So let's just be clear, if you're trying to use Trump as a character witness, Matt Gaetz, in Professor Meiselis' classroom, no bueno. What else is Matt Gaetz posting right here? So he's posting deposition testimony. Let's look at the deposition testimony.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
Gaetz goes, another one of the ethics witnesses who was an alleged, quote, prostitute, claims she was indeed not when actually pressed in a deposition. This won't be in the ethics report because, of course, let's take a look at this one section of the deposition. Of course, Gaetz doesn't release the full deposition. But here's the question. Were you escorting, working? What were you doing?
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
Objection, form, answer. I wouldn't consider it any of those. There was a lot of times where I did not get paid for being there. In that time, I thought a lot of these people were my friends. Question, okay, all right. So you wouldn't characterize anything you did in 2017 as sex work? objection as to the form, you can answer, and then the answer was no.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
But do you notice what she says right there? She says, a lot of times I did not get paid, meaning there were other times that they were paid. I mean, the whole thing when you read the ethics report is that this Joel Greenberg would go to a website called Seeking Arrangements, where the very concept of the arrangements were that you would basically pay to have these encounters.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
So it wasn't spoken necessarily as a quid pro quo of this, but there would be payments made, not all the time payments made, but payments would be made with an expectation that in return there would be sex for the men who were making payments. That's what was going on and it details it.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
And she goes, a lot of times people weren't paying me, but that means a lot of times they also were in the other times. Matt Gaetz also posts the following right here. If gifts are now prostitution, he's reposting this, Natalie F. Danielson. If gifts are now prostitution, then everyone in Congress is now a hoe. Matt Gaetz also reports, more testimony you won't see in the ethics report.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
This is clearly not prostitution under any conceivable definition, which is why I was never charged with a crime. Question, you said before that you got $400 from Matt Gaetz for that answer. I did. All right, were you promised ahead of time or anything? No, we never discussed money. Okay, so Matt Gaetz paid someone money, and then there was sex in return.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
Welcome to Professor Mycelis' Classroom. I want to discuss with you the absolute meltdown that Matt Gaetz is having right now after the bipartisan ethics committee in the House of Representatives released the report finding substantial evidence that Matt Gaetz, in statutory rape of a junior in high school,
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
And what Matt Gaetz is arguing is because there was no express statement, I am paying you for sex, that therefore it wasn't prostitution. But that's not really what this is kind of all about. He's kind of... Having you look over there, while the issue is under Florida law, there's something called statutory rape, and other states have the same law.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
A junior in high school, and if you are a man over the age of 24, it doesn't require intent, it doesn't require anything like that. It is called statutory rape. The junior in high school, someone who's 17 years old. That was the finding that was made. In fact, the ethics report did not find that there was sex trafficking that took place.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
There were allegations of that, but they found that there wasn't sex trafficking. That's why he ultimately was in charge with federal sex trafficking. Um, he could have been charged. One of the things the ethics committee saying with Florida state law violations, but he's a powerful politicians in Florida and Florida is controlled by Republicans at the attorney general levels.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
They're not going to file those charges against Gates, but the issue was not out. It was not that he was found liable for sex trafficking with statutory rape, drug use, improper gifts, obstruction. and other misconduct. This is what Gates also says in his rage posting.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
He goes, giving funds to someone you are dating that they didn't ask for and that isn't, quote, charged, and he puts that in quotes, for sex is now prostitution. Whoa, that's your defense, Matt Gates? I don't know about that defense.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
He goes on to say, there is a reason they did this to me in a Christmas Eve report and not in a courtroom of any kind where I could present evidence and challenge witnesses. This is testimony from one of the alleged, quote, prostitutes that you won't see in the report. Let's read the deposition testimony. So it wasn't that the amounts charged did not depend on how attractive a guy was.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
Is that fair to say? The lawyer objects as to form answer. I never charged anyone anything. Like I said, it was just given. Question, okay, answer. And it wasn't spoken about. But do you hear what the individual is saying? I didn't charge them. I didn't have to say pay me this. It was a given that a payment would be made by the very nature of what the relationship is.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
Again, I want to be fair here. If you're wondering why didn't the feds prosecute Gates for trafficking, it's because the feds were concerned that deposition testimony like that would undercut their ability to get a conviction on that basis versus

The state charge of Florida state statutory rape of the 17-year-old, which Florida, because it's controlled by Republicans, DeSantis, Pam Bondi, who's now the head of the DOJ under Donald Trump, or will be, she was the attorney general during part of the relevant time period in Florida. They weren't going to bring this against Gates.

WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
Just so if you're confused and you're like, I wanted Gates to be brought to justice, so did I. I absolutely did. I want you to see the distinction here and how Gates is trying to use that and how Republicans are trying to use that when the conduct here by the Ethics Committee that they found Gates committed, though, is absolutely abhorrent and disgusting. what you see is never what you get.

The House Ethics Report found the following. From at least 2017 to 2020, Representative Gates regularly paid women for engaging in sexual activity with him. In 2017, Representative Gates engaged in sexual activity with a 17-year-old girl. She was a junior in high school at the time.

With a 2018 trip to the Bahamas in excess of permissible limits, in 2018 Gates arranged for his chief of staff to assist a woman with whom he engaged in sexual activity in obtaining a passport falsely indicating to the U.S. Department of State that she was a constituent. Gates knowingly and willfully sought to impede and obstruct the committee's investigation of his conduct.

WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
Gates has acted in a manner that reflects discreditably upon the House. And again, this is a committee of Republicans and Democrats. One of the things I think it's important to point out, though, when Gates is complaining, I didn't have a fair opportunity to be heard or do anything at this committee. Here's what the committee says. Gates was uncooperative throughout the committee's review.

WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
He provided minimal documentation in response to the committee's request and He also did not agree to a voluntary interview. On July 11, 2024, the committee issued a subpoena to Gates for his testimony, and he did not appear despite having received a notice of the date and time of the deposition.
The MeidasTouch Podcast
WHOA! Gaetz has CHRISTMAS MELTDOWN as Life is RUINED
Then the committee sent Gates a set of written questions to which he issued a public response and ignored the direct question. So he didn't respond, he didn't participate, and now he is attacking him. Let's just go through some of the evidence as well that was attached to this report.

You have here the messages between Joel Greenberg, who did plead guilty to sex trafficking, and a 20-year-old female friend. And just so you see, here's how the transactions actually went down.

Now, you can judge for yourself if that's the person you want to be a leader in public office in Matt Gaetz, but that's what the evidence showed. And Gaetz is not talking about that stuff.

So this was actually Republicans as well as a group of Democrats who released this. So it's people from Matt Gaetz's own party. So if they try to say, oh, it's the deep state, this or the deep state, these are Republicans, by the way.
