Eddy Munster Matt Gaetz - GUILTY - What's next?

I knew the loser was guilty. What a true POS.

So I have questions?
I heard Garland won't prosecute? Why not? We need to make an example of the MAGATS!!!! What an opportunity to do just that!!
We need a prosecution....... Guilty!!!
Why hasn't someone stepped up to sue? This was someone's underage daughter, right?
Does this stop him from running for other public offices in the future. Like Senator?
Almost related ----- Why can't we get Gym Jordan information like this, on this level. He's another loser that needs to go.

So where do we go from here? What's next?

Nowhere? If so, it sure seems like law enforcement looks like a bunch of fools. Where is the accountability? This is unbelievable.

But certainly it's a law not to have sex with underage people. Otherwise, everyone would be doing it. And just because they're MAGATS, doesn't mean you get a pass. We need to prosecute these losers. Where is the damn accountability? WTF is going on in this country where this shit is the norm? Trump is trying hard as hell to make us a 3rd world country.

To be clear, having raised a lot of children, I DO NOT support relations with underage kids.

Having said that, the article I read mentioned relations with a 17-year-old. In what state did this occur? My understanding that the age of consent in some states is 16 or 17. Which means that this may have not actually been illegal (although it is an abomination and disgusting).

Let's make sure the charges are ones that can STICK. Trials don't occur in the media or the public, they occur in courts. Is he going to trial?

I thought legal age was 18 EVERYWHERE. That should be everywhere, just not by state. How naive I must feel now. I'm sure Gaetz checked that fact before he &^%$ that girl. Yeah right. Mr. Woody didn't have the time to ask her age.

I can't believe I'm even having this conversation. WTF!!!

I saw him play in a bar band, in Springfield, VT - during a time which he remembers as an "alcoholic blackout". He got over that - with a little help from "Grampa", aka Al Lewis.

Anyone can see that if it were to go thru a court of law, we know what the result would be. The question is why isn't any of this happening? He needs to pay for what he did. You would !!! I would !!! What if it were your daughter? Is there no right from wrong anymore?
