My first reaction was "oh this might be something to get the Trump loyalists and QAnoners to turn on Gaetz." Alas, I just checked on Free Republic, and the main response is just "CNN is fake news."
At this point, it looks like he will be a congressman behind bars until and unless he becomes ineligible to hold public office due to the part of Florida's Civil Death Penalty (you are rendered a partial non-adult citizen upon conviction of a felony) law that wasn't repealed. I forget if it would even apply to him as a Federal office holder.
The House would probably expel him before it gets to that point.
