Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) has been exonerated and the Department of Justice’s sex trafficking investigation has been shut down as the man who made the false allegations is now behind bars. Florida developer and convicted fraud, Stephen Alford, faced a judge on Tuesday after he was indicted for extortion.

According to a newly unsealed indictment, the 62-year-old spread lies about Gaetz as part of a complex scheme to defraud Gaetz’s father of $25 million.....

This indictment doesn't exonerate Gaetz, sorry. There is still evidence that he paid underage women for sex and that is still being investigated.

There is no evidence Gaetz committed any crime until it is produced. There has been no indictment of Gaetz to back up the charge that such evidence exists. He was being blackmailed as he said he was. So far, he get's the benefit of the doubt.

I understand his enemies, like Trump's, will continue to claim his guilt without themselves observing any evidence, because they know the damage a false and defamatory narrative can inflict upon a public figure they don't like, and they know they can do it from a relatively safe position.

It was publicly released on Venmo. That would be evidence. whether it can be connected as asserted is certainly an acceptable question, but evidence none-the-less.

If what you're relying on is sketchy in its authenticity, it's not really "evidence", it's an accusation without anything substantial to back it up. Kind of like the Kraken evidence you're so proud of denouncing as nothing but lies and falsehoods.

ANYTHING said by the one attempting to extort another is likely false. ANYTHING based on anything said by an extortionist is likely false. Repeating it, posting it on the interwebz or social media doesn't change it from likely false to "evidence" just because you like to hear it since it damages a political opponent.

He's certainly not exonerated because some nervous board Trumpette declares him so. I can wait and see what happens.

dudly, did you eve read the headlines? The guy who made those claims is now in jail on extortion charges.

Stating a need for exoneration of charges for which no evidence has been submitted is already a de facto assumption of guilt, that precludes the existence of a "wait and see" attitude on your part. Sounds like you're already busy putting thirteen turns on the rope.

I never said it was solid evidence, but certainly is more than "no evidence"

There is enough to investigate. And nothing in this indictment suggests that the money trail is part of that.

The fact that the board Trumpettes make declarations this early in the investigation reveals how nervous they are about this and how much stake they feel they have in bucking Gaetz up. Whatever the outcome, knowing that the board Trumpettes feel they have to do an exoneration dance at all is entertainment value for me.

We don't care if a man is lawfully charged, prosecuted, and jailed. No matter who he is. We do object to character assassination, rumors, and false charges, being the basis for a prosecution in the biased press.

This is the funniest bunch of bullshit I've seen on the board in a long time.

Bullshit on you objecting to character assassination, hypocrite.

you screamed Russia despite NO EVEIDENCE ever

 

[ll74]

you screamed Russia despite NO EVEIDENCE ever

You idiots continue to spout "no evidence" about the generalized Russia case against Trump. There is ample evidence that Russia interfered in the election. There is ample evidence that members of the Trump campaign provided Russian assets with campaign information. There is even circumstantial evidence that Trump and Ass. put themselves in situations that were ethically questionable. Hell, Trump even spoke with Russian officials completely off the record and gave them information that was meant not to be shared with anyone.

But sure...no evidence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[KeithD]

you screamed Russia despite NO EVEIDENCE ever

No "eveidence" you recognized, of course, since that doesn't suit your agenda. But there is nothing but overwhelming evidence in everything that Donald Trump has done or said that he was--and is--an asset of the Russian government. Who do you think you're fooling?

 

[AlterErgo]

what has Trump ever said or done that helped Russia and or Putin?

 

[AlterErgo]

when I posted that the Russia bounty story was a HOAX...which yesterday you asserted was TRUE

you said NOTHING

you are nuts

They tried impeaching him twice because of so called "Russian interference". No evidence, just ineffectual Dem hatchet work.
