It's sad that one does a quick check on this kind of thing now, instead of laughing it off immediately.
GOP says good riddance to Gaetz — with most refusing to even say his name WASHINGTON – Republicans on Capitol Hill are celebrating after former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) withdrew his nomination for attorney general. Publicly, many won’t even say his name. “I do not intend to take the oath of office for the same office in the 119th Congress to pursue the position of Attorney General in the Trump administration,” the congressman said in his resignation letter. Matt Gaetz's withdrawal from consideration to be attorney general came just 45 minutes after CNN asked him about allegations of a second sexual encounter with a 17-year-old girl. "The woman, who was 17 years old at the time, testified that the second sexual encounter, which has not previously been reported, included another adult woman," CNN reported. "She also testified to both sexual encounters in a civil deposition as part of a related lawsuit, sources said."
Gaetz knows the confirmation process would have involved revealing the ethics committee report about Gaetz's sexual misconduct to all of America instead of the report continuing to be a private matter...Ethics Committee secret that the rest of America that the FBI report didn't reveal or discover. On top of that, the dimwit Marjorie Taylor Greene got involved by publically stating she would reveal other Republicans that have allegations of sexual misconduct if the ethics committee released the report or revealed the report during Matt Gaetz's confirmation process. In my opinion, that statement by Marjorie Taylor Greene changed everything about the secrecy of the ethics committee, says a lot about other Republicans that may happen to be other people that Trump has selected to run America's government agencies and it says a lot about Trump himself. Matt Gaetz has now realized he should have never accepted Trump's offer of the DOJ. The good thing, Gaetz will be out of Congress because he resigned in an effort. Maybe all of this was a ploy with Trump's help so that Gaetz could leave Congress without any criminal trials...making it more chaos. Some say the next recommendation for DOJ (Pam Bondi) is the real person that Trump wanted to run the DOJ now that the Gaetz problem is resolved. By the way, is Pam Bondi the lawyer that Trump was seen using his shoulder to push her at his Hush Money criminal trial??? In the meantime, Trump selected Linda McMahon to lead the Department of Education (a department Trump wants to get rid of). She knowingly enabled the sexual exploitation of children by a World Wrestling Entertainment(WWE) employee as early as the 1980s — allegations she denies. WTF??? Did Marjorie Taylor Greene give Trump a list of all the Republicans with alleged sexual misconduct as a list for Trump to choose his cabinet??? wrbtrader
Pan Bomdi will henceforth be named "fun-bags". Trump needs to run a competition for one position. I guess project 25 has that covered.
Of course, technically, Matt is not a pedophile. But I'll have somebody else explain this. https://youtube.com/shorts/EKsEQhMP608?si=QPIdlDSBBD5vGeMa
As a we must split hairs leftist I'm surprised that you're seemingly unaware that age of consent is what's relative in a courtroom. As to the payments made to the little sharmoota to keep quiet, perhaps we can consult with Barnie Frank as to how that works with the "hired help". Democrats used to be so open minded about such sordid affairs.
