The feds pile on charges to coerce people into confessions to get them to say what the feds want them to say. The piled on charges drive plea deals and a 98 percent conviction rate for federal prosecutors.

“Actually, according to the article, she was communications director for the American Medical Marijuana Physicians Association.”

Matt got her that job.

“What’s your source? Or are you just making stuff up?”

Megan worked for an escort service. Matts friends started the American Physicians medical MJ group and he got her that the job as communications director.

Even if it's true...she's pretty, not a Chinese spy like Eric Fartwell's handler...and I thought leftists want to legalize ALL drugs, so what's the problem with consenting adults using them?

Of course, it's all nonsense and they have zero aCTUAL evidence.

The story writer needs to be charged with fraud and racketeering. This is like the Mafia paid off newspaper writers from the Godfather movies, who were paid to write lies or cry foul when police cracked down on Italians or Irish gangs.

Yahoo is just a for profit media smear machine.

Spare the clickbait:

“Two witnesses...one ‘remembers’...could not confirm...Mark J. O’Brien, a criminal defense lawyer [ostensibly for the girl], said the allegations were not “accurate”...Gaetz has not been charged with a crime, and the government has not publicly acknowledged a case against him.”

AND, as you cite, no pictures...except, of course, the public photos linked at the source.

Poor judgment on Gaetz’s part, but no evidence of a crime.

Again.

Hit piece.

Assuming that line is true, of course, he could be in trouble.

Same thing could, and was, stated about ALL of the accusations against President Trump.

None of it was true.

This is SO obvious a pack of LIES - the same tactic they are using on the other Firebrand - MTG - stating she had orgies on a yacht a few years ago. Gaetz and MTG are the two fearless warriors exposing Pelosi’s hypocritical kingdom AND the feckless UniParty RINOS so of course they have to be slandered.

That’s why God made it one of the 10 commandments - the evilness of it: “THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR”

Uh HUH. Right. Gaetz snorted cocaine. Maybe the accusers are the ones who did that, and it affected their brains. Badly.

Yet more unnamed “sources”. The same thing that fueled all the muh Russia BS for years and years.

I always had a bad feeling about Gaetz. Something about him is not authentic. This doesn’t surprise me if it’s true.

A very pretty “girl next door” type.

What is she doing with that goofy-looking goon, Matt Gaetz?

She can do better.

That’s your source?!? The article is a rehash of an article from The Daily Beast. That’s the sole source. Did you read the DB article? I just did. It’s crap.

Full of innuendo, some alleged facts on Greenberg, almost nothing on Gaetz except quotes from “two anonymous sources.” That’s it. That’s your entire proof?!? Seriously??? What are you, a DU plant?

They get at least one major fact completely wrong. They say Megan Zalonka founded MZ Strategy Group LLC, which is wrong. A 30 second websearch shows it was founded by a different MZ:

“Mariia Zimmerman, Founder and Principal of MZ Strategies, LLC, has been appointed by Virginia Governor Ralph Northam to the newly created Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA) Board of Directors. Zimmerman will represent the Richmond metropolitan area on the statewide governing body.”

http://mzstrategies.com/

But that’s to be expected from The Dialy Beast.

C’mon, man!

“Matt got her that job.”

Source? Other than The Daily Beast? Or just more disinformation about Matt Gaetz from you.

The DS is trying to kneecap Gaetz, now that Liz Cheney has taken a dive. Why? Because they both are on the Armed Services subcommittee, which sponsors all the cash going to War, Inc. Matr wants to end the Endless Wars. He can prevent republican backing of the giant cash flow. So they want him gone, plain and simple.

Freepers need to do some resear and stop reading and spreading crap from The Daily Beast.

Assuming you are a Patriot.

Good post.

I support Gaetz 100%
I don’t know him at all. But he’s innocent until proven guilty, he deserves due process, and I’ll wait for a court of law to tell me if he may have made some kind of mistake at some point.

Until such time — I’m 100% behind him.
I know the Democrats make up lies about everything and I know they can find all kinds of “witnesses” who will be happy to make “accusations”. But I’m not listening.
