    Not for these guys.

    Remember, there’s lots of images with Trump and Epstein over time. There’s reports of Trump walking into the dressing room during Miss Teen USA. And Trump is convicted of sexual assault.

    The press did bring up the Miss Teen USA thing but back in 2016. They’ve largely ignored both that piece and the Epstein & Trump connection. Though that kid from his base tried to shoot him because of the Epstein thing. Again, largely ignored by the press.

    Here’s my conspiracy theory. Gaetz didn’t play ball with someone over in DC so he’s been thrown to wolves by simply revealing the truth about him.

      Not convicted. He was found to have committed sexual assault as a finding of fact in a civil defamation case.

      The last time he was threatened with release, he resigned. The threat was to leave the government or the report is released. When he planned to become AG, the report release was on the table. Then he dropped his Attorney General position so they weren’t going to be released. Then he said he was going to take the vacated Senate seat so it was released.

        Still raises the question of why him? Being a smarmy asshole isn’t the reason, there’s lots of that going around in DC.

        Fiddly is where he needs to be. Trump is still in DC. Presumably because the snake pit hasn’t turned on him yet, unlike Gaetz.
