    a common refrain in these pages is that it's unfair to hold politicians responsible for their actions if they're not provable to a legal certainty, which is just silly.

    And we've went down that road hand-in-hand enabling us both to battle on hard ground. Sometimes it works for (me/this time) & sometimes it works for (you.)

    Trump's first pick for AG

    She was 17 and a high school junior in Florida. She was working at McDonald’s. And she was living in and out of a homeless shelter.


    Hoping to save up to buy braces to fix her teeth, she falsely advertised herself in 2017 as 18 years old on a website that matches men looking for “companionship” with young women looking to make money.

    According to her lawyer, the girl’s path to meeting Mr. Gaetz began during her junior year in high school. In December 2016, she turned 17. Her parents were divorced. One of them was so poor that the parent was living in and out of a homeless shelter. When the girl and her siblings were staying with that parent, they lived with the parent in the shelter.

    To make extra money, the girl worked at McDonald’s. But she began looking for other ways to make money and turned to a website that “advertised itself as a ‘sugar dating’ website that primarily connected older men and younger women seeking ‘mutually beneficial relationships,’” according to the report by the House Ethics Committee.

    Through the website, in April of her junior year in high school, she met Joel Greenberg, a local Florida tax collector who was becoming a friend and ally of Mr. Gaetz’s, according to court do ents.

    Much of what followed has been do ented in other inquiries and legal proceedings, including the Ethics Committee investigation.

    Mr. Greenberg first invited the 17-year-old to a meeting on his boat, according to court do ents. At that meeting, they did not have sex, but Mr. Greenberg paid her $400, the do ents said. Around that time, Mr. Greenberg gave her ecstasy and told her to try it at home.

    Shortly thereafter, Mr. Greenberg contacted the girl again, and they ultimately met up at a hotel where they had sex, according to court do ents. For that, she was paid another $400, the court do ents said. In the months that followed, Mr. Greenberg, using his personal credit card and one for the local tax collecting office he was in charge of, would have sex with her seven times for money before she turned 18, the do ents said. Often during those encounters he would give her ecstasy, and he would often pay the girl and other women additional money for taking the drug during sex.

    On July 15, 2017, Mr. Greenberg asked the girl and others to attend a party at the home of Chris Dorworth, a former Republican member of the Florida state House of Representatives who at the time worked as a lobbyist for Ballard Partners, which is run by a major Trump fund-raiser.

    Court do ents described the party as involving “alcohol; cocaine; middle-aged men; and young attractive females.”

    Mr. Gaetz, then 35, attended the party along with a girlfriend.

    At the party, the girl who was 17 later testified, both cocaine and ecstasy were offered to her. She took the ecstasy and drank, according to court papers. She testified that she danced naked in front of Mr. Dorworth and swam naked in his pool.

    The ethics committee heard testimony that the girl twice had sex with Mr. Gaetz that evening, and a court do ent quotes her as having testified that she had sex with him once on a “pool table or … air hockey table.” She testified that Mr. Dorworth saw Mr. Gaetz have sex with her on the game table and “then laughed about it with other partygoers.” (Mr. Dorworth has claimed that he was not home at the time, an assertion undercut by phone records that became part of litigation in the case.)


    The girl later told congressional investigators that she saw Mr. Gaetz use cocaine that night.

    For having sex with him twice, the girl was paid $400, according to testimony she gave to the Ethics Committee.

    That fall, the girl moved to live with a family member in Texas, according to Ms. Wolf. She did not complete her senior year in high school. She continued to work for minimum wage in the food services industry. Ultimately, between the money she made from her interactions with men and in the food services industry she was able to save up enough money to get braces.

    Ethics Committee report drops

    The House Ethics Committee on Monday revealed it found “substantial evidence” that former Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz had sex with a 17-year-old girl in 2017 and that he “regularly” paid women for sex, all while he was in Congress.


    The panel, in a final reporton its yearslong investigation into Gaetz, also found that he used illegal drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy, on multiple occasions between 2017 and 2019.
