Firstly, who cares if he did have sex with a 17 year old? That isn’t even illegal – it’s illegal to buy them a plane ticket to come have sex with you in a different state, but that is difficult to prove.
You can’t even prove two people had sex at all, which is why this is what they always hit you with.
This is like how crooked cops used to carry around a bag of crack they can slip into your pocket when they’re arresting you.
The key figure in a Justice Department investigation into sex trafficking allegations involving Matt Gaetz told the House Ethics Committee that the former congressman had sex with her when she was 17 years old, according to a report.
The woman, who is now in her 20s, was subpoenaed by the ethics panel over the summer and testified that Gaetz had sex with her when she was a minor and still in high school, ABC News reported on Thursday.
The Florida Republican vehemently denied the allegations.
“These allegations are invented and would constitute false testimony to Congress,” Gaetz said in a statement provided to The Post. “This false smear following a three-year criminal investigation should be viewed with great skepticism.”
…
Sources told ABC News that the ethics panel conducted interviews with at least six women who allegedly partied with Gaetz and were paid by his former friend, Joel Greenberg.
Greenberg, a former local tax official in Florida, pleaded guilty to multiple federal charges, including sex trafficking, in May of 2021.
Of course Greenberg was a tax official trafficking underage hookers. And of course he is testifying against the government guy who the ADL claims is an antisemite.
Imagine my shock.
The Brandon Justice Department run by Greenberg’s cousin Merrick Garfield was trying to kike Gaetz for years. They were trying really hard and they couldn’t do it. So now they’re bringing this shit up again so it’s all through the Senate confirmation. It will be like that debacle with that fat Irish retard SCOTUS judge, what’s his face. Kavanaugh. Remember when they said he was running rape gangs? And there was no evidence? And also, running rape gangs is cool and fun and people who do it are awesome and should be running the courts?
The confirmation hearings for Gaetz are going to be an absolute fiasco and Trump is going to have to promise these rats everything they want if he hopes to get Gaetz (and Gabbard) confirmed.
The Committee’s star witness, Joel Greenberg, is a felonious liar who involves others in his lies.

After the text messages admitting Greenberg was paying for his victim’s attorneys, he confessed his lies to a jailhouse informant, who he was sharing a holding cell with in 2021. This jailhouse informant sent a letter to my attorneys confirming Greenberg:

However, NONE of this has been enough for the Committee. It seems the fix is in.
Their investigation exists to do what the voters of my district won’t – remove me from office.
Therefore, I will no longer voluntarily participate in this regrettable abuse of the Committee.
