The hacked files include the deposition from a woman who was 17 when she reportedly had sex with Matt Gaetz.

    The president is a convicted felon. It doesn’t matter. Founding Fathers fucked up.

      To be clear: the the current “foundationalist” supreme court have failed us and failed the common law system by reverting interpretation of laws back to the 1700s

        To be fair to the founding fathers the Supreme Court isn’t reverting to 1700s interpretations. It’s an activist court that is cherry picking the most conservative laws from our history and throwing in batshit insane things that go beyond even the limits of the founding fathers.

        The founding fathers were pieces of shit in a number of ways but the fuckers we have now are worse.

      Umm… we are limited to “someone took the file”. If it’s leaked publicly we could call it activism. Or it could be Russia looking to have some blackmail to better control, in which case it won’t be leaked unless Gaetz does something they don’t want.

    Sounds like it’s gonna be some false flag shit. Who takes this and sits on it? They’re going to claim because of the hack that the chain of custody is no good and call it a day.

        I think you should take a second look because from here it would appear that you didn’t read the article you posted. There is no mention of money, payments, nor ransom. That’s not what this is. In fact, I haven’t seen a single report of this being a ransom situation at all.

          There’s no mention of false flags either. I offered a logical response to your hypothetical
