Fla. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R) accused of sex trafficking



At 5:15

MG: I can say that about two years ago you and I went to dinner about two years ago. Your wife was there. I brought a friend of mine, you will remember her. And she was actually threatened by the FBI. Told that if she wouldn't cop to the fact that somehow I was involved in some "pay for play" scheme that she could face trouble. And so I do believe there are people at the DOJ who are trying to smear me. Providing for flights and hotel rooms for people that you are dating that are of legal age is not a crime.

TC: I don't know this woman of whom who speak.

LOL

I really hope this is fake. Gaetz is literally the future of the GOP

Then the GOP needs to rethink its future. The Thomas Massies, Rand Pauls and Justin Amashes of the world should be the future. It's time to pick substance over style.

Oh for $#@!'s sake...son my ass.

IKR? Something is definitely funky with Gaetz. He should have been better vetting. Thanks [MENTION=58229]TheCount[/MENTION] for the find.

So [MENTION=58229]TheCount[/MENTION] finds a spurious news feed that makes accusations without fact and you buy into it? Really?

There is something odd going on with Gaetz. You can pick that up just watching the Tucker Carlson story. I hadn't heard about the Cuban until yesterday though. But he does seem to be more into women.

what is the “Wow” moment you got from that article?

It's not your normal story. Lot's of smoke around Gaetz. Maybe he's kosher, maybe he's not. I'm leaning not at this point.

Edit: That said there seems to be more evidence that he likes (barely?) legal girls than boys.

He does have a weirdly large forehead. Which is known to be correlated with pedo.

He probably fucks babies.

Is my guess.

LOL. At the very least I think he's paid for sex. When he was on Tucker Carlson trying to get Tucker to remember the woman he was dating then going on to day "There's nothing wrong with paying for flights and hotel rooms for someone you're dating" when Tucker hadn't even brought that up (and Tucker made it clear he didn't remember the woman), that was questionable. That said, I don't think the voluntary exchange of money for services (no pun intended) should be illegal. It's the black market aspect of prostitution that makes it dangerous.

I don't know exactly what he did. It seems like he didn't exchange cash for sex. He is saying he supported a certain lifestyle for these women. A sugar daddy sort of deal. That isn't illegal. Not really my concern if all parties were consenting adults. Lets face it, lots of rich and powereful men and women have these sorts of arrangements. As long as the 17 year old part of the story isn't true, who cares?

Oh I absolutely don't care. But from a legal perspective he might be in jeopardy. The latest revelation is that he gave $900 to his buddy who split it between 3 women claiming it was for "tuition." That buddy has now struck a plea deal. If he turns states evidence and testifies that the money really was just cash payments for sex....

It seems to me that the age issue will be the crucial factor, and especially if it involved crossing state lines. If you take that out of the equation, then I doubt that they'll be able to prove that anything he did was as simple as flat out exchanging sex for money. Even if they did have sex and he did give them money, and even if it was understood clearly between the parties involved that it was tit for tat, it would be too easy for him to reframe it as him giving them gifts and them having consensual sex as adults, and to argue that we can't possibly rebrand it as prostitution every time adult dating relationships have asymmetrical distribution of benefits whereby the males are motivated by the sexual satisfaction they get from the females while the females are motivated by the money the males spend on them. I think when people get successfully charged with prostitution, there's pretty much always either a recording of the deal being made or an undercover cop eye witnessing it.

And if they don't have that underage crossing of state lines factor to focus on, and they still do successfully prosecute Gaetz, then I bet there will be a whole lot of members of Congress who will get really scared about all the times they did essentially the same thing.
