Ball Bounces Out of Gaetz's Office
O'Dwyers ^ | April 2, 2021 | Steve Barnes

Posted on 04/03/2021 4:37:09 PM PDT by buckalfa

Luke Ball is exiting his position as communications director for Rep. Matt Gaetz as the Justice Department inquiry into Gaetz’s possible connections to sex trafficking continues.

Ball started out in Gaetz’s office as an intern in 2017, and in addition to serving as his press secretary, was deputy campaign manager in the representative’s 2018 re-election campaign and deputy digital director for Ron DeSantis for Governor, according to Ball’s LinkedIn profile.

He is also the founder of Rightlife Media, a video production and website design company.

The New York Post said that Ball had scrubbed any mentions of Gaetz, from his Twitter biography by midday Thursday.

“The Office of Congressman Matt Gaetz and Luke Ball have agreed that it would be best to part ways,” a statement from Gaetz’s office said. “We thank him for his time in our office, and we wish him the best moving forward.”

Does the pro Rino cabal abandoning the Gaetz ship indicate that the long knives are close to success?

Of course I have no idea what is happening. But I think one possibility is that someone approached Luke Ball and explained that, maybe Gaetz is willing to suffer the slings and arrows, but how would Luke like to be charged with child rape? Is Luke willing lawyer up and take his chances? Or would Luke like to walk away?

I think these people play rough. I don’t know if Gaetz is innocent or guilty, but I watched these people come for Trump. They play rough, and they make up lies.

So far no names, no pics, no video, no documents, no witnesses, no evidence.

I think you are right about playing rough. Just ask Seth Rich... er, ooh, yes... I forgot, you can’t. He’s dead.

It reminds me of Chris Christie leaving Trump when the Access Hollywood tape leaked.

This SO reeks of witch hunt.

How much actual evidence is there for these accusations as opposed to say, Hunter, or Joe, or BJC, or HRC?

All the genuine evidence against the folks mentioned above, but the press is hammering these so far baseless accusations as hard as they can.

Nope, no bias here, folks.

"It reminds me of Chris Christie leaving Trump when the Access Hollywood tape leaked."

The sad thing is the GOPe is still fighting Trump and his supporters instead of paying attention to the enemy at the gate.

If Gaetz gets the gate, will Governor DeSantis appoint Donald John Trump to fill the vacancy?

For House seats, special election.

Governor appoints to open Senate seats.

The left doesn't need no steenkin' evidence!

Just ask Donald J Trump, Ted Stevens, Eric Greitens,Jake Gardner, Kyle Rittenhouse, Archer Daniels employees.

Gaetz is completely innocent these BASTARDS spread the lies to no end THEN when it is found out that they were all lies the story of the innocence f the person is on the back pages or NOT reported at all!! Our side NEEDS to stand strong these people are utter SCUM!! I hope Matt fights this tooth and nail he IS NOT GUILTY of a damn thing BANK ON IT!! Anyone on this site that has a shred of doubt after Russia, Russia, Russia, and the whole Kavanaugh brew haw haw, the spying on the Trump campaign, the endless impeachments, if you have ONE doubt as to Matt’s innocence you need to remove yourself from the Conservative party because you are a complete IDIOT!!!
