn't "cleared."

Even if you remove the sex trafficking and drug use from consideration Gaetz still isn't qualified to be AG due to his complete lack of experience as a practicing lawyer.

 

[justoffal]

And I wasn't even mad.....I remember telling folks at the time who were acting all "morally superior" that it would make him even more popular if they kept harping on it. It did.

Yeah he didn't have any problem getting reelected..... Aside from his bad habits he was actually a decent president.
