In the Reputation Economy, you can be fucked pretty hard long before the state gets its hands on you. Particularly true if you're a politician, as your whole job hinges on people's impression of you.
What bothers me about Greenwald's defense of Gaetz is that Gaetz is a stooge for the MIC and has been precisely because his fiance - Ginger Luckey, jesus christ what a name - has grabbed him by the dick and dragged him into it. On policy alone, Greenwald should theoretically hate this guy. Why is he bending over backwards to defend Gaetz under the banner of sex-trafficking of a fucking minor?
It's like going to bat for OJ Simpson by defending his reckless driving.
