If you think Pam Bondi is corrupt, think again. Can you imagine how bad things would have been if Matt Gaetz became America’s top lawman. An ultra-loyalist Trump fanatic from Florida, Gaetz epitomizes the Swamp. Donald Trump tapped him to be Attorney General, even though he knew there was an explosive House Ethics report about Gaetz. He did the same regarding Roy Moore running in the 2017 Senate race, unconditional support. He was accused of sexually inappropriate behavior with a 14 year old. Steve Bannon, whom we’ll return to in part 2 of the season 3 finale, had a huge bust up with Ivanka about Roy Moore, even reminding her that her own father had been accused of raping a 13 year old. 

Do you remember the drama about electing Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker? That was all Matt Gaetz, he tried to stop McCarthy from investigating him. It didn’t work and ultimately forced Gaetz to quit Congress in order to avoid the release of the ethics report into a wide range of crimes. It was only after Trump tapped him to be AG, that the House decided to publish their report, and it was shocking, to say the least. 

MAGA IN A NUTSHELL: – The congressional ethics report found that “there is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favours or privileges, and obstruction of Congress.”

From 2017 to 2020, Gaetz made payments totalling more than $90,000 (£72,000) to 12 different women “that the Committee determined were likely in connection with sexual activity and/or drug use”, the report found.

Additionally, the report contains testimony that Gaetz paid for sex with a 17-year-old at a party in 2017, giving her $400 “which she understood to be payment for sex”. Gaetz has denied having sex with a minor.

The committee’s 42-page report accuses Gaetz of being “uncooperative” throughout its review, and that he would frequently “deflect, deter, or mislead” the panel “in order to prevent his actions from being exposed”.

Despite a subpoena, he never appeared before the committee to testify. – 23 December 2024 James FitzGerald BBC.

PREDATORS THAT PRAY: So although not on the same level as Jeffrey Epstein, the similarities are striking. Florida, sex trafficking, prostitution, statutory rape, 17 year olds, Trump. The age of consent in Florida is 18. Virginia Giuffre was 16 when she started working for Trump. Florida law also requires a masseuse to be at least 18 years old. Giuffre only worked for Trump for about 3 weeks before Ghislaine Maxwell ‘stole’ her to work for Epstein. And she wasn’t the only girl stolen from Mar-a-Lago. 

What we are trying to establish is a pattern of predatory behavior associated with certain types of toxic men. Power, money, influence, corruption, disregard for women, young girls, and children. They believe they are entitled to taking whatever they want, when they want, and how they want. They exploit young girls by promising the world, and delivering nothing but abuse which leads to long term trauma. Money makes the world go round, and this saying perfectly encapsulates these types of men. Epstein dangled money to keep victims quiet. Trump did the same, even the church does it. 

If money doesn’t work, they start using threats of violence towards the victims and their families. That’s why some women come forward, but many don’t. They can’t afford powerful lawyers, and most are from bad backgrounds which puts them at a huge disadvantage in the public arena. Who are you going to believe, the drug addict whose life is in ruins from the abuse, or the upstanding church going family man/lawyer/doctor/priest/politician? Victim shaming, victim blaming, nothing is taboo when trying to destroy an accuser, nothing. Not even murder.
