Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, a rising star in the Republican Party, appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight Friday evening and sounded optimistic that Americans may finally see Hillary Clinton end up behind bars for “bribery” and “money laundering” among potentially other crimes.
Rep. Gaetz detailed the accusations against Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation which he asserts is a “money laundering operation” and that Hillary, while heading Obama’s State Department, may have provided cover-up for the Hezbollah terrorist drug-running operation in the United States, an operation Obama refused to legally pursue in order to provide favor to Iranian mullahs as a way to get his beloved Iran nuclear deal.
TUCKER CARLSON: “So the Clinton people are saying, ‘Look, Hillary Clinton has been a private citizen for a long time. She has been out of politics in effect for a year. Why now?’ Why is the significance of these do you think for the rest of the country?”
CONGRESSMAN MATT GAETZ: “There may have been acts that occurred at the State Department as a consequence of bribes paid to the Clinton Foundation which are creating an ongoing security concern for the United States of America, Tucker.
Take for example the Hezbollah story you just mentioned. It’s not just cocaine that’s being trafficked. You’ve got Hezbollah working in common cause with narco-traffickers in South America to move opium, to move heroin and to move people into the United States. And the investigation that was going on to degrade these networks, to degrade the collusion between Hezbollah and South American narco-traffickers was smothered by the people of the Justice Department.
There is a suspicion that the State Department — led by Hillary Clinton — had a role in limiting the American people’s access to information about Hezbollah being funded and their operations in this country because they wanted the Iranian nuclear deal so bad they didn’t want us focusing on the fact that Iran has funded over 100 mosques in South America to recruit people and then to send them to the United States to do harm.”
Gaetz strongly suggested the wait may finally be over:
“You know we have been calling for this for over five months. 20 members of the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Attorney General Sessions saying we have to look into these things because of the ongoing security concerns,” Congressman Gaetz explained.
“And finally, now we have Hillary Clinton dealing with investigations cascading down on here like it’s a bomb cyclone. I think the day is coming soon Tucker we’ll be sending an ‘I’m with her t-shirt’ to Hillary Clinton’s cellmate,” he declared.
“So you think she is criminally exposed potentially?” Carlson asked.
“Absolutely,” Gaetz answered without hesitation. “If people were taking bribes and as a consequence of those bribes engaging in actions they would not otherwise be engaging in, that is a crime. You can’t do that in United States of America. We have got to go now and remedy consequences. Take for example the subject of the show tonight, the opioid problem. If you have people trafficking and would have been found out otherwise we have to now go back and remediate the harm that the Clintons caused this country.”
Gaetz’s harsh words may even be understated. He didn’t even mention Clinton’s email scandal and the Uranium One scandal, which are now reportedly under new scrutiny under the Department of Justice led by Trump Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
This was the whole reason for the nutty Russian Trump attack. A preemptive strike because the Clinton’s were terrified by the prospect of spending prison time. If they do go to prison, and I know that’s a million to one shot, I will dance a jig.
Maybe but this Gaetz guy is smarmy.
Congressman Gaetz gave the perfect answer. As the walls close around Hillary (and hopefully Obama), we know the media is going to give us "they are out of office now!" garbage.
But treason, bribery, money laundering, espionage, and all the rest don't go out the window just because they are now pulling string behind the scenes. AND the security of the US is still being compromised because of their crimes.
That's why his answer is so brilliant and correct. The Left cannot refute his charge, other than to lie and obscure.
Treason is Treason!
Indict her, try her, and convict her first. Then brag about sending tee shirts to someone.
CONGRESSMAN MATT GAETZ: “There may have been acts that occurred at the State Department as a consequence of bribes paid to the Clinton Foundation which are creating an ongoing security concern for the United States of America."
He looks good to me.
Confiscate the Clinton Foundation money and use to against the National Debt.
How many suicides will putting them away require?
Better still, use it to build the wall.
The way the Clintons spend money, it is doubtful much is left to confiscate!
I saw it live and Gaetz did give the perfect answer. At some point I believe the threat that Gaetz was inferring will be shown to be our own Uranium going to either Iran or NK. There have been some references to that already, but that powder is mostly being kept dry until later for maximum effect. Gaetz did a good job of setting the table, in fact he’s been very innovative in his responses to the media, and is one of the few on TV that gets my undivided attention whenever he starts to speak.
The point is that the Clintons are the modern example of how to commit “legal graft” using a spouse, speaking fees, and a “non-profit” foundation.
If they get away with it, every congress-critter, mayor, and governor has a template about how to get paid for corruption.
One writer,Walter Russell Mead, even applauded them for pioneering this approach:
“The Clintons stand where money, influence, and celebrity form a nexus. When Hillary Clinton was running the State Department and Bill Clinton was shaking down contributors to the Foundation, the donors knew, or thought they knew, what they were getting. Now that Hillary is running for President, the donors have an even better idea of what good things might come to them—or what problems and complications could develop if they cut the Clintons off.
I don’t say that the Clintons are breaking the law, at least as far as the basic principles of the machine go. As Tammany Hall’s George Washington Plunkett once said, there is such a thing as “honest graft.” In the old fashioned political machine, that meant that you only take money from the group you had already decided on legitimate grounds would get the contract. The new machine offers even more opportunities for honest graft than the old kind.”
The Clintons spend OTHER people’s money.
But according to Whoraldo this is in the past, let’s not worry about it, concentrate on the future.
What a putz, Sebastian Gorka exposed Whoraldo big time on Hannity’s show on Thursday. That Clown must be on Pins and Needles waiting for the “Me Too” crowd to come after him. But he has an excuse “It was in the past”
Good Morning, and great points about the Clintons writing the modern play book for how to sell out the country for their own personal gain. There’s some evidence that McCain is involved in a similar scheme, as are probably the Bushes, but no one even close to the level of the Clintons.
Many times when Gaetz speaks, he makes the point that we have to make sure this type of thing is never allowed to happen again. His critics on the right, of which thankfully there are very few, are quick to say that’s great but what are you going to about what’s already happened? I have those same questions too, but Gaetz’s primary responsibility is to create laws, not enforce them. And Gaetz is still doing as much as not more than anyone in Congress to bring attention to the crimes of the Democrats, and the their cover up specialists at the DOJ, to possibly even include Mueller.
