I'm not misremembering this, am I? He was like full-on outed as a pedo and then nothing happened?
Yes, he was involved in trafficking underage girls across state lines
Yea and he got off because his buddy flipped on him and they successfully used the argument "you can't believe anything that guy says he's a convicted pedophile."
I love calvinball
oh even better
That's gonna be legal now
~~that said burgerstan gets exactly the kind of representation it deserves... not what it needs (rather the opposite) but what it deserves, not justifying it but Trump's bringing all the true blue-blooded Real Americans™ into office, bald eagles and the founding fathers cry~~
Bill Clinton not only still walks the earth but was actively involved in Harris's campaign
He even did a late October "Palestinians deserve this" speech in Michigan
At least it appears the universe is trying to impose karmatic justice on the Clinton's and Kamala.
These assholes are failing upward faster than anybody I've ever seen.
what do you mean nothing happened?
pedos took over the government and made him Attorney General so they can all get away with being pedos.
thats what happened to him for being a pedo.
afaik nothing happened he got away with it all.
If memory serves there was never anything concrete enough to bring charges, but a lot of smoke
His buddy Greenberg pled guilty to underage sex crime trafficking and is currently in prison
They were going to bring charges but the primary witness was the victim, who is or was a sex worker. Since the defense would just say, "You can't trust a prostitute over a US representative.", they decided not to proceed.
Perhaps I missed some details, but I believe the argument was a bit different (but also probably included what you said). They wanted to use the other convicted pedophile, his buddy, but they feared a jury wouldn't trust a convicted pedophile. I think these were both effectively speculation though since the feds never formally acknowledged much of it. We saw the evidence and we knew they were pursuing charges... and then it went poof with little reason why
Where's Q when you need him?
