Matt Gaetz Is Said to Be Investigated Over Possible Sexual Relationship With a Girl,

[Fugus]

Career prosecutors recommend no charges for Gaetz in sex-trafficking probe

well crap

The question then becomes, why?

Did he turn on someone bigger than him?

Did they legitimately not have enough evidence? Which is doubtful at this point.

Did they get themselves or their families threatened or bribed at which point it’s corruption?

Why did they advise such a thing given what we already have on it?

I don't know, I call bullshit on the whole thing. You don't give someone that has 40 some odd felonies against them a deal down to 10, if they have nothing. Especially when we know he asked for a pardon for this case.

Good. He did nothing wrong.

Except fucked a 17 year old and trafficked her across state and country lines. But you don't mind the pedophilia, do you? His venmo even proves it.

' that a conviction is unlikely in part because of credibility questions with the two central witnesses'

Basically they think the defense lawyers could convince a jury that the girl was a harlot who had turned 18 at the time and that Greenberg is an unreliable witness.

'Greenberg’s credibility would be a significant challenge for any prosecution of Gaetz, in part because one of the crimes Greenberg admitted to was fabricating allegations against a schoolteacher who was running against him to be a tax collector. Greenberg had sent letters to the school falsely claiming the teacher had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a student — a similar allegation to the Gaetz case.'

I do hope if this is the case that it factors into Greenberg's sentencing. No point in giving him a sweetheart deal if they can't make use of the information he provided because he's too unreliable of a witness for a trial.

Then again I imagine they have to have some like, actual records and hard evidence and shit and not just Greenberg's word.

Just an FYI, this dumbass that wrote this article, is an opinion writer, not an investigative journalist, he is the same dumbass that wrote an article stating that the FBI found no grand conspiracy during January 6th, 1 week before Seditious conspiracy charges started being filed.

https://twitter.com/capitolhunters/s...68603596181505
It specifically states that it is "people familiar with the matter", not prosecutors.

This person on this twitter feed goes into great depth with other articles by the same person, using the same bullshit excuse.

Hell, his conspiracy source was Johnathan fucking Turley.

So, don't count everything completely out.

[unfilteredJW]

Good. He did nothing wrong.

Poster is now on record saying being a pedophile is ok. Yikes.

[Dontrike]

Good. He did nothing wrong.

See, all this told us is you're okay with pedophiles, and that's not a good thing.

The only reason I can think you you defending this, is you're a kiddie fucker.

Go away paedophile. You're scum.

Greenberg's attorney Fritz Scheller reacts: “I have not received any information from the government regarding its decision to abandon its investigation and prosecution [of Matt Gaetz]. Nevertheless, based on my knowledge of the evidence, I would be surprised by such a decision.”

Joel Greenberg's attorney saying that they haven't heard anything about the investigation being abandoned. And they would know, since he would be on the hook for everything.

This is more likely the source to the article:

/s or not? Who knows.

I understand in much of America this only requires pointing out she's a woman.

the sad thing is the jury will go along with it

I've never seen a more punchable face.

Oh, I sure have. One senator from Texas. Tried to fly to Cancun. Read Green Eggs and Ham once to protest against healthcare for everyone.

[Milchshake]

People that complain: "Why won't the witness speak out against Matt Gaetz."
Same People that tore into AMber HEard for not donatintg correctly, making her totally unreliable.

Ok, you know how most guys faces look bigger with a beard. Somehow, his looks thinner. He also looks like Richard Rollins in this picture.

I hate to say it, but this is very likely true. Valid or invalid, going against a public figure will bring blowback. For some people, it's not worth it. That's how Trump decimated his work force by not paying them.

Doubly so when the public figure's base have a habit of hounding dissenters and 'enemies' with death threats - among other things. Rape and Sexual Abuse victims already have a hard enough time I can understand if they just don't want to deal with being abused by MAGA fuckeads for the rest of their life.

"Your honor, she wore a low cut shirt."

"Well I don't need any more convincing. She deserved it. Case closed!"

The Justice Department has informed lawyers for at least one witness that it will not bring charges against Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz after a years-long federal sex-trafficking investigation, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Senior officials reached out to lawyers for at least one witness on Wednesday, the source tells CNN, to inform them of the decision not to prosecute Gaetz.

The final decision was made by Department of Justice leadership after investigators recommended against charges last year.

Welp, I owe a donation and we can all rest easy knowing that being a wealthy white guy, especially a conservative with any power or influence, ensures that you can fly across state lines to pay to fuck minors and get away with it.

Being a wealthy, white Republican honestly seems like a fuckin superpower in the US.

[Breccia]

Well, if nothing else, at least we have a constant objective reminder that the GOP will accept proven pedophiles on their roster.
