Apparently Gaetz was the only member of either house to vote against a 2017 anti-human trafficking bill. Literally every representative and every senator voted yes except him, and Trump signed in into law the following month.
Everything he says is typical politician mumbo-jumbo like "And so, in our office, we have a rule. If there is legislation that creates a new government entity, a new agency, a new board, a new commission, a new council, we immediately scrutinize that. Unless there is an overwhelming, compelling reason that our existing agencies in the federal government can’t handle that problem, I vote ‘No.’ Voters in northwest Florida did not send me to Washington to go and create more federal government. If anything, we should be abolishing a lot of the agencies at the federal level — like the Department of Education, like the EPA, and sending that power back to our state governments."
Yeah but when you're the only one to vote against it, and now you're being implicated in that sort of behavior..............

Part of being pardoned is that you're admitting guilt so if true that Gaetz was seeking a pardon covering everything, then he's guilty of everything. 1+1=2

That's true, though I don't know that it would be valuable as prosecutorial evidence unless there's evidence of him telling the administration what he's done. He is a moron, so maybe he said "Hey, I've been trafficking kids, can you just slide me a pardon on January 19?" I guess I don't know whether a "blanket" pardon that basically says "everything" and names nothing is a thing, but if so, he may not have admitted to anything in particular. Then it's "why did you request a blanket pardon?" "Because I knew the Deep State would be fabricating stuff against me because I am the greatest Trump suck-up."

ORLANDO — An associate of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) who had been charged with sex trafficking of a minor and was suspected of connecting the congressmen to women with whom he could have sex is in plea negotiations to resolve the allegations against him, according to his lawyer and a prosecutor on the case, a potentially ominous sign for Gaetz if the associate ultimately cooperates with prosecutors in a bid for leniency.
Joel Greenberg, the former tax collector for Seminole County, Fla., had first been charged last summer in a bare-bones indictment that prosecutors repeatedly superseded to add charges of sex trafficking of a minor, stealing from the tax office and even trying to use fraud to get covid-19 relief money while out on bond. In the course of the investigation into his conduct, people familiar with the matter have said, federal authorities came across evidence that Gaetz might have committed a crime and launched a separate investigation into him.
At a status conference in the case Thursday, federal prosecutor Roger Handberg told a judge he expected the case to end in a plea, though negotiations are ongoing. Fritz Scheller, an attorney for Greenberg, asked the judge to set a deadline of May 15 for the two sides to either reach a deal, or move toward a trial in the summer.
It was not immediately clear how far the negotiations had gotten, or to what extent a plea agreement would require Greenberg to cooperate with investigators. If prosecutors were to get Greenberg on their side as a cooperator, it is possible he could help bolster the case against Gaetz, a higher-profile target. A person who pleads guilty in a criminal case can often lessen their potential penalty by providing information that might be helpful to investigators in other matters.
Gaetz, known for his fierce allegiance to former president Donald Trump, would boast to people in Florida politics that he met women through Greenberg, and he also showed them videos on his phone of naked or topless women on multiple occasions, including at parties with Greenberg, people familiar with the matter have said.
Greenberg had been a colorful political player in Seminole County, where he unseated a longtime incumbent in the race for tax collector, won a political battle to allow his deputies to carry guns on the job and flaunted his connections to prominent Republicans.

i believe that gaetz believes he was "traveling with chicks to party with".
i think he sought a pardon to cover up for stealing money from the campaign to fund these activities.
