Last year, an ex-girlfriend of Gaetz was granted immunity in exchange for her testimony in front of a federal grand jury hearing evidence in the investigation of the congressman, according to a source familiar with the matter. She was viewed as a potential key witness, with information related to the sex trafficking allegations, and a separate obstruction allegation.
"[T]hey have concluded their investigation into Congressman Gaetz and allegations related to sex trafficking and obstruction of justice and they have determined not to bring any charges against him," the attorneys told CBS News
Uhhh...did anyone happen to say why?
(from the CNN article) because of questions over whether central witnesses in the investigation would be perceived as credible before a jury
Oh well of course, better not risk it :agony-deep:
You gotta remember that immunity is only granted for damning evidence against someone else. They also only hand it out AFTER they verify that your claims are truthful.
Not really. When the Air Force Basic Training scandal came out, the investigators somehow managed to give immunity to the offender with the most victims.

Love how being a victim of a sex crime turns you into "that kind of person," so then your credibility is automatically under suspicion.

Well, you’re right. I forgot that immunity is also given to cops and soldiers for free. But for regular people it’s usually more strict
So it's not because the investigation didn't turn up any evidence. Nice, cool. What a neat country we live in.
