I have no idea where the truth resides, but I know this: The DOJ & the FBI are absolutely corrupt from top to bottom.

Both agencies, to a great degree, were involved in a coup against the Trump administration.

I give them no slack. Look how the fake Capitol attack nonsense is falling apart now that it has reached the courts.

Thanks for that. I could only read the excerpt above. For whatever reason, my the Post website doesn’t like my VPN.

“Then again, maybe he can’t resist those 17 year olds”

So that’s what they want you to do: have some doubt.

Lots of people were saying that maybe Trump did some stuff in Moscow but it probably wasn’t all that bad.

Actually, NONE of it was true. It was a complete, utter fabrication.

But the damage was done, and the phony BS story had been sowed, and people said “well maybe...”.

No. Not maybe. Just NO. It’s crap.

Gaetz is one of their worst nightmares: an up and comer who doesn’t back down, thinks on his feet.

Barr and the rest of the Gang Enforcers needed a phony meme to go after him, now we see what it is.

Barr and Wray are the problems, and the guys they worked with like Mueller, Comey and Weissman are just part of the same gangster state muscle group. Threats to their little enterprise are always identified early and then taken out with outrageous garbage. Remember Vickie Sweat, the sleaze broad who accused Kavanaugh of outright rape, only to admit later that she had never met him, didn’t know where he lived, anything about him, it was all just riffin’?

That’s all this is.

And to forever taint Matt Gaetz as a viable candidate for anything in the future, because the MSM can be trusted to endlessly label him as having once been investigated for sex trafficking, whether there is a smidgen of truth to the allegation or not.

They aren’t releasing anything unless it’s damaging to Gaetz.

Have they released the name of the Capitol Shooter?

Just not gonna happen.

Looks like the DoJ needs to do some cleanup. They don’t want to be exposed for targeting Trump supporters. Probably a big misinformation onslaught coming before it fades away.

If they had a whiff of evidence, their CNN sisters would’ve accompanied them on a 4:00 am Raid long ago.

His Lawyer’s offices doors would’ve been kicked in.

We’ve seen this movie.

I’m not an expert at moving money, but I literally have NO CLUE as to what I would do with $25M. If I got it in my bank account, I’d have explain where it came from, since it would (obviously) be reported by my bank. If it were in cash, I could probably spend about $1M of it, over 30 years, without drawing undue attention by throwing cash everywhere (and I’m sure I’ll be checking out well before that) - with the exception being gambling, but even then, if I win a decent amount of money (even if I lost more), those ‘winnings’ get reported too.

Maybe there is some way to handle a windfall like that without traceability, but I don’t know what it is.

You’d give it to your handler at the DoJ.

Not about money. It was about creating a secret and a feeling of guilt on the part of Dad. That guilt would cause him to obfuscate when questioned.

At this point I’m going with Gaetz just because the DOJ is so corrupt. But apparently his interview with Tucker Carlson was a little weird.

This is a no-win scenario. Why? Something called the Large Currency Transaction report. Whoever paid you the money is going to have to explain, in a federal document, where that money was going because there was so much cash going out the bank door. Your name is going to be on that report. If it’s a wire transfer or check, of course they’ll obviously know who got paid.

A lot of people don’t realize that, with few exceptions, jury awards and settlements ARE considered by the IRS as taxable income.

So, if you get the money in a wire transfer or on a pallet of $100s, Uncle Sugar is still going to want his cut. The government ‘charitably’ allows you to deduct any money you paid in legal/lawyer fees. If you try to keep that money without reporting it on your annual return and the fedgov finds out, you’re ‘going to the Big House.

I believe the only money that isn’t taxable is compensatory damages from physical injuries, but I’m not certain.

The long knives out for Gaetz proves he’s effective.

If he did it. Hang em.

I had an affair with a 17 yo girl.
I was 15 at the time.

Matt Gaetz is another victim of the Deep State/Resist group tearing at anything good about America and her people. Where is all members of the GOP backing up Matt? Here is part of a letter from Congressman Jim Jordon asking for a donation to the GOP: "I’m hoping you’ll make one of the 1,159 contributions we need to reach our quarterly contribution goal." Jim, you need to be rallying your colleagues to support Matt.....show what the GOP is made up of, then ask for donations.

So this dude trying to get the millions is a lawyer in private practice and does not even work for the justice dept at the time of the alleged extortion?

He isn't any random lawyer in private practice. He reportedly has deep ties to CIA operatives, including the "former" CIA guy that that Iranians killed. He was the lawyer on the suit which granted more than 1 billion in damages due from Iran to the family of the CIA guy.

Read Sidney Powell's book Licensed To Lie for verification.

You can't trust a police state! Who knew?

McGee is reportedly a popular attorney among the spook set.

This article describes his ties to Robert Levinson who ended up dead at the hands of the Iranians after they captured him while he was apparently on some kind of CIA mission posing as a "tourist" in Iran.

I suspect many of these "former" government guys are really still on the "black" payroll working for some agency.

Barr and Wray are the problems...

It is interesting how they didn't ever point out that the entire Mueller investigation was a fraud as it was plodding along.

“ From what I see it looks like they got this DOJ rat fink!”

Yes indeed. When Matt explained that his father has been wearing a wire, it implied they had results from said wire. I hope they grind this smarmy DOJ creep into a paste.
