I hear that Rebekah Jones got the judicial nod to appear in the Democratic primary to run against ol' Matt. Because a campaign involving Gaetz couldn't possibly become more of a circus, could it?

As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

Just checking in, good for her! I wonder how much she ended up raising off this slimy weasel. I know it was north of $2M, but I'm not sure where it ended up.

Getting this topic a little off track, but since Gaetz is the one that put Julianna on the national map, he deserves to have to share his thread.

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) told a former White House aide that he was seeking a preemptive pardon from President Donald Trump regarding an investigation in which he is a target, according to testimony given to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Johnny McEntee, according to people familiar with his testimony, told investigators that Gaetz told him during a brief meeting “that they are launching an investigation into him or that there’s an investigation into him,” without specifying who was investigating Gaetz.

McEntee added that Gaetz told him “he did not do anything wrong but they are trying to make his life hell, and you know, if the president could give him a pardon, that would be great.” Gaetz told McEntee that he had asked White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows for a pardon.

Link is gifted, the pardon wasn't. :rotflmao:

I am just curious though. Gaetz clearly is in desperate need of a pardon, and in January of 2021 he had to be sweating bullets because the child tracking thing hadn't gone public yet but HE KNEW all about it. He also knew that once the story broke not even Trump was gonna pardon him so it was "I NEED THIS RIGHT NIOW DAMMIT" time.

But even when he didn't get it, he still supports Trump like he is Mango Mussolini's personal jock strap.

Why? I'd be throwing the guy under the bus trying to get a deal from the DOJ.

Matty is way past that. No, to get Gaetz these days, it has to involve livestock, and probably livestock that will testify that it was non consensual.

This hasn't been a good day for Twitch. A new report has suggested that nearly 2,000 users have been systemically following underage users across the platform. A significant number of those users have exhibited strange patterns that suggest they may be cataloging children's livestreams.

"Bloomberg verified that the 1,976 accounts had numerous children in their following lists," reads the Bloomberg report. "Bloomberg also reviewed live video recordings and other documentation and analysis by the researcher. In the course of reporting, Bloomberg discovered additional live videos and predatory accounts not cataloged by the researcher, suggesting the problem could be even more widespread than the data portrays."

Career prosecutors have recommended against charging Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) in a long-running sex-trafficking investigation — telling Justice Department superiors that a conviction is unlikely in part because of credibility questions with the two central witnesses, according to people familiar with the matter.

Senior department officials have not made a final decision on whether to charge Gaetz, but it is rare for such advice to be rejected, these people told The Washington Post, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the deliberations. They added that it is always possible additional evidence emerges that could alter prosecutors’ understanding of the case.

Nevertheless, it is unlikely that federal authorities will charge Gaetz with a crime in an investigation that started in late 2020 and focused on his alleged involvement with a 17-year-old girl several years earlier. Gaetz, 40, has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, saying he has never paid for sex. He has also said the only time he had sex with a 17-year-old was when he was also 17.

Well, ain't that a hole in the boat. But if the trial would have been in Florida, specifically the southern Alabama area, he would have been acquitted and that would have been even more maddening.

To flip Greenberg and decide later that he’s unusable is atrocious prosecutorial practice.

Prosecutors flip bad guys all the time; I've flipped killers. But you don't give a cooperation deal until you have fully vetted them and are sure they are strongly corroborated. To do otherwise is to cut Greenberg a huge break, without making other big cases from his testimony.

And you don't flip an unspeakably horrible person like Greenberg -- admitted child sex offender, perjurer, and fraudster -- to go after the riffraff.

... credibility questions with the two central witnesses ...
That's a code phrase for extremely bad witnesses, which could be based on any number of different problems. A witness who has given several different stories of the same incident. A witness who is addicted to drugs (I had a witness that I didn't realize was drunk until after I called him to the stand - at 10:30 a.m.). A witness who - as an adult, after dealing with Gaetz - was convicted of a crime of dishonesty, such as fraud, embezzlement, counterfeiting, stuff like that.

Or maybe a witness who is a pathological liar, and a bad one. In a perfect world, you have the luxury to practice with your witnesses, both direct and cross-examination, which helps the witness do a good job and shows you your weaknesses. But if you practice and practice, and you think your witness is so utterly, obviously, flamingly full of shit that you don't dare put him/her in front of a jury, then you have Orly Taitz no choice but to dismiss your case before trial, because you can see the future, and it is a very bleak future.

Whatever it is, we'll probably never know. :(

Seeing lots of speculation from reliable sources on the Twitter machine that the WaPo story may be inaccurate.

fwiw. ymmv.

ETA: The author of the WaPo article retweeted a tweet questioning it. The thick plottens.
