"Investigators are examining whether Mr. Gaetz violated federal sex trafficking laws."
womp womp.
"the examination of Mr. Gaetz, 38, is part of a broader investigation into a political ally of his, Joel Greenberg, who was indicted last summer on an array of charges, including sex trafficking of a child and financially supporting people in exchange for sex."
But there's more:
"A website run by a member of the Proud Boys and a network of fake social media accounts linked to Roger Stone have promoted false accusations about Mr. Greenberg’s rivals similar to rumors that prosecutors accused Mr. Greenberg of secretly trying to spread."
Hey look Q people - we found actual sex traffickers. And shockingly they are allies of Trump and Roger Stone.
This is my surprised face.
And of course the DOJ under Bill Barr buried it. If Trump had won this would have been buried for good.

"Joseph Biggs, one of four Proud Boys organizers charged in one of the Justice Department’s biggest cases stemming from the Capitol siege, said the bureau regularly turned to him for advice on antifa." politico.com/news/2021/03/3…
Strange how many Proud Boys seem to have been cooperating with law enforcement in the past. Tarrio too.
...when "Biggs learned the FBI had obtained images of him inside the Capitol, he reached out to the same agent and made plans to turn himself in."
Dominion Voting Systems filed a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News, alleging the network purposefully aired false claims about the the company’s role in the 2020 election to boast ratings. GET THEM!!!
Their so-called hosts should also be sued for false information on this, and all the unnecessary sickness and death they caused with misinformation on the pandemic.
If you want to get rid of Fox News, this is how you do it! Make your calls today to cable providers. They make their money from those subscriptions as they lose advertisers! wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm/s…
I don't understand why our media is exclusively micro-focused on Cuomo, while not seeking out a single victim of Cawthorn and Jackson to speak out. WAPO spoke to 150 former Cuomo staffers - how many did you reach out to for the GOP Congressmen? Zero?
I mean if you live in NY, you know all about Cuomo and his temperament. But now you're delving into his temper, but not doing a single piece of reporting on GOP sexual assault? Yes we want to hear from victims. We want to hear from ALL victims, & ALL should he investigated!
I didn't vote for him because of his temperament-I voted for Nixon. But for crying out loud-we're in the middle of a pandemic-let the man do his job! Let victims be heard and let AG James run an investigation. The level of media bias in not covering Cawthorn & Jackson is insane!
Do the right thing on vaccines folks. Wait your turn. People in underserved communities, those in a position to be exposed at work, and those who have pre-existing conditions need to go first.
Of course folks who are older and meet their state criteria should also have priority too.
But so many privileged white people are gaming the system. Stop.
And of course when you are eligible, please get vaccinated as soon as you can.
Cuomo speaking out for the first time, saying he encourages women to come forward, and apologized for what he did, saying he felt "awful" and "embarrassed."
Cuomo adds "I never touched anyone inappropriately," and "I never knew at the time I was making anyone feel uncomfortable."
Now we'll wait for Republican members of Congress, Madison Cawthorn and Ronny Jackson to acknowledge and apologize.
This is so disappointing. I have so much to say beyond the confines of 280 characters or less. Start with Cuomo should use his remaining days to lead a conversation on power dynamics and appropriate workplace behavior. He knows better. 1/ nytimes.com/2021/02/27/nyr…
Cuomo has done good work on campus sexual assault - and taken much credit for it. But he knows it is an important issue.
What now also needs a national discussion is why repeatedly we are hearing about predatory behavior by men in power against young women and men.

It is also sickening when politicians and others appropriate stories of victims for their own political vengeance. So transparent on those who could care less about the well being of the victims, or bringing about change.
The narrative should not be the lesser of 2 evils!
