zoonation Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 1 hour ago, Sand said: Can we throw Swalwell out of the Intelligence Committee too? He let the little head make decisions that allowed a Chinese spy to get close to him (pun intended) for quite a while. Logic says there's no way he should be on the Intel committee. They can leave hand in hand. One is a clear conflict of interest and the other is not. Not saying an argument against Swalwell can't be made, based on his judgment. Bu Gaetz being on the Judiciary Committee is a clear conflict of interest. He should be removed immediately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when @Godsbrother and @Thunderlips proclaim that GOP voters don't care about scandals, we can be certain that they are only doing that because - SIDES!!! You bring up a good point that Bill Clinton was a pig, I can't stand the guy. If you can find a link of me defending the guy against his scandals I would love to see it. My point though was not so much about us here at FBGs. In general I would say the GOP has been less concerned with scandals involving their politicians in recent years than the Democrats. For instance I think it would have been very difficult for someone with DJT's past regarding his treatment of women being the Democrat nominee. On the other side I don't think a senator with Al Fraken's baggage would have been forced to resign as a Republican. I could be wrong but that is my perception.

Well, it seems like some of these fellas were paying attention to a certain someone's quid pro quo scenario: Quote Substantiating criminal charges in the extortion probe could be difficult, people familiar with the matter said, noting that, when the two men — who have not been identified — first contacted Don Gaetz, they did not explicitly threaten to expose the congressman unless they were paid. Even if investigators do come to believe there was an attempt to extort the Gaetz family, it appears connected to the sex-crimes investigation only because the men involved discovered it and used it as leverage for personal purposes, people familiar with the matter said. I could easily pitch this to Netflix or Paramount: It's House of Cards meets Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zow Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 12 hours ago, Snorkelson said: Can I ask you some lawyer questions? 1. If he’s dating a 17 year old girl, is that illegal (assuming consensual relationship?) 2. If he took her to another state and paid her way, is that illegal? 3. Federal law, I believe, is taking someone under 18 across state lines for sex is illegal, would the state have to prove they had intercourse in another state? 4. If he was introduced to her by this Greenberg guy, and he has more than one instance of some sort of commercial sugar daddy behavior, does that change anything? Seems like a high bar to prove for some of this unless Greenberg flips. Sorry for the late response, was in trial today. 1. Assuming dating means in a sexual relationship, this is purely jurisdiction specific. Most states, I believe, are the age of 18 (usually with some caveats e.g. if the defendant is within two years or in same school). I think the lowest is 16 (maybe PA?). 2. This depends on what he paid her way for. If he paid her way so that she'd come along and have sex with him, then it could be unlawful. 3. I have not read the applicable federal statute recently. 4. I'm uncertain what you mean here and who "he" but if there was evidence showing that Gaetz knew that Greenberg had his own and set up sugar daddy relationship it could be probative circumstantial evidence as to Geatz's intent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
