In Nov., ANOTHER Trump official was indicted in D.C. on child pornography charges,

[pnwmom]

in addition to the guy who was indicted in February. They are both reported to have been involved in a group with about 18 members. And both of them were in a group that also had connections to Arizona. Both of them liked a video with a "ginger" haired adult male.

How many other of these creeps are they going to indict? Who's next?

This is a link to the DU post I wrote about the horrific February indictment of a young man who'd been working since 2017 either for the Senate Republicans or for Trump. Below it is a Politico article about the November indictment.

An Instagram account bearing the name Adam Hageman and whose handle is the same as one mentioned in the complaint shows photos of the user on the South Lawn of the White House, standing in front of the Commerce Department seal and at the Trump International Hotel in Washington throwing a thumbs up with now-Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.).

A Facebook account bearing the name Adam Hageman and which links to the Instagram shows a number of pro-Trump posts in November 2020; the most recent post was on Nov. 10.

The LinkedIn profile bearing Hageman’s name shows that prior to joining the Commerce Department the user was a Phoenix-based events administrator for Turning Point USA, a group for young conservatives whose events have frequently drawn top Trump administration officials — including the former president himself.

The government’s pretrial detention memo notes that Hageman is also under investigation in Arizona, where investigators appear to have first become aware of the online chat group. The memo alleges that Hageman was “active in the group in both locations.”

And, for a bonus, guess who else was connected to Turning Point USA? None other than . . .

1. Well, their projection was wide-spread so expect more to come out. nt

[thucythucy]

2. Absolutely.

It's at the point now where I think the most vociferous Q-Anon spreaders should be looked at closely.

If I had some computer smarts and more investigative skills and resources I'd do it myself.

After all--and I'm being serious here--think of the children.

9. Don't you think for a minute

that the NEW FBI & DOJ aren't already all over them.............No more BARR to bury it........

[thucythucy]

13. I rather hope so

but I can see where people who are scrupulous about ethics and first amendment rights (not to mention leery of GOP backlash) might take it slow.

3. Did the Huckabeee darling, Josh Dugger made his way in the sacred circle as well?

What are the odds they weren't all visiting & sharing on the dark site.

4. On first glance it doesn't seem closely linked.

The case isn't being held in DC, like the other two. It's being held in Fayetteville.

Also, he has only been charged with receiving porn, not distributing (so far).

5. Yup. I don't know of we have the name/names of the dark sites to compare all parties.

But it would be a good starting point.

Betting those who investigated one, see them all.
The common factor besides criminal child offenses, is the upper level political network they move within.

6. The GOP is the "family values" Party.

Trump epitomizes all of those values.

Criminality, racism, pedophile tendencies, lying reflexively, and other values that the church goers in the GOP condemn in everyone else.

11. But, but, but, the normal RW Xtian fundamentalist

is a better angel of forgiveness per "the blood of Jesus in their sanctimonious veins" per the sacrament, and they wish to cast no stone(s) in this regard except on those that would demand moral character of their opponent(s), those of the other tribe...

7. Elliott Broidy, Trump fundraiser-

Was indicted in 2019 for child porn-- second time, in fact, he was arrested-- also on Trump-corruption.

Of course, all those Q-idiots who yell about "sex trafficking of children" never notice how many GOPers have this history.

[Hekate]

8. Every single damn thing they accuse Dems of is a projection of their own crimes. Somewhere...

...there is a pizza parlor owned by a GQP politician or a MAGAt, that really does have a basement.

[DENVERPOPS]

10. You

can bet on it............

[Midnight Writer]

12. Con men, predators, abusers, are all attracted to this pool of gullible fools.

Exploiters watching the antics of these conservative true believers must feel like sharks watching chum thrown into the water.

A businessman a while back explained why he advertised heavily on FOX News even though he disliked their content.

"Their viewers will buy anything".

14. Family values

“I've known Jeff (Epstein) for 15 years. Terrific guy,'' Trump told New York Magazine back in 2002. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it - Jeffrey enjoys his social life."
