Alleged DOJ Extortionist David McGee Responds To Rep. Matt Gaetz
Populist Press ^ | 03/31/2021

Posted on 03/31/2021 9:33:16 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Congressman Matt Gaetz claimed that, as part of an FBI sting, his father was sup­posed to con­tact this for­mer DOJ employ­ee on Wednes­day to arrange a down­pay­ment of $4.5 mil­lion on the $25 mil­lion extor­tion. The U.S. Attorney’s Offices for North­ern and Cen­tral Flori­da declined to comment.

“I don’t think it’s a coin­ci­dence that tonight some­how The New York Times is leak­ing this infor­ma­tion, smear­ing me and ruin­ing the inves­ti­ga­tion that would like­ly result in a one of the for­mer col­leagues of the cur­rent DOJ being brought to jus­tice,” Gaetz said.

Gaetz told Fox that the for­mer DOJ employ­ee going after him was David McGee, now a lawyer at Beg­gs & Lane. In an inter­view with The Dai­ly Beast late Tues­day night, McGee said any reports of extor­tion involv­ing him or his firm were “com­plete­ly, total­ly false.”

“This is a bla­tant attempt to dis­tract from the fact that Matt Gaetz is appar­ent­ly about to be indict­ed for sex traf­fick­ing under­age girls,” McGee said.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R) on Fox News just accused David McGee, former DOJ official now with the Florida law firm Beggs & Lane, of attempting to extort him. McGee did not immediately responded to requests for comment via email/phone

Before the Fox inter­view Tues­day night, Gaetz used his Twit­ter to call on the Jus­tice Depart­ment to “imme­di­ate­ly release the tapes, made at their direc­tion, which impli­cate their for­mer col­league in crimes against me based on false allegations.”

When asked how long, and in what ways, he had been coop­er­at­ing with the feds, the MAGA con­gress­man sim­ply texted The Dai­ly Beast on Tues­day night, “March 16 first extor­tion text was sent.” He did not imme­di­ate­ly reply to fol­low-up mes­sages seek­ing clarification.

Andrea Clark, a spokes­woman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the North­ern Dis­trict of Flori­da, pro­vid­ed no fur­ther clar­i­ty. “We don’t con­firm or deny the exis­tence of any ongo­ing inves­ti­ga­tion. We can’t make any kind of com­ment,” she said.

The sup­posed DOJ offi­cial extort­ing Matt Gaetz was David McGee, a career guy in DOJ who served as a 1st AUSA. Not some­one in a posi­tion to extort. He says, “This is a bla­tant attempt to dis­tract from the fact that Gaetz is appar­ent­ly about to indict­ed for sex traf­fick­ing girls.”

That guy looks like a total skeev. And he's already a lawyer.

Lock him up.

The facts of such sexual accusation scandals tend to reveal themselves quite quickly.

Its financial and political crime that political and deep-state types can drag-out or bury forever

I wonder if this slime ball lawyer is in someway connected with the former boss of a dead intern known as Joe Mika-Scarborough or Joey’s pals at the lincoln project?

Goodness, this is a hard one. Do we believe the New York Times and a former DoJ guy, or, one of our best guys.

Good luck to you, Matt.
You’re a good explainer for GOP issues. I hope you politically survive this purging attempt.

The guy was setting up Dad for his old employer.

They always use intermediaries.

Peter Strzok didn’t hand Papadopolous $10,000, but he does act shocked when he finds it in the luggage at the airport when the target deplaned.

Papadopolous didn’t bring the money home, thwarting them, btw.

They get us individually, and we too often acquiesce.

Understanding this is the Deep State and it’s happening everywhere, we should feel emboldened and overwhelm them in return.

This is the Deep State that we need to fight.

Any patriot that's a threat to the derp state, they will seek to destroy.

Trump, Palin, Nunez, Jordan, Green, and now Goetz.

We have their playbook.

“We can’t make any kind of comment,” she said from the New York Times office in Manhattan.

RE: Do we believe the New York Times and a former DoJ guy,

Let’s look at their records:

1) What was the NY Times’s stance during the Brett Kavanaugh hearing?

2) What did the FBI ( under the DOJ ) do with the Christopher Steele dossier that started the whole “Russia Collusion” hoax?

3) Did the DOJ do anything with the laptop of Hunter Biden?

Just three of the MANY of their records.

If it’s a false allegation, the blackmailer and the blackmailed know it’s not worth 10 cents.

And the threat of disclosure has zero weight.

Whether he diddled a little girl is not directly related to the supposed sting operation. And they may be both pursued.

There’s more to this story.

Mr. McGee was the dirtbag reporter trying to get David Banner arrested.

Age of consent in DC is 16 while in Florida it is 18. If he had dinner with her in DC and slept with her in Florida, he is guilty of a crime. And, if he had dinner with her in Florida and slept with her in DC, he is guilty of being a stud. Further, if he slept with her in Florida, violation of age of consent laws are a state offense in which the Feds have no jurisdiction. Why was the DOJ investigating such an insignificant case other than to embarrass him politically?

Often, the person making an accusation is guilty of the very crime they’re asserting.
