"Ex" Aid To Maria Cantwell Arrested For Attempting To Have Sex With A Minor

And by "ex", they mean he was taking a long lunch break at the time.
A former aide to Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., was in federal custody after being arrested on a charge of attempting to sexually exploit a minor.

James Michael McHaney was fired Friday from his job as a scheduler for Cantwell, hours after he was arrested by FBI agents. The FBI said in court papers that McHaney is accused of trying to set up a meeting with a witness posing online as a teenage boy.

So he was not an "ex" aide and he was not a "former" aide when this happened. He was literally on his lunch break.
According to court papers, McHaney, known as Mike, tried to arrange a lunchtime meeting with an unidentified person posing as a 13-year-old boy.

There are so many things wrong with this story, I do not know where to start.

Let's start with an adult male wanting to have sex with a 13 year old boy. If there is such a thing as a just and merciful God, this creep will spend the rest of his life being raped and sexually abused by exceptionally large felons courtesy of the United States penal system... AFTER he is convicted.

So I have to ask, why was he fired? First off, since when is being arrested for attempting to have sex with an underage boy a firing offense for a Democratic Senate staffer? Seriously. More importantly, when did this guy get exempt from the presumption of innocents?

Sounds like I need to make my weekly phone call to my Senator, Maria Cantwell, a little earlier than originally planned and ask some really uncomfortable questions.

Morals integrity of Democrats can be seen by the people they hire. This is the type of person our Senator worked with daily and must have liked to keep job in the Office. It says a lot about where she stands because it the the people people she likes working for her. It is all about standards. Plus it does not help when the press help coverup the fact by calling him an ex employee. I guess the press will support this type of activity also because of the lengths they go to protect the senator by the choice of words. The question I have are there others in her office that do the same thing but have not bee caught yet? What would give the idea to a person working in the office to think it was OK to have a meeting during his lunch break unless this type of thing is acceptable in Washington DC.

That's not punishment for the little child-molesting faggot, that's a reward.

Nine-tenths of me wants to hang this guy until dead. The other tenth wants to see, just once, somebody do this as a hoax.

Go through the motions of setting up a meeting, and then - because there was never any sincere intent to follow through - blow off the meeting while laughing at those who showed up salivating at the thought of catching another perv.

If the perp doesn't show up, and never had intent, what do you you charge him with?
