Things just keep getting worse for Matt Gaetz!

He will get everything that he has coming to him! If I remember, didn’t he say “if you commit a crime? You should be put in jail!”? He was speaking about Hillary Clinton and the so-called pizza gate story and the Benghazi hearings. My father always told me “be careful of what you wish for, because it can bite you in the ass when you least expect it to”!

might still try and elect him. I’m in metro Jacksonville and my observation is that many of those people qualify for FloridaMan/Woman status, they are staggeringly stupid.

but living in central Florida with a place in Tallahassee, I'm inclined to agree. The panhandle is a whole different world!

...i realize they need some time to build a case, but if, instead of matt gaetz, they were going after some average person on the street for the same crimes, that person would be in prison already. i mean, didn't this investigation get started under barr in 2019 or 2020?

same with the january 6th investigation. we all saw with our eyes what happened that day. we see the evidence mounting that trump and his cabal planned the coup. why are these people still walking the streets? if the committee doesn't wrap this up by year's end, there might be republican rule after the mid-terms (with many people in power who should be in prison instead) and then there will be no hope of justice.

the longer they let this stuff take, the more it starts to fade from the public's minds.

I believe that it's taking so long because the investigation is widening out to potentially include "others." Who the others are, we can't say right now. But it's getting interesting!

This news from the Daily Beast, dated two days ago, January 26, 2022:

“Big Joe” Ellicott, a former Florida shock jock with potentially key information about the sex trafficking ring involving Rep. Matt Gaetz, has pleaded guilty in federal court, The Daily Beast has learned.

Ellicott is the long-time best friend of corrupt Florida tax official Joel Greenberg, who was Gaetz’s wingman in the underage sex operation, according to several sources with direct knowledge of their relationship. Last year, The Daily Beast revealed that Ellicott knew intimate details about the teenage girl who was paid for sex by the group—and actually texted what essentially amounted to a confession that they were scrambling to try and coverup details about their sex with a 17-year-old from the feds."
