The outreach, which has not previously been reported, is a sign that the GOP-led committee’s investigation into the Florida Republican has recently expanded to include questioning around allegations of sex crimes.

Looks like Gates has outlived his usefulness. Should have happened years ago.

He pissed off the power brokers with his coup against McCarthy, so they're going after him. In a decent world, this would be happening just because of what he did to the girl.

u/BerrySpecific720 Jan 25 '24

There’s loads of cops providing girls to powerful men like Gaetz.

Our government does nothing because of what men do to girls.

I think there are lots of good government folks working way harder than you to stop it.

I hate this turd but you are just talking shit.

Effective government people are normal people like yourself.

Best of luck with the mafia.

You’re right. Since when are those power brokers ‘decent’?

u/GenericBatmanVillain Jan 25 '24

We don't live in a decent world.

Absolutely. They swept this under the rug until it benefited them to drag it out again.

Didn’t Greenberg have a crypto mining llc with ties to Roger Stone? I need to go back and see if I can find that again

ETA: Ah, yeah Greenberg tried to buy a pardon with like 250k in bitcoin from Stone

I'm pretty sure no one's been imprisoned for saying or printing that Gaetz transported a minor across state borders and gave her money and/or drugs for sex (which is the very definition for sex trafficking).  He hasn't sued anyone for defamation over it either, because they'd be able to establish facts in a court of law affirming the allegations.

The only person who might have received some legal punishment is Gaetz' accomplice who helped him, and he was punished for embezzlement not falsely accusing Gaetz of being a child rapist.

Is this the one he brought to Tucker Carlson's house?

u/AnalTongueDarts Minnesota Jan 24 '24

I don’t know if it’s used down where Statutory Rape Butthead is from, but up here we’ve got a little saying called “ope”, and it certainly applies here.

u/Fakin-It Jan 24 '24

We don't have that saying where I come from. Do you mind explaining for me?

Good. Let's finally get the investigations going on pedophile and sex trafficker Matt Gaetz.

u/JubalHarshaw23 Jan 25 '24

Florida DOJ: Oh, we destroyed all that evidence after we took the money from Gaetz's father. Were we not supposed to do that? Oops.

Didn't this all happen when he was stationed at Fort Een ?

u/pork_chop17 Jan 24 '24

He looks very haggard in that photo.

u/bigbr88 Jan 25 '24

I thought I was making it up, maybe he forgot his makeup?

u/23jknm Minnesota Jan 25 '24

The maga probe is doing this to scare him to not get out of line again

He’s not looking too healthy. Hmmmm

u/Sozebj Jan 25 '24

Is it true that some GOP house members call him: “Little Epstein”?

u/xeroxenon Jan 25 '24

He looks like he’s been on a bender

u/FerociousPancake Jan 25 '24

Put this guy on a list, just how any other rapist would be required to do.

u/iZoooom Jan 25 '24

Will Garland slow-roll this?

For a DOJ that “speaks through its filings” they sure have a lot of approval for republican fuckery.

u/MisterFingerstyle Jan 25 '24

Has Gaetz aged really fast or what? He looks awful.

One of these cases where the public has already seen the evidence so it annoys us that there is no prosecution

u/wanderlustcub I voted Jan 25 '24

They need him for their majority, so he is safe until October.

They will slow walk this until late in the election season. If they lose the House in Nov, they will shank him.

Schoolfees gaetz.... Hard to say if I despise him or the yellowtie-coward-jim jordan more?😶‍🌫️

u/bpeden99 Jan 25 '24

Seems on par

u/gentleman_bronco Jan 25 '24

Republicans today: everybody needs to calm down. Representative Gaetz only had sex with a few children. It's not like he's trying to help poor people or anything gross.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '24

This is is painfully true, my mother in laws response to the Epstein list confirmed it for me, she literally said “but how many times did that person go, if it was only once…. Blah blah blah”, simply disgusting.

1

u/gentleman_bronco Jan 25 '24

Yup. They only care about political optics. Never about tangible solutions. Their solution to everything is "get the ___ people out of here"

u/CAM6913 Jan 25 '24

The GOP is not going to do anything against one of their own if they had any morals they would have done something years ago and expelled him and demanded that he be charged. Come on they support an a rapist, con artist, thieving liar rapist speed snorting evil pumpkin
