Another day, another damning report about Matt Gaetz. And this time it includes an email receipt.
Over a dozen of the antigay lawmaker’s former classmates from William & Mary Law School spoke to Business Insider about his underage sex trafficking scandal and why, while they’re certainly disgusted by the whole thing, they’re not the least bit shocked or surprised.
“Am I surprised he’s partying with people or doing that kind of stuff?” one person said. “No.”
Gaetz graduated from the well-regarded law school in 2007. Insider spoke with 14 of his former classmates and acquaintances, “most of them spoke on condition of anonymity to protect personal and professional relationships,” with the publication adding, “One former law-school classmate regularly trolls Gaetz on Twitter by welcoming the congressman’s critics to the ‘Matt Haetz Society.'”
Matt Gaetz law school class wants him to resign and wants all his critics to join them in the Matt Haetz Society???that is brutal. #TimesUpMattHaetz

According to pretty much all of them, Gaetz spent the majority of his law school days partying and getting wasted.
“As a law student, Gaetz lived in a large multi-bedroom house near campus, more luxurious digs than the cramped apartments where some of his classmates lived,” the report reads. “He often hosted friends there to play cards or drink from a keg in the basement.”
One person shared an email he allegedly sent back in 2006 inviting them to a Super Bowl party that promised booze, gambling, and strippers.
“His invitation included specific requests: chips, one-dollar bills, and strippers,” Insider reports while quoting Gaetz as writing, “I may ask you to bring some incidentals (napkins, cups, chips, strippers, ext.).P.S – After entering all of your email addresses it is painfully obvious that I don’t know enough girls – so bring some.”
Another person said that Gaetz always had a reputation for being an attention seeking douchebag, but they noted, “He’s more over-the-top now.”
“He’s always been kind of a frat boy,” a source said, adding that he was not “particularly intelligent” but he also wasn’t the dumbest guy in the room.
Their feelings, however, seem to have changed today, with another classmate noting that whenever they see Gaetz’s name trending on Twitter, they brace themselves for the worst.
“Every time The Daily Beast breaks another story on a Friday, it’s like, ‘Oh boy, go check Twitter,'” the person stated, adding that there are now three group chat threads among alumni devoted to sharing updates about their former classmate.
Another person pointed to Gaetz allegedly having sex with a high schooler as an example of his sheer stupidity.
“He has a very high sense of self-preservation,” they said. “I’m surprised he wouldn’t check [her] references.”
More than 500 William & Mary Law School alumni, including 34 people from Gaetz’s graduating class, recently signed a petition calling on him to resign from Congress amid reports federal investigators are closing in on their investigation of him.
Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing and has yet to be charged with any crimes.

How much longer until he is charged?

Politician, Republican, election season coming up… Could be a looong time. It depends on how much he can (cough) trump up to pay out in bribes.

Sadly you live in America so nothing will actually happen to this rather nasty Trump follower , Daddies money will mean he will be free to just carry on without paying any penalty ( Like his leader Donnie )
I wonder what it would be like if you could experience living in an actual democracy you might wake up before its too late !

I’m more and more convinced that he’s the type of insufferable, spoiled rich brat who will never resign, even if indicted, unless someone buys him off with say a highly paid sinecure of some kind, but the Newsmaxes of this world aren’t that dumb.
Keep reporting on this shining example of the utter decadence and ineptitude of the leadership of the Repugnican party.

BURY THIS TURD!!!

BUT … this is exactly the kind of talk and behavior that makes him popular with his base. It’s the same scenario as when Trump made his comments about “pulling P***Y” …. his base heard that and thought “wow…he’s just like me”.

I don’t remember Don the Con saying he was “pulling p****” but he did say on tape that he “grabbed [women] by the p****,” which is outright sexual assault!
Gaetz’s alleged crimes involve sex with and swapping around an underage girl, so like Don the Con’s self-admitted crime, it’s pretty serious. Of course their hypocritical followers look the other way.

Wasn’t it Captain Klink who said “I SEE NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!”

Gaetz is a sleazebag — and an editor’s dream.
Mike Hunt
Whatever happened to his “son” Nestor?
Patrick
Simple, Gaetz is a bisexual creep. He just likes them all very young, both men & women.

No question that Gaetz is a a sleaze but to be honest, I don’t see much damning evidence in this college day email myself. I’m betting you can find almost identical ones in almost every frat boys past. If it were a current date email, that would be a totally different story.
