This seems to be taking an awfully long time

Grand Jury in the Matt Gaetz case.


Gaetz has been under investigation to determine if he violated sex trafficking laws and obstructed justice.

[...]

One of the sources said she has information related to the investigation of both the sex trafficking and obstruction allegations.

"This may be a willing participant who has a smart lawyer who sought an immunity deal from the government," said former prosecutor and CBS News legal analyst Rikki Kleiman. "The government does not give immunity blindly, they know what they're getting in exchange."

[...]

A source told CBS News last week that as a part of an obstruction probe, investigators are looking into whether Gaetz had a phone call with the ex-girlfriend, and another woman, who was already a witness in the federal investigation.

Multiple sources told CBS News that the ex-girlfriend and the other woman traveled to the Bahamas with Gaetz in 2018, along with a third woman with whom Gaetz was in a sexual relationship. That third woman was 18 at the time of the Bahamas trip, but investigators are also looking into whether she was 17 when the sexual relationsInvestigators are trying to determine if any of the women were paid and were illegally trafficked across state or international lines for the purpose of sex with the congressman.

Honestly, I don't think this is anybody's business other than the obstruction of justice bit and the possibility Gaetz has been lying about it and whether he's involved with other underage girls. That is, I don't think his sexual activities should be cause for criminal charges if the woman was 18 (or about to be 18), but I do think the fact that he's dating 18-year-olds should disqualify him for serving in Congress. Too immature and too stupid.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
