Lock the child rapist up.
Why is this even an argument? Republicans are disgusting sickos, letting this piece of shit roam around, actively protecting him.
I mean, he paid minors to cross state lines for sex…
That’s a federal thing and Biden’s AG could bring charges.
We have another month before Republicans are the only ones who can hold him accountable. But I’m not expecting much, even tho child trafficking should be an obvious charge and evidence already uncovered.
I just don’t think Biden’s admin has it in them to do anything about this. They’ll ignore it and then later complain when Republicans do the same thing.
Neither party is really interested in politicians ever being held accountable, if not, Biden would have done something about trump in the last four years.

Really going to both-sides this? Merrick Garland is a heel-dragging clown, but even if Biden replaced him with the most aggressive and seasoned prosecutor on Earth today, how the absolute fucking fuck would you expect them to try this case in 28 days?
That is a federal thing, and Biden could bring federal charges; good job, cookie for you. What would he be doing by bringing these? Oh, just casually getting him indicted and either not having enough time to start the trial or, if the trial does somehow start, creating jeopardy and thereby disallowing future prosecution when Trump inevitably drops the case. Good thinking. Too bad you’re not running the country with this 5D political calculus.
Edit: so actually, there’s technically no risk of double jeopardy, because what the OP is describing is completely impossible anyway:
“Unless the defendant consents in writing to the contrary, the trial shall not commence less than thirty days from the date on which the defendant first appears through counsel or expressly waives counsel and elects to proceed pro se.”
Thus you’ll never reach a jury being impaneled or a witness being sworn, because the trial will never happen. So bravo, I guess; that risk isn’t there. What you have instead is a DOA case that simply goes absolutely nowhere.
Merrick Garland is a heel-dragging clown,
And Biden appointed him after Trump tried to steal an election…
Do you think Biden is stupid and thought Merrick wouldnt be a “heel dragging clown”? Or do you think he knew and that’s why he was picked?
Is Biden incompetent or intentionally maintaining the status quo where the rich and politically connected are above the law?
Like…

Is this the first time you noticed Merrick was a waste of a pick? Do you think up until now he’s been doing a fine job?

We’ve known about Gaetz’ child sex trafficking ring for about 18 months now.
he paid minors to cross state lines for sex
The report specifically says he did not. One minor and he didn’t move her across state lines. However, 17 is statutory rape in Florida.
Because the FBI can only bring charges to the office of the attorney general. And the AG are divided into regions that do not map to the political maps of the states.
And the AG has more people to please than just the FBI. And the FBI, right now, is under pressure to submit to the incoming Trump presidency.
