Well the Gaetz report is out and this is what the Republican controlled committee concluded.
-Matt Gaetz had sex with an underage girl thereby committing statutory rape. He paid her $400.
-Gaetz paid tens of thousands of dollars to prostitutes for sex, sometimes directly, sometimes through pimps.
-Gaetz regularly possessed and used illegal drugs including ecstasy, cocaine and marijuana.
-Gaetz used a pseudonym on a computer in his Congressional office to arrange illegal drug deals.
-Gaetz helped a woman he had sex with get a passport to the United States falsely claiming she was a constituent.
-Gaetz lied about his drug use in order to obtain a standard Congressional security clearance.
-Gaetz did all these things from 2017-2019, while in office.
The evidence supporting these things is compelling. It includes dozens of eye witnesses who either had such sex with Gaetz or illegal drugs, or men like his buddy Joel Greerberg (currently in prison) who saw him do so. It includes payment records to the women on Paypal or Venmo accounts. It includes numerous text records between Gaetz and the women, between Gaetz and the women's handlers, between Gaetz and his coconspirators (like Joel Greenberg) and text messages between the women discussing their expectations for dealing with Gaetz and sharing in strategies for how to do so. This is not "he said/she said."
It included the sworn testimony of the young woman who was 17 at the time who testified Gaetz paid her $400 for having sex twice with him while she was under the influence of ecstasy and he was using cocaine. She testified she didn't tell him her age and he didn't ask.
This is the man Donald Trump chose to be the United States Attorney General, and Trump did so knowing this stuff was out there.
