Rep Matt Gaetz allegedly asked President Donald Trump for pre-emptive pardons for himself and his congressional allies for any crimes they may have committed months before he was revealed to be under federal investigation for sex trafficking.

Two sources with knowledge of the situation told the New York Times that Gaetz, one of Trump's fiercest defenders, approached the president with the extraordinary request in his final weeks in office.

The anonymous sources are really piling up.

Or is it just a couple of people with an ax to grind?

Or the NYT is just making it up?

Anywho, so far nothing but allegations and not a peep from the victim.

Just alot of smoke and mirrors.

What a complete pile of BS? Another non sourced story. I have lost count at so many stories that were debunked because of crap like this.

Gotta say again...there's so much junk reporting and misleading stories being pushed today that there really isn't anything actually ‘news’....more like networks are competing with each other in who can be the most absurd and ridiculous!

An anonymous source reported that Gatez was running an child smuggling operation that has a tunnel under the Gulf of Mexico that ends under his congressional office.

Those sources need to stop being cowards and if they are truthful they should tell us who they are and back up their allegations with fact.

"Un-named sources" should be treated with the disdain they deserve and given zero credibility.

If they're telling the truth they'd have zero issues going on the record. That's how I look at it.

This one situation where we need to withhold judgment until the facts are in.

Regarding your tagline, I like Hoyt Atkins version, I have a rather deep voice and I sometimes practice singing it in the bass to baritone range. Daily I grow more fond of it, I used to walk behind a mule on the little farm where I was born about ten miles from the site of the first secession meeting and I thought there were some crazy things going on back then but I never imagined the insanity of the current days.
