10. That's right. Garland should have just made shit up about Gaetz and charged him anyway.

Then he would have lost in court, so all the people complaining now would have complained then anyway because he wasn't convicted. Gaetz was and is a scumbag, that doesn't mean he did anything that the DOJ could have charged him with and gained a conviction in court. The level of madness here about this is insane.
