Gaetz is someone that the Biden DOJ investigated for said accusations, and where the Biden DOJ apparentlydecided there was insufficient evidence that a crime probably was committed and that Gaetz probably committed it.
There are lots of reason to dislike the Gaetz choice, but if federal prosecutors weren’t confident in probable cause, I don’t think that our knowing Gaetz was accused is, by itself, disqualifying.
The theme to the drum I keep beating today is simple: process matters. It seems strange to have to keep saying that, especially on a board with a bunch of lawyers.
