Over the past several weeks my family and I have been victims of an organized criminal extortion involving a former DOJ official seeking $25 million while threatening to smear my name.
We have been cooperating with federal authorities in this matter...— Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) March 30, 2021
...and my father has even been wearing a wire at the FBI’s direction to catch these criminals. The planted leak to the FBI tonight was intended to thwart that investigation.
No part of the allegations against me are true, and the people pushing these lies are targets...— Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) March 30, 2021
...of the ongoing extortion investigation.
I demand the DOJ immediately release the tapes, made at their direction, which implicate their former colleague in crimes against me based on false allegations.— Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) March 30, 2021

While my history is as clean as the driven snow, I do know that almost anything against a high profile Conservative can be the death knell of their career.
Shamed by every media out there, there can be only one outcome - If he/she apologizes - its over.
I’m backing Matt. He’s a keeper.
If he does, he's a dead man walking. They won't protect him. They want him gone.
DOJ, FBI, and a Republican, which one gets the shaft?
“Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Chuck U Schumer
I’m not saying I disbelieve Gaetz. But, my advice would be to get out in front of this story in something more substantive and convincing than a ‘tweet.’
Yes, man up Matt.
He was just on Tucker. The only exchange where I thought he was being evasive is when Carlson asked him (paraphrasing), ‘How long have you been aware of this investigation.’ - meaning the investigation into the alleged ‘sex trafficking.’
Rather than answer that directly, he says that he became aware of the alleged extortion attempt just a couple weeks ago (March 16th, I believe he said).
Tucker didn’t follow-up though I wish he had. Did Gaetz know that this investigation started a while ago? Did it start a while ago, perhaps as long ago as last summer or spring? He didn’t say.
At the end of the day, he’s either traveling (or more) with a minor child or he’s not. If he didn’t, I’m not sure what there is to investigate particularly for months. Even our FBI can pretty quickly find the correct age for a person...I think.
If this young woman wasn’t 17, the FBI needs to explain exactly why they’re investigating the travel habits and companions of a US Congressman.
I’m sure that those two stories coming out on the same day, and then massively amplified by the lefty Twitter mob and MSM is pure coincidence.
He wasn’t evasive. He flat out lied.
You sound like deep state scum
I used the word ‘evasive’ rather than ‘lie’ because he ignored Carlson’s question and instead talked about when he became aware of this extortion plot he’s alleging.
He never really gave any information about, or even acknowledged his awareness of this ‘sex traffic’ investigation. He didn’t deny it exists (the investigation) either. Instead, he only vehemently denied the substance of the allegation.
It was a peculiar few minutes, for sure.
And you sound like a moron.
Bless your heart 🙄
What a bizarre story in the Times and a bizarre response.
Gaetz named the ex-DOJ on Tucker Carlson’s show. Sadly, I don’t remember offhand what the name was. But now you know where to find it.
David Mcgee is his name why does that sound familiar
The Florida Republican told Carlson that the 17-year-old in question “doesn’t exist”, and that “providing for flights and hotel rooms for people that you’re dating who are of legal age is not a crime.” Gaetz repeatedly demanded the FBI and DOJ release “release the audio recordings” that will “prove his innocence.”
‘
Gaetz had been saying that Rosenstein and Sessions were a Smoking Gun in the Coup attempt on Trump.
Now, per the NYT, the agency he pointed to has been investigating him.
That’s some convenient shtt.

Ha! Made my day
Thanks!
