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

Wow
The New York Times is complicit.
Hope he kept copies.
L
So do I.
He trusts the FBI to protect him?
Yikes.
Interestink!!!
Wondered if there was something that was causing him to bail out.
Bagpipes Barr was busy I see.
He said that going to Newsmax article was also fake news.
EVERYONE of the DOJ and FBI employees need to be fired and they and their families jailed for eternity.
My personal preference would get me banned.
He should go full-bore with an information release. This allusion to something going on is not helping. It is hard to believe that someone would try to extort $25 million based on nothing, him being a Representative with some clout. Look at little adam schiff; no matter how corrupt his activities, he skates.
Silly republican, that doesn’t work against communists.
Isn’t the FBI busy with all their resources committed to the Hunter Biden laptop?
Can’t believe he revealed the wire. That part of the investigation must be over
Does Gaetz come from a wealthy - REALLY wealthy - family? If not, why would anyone, particularly a former DOJ official, believe a US Congressman had $25M laying around to make an embarrassing story go away?
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.’
I think skepticism in a case like this is always warranted...skepticism of all parties. When the parties involve the NY Times, FBI, DOJ and a politician, robust skepticism is warranted, of everyone.
