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:
He paid underage girl to cross state lines and then had sex with her. So it counts as sex trafficing
GI Road Gaurd: "Hey, hold up for a second, Mac"
GI: "What's up?"
GI Road Guard: "Just gotta do a quick inspection."
GI: "Don't normally have to do inspections around these parts."
GI Road Guard: "Yeah! It's a new policy, but a job's a job, right?"
GI: "Yeah... Hey, can I ask you a question?"
GI Road Guard: "Sure, what's up?"
GI: shows picture of squirle "I'm forgetting, what do you call that little critter right there."

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!
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?
