Gaetz came on Tucker Carlson and attempted to get in front of the allegations, and claimed that a specific DOJ employee had been attempting to extort him. And implied that the DOJ and FBI may have leaked the investigation to the NYT in order to bury the investigation.
Relatively quickly, team Blue reacted by trying to embarrass him in regards to the interview:
My guess is that the Cheneys got something to do with this.
Matt Gaetz recently stood up to Liz Cheney this year and advocated strongly to remove her from GOP leadership.
This seems like a classic character assassination coming from the corrupt Cheneys.
The way the McCains, Bushes, and Cheneys all reacted to Trump struck me the way Chuck McGill loathed Jimmy McGills success. Maybe the analogy stretches between Trump and Jimmy, but I feel like the parallels are similar
Hopefully the crime lord families also find themselves committing suicide by burning down their own house
Right, the US is definitely an oligarchy
The Steele Dossier came from John McCain on a never-happened "pee tape" so it wouldnt surprise me that Liz Cheney is involved with the same group of ultra-elitist RINOs.
Former USAF intelligence involved, wouldn't be surprised.

According to Beanie Man it sounds like he has documents to back up his claims that this is extortion. At this point I'm willing to bet that he's innocent and this is an attempt to take the Republicans who fight back and either pressure them to fall in line or remove them from office.
No one will be allowed to stand against the uniparty.
Regardless of what he's said or done, I presume people are innocent unless there's actually evidence of them being guilty.
So far, this seems like a hit job by the uniparty
Nowadays I assume any Republican that gets this level of heat is probably on our side. Everyone else is either a RINO or playing games to keep from being exposed.
pRETTY MUCH.
Yeah, I posted this before Beanie Man published that.
Looks like some fucking Deep State level shit considering how much the Washington Post and the Left Wing media are trying to cover this story up and downplay the significance of his allegations.
That's an absolutely instant attempt to refute something that they could otherwise have benefitted from
The so-called "allegations" are retarded.
It's being alleged that Gaetz was chatting with a 17 year old girl and offered to help pay for some stuff.
There's no mention of sexual misconduct or anything of the sort. So even if everything they say is true, which I don't believe at all, it's still a nice big "who gives a fuck?"
The "sex trafficking" shit is the normal hyperbole the media loves to do.
As a general rule, I assume all congress members not from Iowa are pedophiles.
... why not Iowa?
Beastiality.
Lolololol
Pretty sure this is a planned hit as this is getting coverage while Biden's, Hunter's ,and now even Cuomo's allegations are all swept under the rug
I like the fact that Hunter's such a fucking degenerate that they have to keep sweeping it back under the rug.
Felony gun crimes. Really?
Nobody's gonna mention the pictures of his drugs measured on a fucking scale on that laptop?
He's not very bright.
Let's not talk about the video of the footjob from his underage niece nor the corroborating text messages proving he was sexually active with said underage niece.
I still wonder how expensive the lady with the spider-web back tattoo is. I would think that, for a prostitute, to have a remarkable tattoo like that, she's probably relying on some sort of additional credibility. It's like a form of branding.
Was that the Chinese chick?
Probably provided free of charge.
I don't remember. Unfortunately, what I do remember is just how many dick pics Hunter took of himself.
WHY DO YOU NEED SO MANY???
YOU SEE IT EVERY DAY!
IT'S ATTACHED TO YOU
You know you're going in the right direction when you start facing enemies
Flak over the target.
The allegations of blackmail seem to have evidence that backs it up. Until we get evidence that backs up accusations of sex trafficking, they are full of shit.
That moment when you recognize that the spore molds are sentient enough to use weapons and destroy star ships
He paid underage girl to cross state lines and then had sex with her. So it counts as sex trafficing

Mr. Ling really didn't do the needful with his lessons.
Thanks for the tip!
Can you point me to the source of the "and then had sex with her" claim?
New York times
That's not a source.
This is basically the NYT sourcing the Three Stooges. They can print anything and it matters little whether any of it is true because it's all hearsay pinned on "three anonymous people."
Given the NYT's track record of lies on anonymous sourcing, why would anyone be inclined to believe them?
If I make the statement, "According to a person familiar with the matter at hand, the DOJ is investigating whether the NYT editors kidnapped and raped a black girl in '93." is it a claim to be believed? Why or why not?
It's worse than that. The way it's phrased, it could be one anonymous source briefing three people.
Oops forgot, let me see if I can find an obscure Twitter post with a timestamp that mention the date but says something like 17 year old at the gates. Then we can take the gates change it to Gaetz and bam proof!
Does that obscure Twitter post cite unnamed sources familiar with the thinking of anonymous individuals related to the functions of the investigation?
Otherwise I don't believe it.
Touché
tfw teh broon too big
Imma press X to doubt on that.
That was my first reaction as well when I heard this.
"If it turns out he is guilty, then throw the book at him......but forgive me for not trusting you. So I am going to put a pin in this accusation and come back to it later ANNNNDDD You were lying to me."
What's interesting is that the lie has gotten crazier since the day started. So far, I've heard them say he's being investigated for:
They're panicking and throwing shit at the wall.
LOOK HE'S JUST GUILTY NOW STOP ASKING ABOUT THE DOJ EMPLOYEES! NO FORMER GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL HAS TIES TO THEIR AGENCIES! NO ONE! HE HAS TO BE OFF ALL OF THE COMITEES! HE SUPPORTS TRUMP! SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP! IT'S ALL CONFUSION! DON'T BE CONFUSED AND JUST BELIEVE WHAT I'M SAYING! YOU SEE THIS TAX COLLECTOR? WELL HE'S LIKE GATEZ AND HE'S GUILTY SO GATEZ IS GUILTY!
Remember that Gaetz says this alleged 17 year old does not even exist.
It's a bold move, but honestly, it's a ballsy move that might be working. Gaetz basically went to fucking war on Tucker's show last night, and I don't think anyone was ready for it. If he's lying, then he's committing a very serious case of defamation. Not just "he'll lose his political career", it's a level of "he'll lose his fucking home and all of his wealth for the serious felonious allegations he's pointing at a fucking attorney at law". If he's not, oh boy is shit gonna have to hit the fan. Disbarment, fraud, corruption, manufactured evidence, allegations involving the Presidency.
Oh, if this is all fake and an attempt at extortion (seems likely unless we get some DAMN good counter-evidence), I guarantee they were hoping that he would roll over and beg for mercy, and the last thing they expected was for him to go Full Retard and go on the offensive against THEM. So now they are forced to throw increasingly extreme accusations at him hoping it makes him back off.
And if that was their plan, I have to ask: Did they think Trump and the Populist were joking when they said they were there to kick ass and ruin establishments, and they're all out of ass?
In their defense, nobody in their circles does this.
He was going to take the hit no matter what happened. That's why the idea that you would try to extort a conservative by saying you would go to the press with the extortion claim is absurd to us. Don Lemon would rape your dog on live TV if the thought it could hurt your poll numbers. Why on God's Green Earth would anyone believe that the Antifa supporting communists of twitter Trots and racist lynchers would not try to defame any Republican given an opportunity.
Jesus, look how they treat John McCain and Mitt Romney who are effectively on their side at this point. They exist only to be used to claim their positions have mass bi-partisan support, and then are run over with a truck.
Even if Gaetz paid 25 million dollars in gold bullion to the person who contacted him, the Washington Post would say that claiming Matt Gaetz didn't rape a 12 year old girl was a baseless conspiracy theory. There is no upside to this deal.
But Washington politicians are so fundamentally cowardly that they are not prepared to take any hits in order to gain victories. Someone else has to get hurt for them. Gaetz knew that asking for mercy from Leftist media would be both stupid and self-defeating. Also, 'granting a pardon' means still getting a conviction. So, he took the hit to the face, got in front of the story, and (for a moment) re-took the initiative.
He should not be waiting for the FBI to release their recordings though.
Part of the problem here is that I'd bet money that it was the FBI agents he was working with that leaked the story of the investigation. You think FBI and DOJ employees wouldn't work together to try and destroy a populist politician? Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if we found out that the former DOJ employee that asked for the $25 million was an FBI informant, and this was a ruse to get Gaetz dad (and maybe himself) put in prison by having Don Gaetz give money to an FBI informant at the behest of the FBI.
As if the FBI hasn't engaged in entrapment before.
BUT WE HAVE TO HOLD OUR SIDE ACCOUNTABLE OR WE WILL SACRIFICE THE MORAL HIGHGROUND!
God I hate every part of being right wing in this country
