And another story that isn't what it appears to be...
The lie: The Gaetz hired an underage prostitute.
Reality: Gaetz dated a young woman who had a REAL government issued ID showing she was of legal age.
Oldest story in the book is a young pretty woman attracted to a rich powerful slightly older man. She seduced him, and they enjoyed each other's company. Neither knowing they were set up by the one(s) who gave her that ID.
It was the first step in what was supposed to be the on-ramp to blackmail. You ever wonder how all those people in Congress got compromised? Did it start with kids on Epstein's island? No. It started with traps like waking up in a hotel room not knowing how you got there, or dating a young woman who you later find out lied about her age.
As a married Christian who doesn't believe in sex outside of marriage (yeah an old school dinosaur, I get it)... I don't personally agree with the moral choice Matt made to risk a relationship with someone he had only known for a short time... but by the rules society lives by he did nothing wrong by falling for the attention of a young beautiful woman, or by feeling a sense of obligation and wanting to give her gifts.
The man who got her that ID went to jail, and was working for the CIA. Untangle THAT for the real crime here.
