Good scoop from @mattsheffield at @TYT about another Trumplander getting arrested for possessing child sex abuse materials.

Maybe instead of demonizing us for endorsing comprehensive sex ed, they can clean up their own back yards.

Former Trump Official Pleads Guilty to Child Porn Charge, Is Sentenced to Prison

A former Commerce Department official in the Trump administration was sentenced to a five-and-a-half year prison term after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography, federal prosecutors announced last week in a court filing. Under the terms of his plea deal, Adam Hageman was also sentenced to five years of parole after release and a mandatory requirement to register as a sex offender.

Hageman was arrested in November of 2020 after he was found to be a member of an online group chat dedicated to sharing images of child sexual abuse.

The site’s name on which the discussions allegedly took place has not been publicly disclosed, but according to an affidavit filed by prosecutors, Hageman shared with members at least one video of a child being molested, claimed to have sexually abused a child as young as 15, and indicated that he wanted to sexually assault children between the ages of 12 and 16 years old. Prosecutors asserted that they found “dozens” of child sexual abuse videos on Hageman’s phone after federal authorities executed a search warrant against him.

According to court documents, Hageman also requested that the members of the group find “a dad with a young kid he will rent out to us.”

Before working for the Commerce Department, Hageman lived in Arizona and worked at Turning Point USA, a Christian supremacist organization which markets far-right political views to high school students. He appears to have established a connection with the group while a student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.

1. Why's it so hard to find the pervert's name?

“Former Trump official…” who?

Spit it out.

(I found it — Adam Hageman (sp?) — the point is it should not require a hunt to find it.)

2. Guess the GQPers got it WAY wrong

Trump wasn't taking on the "Deep State Cabal of Pedophiles." He was employing them.

3. What a sleazy bastard.

He will have to bear his own "Scarlet Letter" as a sex offender for the rest of his life, so there is some justice.
His career choices after prison will be very limited. What a shame....
