Do they still think they can find a white guy in Trump's orbit who hasn't sexually assaulted someone?

The point isn't to find a non-rapist, the point is "just tell us ahead of time so we can sweep it under the rug, dumbass"
They aren't mad that he did it, they're mad that the propaganda machine couldn't get in front of it before it became news.
Likely as not, to be honest. The "outrage" is media spin from the team. They all know. They just can't let on they know. Just like Project 2025
So the guy who doesn't believe germs exist lied about sexual assault? Not shocked! I thought being a criminal was the minimum requirement to be in trumps government.
"... this is the fucking Pentagon! … Even if the allegations are fake, it doesn’t matter because he was supposed to tell us what we needed to know so we could be better prepared to defend him — not learn about it from the media.”
They want to make the government small enough to drown in a bathtub and they can't even find police reports about a potential hire.
If the allegations were fake, he wouldn't have anything to tell them.
They are fine with a sec offender, they just wanted to be prepared.
"We only only have so much room for sexual assault allegations, Pete!"
which he failed to disclose during the vetting process.>
Wait. There is a vetting process???
Yeah, if you dont have at least one rape inder your belt they have nothing they can hold against you. Which means for them to be mad they didnt know about this one, there has to be another they did know about.
Why do they give a fuck about this specific one and not the rest?
Only thing I can guess is it's because he lied when asked, maybe? Some twisted loyalty thing?
WE DONT HIDE SEX CRIMES IN THIS HOUSE
That's right, we brag about how likely we are to do them in interviews! Especially when you're rich, then they just let you.
Maybe Trump should stop picking people he met on epstien's plane.
How can they be furious when they knew damn well what was up with Gaetz. Ridiculous. They are trying to act like they were caught off guard. Give me a break.
Those FBI background checks looking pretty good right about now, eh?
Republican senators remain divided
the same senators that let the frat boy in?
the same party that let thomas in?
Didn’t the stable genius bypass the traditional vetting process recently? Lol
Trump is probably furious that Pete didn't let him in on some of that.
