From the first whisper of accusations against former Representative Matt Gaetz, it has been evident that the wheels of political retribution are spinning at full speed. The charges against Trumpâs pick for Attorney General are less about justice and more about a cynical political vendetta by a cadre of establishment actors desperate to settle old scores. This political theater isn't about protecting the sanctity of public office; rather, itâs about crushing those who dare upset the established orderâand Matt Gaetz has been that kind of thorn in their collective side for years.
The saga began with salacious claims involving Gaetz and alleged child sex trafficking, spearheaded by Joel Greenbergâa man with more scandals to his name than most career criminals. Greenberg, the former Seminole County tax collector, has been aptly described as âone of the most corrupt Florida politicians of all timeâ by reporter Marc Caputo. Let's not lose sight of Greenberg's rap sheet: identity theft, sex trafficking, public corruption, stalking, fraudulent loansâa laundry list that could earn him the title of âFlorida Man Extraordinaire.â But the most egregious aspect of Greenbergâs sordid tale is his propensity to lie and smear those around him. He falsely accused his own political rival, a schoolteacher named Brian Beute, of sexual misconduct with a minor, all to gain a leg up in a local election. That is the credibility level of Gaetz's accuserâa man who, as Judge Gregory Presnell noted, carried out actions that were âdownright evil.â
The Department of Justice itself, after a protracted investigation, recognized the lack of credibility behind Greenberg's allegations against Gaetz. It dropped the case in 2022, unwilling to proceed on the basis of such flimsy evidence. But for some members of the House Ethics Committee, the DOJ's conclusion meant nothing. They saw an opportunityânot for truth, but for revenge. Revenge against a congressman who had dared to call out their lucrative stock trades made with inside information, against a man who successfully ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The timing speaks volumes: just as Gaetz was tapped to serve as Trumpâs Attorney General, a committee report was about to be released recommending Gaetzâs expulsion. They were all set for a dramatic takedown. Gaetz, however, resigned before they could pull the triggerâa classic political chess move that left his adversaries holding a report they could no longer officially act upon.
But the leaks came anyway. Despite his resignation removing jurisdiction from the Ethics Committee, the allegations made their way to the press and into the hands of Senate Democrats and RINOs eager to see Gaetzâs downfall. The Committee relied on the same discredited witnesses, the same Joel Greenberg and his coerced accomplice, known only as âA.B.â This woman, âA.B.,â was deeply intertwined in Greenberg's criminal undertakingsâlying about her age on a sugar daddy website, engaging in acts for money, and even participating in pornographic content. The court itself, through Judge Presnell, had called her âessentially a prostitute.â This is the âwitnessâ they are relying on to destroy Gaetz's career.
The farcical nature of the charges is further underscored by a lawsuit filed in 2023 by former Florida state representative Chris Dorworth against Greenberg. In this suit, Dorworth details how Greenberg pressured and coerced âA.B.â into falsely implicating Gaetz, even going so far as to cover her legal expenses in exchange for her cooperation. And if that wasnât enough, a letter surfaced from a jailhouse informant who shared a cell with Greenbergâan informant who testified that Greenberg admitted to fabricating the accusations against Gaetz to reduce his own prison sentence. Two former federal agents interviewed the inmate, who confirmed Greenbergâs admission. In the face of such overwhelming evidence of deceit, itâs absurd that the allegations have even the smallest bit of credibility in the media.
This entire circus has been a deliberate, politically motivated effort to prevent Matt Gaetz from taking the helm of the Department of Justiceâand why? Because Gaetz, as Attorney General, poses an existential threat to the entrenched interests within the DOJ and the FBI. He is the man who, as a member of the House Judiciary Committee, repeatedly grilled DOJ officials, exposing their partisanship and corruption. He is a staunch America First patriot, unafraid to speak truth to power, and a loyal ally to President Trump. The establishment fears nothing more than a Gaetz-led DOJ that will finally have the courage to drain the swamp of politically motivated prosecutions, bureaucratic rot, and the unholy alliances between career government officials and partisan actors.
Gaetzâs critics would have you believe that their opposition is rooted in some noble pursuit of justice. Yet their motivations are as transparent as Greenbergâs liesâit's all about payback. Gaetz dared to challenge Speaker Kevin McCarthy, dared to call out his colleagues for profiting from insider information, dared to be an unapologetic supporter of President Trump. In an age where the âUnipartyâ controls much of Washington, he refused to play by their rules. His enemies are the same politicians who have been selling their influence to the highest bidder while feigning outrage at his supposed moral failings. Theyâve taken the motto âIf you canât beat them, smear themâ to new heights, relying on the thoroughly discredited testimony of an opportunistic conman and his compromised accomplice.
Yet even in the face of this political witch hunt, Gaetz emerges not as a victim but as the right man to lead a new Department of Justice, one capable of reclaiming the credibility that has been systematically eroded by bureaucrats weaponizing their power. Imagine an Attorney General who would prioritize the protection of American citizens over appeasing radical ideologues, who would restore equal justice under the law by pursuing real corruptionâfrom Hunter Bidenâs undisclosed foreign deals to the dubious Clinton Foundation transactions. An Attorney General Gaetz would mean the dismantling of the double standards that have come to define American justice, where rioters and looters are treated with kid gloves while political opponents are thrown in solitary confinement.
Matt Gaetzâs appointment is precisely the kind of shake-up the DOJ needs, and precisely why the establishment is so terrified of him. Theyâre afraid of a man who isnât for sale, a man who wonât back down from the fight, and a man whoâll turn the scrutiny back on those who have abused their power. He has lived through the slander, the lies, the innuendo, and the partisan hateâand still stands. That is the kind of resilience that is needed at the highest levels of law enforcement in this country. The swamp fears Matt Gaetz because he understands them all too well, and they know heâll never stop until their grip on the levers of power is finally broken.
This isnât just about clearing Matt Gaetzâs name; itâs about exposing the rot that festers within our institutions. Itâs about holding accountable those who have turned the pursuit of justice into a political weapon and ensuring that in America, the rule of law applies to allânot just to those out of favor with the powers that be. Gaetzâs exoneration isnât just personal; itâs a promise of what he could bring to the Department of Justice. He is the right choice, the necessary choice, to restore faith in a system that has long lost its way.

More info on the Gaetz hoax.
BTTT
America needs to fight like hell for Gaetz. If we let the communist fascist win this battle, all of President Trump’s appointments will become targets for the RATS to gnaw on. Gaetz must be “the hill we die on.”
60 minutes did a whole show on how awful Trump’s picks are and how none of them are suitable. So yes, it’s full on war from the Left. It never ends.
There are certain “freepers” who will not be seen on this thread.
They’re busy smearing Gaetz on other threads...
when will silly Americans learn that when democrats win THEY call the shots and the republicans fall in line but when republicans win...democrats call the shots and republicans fall in line.
âIf you canât beat them, smear themâ
Standard sociopathic operating procedure.
The hoax machine.
The overwhelming Trump victory in the face of all the baseless lawfare, lies, and slander launched against him should mean that the era of "politics of destruction" are behind us.
Gaetz is a great pick for AG. I can’t think of anyone who could shake up the fetid Dept. of Injustice more than he can. So, of course the Dims and pantywaist establishment Republicans are lining up against him. I hope Trump will stick with this nomination and back down the establishment.
Is he guilty of moral or legal offenses? Of course not.
But he falls way short on lawyering experience. Surely Trump could have found someone who is equally MAGA but knows how to clean-out DOJ AND to harness it for good.

One would think. Gaetz hasn't done anything that would make me think he's the best choice.
When Gaetz is installed as AG, the first thing he should do is indict Biden and Harris as accessories to the murder of Laken Riley along with the illegal wetback.
Surely Trump could have found someone who is equally MAGA but knows how to clean-out DOJ AND to harness it for good.

One would think. Gaetz hasn’t done anything that would make me think he’s the best choice.

Exactly. Gaetz, like Bannon, makes our crowd feel good by telling people off and making threatening remarks. But MAGA needs articulate nominees who, like Vance, also know how to get things done and will not involve Trump in needless confirmation battles that may well be lost.
Bkmk
Another BTTT. Accountability, Accountability, Accountability and a Common Sense Appointment by President Trump.
The two tiered justice system exposed again.
