Putin probably told Trump to pick somebody that’s lower profile and more destructive.
That report must have been something
Finally some decent news.
Unsurprising. I still believe Trump throwing his name out there was a way for him to resign and kill the report.
Oh interesting thought, I hadn’t thought of that. I’m not sure why Trump cares enough about Gaetz at this point to do something so…elaborate, but I was wondering if he really needed to resign so far ahead of any confirmation or even the inauguration.
Could be a lot of reasons but it would boil down to backroom deals. Maybe mutual assured destruction, maybe manipulated by someone (everyone talks about how easy he is to manipulate), or maybe a foreign leader has his fingers in the pie and told him to. Hell, maybe they’ve got underage women in common and Trump didn’t want it coming out. The guy is one of Florida’s reps and we all know where Trump lives.
My assumption is that he wouldn’t have had to resign until there was an official confirmation process, and certainly not before Trump is sworn in. Anything could happen between now and then.
Except he resigned from this last term, so, correct me if im wrong, but, I’m pretty sure he’s back in, in January, for the next term he was just re elected for.
His resignation included a statement about not returning for the next term.
Well, then, I suppose op is probably right.
I wouldn’t go that far. The OP is known for wildly speculating while drunk.
I mean that’s literally the only thing that came of the whole situation. It’s reasonable to believe that the goal was achieved.
That’s basically what the mainstream media is doing anyway.
I’ve been wondering about that too. Maybe? There’s another Republican saying he’s ready to step in but I’m not sure how Florida works. I think the gators decide.
They do. Although, we call them swamp cats.
He needs to withdraw from life. Just off yourself dude. You have no potential benefit to humanity left, stop using our resources. You are a bloght on this planet.
(Copy paste to every other Republican tbh)
Why? The ONLY thing People are saying is he Raped and Trafficked CHILDREN! If he DIDNT then why is he Worried about the Report being Public?

Statutory rape? she was 17 and he was… 30? Besides, between the two I’m going to assume the law school graduated, 30-year old knew he was plying a much younger, more naive minor for the sake of sex, even if he did pay for it. He knew what he was doing.

He transported a girl from Florida, where age of consent is 18, to Georgia, where age of consent is 16, in order to have sex with her. This is a form of interstate child sex trafficking and is a federal crime. Not going to cite the specific statute because I suspect you aren’t asking in good faith.

Thank you for proving my point. Have the day you deserve.
Not sure if you’re joking or not, but rape in this context means statutory rape

Which state lines did he cross? Some states bordering Georgia have an age of consent of 18. Being exact about definitions is good, if you’ve got any sources that would be appreciated. AFAIK details haven’t been leaked yet, though I haven’t been paying super close attention.

I just want MTG to burn it all down. Come on Marge, let that sunlight in!
I’m betting the House GOP leveraged that report staying secret as a way to get him to withdraw.
Genius right here!
Alright now let’s see that report
Gaetz for US Senate?
His dream job is daycare manager
He’s just turned down a job with the Trump white house though…
