Exactly what Federal Crime do you think Gaetz committed?

I don't know. I suspect the House Ethics Committee knows, and has a nice report on it all ready to go.

What I do know, thanks to the NY Times, is that Gaetz has paid a lot of money to a lot of different people for something that he would like to keep out of public view.

And we also know that someone testified to the Ethics Committee of statutory rape. That's a state crime, rather than federal, of course. But it can become a federal crime if specific actions happened. Those specifics might be in the Ethics Committee report. Or they might not. Either way, it's worthy of investigation. And if federal investigators find crimes that are at the state level, they would typically refer that to the appropriate state for their action.

Heavens to Murgatroyd!

Statutory rape is nothing to joke about. It is a serious crime that commonly leaves the minor with long-term emotional scars.
