Meh .... Just because the DOJ determined there was "not enough evidence to convict" Doesn't mean Gaetz is innocent. Publicly available information doesn't = what will secure a conviction in court. It sucks, but it's not the first time bad people get away with doing sketchy stuff. (see Trump) Hell, his accomplice/wingman testified and went to jail. They had text messages and witnesses. It's most likely not over. Or , Karma will get him in the end. He has always been a sexual predator. And, age has never mattered to him. Hoping the DOJ has something bigger in store for Gaetz, like 1/6.

That's the problem with media convictions, they don't always stand scrutiny.

Not sure what you mean by that - the media never said he would be convicted of anything, they just reported on the facts of the case they were aware of, which strongly indicate misconduct by Gaetz. Just because that misconduct won't land him in prison doesn't mean we should pretend it doesn't exist. I assume you accept that OJ killed Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman even though he wasn't convicted, for example.

Obviously people that are guilty do manage to walk away, my point is that Gaetz wasn't even charged, that demonstrates a lack of evidence.

I simply assumed the story was true because the guy is so creepy looking, and the few things I read about it assumed his guilt. If you take a look at the thread title right up at the top of the page, there is an assumption of guilt there as well.

No, the thread title is not assumption of guilt, it’s fact by easily viewable track record. Look it up.

This case was whether or not he engaged in trafficking and paying for sex with a minor. Again, not being charged doesn’t assume innocence or guilt. Being charged doesn’t assume guilt either.

Use Google.

Federal prosecutors almost never charge unless they are very confident of obtaining a conviction. It sounds like their witness to the sex trafficking charge itself was unreliable so that's a pretty big problem for securing a conviction.

I mean I think his guilt as to some sort of misconduct here is much more likely than not. I mean why was he transferring large sums of money to his friend who was indicted for sex trafficking, who then forwarded that money to young girls? Maybe you can't secure a conviction based on that but it stinks to high heaven.

I'd rather they drop the charges now and bring them later should a victim decide to come forward than to charge him and possibly fail to convict because of an untrustworthy primary witness. That being I think it's a little obvious what those Venmo payments were for.

The part in bold is the complete answer.
Like I said, the guy is creepy, so I simply accepted the story. The problem is there isn't any proof.

While there isn't 'proof' there is most certainly extensive evidence. Again, don't you find it a little odd that he was sending money to his sex trafficker friend who was then forwarding it to young girls? That's not sufficient to charge someone with solicitation of prostitution or sex trafficking or whatever but it's pretty hard to think of an innocent explanation for that.

And you have to consider that there likely may be enough evidence to charge him with statutory rape under Florida state law (age of consent is 18 there), but that's a state crime and it's not like a right wing Florida DOJ is going to prosecute one of its own.

Pretty fucking ridiculous to say there should be no male teachers cause one might be a perv when theres no shortage of female pervs teachers.

A person has gone viral on TikTok for interrupting a Matt Gaetz event in Fort Walton Beach with a sex doll.
The video, which has 106.8K views as of Friday afternoon, shows the TikTok user entering the event while Gaetz is speaking.

The user can be heard yelling “Matt Gaetz! I got you the underage girl!” while running into the event.


is he still trump's #1 water boy in congress or is it gym?
