Mr. Gaetz has claimed that the inquiry is in retaliation for him raping and trafficking underage girls
For anyone else who’d like to speculate why Mr. Gaetz seems to be being treated with kid’s gloves over these allegations, I’d like to remind people who his brother-in-law is.
TIL one of the Oculus founders is a right wing military industrial complex bro.
VR headsets are how you steer suicide drones to their target. Turns out to be the real killer app for VR in a way that games and entertainment were not.
I wonder if the drone pilots look like this while they’re doing their thing?
kid’s gloves
It’s “kid gloves.” It refers to gloves made of kid leather, the skin of a young goat. Not a child’s glove.

Thanks. Apparently I’ve been saying that phrase wrong my whole life…
I’m going to leave the comment as-is tho for the unintentional pun it created.
it’s a joke, Matt Gaetz rapes kids and sells kids to be raped
It’s always the goddamn fortunate sons.
So gloves made from kids?
And his dad was a Florida State Senator.
treated with kid’s gloves
I see what you did there.
“ranked number 22 on Forbes’ 2016 List of America’s Richest Entrepreneurs Under 40.[4]” from Wikipedia. Started with Oculus VR, and moved into defense technology, autonomous drones and sensors for military applications. Sounds lovely. /s
Ah, I did not know that. Fascinating. And quite telling.
Reports that the victims were offered extra credit in their Civics classes to come forward have not yet been substantiated.
Two tiered US justice system on full embarrassing display (yet again)
Greenberg is a foul SOB which is one reason the DOJ couldn’t put him on the stand, but the ethics committee has no such qualms.
Attaboy Beavis!
Good! I want to see Gaetz go down.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
He had previously cooperated with a Justice Department investigation into whether Mr. Gaetz had engaged in sex trafficking of a minor, a federal offense that carries a minimum of 10 years in prison.
Last year, the Justice Department quietly closed the inquiry into Mr. Gaetz after investigators concluded they could not make a strong enough case against him in court, people familiar with the matter said.
A spokeswoman for Mr. Gaetz, Jillian L. Wyant, said on Friday that the Justice Department had received the same material as that sent to the Ethics Committee and “deemed it unreliable and declined to press charges.” The news media, she added, “should not be laundering smears from people in prison.”
It is unclear how useful the documents will be to the committee, which began its investigation into Mr. Gaetz several months ago, after concluding one into George Santos, the former New York representative who had fabricated large portions of his background as he ran for Congress.
Mr. Gaetz has claimed that the inquiry is in retaliation against him for taking the lead in ousting Kevin McCarthy as House speaker.
Mr. Scheller said at the time that the Justice Department’s decision proved that the country had “two systems” — one that favors politicians like Mr. Gaetz and penalizes those who are less powerful, like Mr. Greenberg.
