Gaetz is ****ed.

 

I hope he is.  You hope he is.

 

We'll see what actually happens though.  I mean, he might lose his seat or something but whatever.  He'll wind up on Fox News and be just fine.

According to Federal law, if someone takes a minor under age 18 across state lines and has sex, that's a felony no matter what the age of consent is in the originating state. 

 

Gaetz is ****ed.

 

True. What I was wondering is whether he'll try to use a "We never did anything sexual" defense. Hard to prove one way or the other unless the girl says they did. Even then it's he said she said. He's also the kind of scumbag who would either threaten her or bribe her to say they didn't.

Matt Gaetz: "Providing for flights and hotel rooms for people that you're dating who are of legal age is not a crime"

 

Narrator: "17 is not of legal age"

 

 

 

Also, even if he didn't technically do anything sexual with her.........he's 38 goddamn years old and admitted to being in some sort of relationship with her. What in the actual **** is he even doing associating in any romantic way with a ****ing 17 year old? That's incredibly disturbing.

He probably imagines it normal, because he felt comfortable enough to take his 17 year old “friend” to dinner date with Tucker (who is 51) and his wife.  If one of my friends showed up to dinner with a 17 year old, I’d certainly have a problem with it, and my wife’s eyes would glow with rage.

I'm 43. If someone showed up to dinner with a 17 year old girl my immediate assumption would be that it was his daughter or maybe niece (then I'd wonder why he randomly decided to bring his daughter or niece out to dinner.)

 

If he said it was his date my eyes would probably go wide but I'd initially keep quiet because I wouldn't want to make a scene or make the girl feel embarrassed or bad.

 

Then I'd find an excuse to get him alone and ask him what in the **** he was thinking and why in the hell he would believe that taking a 17 year old girl on a date was even in on the same plane of existence as a good idea.

 

If it was a friend I'd start to rethink the friendship. If it was someone I only knew as an acquaintance I'd probably cut it off after that.

I remember showing up at a restaurant with my 22 year old girlfriend and everyone muttering cradle robber and pedophile. It got so bad it completely ruined our 10 year anniversary...

More and more I am convinced that it takes a certain psychopath to aspire to be in Congress and the country (states, districts) would be better off using a random lottery drawing to choose who represents us.  This guy has demonstrated he's nothing but a politician and raised money for politics his whole life.

Tucker constantly has the expression of a dog that’s just been shown a magic trick.

I think he’s in a pretty red district. He would be re-elected if he ran

I mean is it really that much of a shock that a "rising star" in Trump's GOP announces out of nowhere a day or so ago that he might not run for re-election and instead go work for.......Newsmax?  Can't be a coincidence, he knew this was coming, and he was already mapping out an exit strategy.

That won't keep him out of jail.

Concur.  Right now, I'd bet the only impact this has on him is maybe pushing him to take a job in conservative media that he's already probably leaning towards.  He'd probably win an election in his district by more after this, assuming he doesn't actually go to prison, and I think prison is a long shot based on what we know at this point.

Has anyone checked with Susan Collins to see if she is deeply concerned over this yet?

Not enough, but it's a start:

 

McCarthy Says GOP Will Dump Gaetz from Committees if Allegations Are True: ‘We Would Remove Him’

 

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said Wednesday that House Republicans would support removing Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) from his committee assignments if allegations related to a Department of Justice investigation are true.

 

“I haven’t heard from DOJ, I haven’t been able to talk to Matt Gaetz yet,” McCarthy said in prefacing his comments in an interview with Fox News’ Dana Perino. “I just read the story. Those are serious implications. If it comes out to be true, yes, we would remove him.”

 

However, he added, “Right now, he says it is not true, and we don’t have any information. Let’s get all the information.”

 

Perino also asked McCarthy whether he knew why Gaetz voted against 2017 legislation related to human trafficking, to which McCarthy replied, “No, I have no idea whatsoever why he would vote against that.”

I would hope of the allegations are true he would be expelled from Congress and face jail time.

[mistertim]

Bull****. McCarthy will check with Trump first. And whether Trump gives it a thumbs up or thumbs down probably depends on whether Gaetz had the girl bring an underage friend for Trump when they were together.
