This is the reason why some Republicans despise Matt Gaetz.

[excalibur]

Oh yes, he's been tough on them, naming names.

He needs to be approved, or Trump names someone even "worse" from the Senate's POV.

I thought it was the pedo thing, but maybe you are correct and Republicans don't mind that sort of thing, and don't want to see the report.

Doesn't really matter to Gaetz. Resigning 2 days before report release, cuts chances of official release, especially with Johnson's help. If report breaks, and he doesn't get confirmed, he was re-elected and will be back next term, and I am sure Trump supporting members of the house will accept him.

If he does get Attorney General, I guess we can look for a steep drop in prosecutions on human trafficking, and maybe a national drop in age of consent, probably to 16, just to avoid future problems of this type for him.

Truly the long knives are after Gaetz. If he becomes AG by any means (Appointed or Recess appointed) the predicted blood bath begin and even some Republican heads may fall.

There is no "pedo thing". Okay? Learn what 'pedo' means, it means sex with prepubescents.

specifically : a psychiatric disorder in which an adult has sexual fantasies about or engages in sexual acts with a prepubescent child​

Definition of PEDOPHILIA

sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object; specifically : a psychiatric disorder in which an adult has sexual fantasies about or engages in sexual acts with a prepubescent child… See the full definition

Thanks for clear that up. The 17 year old is said to have testified Matt Gaetz Fkd her in a bedroom, at a party where drugs were present, when she was in high school, while he was a US Representative and another female supposedly testified to witnessing it. So, you are correct. She was simply below the age of consent in Florida.

This nomination is simply a test to see if Congress is a co-equal branch and the Senate is a rubber stamp or not. Obviously, if the report disputed what has been reported and cleared him of ethic charges, not only would nobody mind the release of the report, but would be insisting on it. But, no. Just a cover-up, as the country watches, whether House and Senate do their job or just roll over as corrupt politicians.

Why didn't the DOJ charge him?

Merrick Garland's DOJ refused to indict. Think about that.

 

[White 6]

Not a Federal Crime?
Why did the Republican controlled House Ethics Committee, think it needed investigation on ethic charges? Their report either clears him or damns him. If true, not a disqualifying act for the President-Elect. I suspect he understands that kind of thing.

Does the Federal Court indict and prosecute state crimes? Fcking the 17 year old high school girl was not against any Federal Law, I am aware of.

The Democrats seems to be able to think or talk about nothing other than the perceived personal sins of the opposition. They are totally immersed in lurid visions of sex and rape and sexually charged words. Why is that?

Biden's DOJ, fully weaponized to take out any Republican they want to take out, did not find any evidence to accuse, much less indict Gaetz of any crime. The Democrats just hope that report has some really juicy salacious stuff they can talk about for the next six months, but they have no clue what's there or whose privacy could be needlessly invaded by its release to satisfy their most prurient curiosity..

I want to see the hateful radicals expunged from the Democrat Party and for it to return to the honorable institution it once was. People who cared about things that actually matter to American and Americans. I wonder if that is even possible anymore.

The price of cleaning the swamp never came with any guarantee that it wouldn’t involve a few Republicans getting uprooted, too.

I can see why they might object. But …
Fuck ‘em. Swamp critters need to go.

I understand your frustration, but what you don't seem to believe (and you're not alone, many here on the right don't realize or believe this) is that there actually ARE a lot of sickos in government, not just Ds but Rs as well.

Also, as I mentioned on another thread, this crying wolf effect I think is dangerous. Why, because if BOTH sides continue to wave off any allegations against a politician as politically motivated, then there will never be ANY rooting out of corruption or evil, because neither side will want to look into anything. I think that's a very bad thing. I mean.... unless people just don't care about corruption, lies and coverups? And if that's the case, then we deserve to lose this country.

Yes there are. But until we know somebody is guilty, my faith and sense of right and wrong demands proof before somebody is convicted by gossip, rumor, innuendo. I believe God deeply frowns on bearing false witness and judging and accusing people when no proof of wrong doing has been presented. And certainly judging someone of being criminal because he/she thinks or believes differently than (the generic) you do is in itself a sin.

Sec trafficking is a federal crime.

Socially Liberal Republicans lol

Then why was the federal DOJ doing the sex trafficking investigation if it isn't against federal law? Hmmmm.

I agree with you on that. However, as someone who used to have a website exposing corruption in government (it was about the Clintons, and it was many years ago) when I hear certain things that are disturbing but my gut is telling me there is something to it....I feel compelled to dig deeper and get to the actual truth. To me the only thing that matters is the truth.

While I absolutely agree with what you said about bearing false witness or convicting someone before we know they are guilty, I don't think there is anything wrong with investigating and looking into the evidence, and trying to get to the truth. In fact, Ephesians 5:11-14 says "do not take part in works of darkness, but expose it." So there's nothing wrong with wanting to dig deeper and get to the bottom of things.

Right. And we know that women never lie under oath for political purposes.

"The two witnesses have massive credibility problems. The claims arose from Joel Greenberg, “one of the most corrupt Florida politicians of all time,” according to Florida reporter Marc Caputo, who is now with the anti-Trump media outlet The Bulwark.
Among many things the former Seminole County tax collector admitted to as part of a wide-ranging case for which he is currently serving 11 years in prison was falsely accusing local political opponent Brian Beute of having sex with a minor, similar to the outlandish claim he made against Gaetz."
