Matt Gaetz Sex Scandal Guide. #TheResistance Has Fallen. Trump Coalition Cabinet. (with Mary Katherine Ham, Karol Markowicz and Gabe Fleisher)
Your Guide to the Matt Gaetz Scandal State of Play: Ethics report is unreleased as of now, a hacker has apparently obtained parts of the Department of Justice investigation that did not end in prosecution of Gaetz The iron law of political scandals, as written on the wall of a DC backroom (wash your hands after inspecting): if the public already knows about your dirty deeds and hasn’t totally written you off, keep chugging. But every new bit of information that comes out is an exponential risk. The Gaetz story has been publicly aired for years. So it is really only a liability if new information comes to light. So what is already known? That way we know if something new comes along. Well, it comes down to two main questions. * Are Sugar Babies w****s? * Is it illegal to sleep with a minor who misrepresents their age? Can the sex be proven beyond a reasonable doubt? Let’s start with question number one. Are Sugar Babies w****s? Which for the pure of heart will begin with a subquestion, what is a Sugar Baby? A sugar baby is typically a younger individual who enters into a relationship with an older, affluent partner—known as a sugar daddy or sugar mommy—in exchange for financial support, gifts, or other benefits. These relationships are often characterized by mutual agreements where the sugar baby provides companionship, and in some cases, intimacy, while receiving monetary assistance, luxury items, or experiences in return. These connections, like much of our modern world, is facilitated by the internet. For example… Seeking.com is an online dating platform that connects successful and attractive individuals seeking mutually beneficial relationships. And so it was on Seeking.com that Joel Greenberg, a then-friend of Gaetz who eventually pled guilty to sex trafficking and informed on the congressman, met women to form such relationships. Here is an ABC report of a back and forth between one of the women… "I have a friend flying in and we are trying to make plans for tonight. What are your plans for later," Greenberg wrote to the woman, whose identity ABC News is withholding for privacy purposes. "And how much of an allowance will you be requiring :)" Greenberg added. The woman responded by telling Greenberg she has "a friend who introduced me to the website that I could bring" and said she "usually" requires "$400 per meet." Greenberg then sent the woman a photo of Gaetz taking a selfie with students at Pea Ridge Elementary from a 2017 visit, and wrote, "My friend," indicating that Gaetz would be the friend joining him. "Oooh my friend thinks he's really cute!" the woman responded. Greenberg then replied that Gaetz was "down here only for the day," adding "we work hard and play hard," before asking, "Have you ever tried molly," referring to the drug MDMA, or Ecstasy. As Greenberg was discussing payment for the get-together, the woman asked if Gaetz used the same website Greenberg had used to meet her. Greenberg replied, in part, "He knows the deal :)," referring to the Florida congressman. The former tax collector then said he would book a "suite Downtown" for the gathering. Sugar Baby websites are built on the idea that wealthy people connect with attractive people. The implication of money or expensive gifts being exchanged is inherent to the concept. But… are the women legally w****s? Specifically, women who are charging money for the act of sex? This is a very important question. Flying a friend you eventually have sex with across state lines on your dime is a nice thing to do. Flying a w***e across state lines to pay for intercourse is sex trafficking. We do not have an answer for this. Although Greenberg plead guilty to sex trafficking so he seemingly admitted it. In general it is a moral and legal question that I am sure many rich men, including possibly some in congress, likely don’t want answered. However, it gets even more serious when one of those women is 17 years old. Which leads us to our s
