In a stunning interview Sunday morning on CNN, Rep. Tony Gonzales, a Republican congressman from Texas, accused fellow Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of having sex with underaged girls.
"It's my absolute honor to be in Congress, but I serve with some real scumbags," he said. "Look, Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties."
This comes just a few weeks after former Speaker Kevin McCarthy said something similar at an event at Georgetown Univeristy.
"I'll give you the truth why I'm not speaker," McCarthy said. "It's because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old."
The Justice Department began its investigation into Gaetz in 2020 after his former friend Joel Greenberg told investigators that Gaetz paid a 17-year-old for sex and to travel across state lines with him.
Greenberg, who was also under investigation, pleaded guilty in 2021 to six federal charges, including sex trafficking of a minor.
The Justice Department ended up declining to bring charges against Gaetz due to credibility issues with witnesses.
But Gaetz was recently subpoenaed by the then-underage woman he was accused of having sex with.
His deposition in the case is currently scheduled for June.

Sure seems that way.
“ Aren’t these the allegations of which he was cleared?”
**************************************************
Indeed they are. But it’s doesn’t matter whether a charge is true. It’s the seriousness of the allegation, don’t cha know.
At this point what difference does it make?
He is not protected as he was on CNN and not debating on the floor. Gaetz has a good case.
Has a familiar ring to it.
Her parents might care. Gaetz won't survive this. He's finished.
The CIA told Gonzalez that if he didn’t make this stuff up about Gaetz, then they would do what they told Tucker Carlson says they do to their victims.
The phrasing is very calculated. Minor is under 18, bit only sometimes. Age of consent is something else, but only sometimes. Are “Raves” drug parties?
They are trying to muddy up the water and damage Gaetz.
We don’t believe you rat basetards any more.
This is what happens when you send people to a sleazy town to govern the whole country, far away from spouses, children, and the people they are supposed to be representing. A whole lot of them get sucked right into the sleaze. About 90 percent of what our Congresspeople do could be done staying in their home districts, where meetings, votes, hearings, and general business could all easily be conducted online. Washington’s legion of corrupt lobbyists, prostitutes and bartenders would just have to fly out to see them on their own dime.
Carlson told podcast host Joe Rogan that U.S. lawmakers “told” him that they are “worried” about being punished by intelligence agencies if they oppose reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
“People don’t say that because they’re worried about being punished. THEY’RE WORRIED ABOUT SOMEONE PUTTING KIDDIE PONR ON THEIR COMPUTER. Members of Congress are terrified of the intel agencies. I’m not guessing at that. They’ve told me that — including people on the intel committee, including people who run the intel committee,” Carlson said.
“Six Ways To Sunday!”
Kevin was just on Fox News running down Gaetz. You can bet your ass this is the plan.

Yet we know what happened at Epstein Island yet they protect the perpetrators
lol. Scumbag.
Zzzzzz more nonsense
Sounds familiar?
One would think there is no shortage of women and men, above the age of consent, who are “interested” in “dating” these people in power. Either for the status, or connections and ambition, or just for fun. I suppose they need to hire professional sex workers simply because they keep quiet. Like the old saying “you aren’t paying a prostitute for the sex. You are paying her because she will leave afterwards”. So you get some kink, and the husband/wife doesn’t have it put in their faces, no wining and dining out on the town etc.
But that said, from everything I hear, it sounds like the town is a cesspool. One would think from all the rumors over the years that half the folks working in DC are into something on the side (other than business deals and fundraising scams): affairs, flings, polyamory, sexual fluidity, etc. There might be more quid pro quos in their bedrooms than there are in the halls of congress.
“Some states age of consent is 16.”
Only Alabama has 16 when older person is in a position of trust or authority.
Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
(Are “Raves” drug parties?)
Yes. Electronic trance or industrial music is played at them and they take acid or ecstasy and dance the night away and have sex.
