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:
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
