1. "Possibly Murder Conspiracy"

A text message in the linked article claims Gaetz is being investigated for sex with minors (plural) and "possibly murder conspiracy." Uh oh!

2. Wouldn't it delicious to see Scott Adams implicated in this?

I can picture that creep going after underage girls, but this looks much more sinister.

5. The interesting part are the text messages.

Unless you're arguing the text messages are fake.

10. I have no idea about the authenticity of the texts

I just do not trust anything from some of those people

6. And apparently this article was written by John Mayer with a mustache so you know it's accurate.

7. Is Scott Adams a big $ donor to these ultra-conservative schemes?

I have no idea...

but it doesn't make sense that he'd be getting these tweets if he's not one of them.

9. Yes, He's A Right Wing Nutjob From Here In Orange County, CA

I remember his cartoons from very early on, since he lives in the area, and the L.A. Times was one of first to publish his script.
