Being someone who pays attention and is not a leftist, I can say I was
previously aware of it but it had been a while since I last heard about it.

That is what hearings and trials are for.  Many crimes happen that are not
on video.  Accusations are not proof but someone facing a hearing for sex
with a minor should not even be nominated for a position until they've been
cleared of the charges.

I will say it again... it is just like nominating Epstien, were he still
alive, or P. Diddy, or any close partying associates of either of them.  If
Kamala had won and then named Diddy as her AG, I am pretty sure everyone
here would see how stupid that was, even though Diddy is only accused at
this point.

This sounds like a play to get Gaetz out of trouble.  His immediate
resignation from office stops any Congressional probe into his conduct,
because they can only investigate him while he is still holding
Congressional office.  If he should be confirmed as AG, it means he can sweep
it under the rug.

Having it swept under a rug  being cleared. Sounds a lot like a favor from
Trump.  Gaetz has been a loyal MAGA and now he is getting paid for it.
