So Rep. Matt Gaetz is unlikely to be charged in sex-trafficking probe...
American Thinker ^ | 24 Sep, 2022 | Rajan Laad

... and an extended campaign of smears and innuendo comes down to ... 'no charges.'

The Washington Post, citing people familiar with the case, reported yesterday that prosecutors have recommended against charging Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) in a long-running sex-trafficking investigation

The prosecutors informed the Justice Department that a conviction is unlikely because of credibility questions with the two central witnesses.

These two witnesses are a 17-year-old girl and Joel Greenberg, a former tax collector and one-time associate of Gaetz.

Greenberg pleaded guilty to multiple crimes such as sex trafficking of a child, aggravated identity theft, wire fraud, and defrauding a government loan program.

While investigating Greenberg’s conduct that investigators allegedly discovered evidence potentially implicating Gaetz in sex trafficking.

Greenberg has been providing investigators with information about Gaetz since last year.

The investigation of Gaetz’s alleged involvement with a 17-year-old girl several years earlier began in late 2020 with the approval of then-Attorney General Bill Barr.

SNIP

Back in 2021, the FBI charged a Florida resident Stephen M. Alford for attempting to extort $25 million from Gaetz’s father Don to secure a presidential pardon for the younger Gaetz amid the ongoing sex-trafficking probe.

The first assumption has to be that it is a hoax.

And still, for decades to come, Democrats will refer to Matt Gaetz as “that guy who was found guilty of sex trafficking and got off scot-free”.

I posted a new Scott Ritter video on Free Republic Saturday, after the Donbass referendum, and I got this reply, and I made this answer. However, the Matt Gaetz smear job is involved, so I’m reposting it here.

>>>> “LOL, pervert Scott Ritter?” <<<<

My reply:
Just like “pervert Matt Gaetz,” right?

When the Deep State Globo Homo Empire REALLY considers you to be a threat, this is their hole-card. You are a child-molesting kiddie-porn pervert. [Even though the FBI took everybody off their child pornography distribution cases to put them onto J-6 “White Supremacy” hunts]

Ask ace reporter Sharyl Attkisson. [Fast and Furious and Benghazi, etc. She was fired from CBS for doing actual investigative journalism.] Not only did the FBI/NSA/CIA plant “top secret” files in her computer, they tried to plant “kiddie porn” files in her husband’s computer.

She literally woke up to what was going on because her main computer tower, for work reasons, was in her bedroom near her bed, and for no reason, it would go into “max overdrive download whirr mode” at 3 am, for a half hour or more. For no reason she could think of. This is all in her book “Stonewalled.”

[If her work computer had been in an office in another room, she would not have been tipped off by its hard drive waking up and going into “turbine helicopter mode.” And she’d probably have been arrested for possessing T/S material. And her husband arrested for kiddie porn. Their family destroyed—by the deep state NSA/FBI/CIA/whoever.]

So Atkisson took her computer to “white hat” ex-fed-agent computer experts. The FBI/NSA/CIA/whoever had planted T/S files in her computer hard drive, to be “found” later after an FBI raid. [Think: Mar A Lago. Your FBI/NSA/CIA. Your tax dollars at work.]

Thank you, Tlozo-Soros-Globo-Homo-Puppet (witting or unwitting) for reminding me to mention how the deep state reacts when it feels a REAL threat from a minion who wanders off the reservation and goes off script.

Like USMC officer and U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter, who did not go along with the false “Iraq WMD” narrative, used to get us into the Iraq War. For this “offense,” they tried to frame Ritter as a child molester. [Hey, wounded / maimed Iraq vets, and family survivors? What do you think about the “Iraq WMDs” false narrative, the “big lie” that was used to send you to “Operation Iraqi Freedom?”]

This is the same exact “child molester” play they they tried more recently with Matt Gaetz. And attempted to do with Sharyl Attkisson’s husband. Attempting to download kiddie porn files onto his covertly federally hacked computer. To take out his wife because she would have been in his media firestorm “blast radius.”

Sharyl Atkisson’s husband would be a “convicted kiddie porn distributor” and she would have been convicted of illegally possessing T/S material if she had not heard her computer, near her bed, repeatedly going into helicopter mode at 3 am.

A standard KGB cold war tactic (without a doubt used on Moscow-visiting Bill Clinton, then a Rhodes Scholar) was to set up a male Western high-value tourist with a super hot girl who looks 25. He “accidentally” meets her at the hotel bar, but it’s all a set up. This was “KGB-101.”

Of course, the male mark’s Hotel Intourist room was wired for film and sound. At the right moment, the “Moscow Militia” (looking like police in uniforms, but actually KGB) would burst in, along with the “worried father” of the “underage girl.”

Next step is the proffer: “Normally this means ten years in a Moscow prison, but perhaps we can work something out.” This was step one in a blackmail process. It was KGB 101. if you don’t know this, you were born last week, or you are a retard.

No doubt this is what our own FBI/KGB did with Matt Gaetz, without success, and with Ritter, sticking some BS on him. Congressman Gaetz comes from a VERY wealthy family, and they could fight back and succeed. No doubt his legal expenses were/are in the millions. An ordinary Joe without deep pockets or connections might be forced into a corner to avoid an almost certain 50 years in a penitentiary, even on false charges.

But against rich or poor, it’s the exact same KGB tactic. Exactly the same.

Ask Matt Gaetz or Sharyl Attkisson, or her husband. This is what they do.

Folks, this is the level of PURE EVIL of the Globo Homo Empire deep state enemy we are up against. Including both paid trolls and useful idiots.

Yes they will, and they do, just as they do with Ritter.

The difference between the Gaetz and Ritter case outcomes? Gaetz comes from a super wealthy family, and could afford millions in legal defense costs. See the above long reply.

And then we had our “president’s” public reference yesterday to his relationship of some type when he was 30 with a 12-year old girl. Won’t see much about it in the “press”, of course.

KGB-style sexual entrapment is now part of the FBI Woke Gestapo tool set.

“Female FBI informant slept ‘in same room,’ smoked marijuana with Whitmer kidnap plotter”

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/whitmer-kidnap-trial-fbi-informant-slept-room-suspect

[Back to my own comments, read about the FBI sex spy at the link above.]

Notably, the FBI agent in charge of the Whitmer “FedNapping,” considered a signal FBI political victory in November 2020, was promoted to run the FBI preparations for J-6.

FBI headquarters saw Steven D’Antuono’s corrupt “results” with the Whitmer case, and brought him to DC to run the Capitol Insurrection “Buffalo Jump”.

I’ll bet D’Antuono has a fascinating communication history with Ray Epps and others.

Bill “Backstabber” Barr. MVP for team Deepstate.

“began in late 2020 with the approval of then-Attorney General Bill Barr.”

Dozens of videos of Hunter and not a word from that useless fat sack of crap.

“Trust Barr!” Squeaked the Qballs.

The Hunter, who was not in political office, story was a political hit piece in an election year and they for better or worse have rules about that. Matt was in congress. Barr absolutely should’ve ok’d this investigation.

Most of what I see from critics of Barr are people who can’t separate political outcomes they want with level headed criminal justice. They are essentially hypocrites.

Bullshit. Every word was true and you know it. You people who defend Barr are disgusting. He had no trouble approving the investigations of Trump and his entire family during an election.

Barr is garbage and so is anyone who defends his fat useless ass.

The difference between Gaetz and Ritter? Millions of dollars, or the lack thereof, for a legal defense.

Go back to the KGB/FBI entrapment scenario.
