How the fuck is still employed in government and not in prison?
He’s my Congressman, so I’ve been following along.
Not enough, or really any, evidence was the issue. They couldn’t summon any witnesses either. The guy he was tied up with, forgot his name, was expected to flip on Gaetz once convicted. He didn’t.
The young girl involved wasn’t willing to testify either. Prosecution didn’t really want her anyway since she has started an OnlyFans page and they felt that would hurt her credibility.
And that’s that. It sucks, but he’s free and clear unless something changes.
Shouldn’t publicly venmoing a pimp w/ the comment naming a 17 year olds sex worker and that sex worker receiving payment from said pimp minutes later be all the evidence they need?
If our system was fair, prosecutors would do everything in their power to highlight this strong evidence, even if they believe a jury might acquit on technicalities. Because even when politician criminals are aqcuitted, they still have to answer to the public. Pretending a technicality stops a DA from going forward is our criminals justice system being complicit when it’s the wealthy doing the crimes.
You say that’s what happened? Then that does indeed sound like solid evidence! Yet professional lawyers/prosecutors couldn’t find what you’ve found? Or at least not enough to bring him to trial?
Flip it over, pretend you believe the election was stolen from Trump. Yet in 60-some cases, only one was advanced, all for lack of evidence? Yet you have more evidence than a former President of the US can summon? See how silly that sounds?
Maybe a weak analogy?
Either you believe the reporting on the public venmos or you don’t. But don’t pretend like this is similar to Trumps fairly transparent lies about election fraud where he can’t even name the fraud.
Look, our media is broken and Trump is exploiting the need for coverage to spread his lies. It’s ignorant to think Republican voters aren’t in on it as well.
And if you believe the rich in this country get treated just as harshly as the poor, I doubt I can convince you otherwise.
Innocent until proven guilty works both ways (un)fortunately
