    If there are so many straight up eyewitnesses to Gaetz’s pedophilic actions it makes me wonder what he gets up to when no one’s watching.

    “Merrick Garland’s DOJ cleared Matt Gaetz and didn’t charge him. Are you alleging Garland is part of a cover-up?” a spokesperson for Gaetz said Friday.

    I mean… you said it, not me. But now that you mention it, and in the context that Garland also deferred the investigation for two fucking years… yeah, maybe. Who fucking knows at this point?

    But to be perfectly honest, I expect this will all be swept under the rug, just like all the Trump cases. So good job slow-walking everything, Garland, you fucking quisling.

      Correct. Minors cannot consent to sex with an adult, thereby making any sex between them automatically rape.

      I love this legal technicality because it both acknowledges and provides legal means to handle the deep manipulation by the adult that must lead to and occurs in such an… interaction.

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

    First, watched? I have several dozen questions…

    Second…you didn’t immediately call the police to report a child was being raped?

      Making sure a pedophile is setup in the new Administration so that they can ban porn involving consenting adults.

        Even if they do ban porn, it will be an excuse to monitor and shape internet traffic first and foremost. They don’t care about filth, but they do want the ability to look for it, and mechanisms to restrict it. Then all of a sudden new reasons to restrict new content becomes more feasible and eventually the same idiot voters who screech about censorship will be the ones who help usher is the great firewall of China the United States.
