    I watched a bit of his Tucker Carlson interview and it dawned on me that Gaetz looks a lot like a cheesy movie villain. In fact, he looks like the younger version of Dorian Tyrell from The Mask.

    Does the Gatz family have that kind of money that someone would ask them for 25 million dollars?

    The most unbelievable part of this story is that Joe Biden would Pardon Matt Geatz. That would be like Trump pardoning AOC. His whole distraction conspiracy theory he's trying to use to deflect is just plain stupid, and confusing.

    Did he traffic a 17 year old or did he not? Sounds like he did, and he's going to be indicted soon. That's really all that matters.

    The Republican party folks. Still need more of this? Yes... you guys do I guess so carry on.

    Age of consent in Florida is 18. If he had a sexual relationship in Florida with a minor, I'd rather see a statutory rape charge from state prosecutors than a sex trafficking charge from federal prosecutors. Maybe the facts of the case dictate this path (like perhaps they only had sex in DC where the age of consent is 16), but it sounds like the meat of the crime is under state authority and the feds are using a technicality to give themselves jurisdiction.

    It was stated from a federal case that's where they got the information, does not mean the state can't start a case once they get more info.

    Gaetz also said his family went to the FBI.

    Are you joking or are you really serious with this statement?

    I'm surprised Gym Jordan is supporting Gaetz.

    Well Deshaun is off the front page.

    By the way, transporting a minor over state lines for sex is a federal crime.

    First, 18 U.S.C. § 2423 makes it a felony punishable by a minimum of 10 years in prison (and by as much as life in prison) to “knowingly transport[] an individual who has not attained the age of 18 years in interstate or foreign commerce… with intent that the individual engage in prostitution, or in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense.”

    Sex with a 17 year old is Statutory rape.

    Who doesn't care about human trafficking? Seems like a bipartisan concern.

    Although....

    Then there was his unusual vote on a bill focused on combating sex trafficking during his first year in Congress. The bill passed by a 418-to-1 vote — with Gaetz offering the only “nay.”

    Since gaetz' DUI he wasn't able to go to bars anymore, so local high schools became his happy hunting grounds...

    If and when he is found guilty, the GOP scumbags will say its rigged.......its big media, its the left, its antifa, a witch hunt I tell ya. The GOP consists of some real winners....Gym Jordan only jumps in because he knows he's guilty as hell himself....allegedly :D
