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 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.
