Mon Nov 18, 2024, 10:25 PM

Monday

but i recall being outraged at the time they did not prosecute and i thought someone on DU said that Gaetz friend (forget his name) was unreliable because he had a ton of legal issues of his own, but that the real problem was the victim refused to testify, and there was no case without her. Not that she was "unreliable". Though I don't know why she would testify to congress but not the court????
