    17 isn't a child, so l find the headline a bit unfair....

    BUT....

    I couldn't have any sort of relationship with someone that young because

    - I don't like K-Pop
    - I like women with a few miles on the clock. If I wanted to be a teacher, I'd have listened at school
    - They can't cook or iron to my liking
    - I wouldn't want a gal that gives my 18 year old a boner

    In my BG days, I couldn't stand the vacuosness of late teens. Not even 22 years ago.

    17 - not a pedo but has a few screws loose.

    So it is now reported that:
    "New York Times: Matt Gaetz sought preemptive pardon in final weeks of Trump's presidency "

    New York Times: Matt Gaetz sought preemptive pardon in final weeks of Trump's presidency - CNNPolitics

    So it begs the question, Why would an innocent man need a pardon?

    ^And his heinous crime such as the sex with 17 yo old - in case it's true - still hasn't brought him down? But perhaps it will take some time as in case of other big guy(s) accused of multiple sex abuses? It needs to repeat very often: "I do not resign"...

    Or is it suppressed somehow by the extortion story of $25 mil.? Or is it a conspiracy? Or are the leaked mails and contacts to Israel a fake news? Obviously, when not shown in MSM...

    Unless the trump administration was conspiring against him , since the investigation was instigated by the Barr DOJ, I would say there is substance to the allegations and not a conspiracy.
    As far as the extortion allegation is concerned , even if true, it does not absolve him of the crime for which he is suspected of. it simply makes someone else guilty of another crime.

    What do you mean, different reporting? are you saying that maybe he is not investigated by the DOJ, and that the investigation was not started by the Barr DOJ under the trump administration? Do different reporting sources you might want to share?

    Trump and his allies abandon Gaetz


    Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) built a public profile as an unapologetic, unambiguous, omnipresent booster of President Donald Trump.


    But as his own political career skids toward disaster amid allegations that he had sex with a minor and paid for sex with women of legal age, neither Trump nor anyone in the ex-president’s orbit is rushing to Gaetz’s defense. A group that often instinctively decries any such charge as part of some nefarious, coordinated witch hunt from deep-state operators has, instead, said virtually nothing at all.


    “Not a lot of people are surprised,” said one person involved in Trump’s post-presidential operations.


    In the days since news broke that the Department of Justice was looking into whether Gaetz had violated sex trafficking laws — an allegation he denies — no Trump aide or family member has tweeted about the Florida congressman. Nor have almost any of the most prominent Trump surrogates or Trump-allied conservatives and media personalities, including Sean Hannity, Dan Bongino, Charlie Kirk or American Conservative Union Chair Matt Schlapp, at whose annual CPAC conference Gaetz had recently appeared.

    You've got to wonder though, if there is substance to it, why is he not being charged.

    Charges will be laid when evidence collection has been finalised or enough has been collected to start the process . . . the guy is hardly a flight-risk.

    I hope that his heinous crime will not distract the public from other - sometime not so heinous - crimes...

    And yet, with parental (and sometime judicial) permission, US states can allow marriage at the age of 12 (what the fuck Massachusetts), many at 16, some at 17, and a damn few stick to 18 as the minimum age (with or without parental consent).

    Well, my point was rather that they need to make it a uniform 18, but uh - OK.

    I don't think an adult man in his late 30's being with a minor is ever really 'OK'. At the very least it's creepy as fuck and you'd have to wonder about the mentality of someone like that.

    Speaking of which Fluke over on TC has been up to his usual Flukeish tricks trolling over his relationship with his 15/16/17/18--it depends who you ask--year old girlfriend.

    It was just Reported that prosecutors have records that Gaetz made a late nighr $900 Venmo payment to Joel Greenberg , The next morning, over the course of eight minutes, Greenberg used the same app to send three young women varying sums of money. In total, the transactions amounted to $900.
    The memo field for the first of Gaetz’s transactions to Greenberg was titled “Test.” In the second, the Florida GOP congressman wrote “hit up ___.” But instead of a blank, Gaetz wrote a nickname for one of the recipients.
    The funds by Greenburg were described as for “Tuition,” “School,” and “School.

    Now they are adding theft of Covid relief funds to his charges, I suspect there's a good chance Gaetz' "mate" might actually roll over on him.
