Alleged DOJ Extortionist David McGee Responds To Rep. Matt Gaetz

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.”

He was a federal prosecutor.

By definition, a lying piece of dogMitt.

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

Not true, because the target was the father who may or may not be in the know of his son’s personal life.

Blackmailing parents and grandparents over alleged crimes of children and grandchildren is a growing scam industry.

And the entire purpose of the blackmail attempt may have simply been to put the story on the front page of the news industry. A gaslighting and smear operation.

Republican: If Matt did anything wrong, he should be investigated and if true, punished.

Democrat: If Swalwell did anything wrong, he should be promoted and rewarded with a larger income.

F’em.

[Hulka]

But they can publish all sorts of unsubstantiated lies and allegations.

[FreedomPoster]

Leaked photos emerge documenting Gaetz's kid diddling:

[kiryandil]

McGee is the very picture of a skeevy greaseball.

AND he was a federal prosecutor, like that POS Andy Weissmann.

[AnthonySoprano]

‘
Blackmail was pretense to interview Dad, surprise him and have him obfuscate.

It’s only the pretense - the Sting.

[pollyshy]

Rumors about Matt and a teenage boy. Rumors about Matt and a teenage girl. Cui bono?

[gloryblaze]

Gaetz, of course. But he may have laid down with a dog buddy, one Joel Greenberg, and got fleas.

Ask yourself this. Would you buy a used car from this guy? 😏

[wardaddy]

Late 30s man with a 17 year old girl is now SEX TRAFFICKING?

That’s absurd....

Of course that’s the age of Randy Andy’s girl on Lolita Island

Sex crimes against womyn have taken a weird turn to say the least

That said Gaetz always struck me as right minded but a mite ....I’m not sure....contrived or for effect....does that make sense....he’s said a few things I disagreed with

[kvanbrunt2]

If gaetz doesn’t have his own tape and photo evidence he is toast.

[kvanbrunt2]

Why was the DOJ investigating such an insignificant case other than to embarrass him politically?>>> And specifically signed off by Barr.

“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.

Who ever leaked this to the NYTs committed a felony, obstruction of justice and interfering in a federal investigation.

I am sick of the media being immune from prosecution from shielding criminals. If your "source" is in the act of committing a crime they are not entitled to anonymity and if your media organization hides the source of the illegal leak you are an accessory after the fact.

[faucetman]

Now THAT is a comment worth reading! (I’m just going to roll with your facts)

[faucetman]

“By definition, a lying piece of dogMitt

or a lying piece of dogSchiff

[dandiegirl]

Barr opened this investigation but sat on Hunter Biden’s crimes exposed on his laptop.

[Flaming Conservative]

And if we believe Matt, we’re just considered a bunch of conspiracy theorists. Remember Brett Kavanaugh; they brought in women who told “facts” made up of whole cloth, which democrats insisted were absolutely true. No doubt they’ll do the same to Gaetz. House democrats are already calling for him to resign. As for the New York Slimes, remember Walter Duranty. They will stoop to anything to help the left.
Unless I see unaltered photos or video of Gaetz dallying with someone underage, I won’t believe a word against Gaetz. (And he’s not one of my favorites, personality wise; he seems to love the camera). However, he’s excellent at dishing dirt on democrats. For that, I’m a fan.

[Az Joe]

Now cut that out!

[CaptainK]

Before forming an opinion I’d like to see a statement from Mr McGee saying he was never in touch with Matt or his family.
