Bold of the BBC to assume he thought further ahead than what he wanted.

Not many arsonists think past burning down the House. Except maybe burning down the next one…
I'm telling you, Molotov cocktails work. Anytime I had a problem and I threw a Molotov cocktail, boom! Right away, I had a different problem. - ~~Jason Mendoza~~ Matt Gaetz.
I'm convinced that he didn't expect Dems to vote or McCarthy. He wanted all the bravado moments and then to be able to double down on the McCarthy works with the Dems rhetoric so he could continue to boost his profile. I truly believe Jeffries called his bluff and now Gaetz and the GOP don't know what to do.
Now what: Republicans will turn on him and let loose all pedophile allegations they've been protecting him from. These people will eat each other. And I'm here for it.
Nobody was protecting him from prosecution, we just couldn't get the evidence and witnesses together.
His sleezebag buddy was supposed to roll on him after being convicted. He did not. The girl in question refused to testify and, on top of that, now has an OnlyFans site. Prosecutors thought that was bad look and that she'd get torn up on the stand if they tried to compel her testimony.
Pretty sure his buddy tried to snitch, but he was such a shit bag his testimony was unreliable?
Which didn't make sense. Because there's fucking venom receipts
Problem is, he was the only person willing to. If there are other witnesses, you can deal with having one who might be questionable, but if he's the only testimony you have, your case is gonna get torn to shreds.
Probably using the only fans site to launder the payoff money she got to stay quiet.
Yep, he didn't just break the 11th commandment, he pissed all over the inside of the tent afterword
Same thing that happens to the dog that manages to bite down on the tire of car they were chasing, hopefully.
Or should I have more respect for a sex trafficker?
What happens next is that the Ethics Committee recommends removing him from the HoR and when THAT is voted on...well...he's not going to fair any better than McCarthy did.
... a relatively junior congressman and reliable flame-thrower ...
hahahahahaha!!!
Best description of Gaetz ever!
"I think Matt would be a great dictator in a small island nation in the Pacific or something," said Louisiana Representative Garret Graves last week to Semafor. "That's probably the best next step for him."
Uh…great for who exactly?
It was all fun and games when he was attacking children and Democrats.
Now that he is attacking them, it's a problem.
He is a documented and charged pedo, that has the charges swept under the rug by the same people he is attacking now.
