Matt Gaetz Wasn't Prosecuted By Garland

[gab13by13]

Just a heads up, the young girl involved with Gaetz, testified under oath to the House ethics committee this past April, that Gaetz had sex with her when she was 17.

Sex trafficking a minor carries a 10 year mandatory sentence.

1. Garland is playing 3D chess which we are too stupid to understand.

We have to be patient.

[SnoopDog]

7. Seriously?

Garland is a republican or at least acts like it.

He literally let trump off the hook. garland is NO friend to our democracy...

[FHRRK]

8. People don't always use the sarcasm tag

This one is obvious

[SnoopDog]

9. I prefer the say what you mean and mean what you say...

Garland is no friend to our democracy. If it was sarcasm, the poster should have included it.

[FHRRK]

11. Maybe because I am Irish

A DNA thing.

[Irish_Dem]

22. I know, Jebus GD Crist.

[Irish_Dem]

21. Garland is my highest deity and I bow before him.

I am sure with enough prayer, his wisdom will enlighten and engulf me with ecstasy.

Is this still too subtle?

[BOSSHOG]

28. Yeah but you didn't use the sarcasm thingy

I never use it. Either I succeed or fail. WITH SARCASM.

[Irish_Dem]

38. I agree 100%.

The sarcasm thingy can kiss my ___.

(I have covid, my frontal lobe is not working.)

[moniss]

43. I use it here and there

because I got so tired of being attacked.

[Orrex]

46. Hey, let me be the first to welcome you to the internet!

[NoRethugFriends]

51. No, the poster did not need the sarcasm thingy. It was totally obvious it wAs sarcasm.

[republianmushroom]

20. 45 months and counting of patient.

Sure looks like it will be 96 months and counting of patient or more. These kind of cases take a lot time to be brought out. I've been told.

No man is above the law. hahahah

[dchill]

25. Even Mr Spock is in awe!

[Montauk6]

30. More like Kinescope Bid Whist, if you ask me

[Irish_Dem]

40. Does that game take 100 years?

If so, yep exactly the same as Garland 3D chess.

[montanacowboy]

2. Is it Fitzmas yet?

oh wait, that was another republican administration

[Irish_Dem]

23. yep we fell for that one too.

[montanacowboy]

27. Glad someone else

remembers that fiasco; I used to wait every day for him to come out with something big and it was always a big nothingburger - we should be used to being played by now

[Hope22]

36. Exactly like Fitzmas!

Very painful….

[Irish_Dem]

44. Exactly.

I remember the picture at the end of all of it, the players coming out of the courtroom or meeting place.
The looks on all their faces told the story.

I knew we had been fed a load of garbage at that moment.
It took awhile for others to realize we had been taken for a ride.

[LudwigPastorius]

45. ...or Mueller Time

[crimycarny]

3. Can't the minor file charges?

I truly don’t understand how Matt Gaetz is immune from what is a crime. If nothing else couldn’t the local police in whatever state the minor lives in arrest him? How is this even possible that Gaetz gets away with sex trafficking???

I hope that the report gets leaked regardless.

[montanacowboy]

5. Little Mattie

has a BIG Daddy in Florida, seems he has been covering up Mattie's crimes for years and years, one crime after another

[Irish_Dem]

26. Gaetz has a rich influential daddy who is politically connected.

[Groundhawg]

4. if garland says there was no there there, i trust the biden appointee

[SnoopDog]

10. Is this also sarcasm? nt

[gab13by13]

18. That Biden appointee shit all over Joe when he released the Hur report

that lied about Joe. Joe was so pissed that his White House counsel sent a blistering letter to Garland for the release of the lies.

[Fiendish Thingy]

6. Gaetz *was* investigated by DOJ

And the two witnesses were deemed not credible, and conviction unlikely, so, per longstanding DOJ procedure, no indictments were sought from the grand jury.

Nothing nefarious or “lazy” involved, just sadly how things sometimes shake out.

The burden of proof for internal congressional ethics investigations is much, much lower than criminal charges, I don’t even think cross examination of witnesses is allowed.

But you knew that.

[gab13by13]

13. The girl involved

Testified under oath that Gaetz had sex with her.

One of the witnesses was Gaetz buddy in crime, when he copped a plea and when he testified against his good buddy all of a sudden he became an unreliable witness.

[stopdiggin]

17. and any mediocre defense hack would have torn

these two 'witnesses' to shreds on the stand.
But, as stated prior - you already knew that.

[uponit7771]

29. DOJ made the case with Marilyn Mosby spending her own money and her FA testifying he said her and her husband were in

... the clear.

DOJ pushed for her to have 3 years of probation off a correspondence letter violation and fine from the IRS, when it comes to a woman of color the DOJ goes hard as hell

https://foxbaltimore.com/news/local/mosby-denied-for-second-time-request-to-modify-home-detention

[gab13by13]

35. Garland went hard as hell to get Hunter Biden, he's white.

Garland prosecuted Hunter for a tax crime that is rarely prosecuted and Hunter paid what he owed, but tough as nails Garland made Weiss a special prosecutor so that he could take Hunter to court in California. Weiss asked Garland to make him a special prosecutor.

[gab13by13]

31. It seems there are more people than me questioning Garland

CREW has filed a suit against DOJ to release the evidence in the Gaetz investigation.

They would have had to tear 3 witnesses apart on the stand, you forgot the 17 year old girl. 3 witnesses against Gaetz. Maybe you didn't know the young girl testified under oath that Gaetz had sex with her when she was 17. Then again maybe she isn't a reliable witness either?

[orleans]

42. of course that girl is not reliable. she was only 17 and how reliable can a 17 yr old's memory be?

and if she didn't write about it in her journal then forget the whole thing

(obviously)

[stopdiggin]

49. it kind of looks like it shook out that way - doesn't it ?

[Galraedia]

16. If that was the case he wouldn't have asked for a preemptive pardon from Trump regarding the sex-trafficking

investigation.

[republianmushroom]

33. The southern fed. attorney wanted to have a good conviction percentage.

Red state Florida, daddy multi millionaire and trump supporter and little Gaetz a republican politician and the woman become "deemed not credible". A 17 teen girl not credible. Conviction percentage would go down if they lost the case.

Sure seems strange to me how many woman who claim sexual abuse or in a case against a so called reputable man of clot and good standing are so easily deemed as "not credible". Yet in this case it seems they may of been the creditable ones. and Gaetz was the not so credible one. But we will never know. White washed, very political and buried. Seems familiar.

One thing I have learn in life, is, if you don't try you will never succeed and it won't happen.

[stopdiggin]

12. Ah, yes! - the old Garland the feckless, lazy (possibly corrupt) theme

the gift that keeps on giving !

Can we play it again - please, Papa ?

[stopdiggin]

14. and then of course we have Mikey Johnson

our evangelical choirboy Speaker that has (conveniently) decided that the testimony and evidence gathered in congressional investigation is no longer of interest to the the public ...

But, of course - it's really about Garland!

[Timewas]

15. The DOJ

Spent the entire 4 years prosecuting Jan.6th and almost completely ignored the major shit. Foot dragging taken to the extreme.

[Skittles]

19. he was busy with Hunter Biden!

[Jack Valentino]

24. NOBODY was prosecuted by Garland...

he just ran the office

[gab13by13]

39. Hunter Biden was.

Weiss didn't have jurisdiction to prosecute Hunter in California unless Garland made him a special prosecutor and Garland obliged him.

Trump claimed a 461 million dollar tax deduction on his Chicago tower during Covid, formed a holding company and double dipped on the deduction. Tax experts estimate that Trump scammed at least 100 million dollars. No investigation of that but he prosecuted Hunter who paid back what he owed.

[onecaliberal]

37. Garland prosecuted Hunter Biden though.

[gab13by13]

41. The narrative that we can't criticize Garland because Joe nominated him doesn't hold water

after Garland released the Hur report. Joe was so furious that his White House counsel sent a blistering letter to Garland.

Garland had the nerve to release a report that called Joe old and forgetful. Nice friend, huh? Meanwhile Garland has not released the Mueller report yet.

[DET]

47. I Always Thought Garland Was Ineffectual...

…but an honorable man in the wrong position. It increasingly looks like I was wrong. I don’t fault Joe for appointing him, but I’m struggling to figure out why he kept him so long.

[SoFlaBro]

53. Joe isn't in the business of ruining a person unless they fucking really have it coming.

[LessAspin]

50. Enemies of the State

Merrick Garland by what you would have to surmise was an attempt to not appear to be 'political' let several GOP members of Congress off the hook.

So now we have a government run by racists, rapists, traitors... the absolute worst of the worst.

Kakistocracy indeed.

[MrWowWow]

52. garland is soon retiring to spend more time with his fat bank account

Money doesn't just talk. It SCREAMS!

[Blue_Tires]

54. Yeah, I'm sorry I ever defended Garland

I was trying so hard to give him the benefit of the doubt, telling myself that he was just doing all his real work behind the scenes 😔
