Matt Gaetz hires Jeffrey Epstein's attorney. Not exactly adding to his credibility there.

 And it worked out *so* well for Epstein.


From Taegan Goddard's Political Wire -

Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) congressional campaign paid $25,000 last month for “legal consulting” fees to Manhattan criminal defense attorney Marc Fernich, who lists among his “notable clients” the accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, Insider reports.


Whether it was murder, as some believe, or suicide, as others believe, Epstein still died in a jail.

From CBSNews -

In July 2019, Jeffrey Epstein, already a convicted sex offender, was arrested and charged with sex trafficking by federal prosecutors. On August 10, Epstein was found dead in his federal jail cell at Manhattan's Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC).

The New York City Medical Examiner's Office ruled Epstein's death a suicide by hanging, but a forensic pathologist who observed the four-hour autopsy on behalf of  Epstein's brother, Mark, tells 60 Minutes the evidence released so far points more to murder than suicide in his view. Dr. Michael Baden's key reason: the unusual fractures he saw in Epstein's neck.



And whether a prison cell or a jail cell, it seems to be a place where Gaetz seems to be destined to end up.

I fail to be persuaded. Either way, Matt Gaetz hasn't been arrested or indicted. Every day he isn't indicted is another ho-hum day. Either he committed a crime and should be arrested and indicted or he is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

"And whether a prison cell or a jail cell, it seems to be a place where Gaetz seems to be destined to end up."

Really? Destined? Really?!? There is no proof of any sort that any person can examine of his alleged guilt. I see no destined end here unless you want to believe he is guilty for reasons other than evidence. Could it be that in your worldview that Republicans are born guilty?
