Matt Gaetz under federal investigation for relationship with underaged girl

The problem with pointing out a federal investigation is that we know the feds are partisan hacks from Russian collusion and the raid on Mar a lago.

So, that’s just a badge of honesty these days…!

I still have not seen a good example of Russia meddling in our elections to this day.

So, please show me one! I’ll be waiting… lol!

Yep it looks like it was probably a ruse to either help Gaetz resign or get him out of Congress.

This guys is a former department head and prosecutor. And our next AG i bet.

Not directly as in vote manipulation. But the ongoing disinformation efforts are very real.

Mr. Johnson said it would be a “terrible breach of protocol” for the House Ethics Committee, which investigated Mr. Gaetz over sexual misconduct, illicit drug use and other allegations, to make public its findings because Mr. Gaetz is no longer a member of Congress.

Mhmmmm

To the senate…. Not the public

Retribution. Gaetz can inflict a lot of wrath in six months.

You’re seeing what I’m seeing. :wink:

“Attorney General Merrick Garland accused state broadcaster RT, formerly Russia Today, of paying a Tennessee firm $10m to “create and distribute content to US audiences with hidden Russian government messaging”.

Ten million dollars. The Kamala campaign spent over a billion. Just to clarify the degree of this interference.

Honestly I am Not sure the point you are trying to make here? Are you saying Russia paying $10 mill is not a concern because of the insane amount the Harris campaign spent?

I’m saying it’s not a serious concern. It is a drop in the ocean of propaganda that was paid for and the greater damage is the publicity of the occurrence more than anything they would get for $10m.
In fact, I think I was pretty clear.

Don’t we pretty much do that with every foreign government on the planet? ie meddle in their elections?

I don’t know what the CoJ is?

If what is being said is true whats the big deal? Never got the issue with the jd vance or dnc hillary hacks. Are People supposed to ignore reality because it came from russia or iran?

Of course it is a serious concern when foreign powers attempt to influence election outcomes with false and misleading information. Many Americans use social media to help them decide who they will vote for. If that social media is heavily biased for or against a particular candidate by foreign interests, it is a very serious concern.

Amount of money spent isn’t the determining factor, it is the effectiveness of the false or misleading information.

The only lies I’ve seen big enough to affect our elections are the lies that the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation.
And then there was the FBI pressuring Twitter to delete Americans accounts that disagreed with the government line.
Misinformation by our own government is by far the greater risk. And they have misused the fear of Russian disinformation to spread it.

This is the corrupt, DC establishment fighting for their corrupt lives, again using our judicial system to punish those they deem their enemies and Matt Gaetz…is truly…their enemy. Now which side are you on, to continue the DC corruption or drain the swamp and it’s just that simple? Where do you stand?

Are you implying that the Matt Gaetz accusations are made up government propaganda?

I’m saying that if they aren’t, they’ve had PLENTY of time to prove it and prosecute him. THE FACT that they haven’t, strongly suggests that there is no prosecutable crime.

Those kinds of sexually predator cases can sometimes be difficult to prosecute. That in and of itself doesn’t remove suspicion. In this particular case, the ethics committee investigation tends to lend credence to the possibility the guy might be a sexual predator. I seriously doubt he will survive the confirmation process.

There’s going to be a lot of pressure to get the then-17 year old and the eye-witness to testify. Unless Trump pulls off a recess appointment Gaetz is toast.
