Can't watch vid till later, but what's the connection between Kent/McGee and Joel Greenburg (or the Greenburg investigation)? While a missing spook is interesting, I don't get how Levinson ties into all this. Am I missing something?
Greenburg is the source of the FBI's investigation into Matt Gaetz.
We are not clear how Kent & McGee learned about Greenburg's claim.
McGee and Kent claim that Levinson is alive, and wanted Gaetz to give them $25 million dollars. It is likely just a fictitious claim that Levinson is alive, and they are using it as an rhetorical device to convince Gaetz to part with the money.
McGee and Kent also appear to have used a middle man. Stephen Alford was found guilty of the extortion (he got the minimum sentence of five years, so with time served he went directly to 3yrs probation). This guy was obviously a patsy: previous convictions of fraud and adept at spinning a yarn about using the money to get Levinson out of Iran. I'd bet he was recruited based on his criminal history and experience as a confidence man. The "missing" FBI audio is the possible link between McGee/Kent and Alford.
Edit: Oh my God Kent went in CNN and admitted to extortion while denying it.
That's a good catch, he probably is the middle man.
And yeah, this is one of the reasons that I love what Gaetz did when he just recorded them and went straight to Tucker. The conspirators just started running around like chickens with their heads cut off, implicating themselves more and more into what they did.
This is why they didn't want him as AG. He managed to screw their plans up so hard the whole damn thing got exposed and they confessed out of sheer "you can't handle the truth" rage.
Pretty much, its amazing that all of this is public information.
I'll add this pdf from this article from the Washington Examiner that shows McGees's law firm Beggs & Lane filed articles of incorporation for Alford's company in April of 2020.
