I’m assuming that the FBI can confirm this.

“We can neither confirm nor deny the existence or status of an investigation, nor can we offer comment at this time,” Clark said. “We appreciate you reaching out, and I’m sorry I can’t be of more help.”

I wish I could assume that the FBI and DOJ aren’t complicit in the extortion attempt.

“I said to the FBI ‘I’m willing to wear a wire and be cooperative,’ but I was asked to say things that are not true to draw out an admission,” Don Gaetz said in the interview. “I wanted there to be an understanding committed in writing that I’m working for the FBI and at their request, not operating on my own.”

From most of his 10 years in the Florida Senate, Don Gaetz was the chamber’s richest member. His wealth comes from having a pioneering role in the hospice industry. In the late 1970s, Gaetz formed Hospice Care Inc., a nonprofit hospice facility. He then became a leading force behind passage of Florida’s hospice licensing law, which gave nonprofits like the one he founded an early head start over for-profit facilities.

In March 25 emails between Neiman and Goldberg that Matt Gaetz shared with POLITICO, Don Gaetz’s cooperation was discussed and confirmed.

“I can confirm that your client is working with my office as well as the FBI at the government’s request in order to determine if a federal crime has been committed,” read an email from Goldberg to Neiman. “This has been discussed with, and approved by, the FBI as well as leadership in my office and components of main justice.”

“The government thanks you for working cooperatively with the FBI,” the email concludes.

The point is, did he have a sexual relationship with a 17year old? Hope he can prove he did not.

Kind of hard since we know of the crimes they have already committed.

Is it me or is this whole thing bizarre? I read Tucker said it was the weirdest interview he’s ever done.

The feds have been in the pocket of the commie left for years, that is why they wont investigate Hunter Biden’s laptop, which is chalk full of horrible horrible videos and crimes, but they wont touch him since he’s a Biden..meanwhile they go after the Gaetz family, seriously how did they expect them to come up with 25 mil, do they even have 25 mil just floating around

He says there is no 17 year old. And since when you have to prove you are not guilty and how do you do that if there is no person. They need to show some proof, not him

I wouldn’t assume a thing. Think of Hunter Biden.

Guilty until proven innocent?

Are you on the right forum?

You might want to learn a little bit about American law, because that is not how it works.

So Gaetz is caught up in an alleged extortion scheme as a result of his alleged affair with a 17 year old which he allegedly paid to travel and go out with him that he allegedly says didn’t happen and he says he allegedly didn’t lie about. Where there’s smoke...
