So, the New York Times broke the story that Gaetz is being investigated for child sex trafficking in order to distract from the ACTUAL investigation, that the FBI is investigating somebody who's trying to extort him? Matt, how did that need a distraction when nobody knew about it?
And, Matt, your father was even wearing a wire in order to nab the extortionist? Why would you say as much if your goal is to catch the extortionist? Here's what I think: that you said so because you want to act like you're a willing in-the-know participant in the investigation.
Aside from those observations I now have a serious question:
Matt, do you think we're all as stupid as the people who voted for you?

(4,755 posts)You cannot be "extorted" if there is no truth the the allegations.
He is and will always be a dumbass asshole.

I do hope the DOJ forcefully comes out and denies every single lie.

(21,822 posts)Was it okay for the Gaetz's father to tell Matt that he was wired? Something sounds off here.

(14,784 posts)Cons always always always claim to be the victim of something -- to distract/deflect from their own misdeeds.
Illogic and incoherence doesn't matter as long as they can play the victim.

(12,410 posts)Child molestation charges are some of the most heinous charges. We often see false charges that ruin people. And we DO see threats of extortion with the "if you dont do X, I'll say Y". I want the TRUTH regardless who it is.
My questions are; is he dating a "younger woman" right now? How old is she? WHEN did they start dating? How old was she at THAT time?
Seems as though this should be easy to figure out. I look forward to the answers. This investigation started under Barr & I guess is still ongoing. Someone from the DOJ could clear it up as well

(4,384 posts)Thailand has some pretty strict covid rules, so much do that they have 97 deaths (1/1000 the deaths per capita of Florida). He would need a long term tourist visa at this point, jump extensive covid gauntlets that make him have sads, quarantine, and then sit in a Thai prison awaiting extradition. The end would be the same, so might as well just start getting to know his inevitable bunkmate Denny Hastert.
