Matt Gaetz Under Federal Investigation Over Possible Sexual Relationship With A Teenage Girl

[DrLove]

View attachment 474864

Understand he claimed it was "mission creep".
IOW, when a creep dates a 17 year old - arresting him could lead to finding that he dated girls even younger - 14, 15 or 16 maybe. ;-)

 

[schmidlap]

He has that Televangelist look about him.

Oooo! An alternate career change if NewsMax has fulfilled its clown quota!

Something doesn't add up, Gaetz is gay, he has a live in Cuban boytoy that is half his age, Matty likes boys, not girls.

He could be bisexual.

I read on another message board from someone who lives in his district that this is the word in his Florida district. My former Congressman (Repub) was gay and his supporters never brought that up, open secret. He resigned because of a federal investigation into him bilking his supporters by using donations to party, travel, and attend concerts with.

If you read from an anonymous person, person who claims he lives in his district on another message board, then it must be true. You often gossip this way or do you generally gossip over a fence with the other gossips?

I have no real reason to doubt that person, they live in his district and have their ear on the street, unlike what you'll hear from biased news sources, of which those left leaning or right leaning won't bring up, one in denial, the other afraid of of being politically incorrect.

I could give two shits, but when it involves minors, then that changes quickly, and I want answers. His appearance on Tucker's show raises more questions than it gives answers.

Not 1 government official has stated that there is a criminal investigation against Gaetz. Kinda fake insurrection on 1/6. Leftists always accuse others what they are guilty of. You pedo losers who can't find wives and get married. You are still mad because you never got invited to the cool kids lunch table in High School, losers.

It is the policy of the FBI and the Department of Justice to refuse to comment on ongoing investigations, until charges are laid, and to never comment on an investigation where charges are not filed, although the frequency with which news of such investigations being "leaked" for political purposes, knows no bounds.

It is hardly surprising that the Trump Administration sat tight on the news of the Gaetz Investigation given that Trump is such a big fan of the "Trumpier than Trump" representative. Gaetz devoted his entire reelection campaign to his love and adoration of Donald Trump. He's a total ass-kisser, and syncophant. Trump loves those who kiss butt and kiss it often.

 

[odanny]

I'll let you decide: blah blah.....
News-Weak? I have decided instantly to disregard the claims made due to the
agitprop pumped out by this long time leftist source.
Amount of solid proof provided that demonstrates the Hunter Biden laptop story is an invention
straight from Moscow? ZERO!
Same as the amount of credence and respect your post has.

You can discredit the publication if you like, but the publication is not the source.

I already said they need to investigate and if they try and convict, then he should get the maximum punishment.

But I don’t take the word of anonymous person on a message board who is relaying another person who is anonymous on a message board who heard it on the street. I’ll wait for the investigation and weigh the facts, not rumors and gossip.

Ask AMart he certainly knows a lot about Destin on down to Panama City. Wouldn't surprise me from his posts he's part of the family.

I do live somewhere in his district and yes it has been rumored for sometime. Just rumors though, lol.

 

[bodecea]

Because it's been exposed as Russian disinformation, fed to useful idiots like Rudy Guiliani and Ron Johnson and . . . you.

Sure, you stupid ape. Hunter Biden's own laptop filled with Biden's own "interesting" videos and comments
is all the work of the Russians.

Maybe Robert Mueller knows how the Russians did that, he was such a wizard getting to the bottom
of claims that Trump was Putin's ally. Russia, Russia, Russia, right?
You are relentlessly stupid and a dupe.

The soggy laptop......

Personally, I'm kinda tickled by this teen-age drama (meaning Baby Gaetz and the alleged gal) that is unfolding.

My avatar's take on the persona of Baby Gaetz (btw, that's not my term. It's what newspapers in FL have long titled Matty-boy. It's a nod to his old man, Don Gaetz, who was president of the Florida state Senate.)
(Btw2, that's not the only derisive name the newspapers have hung on Matty. His panhandle district's Pensacola paper has called him an "entitled ne'er do-well"; and a Florida political rival has stated Baby Gaetz "would be an Ass't Manager at the local Wal-Mart if not for his Dad' money.")

Anyway, enough of that snarky stuff. My avatar's take on the persona of Matt Gaetz is that he is a little rich kid who hasn't grown up because Daddy Warbucks has protected him and nurtured his narcissisms (got him out of a DUI after Matty wrecked Daddy's BMW, for one.).

I could be wrong, but he comes across as a bratty little Karen-with-a-dick.
But that's just an opinion.
Mine.

(btw3......Daddy was embroiled in an ugly Medicare fraud scheme where his company ended up paying a $75 million fine to settle with the DOJ).

All of that snark, helpfully overlain by informed news, is merely a lead in to this morning's Washington Post 'Fact Checker' piece on Matty-boy's claim that "travel records" show that he is innocent.

Here's how Glen Kessler's staff of fact-checker's at WaPo view that claim (spoiler alert: it is 4 Pinnochio's):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The Pinocchio Test

Gaetz said: “The New York Times is running a story that I have traveled with a 17-year-old woman, and that is verifiably false. People can look at my travel records and see that that is not the case.”

This fact check is strictly about Gaetz’s claim that his publicly available travel records would debunk reporting in the New York Times and other outlets. The news organizations reported only that he is under investigation over an alleged sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl, not that it actually happened.

The fact that he is under investigation is indisputable. Gaetz has not been charged with any crime and denies these allegations. But he also has confirmed the investigation’s existence.
As a House member, Gaetz is not required to file disclosures concerning his private life and expenses. The disclosure forms he has filed do not disprove that he is under investigation for traveling with a 17-year-old girl or arranging her travel.

We searched through all the available records and found nothing to support Gaetz’s claim. We repeatedly asked his staff to show us the records and heard crickets. We asked Gaetz directly — nothing, radio silence.

As regular readers know, the burden of proof is on the speaker*. Gaetz is putting up a smokescreen, falsely reassuring viewers with nonexistent evidence. He earns Four Pinocchios. Show us the travel records, and the rating may change.
Four Pinocchios
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So there is that for Baby Gaetz.



*btw4, I underlined that 'burden of proof' statement as a not-so subtle signal to too many posters who make assertions on this venue. And when asked to back 'em up, or offer sourcing ...... they then state it is up to the reader to vet the speaker's claim, or to "look-it-up-yourself").

Gerry Studs got a standing ovation for having sex with a 17 yo page...I guess the difference is party affiliation...

Studs was a despicable human being, he was censured and then go re-elected several times more after that. No criminal charges, nothing. It was disgusting the way everyone looked away.

Joe Scarborough was an up and coming Republican from there at one time. Now he is to the left of Chairman Mao!

Joe didn't leave the party - The party left him. He's still a fiscal conservative. None of those left win the Trumpublican party. You only whine about debt when convenient.

Joe is a full blown Progressive Socialist and deep stater. And Debt is a problem that both parties accuse but the debts grow for different reason.

Bill Barr avoided Baby Gaetz like the plague.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr actively avoided Rep. Matt Gaetz in public while the Justice Department was conducting a sex-trafficking investigation into the Florida representative, Politico reported.​

​

As this was going on, Barr went to lengths to avoid being seen with Gaetz in public, Politico reported, citing an unnamed person with knowledge of the investigation.​

​

On one occasion, Politico reported, the Justice Department even pulled Barr out of a social meeting with Republican Party members of the House Judiciary Committee when it saw that Gaetz was also attending.​

Bill Barr avoided Matt Gaetz in public while the DOJ was conducting its sex-trafficking investigation, report says

The DOJ has since 2020 been investigating whether Gaetz had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old and paid for her travel to meet him.

[sartre play]

Gaetz accused, just sick of the way to discredit some one is there sex life. The man spews nothing but hate filled BS. Don't tell me about his sex life until you have proof. Prefer you check the things he says for there lack of honesty.

The CIA, NSA, etc. the whole stew of alphabet agencies we have learned not to trust or rely on.
No thanks. The FBI took possession of the Hunter Biden laptop and that's the last anyone ever heard
of it. If you've ever seen the Indiana Jones movie where the ark of the covenant is put in a box and
filed away in an endless, vast and dark warehouse you get the idea.

It seems to me, or any other rational thinking human being, if there was nothing there to see
on Captain Crack Pipe's lap top then there is no point in keeping it hidden.

The more you cover something up the more people will rightly believe there are things the Government/
Media complex doesn't want you to know. All your efforts at obfuscation are a waste.

Gerry Studs got a standing ovation for having sex with a 17 yo page...

That one flew over my head.
Who is Gerry Studs?

Well, google is our friend.
And now I know.

Still, ain't we reaching back a ways (the guys been dead 15years).....to reference a sex crime (?) that happened 32 years ago. FYI, perhaps the longest serving GOP House Speaker, Dennis Hastert, maybe would've been more current?

ps.....Honestogod? A standing ovation? Tell us more about that, please. Where? When? By who? How do you know?


(thank you google):
Gerry Eastman Studds (/ˈɡɛri/; May 12, 1937 – October 14, 2006) was an American Democratic Congressman from Massachusetts who served from 1973 until 1997. He was the first openly gay member of Congress. In 1983 he was censured by the House of Representatives after he admitted to a consensual relationship with a 17-year-old page.

Studds was re-elected to the House six more times after the 1983 censure. He fought for many issues, including environmental and maritime issues, same-sex marriage, AIDS funding, and civil rights, particularly for gays and lesbians. Studds was an outspoken opponent of the Strategic Defense Initiative missile defense system, which he considered wasteful and ineffective, and he criticized the United States government's secretive support for the Contra fighters in Nicaragua.[

If Trumpy was reupped for another term and Billy was still at the helm, you can bet he would have buried this investigation.
