Both accusations could be true.

“Decide”

Why?

Do you believe you have the information to decide?

It’s not necessarily either/or.

Look love him or hate him.

but Pence has set the proper standard for a married man

You’re never ever alone with another woman after that point

No excuses ; no reasoning given

if a woman demands it ( private meeting with you ). you let her know that’s your policy ; and if she doesn’t like it , she can get ripped

So when we have sexual allegations then , this rule inherently had to have been violated

Now if we have some jerk like Cuomo who’s willing to try to find a woman in front of other people well that’s just a degenerate

But it’s very clear you’re open up for blackmail or “he said, she said “ if you violate the PENCE. ( and my ). policy

I know my wife totally appreciates this policy

She’s had many concerns over the years with female coworkers

I try to give her nothing to worry about at all

The extortion plot makes even less sense. The extortionists wanted money to keep the investigation ‘quiet?’ No one pays $25M to make an investigation ‘quiet.’ The only thing that could merit that kind of cash is the juice to make the investigation go away. It’s unclear how a civilian lawyer and a ‘developer’ could make either of those things happen.

Still, it looks pretty certain from Politico’s reporting that his dad did wear a wire, perhaps more than once. So, the FBI must have thought the extortion attempt was credible.

None of this explains why the FBI is still investigating Gaetz for a crime that could have been proven or disproven in a day or two particularly if they have a cooperating/complaining witness in the girl.

FWIW, Gaetz wasn’t married...I think he’s still unmarried but perhaps now engaged.

“Gaetz wasn’t married”

Just substitute “unrelated, underage age girl” for “another woman” in the Pence Rule.

Every man knows that rule innately. But only dumbasses violate it.

Well, sort of. Do we know the name of the young woman who Gaetz said was legal? No, we do not. This could all be over very quickly if she gave an on-the-record interview detailing her relationship with Gaetz. She was either 18 or she wasn’t 18.

Even a background interview, where her anonymity is protected but she details the events in question would go a long way towards ending this.

The lawyer’s denial really isn’t material to the question of the propriety of the FBI investigation. If that girl was clearly over the age of consent, any investigation into a US congressman by the FBI needs a thorough explanation by the FBI...unless we’ve simply returned to the days of the Hoover administration.

My GUESS is that there was a 17 year-old involved that traveled with him, a family friend or some such, but there was no intimate relationship. The problem is once the connection is made, it is impossible to prove there wasn’t a relationship.

I get the point you’re making. It’s solid advice. BUT, a single guy is still a single guy, right? He’s allowed to ask women out, travel with them, buy them gifts and go to restaurants and whatnot. That’s all fine presuming he doesn’t hold any authority over them; don’t bang the help, IOW.

The dating seems to have been completely consensual and she did not work for him, presumably. The only issue here is if the girl was or wasn’t legal.

I guess there’s a discussion to be had about the decision making of a thirtysomething US Representative dating a teenager. That’s probably not a great look, I guess.

'It’s unclear how a civilian lawyer and a ‘developer’ could make either of those things happen.'

Gaetz said they had connections to get a pardon for him from Biden...

On the question of THAT FBI investigation, the only relevant element is: Did Gaetz travel with an underage girl without a guardian present? If so, they should interview the girl.

If not, there should be no investigation by the FBI or any other LEO. The fact the FBI pointedly refused comment indicates there is an investigation whether warranted or not.

Because when asked about a supposed investigation, the FBI will always say “no” if it does not exist.

Does that sound believable? You think Joe Biden’s handlers are going to allow him to pardon Matt Gaetz, one of the most hated Republicans in the House for the crime of - checks notes - trafficking of a minor child, one of the same crimes Ghislaine Maxwell is awaiting trial on? Please. It’s not remotely possible.

It is certainly possible these alleged extortionists made this kind of representation to Gaetz and his dad, but Matt Gaetz isn’t stupid enough to believe it. And if that happened, it just makes me believe that whatever they did, it was an amateur hour money-grab.

“Mariner is at FR representing the other side.”

Substantiate that.

You’re emoting like a 12 yr old girl because yesterday I said the Gov of South Dakota was a drama queen not suitable for national office.
