      The Venmo records show that between July 2017 and late January 2019, Gaetz – who was first elected in 2016 – allegedly made 27 Venmo payments totaling $10,224.02 to the two witnesses, who were over the age of 18 at the time.

    He also wrote a check with a memo that said “tuition reimbursement.” Just pisspoor criminality. Even high school weed dealers know not to leave a paper trail and use cash. (Or maybe whatever anonymous cryptocurrency the dark web uses nowadays. I haven’t talked to a high school weed dealer since I was in high school many moons ago. You could tell me kids buy weed with Roblox Buxx and I’d believe you.)

    If Trump is going to appoint a pedo, can he at least find one someone who worked more than 2 years as a legal secretary associate attorney?

    This guy is a career politician, not an attorney.

      These were supposedly payments for innocent things like school and supplies. Gaetz just gets a lot if joy from people learning and living humble decent lives.

      He has too much money to be held accountable. People with that much money only get held accountable if their crime is against others with that much money.

      William Barr said there was no wrongdoing. And he’s a paragon of virtue. Absolutely no problematic connections to pedophiles whatsoever.
