The former Department of Justice official accused of trying to extort $25 million from Rep. Matt Gaetz slammed the allegations as a “blatant attempt to distract” from the federal sex-trafficking probe that’s underway.
David McGee, a former federal prosecutor in Florida who is now working at the firm Beggs & Lane, denied blackmailing Gaetz, who is under investigation for his alleged sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl.
“It is completely false,” McGee told the Washington Post. “It’s a blatant attempt to distract from the fact that he’s under investigation for sex trafficking of minors.”
McGee added, “I have no connection with that case at all, other than, one of a thousand people who have heard the rumors.”
After news of the probe involving Gaetz broke on Tuesday, the Florida congressman accused McGee of trying to shake his family down for $25 million.
The Republican claimed the existence of the DOJ probe was leaked to the media in an effort to thwart the FBI investigation into the alleged extortion plot.

Wow. That’s interesting, I fully expected him to come right out and admit it. Don’t all the accused do that.
I heard John Durham is avail to investigate.
David McGee has ties to the CIA:

His law firm specializes in white collar defense against the kinds of things Democrats typically get caught doing:

No its typical behavior when one gets caught with the goods like this vermin has.

Well. In that case, Gaetz has nothing to sweat over.
In most states that is legal, under Romeo and Juliet laws. A middle aged man banging a minor, not so much.
One other possibility:
The 17 year old is no longer 17 and decides to go public with accusations against Gaetz.
Remember when the Democrats brought out sluts to falsely accuse Brett M. Kavanaugh? They admitted they lied and no one was prosecuted.
Everything is speculation at this point. It looks bad, but we will see if they have enough case to prosecute. If not, hopefully Gaetz doesn’t take too much of a hit.
“didn’t ever point out that the entire Mueller investigation was a fraud”
Pointing out that, all along, they were in on the scam
Just Bush family uniparty plants, tasked with making sure no one got impeded in the multiple Get Trump hoaxes
