Matt Gaetz Attorney General...

[justoffal]

He ***** minors? And you have proof of this of course? Oh yeah you don’t need proof only I do.

That's the favorite slapstick accusation these days for defaming somebody. They did the same thing to Scott Ritter for telling the truth about the failing Ukrainian war effort.

 

[Delldude]

Dude was paying a sex trafficker and you don’t see any problems. You won’t even admit it!

Was he charged?

 

[justoffal]

I think Greenberg's allegations fell apart, IIRC.

Yep when all else fails...." Here come da bimbos!"

 

[OldFlame]

because if they had anything there would be a case and a conviction. The fact they didn't even have enough to go to trial means they had nothing.

So makes one wonder why that wasn't good enough for Congress and they have their own 'investigation'.

Business as usual.... No evidence? Make some up.

There’s a difference between no evidence and evidence insufficient to justify charges.

because if they had anything there would be a case and a conviction. The fact they didn't even have enough to go to trial means they had nothing.

So just to be clear, if someone isn’t charged and convicted, then there isn’t anything against them.

Right?

They should need more than that to start up an official investigation since they apparently can't be trusted to have any integrity and act like adults and not abuse their positions of power.

Depends on the situation. For example, the DOJ had plenty of evidence against Xiden, and they laid out how he stole classified documents, and disclosed it for profit in their report...however he was too senile to prosecute. They made that clear.

We don't for example prosecute mentally ill people.

Nope. They had nothing on Biden.

 

[struth]

Nope. They had nothing on Biden.

They said in their report otherwise, and said he was to senile to prosecute.

Do you think they had a case against Gaetz for sex trafficking and just didn't bring it? Are you saying the XIden/Harris admin was soft on sex crimes?

 

[MisterBeale]

If they had anything the case would have not been closed...

More than likely, this is true.

But, you need to remember, just because they cannot PROVE a case in a court of law, does not necessarily mean there is nothing.

This was the case with the Congressional Oversight of the Hunter Laptop and accusations that the Biden admin was selling influence.

There might be something here, but we don't have access to the evidence, like we did in the laptop case.

There COULD be a circumstantial case, but where is the evidence?

We don't really know why they choose not to prosecute.

 

[MisterBeale]

Nope. They had nothing on Biden.

You are correct.

No one could prove a money for influence scheme.

Just the same as there is no hard proof for the Gaetz story.

 

[Marener]

They said in their report otherwise, and said he was to senile to prosecute.

According to you, if they don’t file charges then they don’t have anything.

I think they had lots of evidence against Gaetz that Republicans are anxious to avoid mentioning. But, as with many cases, they couldn’t bring charges because the evidence wasn’t enough to support the high bar of guilty without reasonable doubt.

 

[MisterBeale]

Interesting that we were going to get all this information from the ethics committee but Gaetz suddenly resigned so that ends it.

There is absolutely no reason that they can't still submit that information at the confirmation hearing.

 

[Delldude]

um I actually didn't say that at all. I said "Depends on the situation. For example, the DOJ had plenty of evidence against Xiden, and they laid out how he stole classified documents, and disclosed it for profit in their report...however he was too senile to prosecute. They made that clear."

You actually quoted me, so why do you lie?

So you think the Harris/Xiden admin was soft on sex crimes? Why do you think they were?

So you have double standards. That I already knew.

It depends if they’re a democrat or a republican to you. That’s the truth.

Dunno. Ethics committee has rules to follow. Not sure what they are allowed to do now.

 

[MisterBeale]

The two are not related.

Any information about his character that is relevant and proven, the Democrats on the committee can submit at the confirmation hearings.

If it is REAL, it will come to light.
