Lemons are one of those things I never let myself run out of. I always have to have on hand onions, lemons, limes, garlic, and olive oil. With those, you can make a meal out of damn near anything else you have on hand.

Oh, also, underage escorts. I make sure I never run out of those, either. That’s important.

Tried to find a lime in Frisco when a Jimmy Buffett concert was down the street. No luck.

I do think the Biden WH and Garland DOJ can be expected to be a little more interested in the actual law.  Problem is, cases like this seem to go away with minimal penalty even when the state isn't helmed by criminals.

Can you cite three precedents where something like this has gone away?  Or two?  One?

 

Not picking a fight or anything, but I can't remember any similar situations.

There's that time Thaddeus Stevens did a line of coke off the speaker's dais and then mooned the gallery. That never even went to the Ethics Committee.

Didn’t someone do some time in jail recently for misappropriation of campaign funds? Not sure getting your whore girlfriend a gubmint job is going to lead to much. All bets are off if the underage girl testifies or if his Eskimo bro as pics/video

Unless it's a mound of evidence sufficient to lock up a conviction, they can fuck off with their teaser bullshit.  It's just as fantastical and masturbatory bullshit as the right wing media is feeding it's braindead audience.

And seeing those stories....so the fuck what?  A Congressman paid escorts for sex and did lines of blow off their asses?  Heavens to Betsy, get me a fainting couch!  Such a thing has NEVER occurred before in the history of our wonderful America!

Doesn't even move the needle.  Certainly not anymore.

Yep, the sweetheart deal isn't so sweet and he only gets a downward departure recommendation if he provides substantial assistance.  The gubmint doesn't care whether he delivers or not.  

Popehat explains (click the thread for more).

I guess at this point the most annoying part of this stuff is we KNOW, we GOD DAMN WELL KNOW, that this motherfucker (or insert whatever republican shitbag you want for this example) has done some just absolutley heinous anti-democratic, anti-American shit that SHOULD land him in the slammer for the rest of his (their) life, but because of legal technicalities, and him being rich and white, he's going to skate.

I’m sorry but y’all are simply nuts thinking this isn’t going anywhere. I’ll just check back when the indictments come down. And if they don’t I’ll check back then too.

We should nominate Venmo for some kind of award for helping to expose dumbasses.

Mark Foley?

Denny Hastert went to jail for 13 months but that was for lying and bank fraud to hide his activities

Politicians, especially white ones, have a habit of getting off easy in our system.  Cf. people of color and other powerless and poor.

Like popehat, the federal crime isn't immediately apparent to me.  Greenberg seems to have done most of the trafficking or Mann Act type stuff.  Perhaps a conspiracy with Greenberg.  Maybe some state statutory rape or solicitation charges.

Not a politician per se but ex-Justice Samuel Kent got reamed out pretty good. Prison, stripped of lifetime gig, is now a recluse somewhere out in Pecos County or something like that. 

Fort Davis, which is a pretty damn good place to be a recluse.

Which one of y'all is responsible?

 

If it was a shagster the banner would say "Tick Tock. That means the clock is running out on you Matt Gaetz. Because you're gonna get arrested soon. That's what it means"

That sounds like a Mike Roach banner.

Check out pp. 30-32 of Greenberg’s plea agreement:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/14/politics/greenberg-plea-agreement/index.html

Wondering how many ‘others’ were in on or viewing the minor bang train.

At best (for asshole), it’s the minor and Greenberg’s word versus Gaetz.

At worst, it’s other sugar babies and other idiot buddies of Greenberg corroborating said minor hump-age. I mean, even if they were banging some 19 year old on the double bed next to Greenberg humping the minor, that is a crime too - no? State felony charge of lewd or lascivious exhibition - 5 years for having your dick out with a minor in the room. Or, they can charge the older sugar babies with sex in front of the minor as well. Plus convicted sex offender status.

Which is to say, they should have enough to make lots of peeps flip.

edit: I have no idea if all those assholes are subject to the often easy to prove conspiracy aspect of the crime. “Any act in furtherance” can be a bitch to duck. Feds usually have your ass.

Hookers or not, I still have a hard time believing Matt Gaetz has had consensual or unpaid sex with at least 15 women.
