    Next time I’m in legal trouble I’ll just tell people that they can’t look at the evidence because I"m a private citizen

    It’s funny and a bit ironic how far Mr. Jesus (Johnson) has fallen since he took office. Going out of his way to protect pedophiles and rapists like Gaetz and Trump and doing nothing but looking after the interests of how much money his boss is going to be making.

    _Matthew 6:24

    No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money._

      What if you were in the desert 🏜️ and a pedophile had the only source of water 🌊💦 and was also a politician but he had retired years ago and just wanted to be alone so he could have fun with his adult friends in the desert?

    Who is applying for a different government job.

    As an alternative argument, that report almost certainly shows evidence of criminal wrongdoing, and it’d be weird to shield private citizens like that.

    Gaetz was a congressperson when it all took place. That report is government property, AKA it belongs to all Americans.

      Nothing can make him a shitstain, as he already is. All we can do is increase size and smell.

    They wouldn’t show restraint for a Democrat. These are empty words

    They literally showed pictures of hunter bidens Wang on Cspan and he was a private citizen. So spare me the theater.

      Yeah, pretty sure the report about Al Franken still got released despite him resigning months earlier.

      No see… he was a public representative, which means he’s only accountable to the house ethics pannel and not local law enforcement.

      It feels like watching those old Bonnie and Clyde and other famous historical criminals in the US that would say rob a bank, cops would be chasing them… and Oops they crossed state lines, I guess they get away this time.

      He would if the justice department weren’t a bunch of wimps and if the judges weren’t bought and paid for.
