I literally told you the testimony I was referring to. His ex-GF, several people present at a sex-and-drugs party with him, and a witness to a Greenberg-Gaetz phone call.
You're combining things that aren't necessarily combined. One person has alleged Gaetz was at a sex-and-drugs party, and that's Greenberg, a man who is convicted of sex trafficking, and accused of attempted blackmail. Everyone else has only been shown to say that Gaetz knows Greenberg and met that girl at a party. For all we know, if you take out Greenberg's claims, the party they met at was a 4th of July picnic. They report the Venmo payment listing a girls nickname, but we don't know what that nickname is, or who the girl is, or any of the events around it, and the detail that's that girl's nickname again comes from Greenberg.
If you wrack your brains, you can think of a reason for investigators to be interested in payments with a memo referring to a woman, that were then relayed to three women, via a sex trafficker.
You don't even need to wrack your brains to think of reasons why investigators might drop the case. It's perfectly reasonable to investigate Gaetz based on Greenberg's testimony alone. And then law enforcement did investigate, and determined their only evidence of him actually committing a crime was a sex criminal's testimony, and they dropped it.
Though, I didn't call him a "known pedophile"
You didn't, someone else did, and you jumped in to defend statements you don't even agree with, as is tradition.
Anyway, yes, when a Democrat has this many question marks hanging over their head, i wouldn't want them near the office either. You, on the other hand, were vociferously condemning Biden over the Ukraine thing on much shakier ground.
I was not condemning Joe Biden over the Ukraine thing. I condemned Hunter Biden for taking money from questionable sources for pretending he could influence US foreign policy through his father. I thought an investigation into Joe about it would be perfectly reasonable. But as far as Joe, I have always maintained that the most likely situation is that he just has a bunch of sucky family members, which I think people can sympathize with. I have never asserted more than a slight possibility that Joe was actively involved in overseas influence peddling.
And like, it's amazing in context that you would bring this up. The suggestion from Trump that Biden should be investigated is, to you, an impeachable offense. But now with Gaetz, it's "you can think of a reason why investigators might be interested". The hypocrisy here is so blatant. A Republican can be investigated by law enforcement and left without charges and you still think them guilty, but the suggestion of an investigation into a Democrat is a crime against the nation worthy of impeachment.
