Witnesses watching Gaetz having sex with the 17 year old, plus the 17 year old testified under oath that Gaetz had sex with her when she was 17.
We are supposed to believe that the witnesses werent reliable. Give me a fucking break, Garland is complicit.
CREW is suing to get Garland to turn over the investigation file of Gaetz.

He's a fine choice pre 16 but a horrible one in the Age of Trump

Great job, Garland

(57,459 posts)The pressure on that judge to not move must be tremendous...possible thteats of bodily harm too.

(75,419 posts)And remember the maga cult members point fingers of rage at the judge's daughter.
What I suspect is that the sociopath's legal team will get the state convictions before the USSC. And the court has been corrupted.

(194 posts)And now we all have to suffer. Trump should have already been prosecuted and convicted over the January 6th Insurrection. It is squarely Garland's fault. He is a joke, and a bad joke at that.

(2,689 posts)Garland has been a beached whale since taking office. Oh wait, he threw a bunch of sewer trash in jail while the ring leaders regrouped.
Garland is so wrapped up in trying to look non-partisan that he fails to see that the partisan GOP hates his guts too.

(52,618 posts)there would be two big problems with the case, that may, or may not, have been insurmountable. One is that the victim was 17 which means that in many states his conduct would be legal (though not in FL). The second problem is that all the witnesses were people who had done illegal acts. I still think a case should have been brought but it was hardly a slam dunk, especially if the jury pool would have been largely his constituents.

They were under age of consent. If a Congressman was giving my 17 year old drugs, liquor, money, and sex....I would have done the citizens arrest myself.

Sex trafficking of a minor is a felony case.
speak easy
(10,484 posts)Yes it is.
But to establish it you need the testimony of Joel Greenberg, a not so reliable witness.
He pleaded guilty to six federal crimes, including identity theft, stalking, wire fraud and conspiracy to bribe a public official. Prosecutors said he paid at least one girl to have sex with him and other men.

(25,163 posts)of course I blame Garland, he is at the top of my list for TSF being able to run for office.
Also, who else in Trump's inner circle did Garland indict? Some states are trying to prosecute a few, but when the J6 select committee sent criminal referrals to Garland for Mark Meadows and Ken Chesbro, he shit canned them.

(25,163 posts)You certainly did deride my thread so now I ask you politely to tell me what I posted that is not factual?
The ball is in your court, explain to me why my thread should be deleted?
Garland allowed Hunter Biden to be investigated on a bogus Russian hoax perpetrated by Rudy Giuliani. Hunter Biden was prosecuted under Barr and garland for 5 years but druggie, sex trafficker Matt Gaetz was more believable than numerous witnesses, including the victim.

(13,743 posts)Uncle Leo defense.
I was referencing a deleted thread, so I was working from memory, which has its flaws.
I *believe* that it included the link to "servants of the mafia" substack. I have no way of vetting that substack post, so I posted the disclaimer on it.
I open links in a new tab, and there was the substack post, with the now-deleted OP in the adjoining tab.
And I concluded that the criticism in the substack OP was beyond DU rules. I COULD BE WRONG.
If the similarity is in calling out Garland, that's what I concluded. I never call posters out. My rules. I might send a DM instead, so no criticism of your OP was intended.
As with all my posts, corrections are welcome. And if I post something that confuses people, I delete it.
I really just wanted to post a link to the substack post in case it was obliterated. And the disclaimer says to "judge it yourself"
I thought that your OP might be deleted for the same reasons, and saved it. Quite the opposite of asking it to be deleted.
And if my post is misconstrued or confusing, I'll gladly delete it. On Hacker News, after a short time, one can't edit or delete a post.
Takket
(22,506 posts)but i recall being outraged at the time they did not prosecute and i thought someone on DU said that Gaetz friend (forget his name) was unreliable because he had a ton of legal issues of his own, but that the real problem was the victim refused to testify, and there was no case without her. Not that she was "unreliable". Though I don't know why she would testify to congress but not the court????

(25,163 posts)Matt Gaetz. Greenberg was his partner in sex capades, but his daddy wasn't a judge and when Greenberg pleaded guilty and turned state's evidence on Gaetz he immediately became an unreliable witness, how convenient. There were more witnesses than Greenberg who watched Gaetz rape the 17 year on a gaming table.
You bet it is rinse, lather, and repeat with Garland, it's sickening.
The 17 year old's lawyer was on Rachel tonight, I should get the segment and copy it here but I'm going to bed, good night.
