Sometimes you Gaetz karma (2 Viewers)

I guess being a butt crevice doesn’t put you above the law. The investigation started under Barr. Trump officials were aware of it.

Prediction: The 17 year old in question is his “son”, and the extortion claim is a bribery scheme gone wrong.

It makes you wonder if that was one of many primary factors President Trump was using as convenient, necessary "political leverage" against Gaetz and other Reps. who Trump or his cronies in his administration knew about, discovered or had the means to distribute career-destroying scandalous information in case he and others started having doubts about supporting Trump's policies or adhering to his MAGA cult of personality.

I believe this sex scandal also illuminates into greater focus why Gaetz was the sole no-vote in a 2017 anti-human trafficking bill that had broad bipartisan support when first proposed, and then passed, IIRC.

Considering the DOJ and FBI are remaining mum about all of this, including the extortion accusations, tells me ole Matt might want to keep his mouth shut (he can't though).

Sadly, no. His lip seems to do that all the time.

Par for the course, Matt. I'm sure the party has a problem with this... NOT!!!

Oh, it gets worse. Grown men acting worse than many middle school boys with a “point” system. Super stupid.

This, however, was petty enough to make me chuckle.

Yeah, they both have a previous arrest and both got off, like most children of prominent fathers do.

Good. He needs to take a hike.

 

[SaulGoodmanEsq]

I don't know what will come of this but the allegations strike me as pretty 'on brand' for a guy like Gaetz.

Little background (pay wall, but you get to view a couple articles for free).

Trump and his allies abandon Gaetz

The congressman was a MAGA fixture. Now, engulfed in scandal, he’s persona non grata in Trumpworld.

www.politico.com

He's on his own...

The Daily Beast reported on Friday night that Trump himself was monitoring the situation but following the advice of aides to stay quiet about it. And several people familiar with their relationship said Gaetz and Trump have not spoken regularly lately, even after the lawmaker had offered to resign from Congress to join the ex-president’s impeachment defense team in February.

Operatives inside Trump World say the silence is owed to a variety of factors. Among them is the fact that Gaetz has always been regarded as a grenade whose pin had already been pulled. The congressman had a reputation for a wild personal lifestyle that, associates say, occasionally bordered on reckless. Some of Gaetz’s own aides would regularly send embarrassing videos of their boss to other GOP operatives, according to two people familiar with the videos.

“Anyone that has ever spent 10 minutes with the guy would realize he’s an unserious person,” said one former Trump campaign aide.

 

[MT15]

Okay, I’ll admit that a former Trump campaign aide calling Gaetz an “unserious” person made me laugh.

 

[DaveXA]

I thought this was pretty good. Lol.
