but even if Biden replaced him with the most aggressive and seasoned prosecutor on Earth today, how the absolute fucking fuck would you expect them to try this case in 28 days?
We’ve known about Gaetz’ child sex trafficking ring for about 18 months now.
Lol the people arguing about “evidence” and “investigations” are completely missing the real point, IMO.
If you or I were up on these charges, investigation, trial, and sentencing would be carried out in less than a month without hesitation or issue as far as the government is concerned.
The ONLY reason it’s taking longer than that is because of who it is.
Just dropping in here to say once again: it’s fucking absurd you’re getting downvoted while the fraudulent dipshit is getting upvotes. This is a large reason Democrats lose. People who pretend to be leftist are actively helping Republicans win the propaganda war.
Yup. Biden and Garland are still shit. If you think I’m excusing their overall conduct, you’re wrong, although I do at least agree with some of the points that a9 makes above which temper my criticism. What I’m calling out specifically is the OP’s asinine idea to federally prosecute Gaetz at the 11th hour. They’ve (correctly) pointed out in order to defeat a strawman they constructed that double jeopardy is distinct between state and federal prosecution. What they’ve failed to point out, however, is that federal double jeopardy is catastrophic for the case because the jurisdiction which would have the authority to prosecute otherwise is the state of Florida. At this point, the damage from Biden’s and Garland’s decision not to prosecute is done and dusted; their idea makes no sense and only makes things worse. It’s like accusing a surgeon of waiting too long to operate (a potentially fair criticsm) and telling them that therefore the best option is to open up the patient and leave them on the table to die.

Initial reports, and rock-solid evidence to bring to court to try an elected sitting congressman are two VERY different things. 18 months is rarely enough time to do discovery and complete a trial for a murder with multiple eye-witnesses.
Hell, the Parkland Shooting, where he admitted to doing it and pleaded guilty took over 3 YEARS to come to conclusion. Gaetz would have been fighting tooth and nail to ride it out to the next administration who would promptly try to drop the case.
The Parkland high school shooting was a mass shooting that occurred on February 14, 2018
On October 20, 2021, Cruz pleaded guilty to all charges and apologized for his crimes. The prosecution sought the death penalty, and a four-month death penalty trial was expected to commence in January 2022.

We literally saw the venmo transaction lol
I’ve seen people charged, tried, and prosecuted for soliciting sex in a weekend.

Are we just making shit up now?! FFS, the report is out and plenty fucking damning.
Not at all! Him and a friend were arranging minors traveling over state lines for sex.
That’s called child sex trafficking.
Point to the relevant paragraph in the exhaustive report that was released.

Full stop.
What you’re describing is literally impossible under federal law.

How odd! The courts operate on the weekends where you live? Go to jail around here on a Friday and you’re sitting until Monday, at least.
