Yesterday’s crazy keeps on keepin’ on…

A noteworthy paragraph for context:

The minor, who was a junior in high school at the time, arrived in her mother’s car for a July 15, 2017, party at the Florida home of Chris Dorworth, a lobbyist and friend of Gaetz’s, according to a court filing written by defense attorneys who interviewed witnesses as part of an ongoing civil lawsuit Dorworth brought in 2023.

And shortly following that, this:

One eyewitness cited in the court filings, a young woman referred to as K.M., provided a sworn affidavit that claimed the teenage girl was naked, partygoers were there to “engage in sexual activities,” and “alcohol, cocaine, ecstasy … and marijuana” were present. The teenage girl was identified in the filings only as A.B.

This is all horrible.

The article then goes into detail about recent developments with testimony. Many dots appear to be connected.

No, there are parents that would just do this, too. I know (well, have known) at least several.

I read it as the kid drove herself there in her mom’s car.

It’s looking more and more like his big fight with Kevin McCarthy was just about delaying this investigation. Shameful!

Everyone pay close attention to how quickly nothing is done about this. Then be sure to forget about it in a week or so when Trump says some new dumb shit.
