Gaetz withdraws from AG consideration

You will not get traditional vetting with a Trump administration because they don’t care. We are way past normal process like who have you contributed money too or is there anything in your past that could embarrass the POTUS? What is publicly known about a candidate like Gaetz would be disqualifying in normal administration.

All I can say is: WOW
It was my contention all along that Gaetz wasn't going to get confirmation because he went after McCarthy and now I believe it even more. I always thought the charges of underage sex was bogus, although I think Gaetz, as a young-ish bachelor, certainly was a horn-dog.
Gaetz would have blown up the Senate and the media if he laid this story out in the hearings.
I think some deals were struck to keep this quiet (although it's out now).
What did I miss? The thread I read didn't disprove Gaetz had sex with the 17-year-old; it only said she had a fake ID that said she was 18. Nor did it disprove that Gaetz and the sex trafficker were longtime friends, photographed together at parties.
So he did have sex with the 17-year-old? At a coke and hooker party?
And nothing there explains the Venmo and Paypal payments in increments of $400 and $500 dollars to women. Those payments are pretty clearly payments for prostitutes.
As for trying to keep Gaetz version of this story quiet, this stuff has already been out there, no? Isn't this the story he's been using for a while now?
Some Twitter Twit told a different "story" and DANC bought it hook, line and sinker, because he's very easily duped.
My comments werren't about any prostitution charges - because there aren't any. The DoJ investigated and, evidently found none.
I guess what you missed was that there was plenty of evidence that Gaetz and his dad were being blackmailed. There is no 'evidence' of the age of the girl, other than the claim of someone in prison who was giving out information to try to cut a deal.
No, it's hasn't been 'out there' - it's rumors that have been leaked. If you can find anything about public charges from officials, feel free to post them.
The blackmail angle has been bandied about for some time, so nothing new there. Maybe the House Ethics Committee addressed it. Let's see what the report says.
I doubt we'll ever see the report.
Are you telling me you knew about the Iran angle? I sure didn't.
I can't read the Twitter thread. I've heard claims that the buddy tried to blackmail Gaetz. I don't know anything about an Iran angle.
It's too bad you can't read it, because it's insane. If it's true, there's a lot more going on with the Gaetz story than we know.
