Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) has been exonerated and the Department of Justice’s sex trafficking investigation has been shut down as the man who made the false allegations is now behind bars. Florida developer and convicted fraud, Stephen Alford, faced a judge on Tuesday after he was indicted for extortion.

The Leftist propaganda machine has been referring to Gaetz as a sex offender/pedophile for some time. I wonder when they’ll issue their retractions and/or corrections?
I remember some of the FR members who believed this nonsense.
One of the big reasons its hard to attract good conservatives to politics is they KNOW they will be targeted for termination by the Uniparty.
up yours leftist ruination machine!
It’s not that I believed it. I reserved judgment. But I did think that the defense sounded bizarre and implausible. Turned out to be true
How many FReepers backed away from Gaetz, believing the charges?
Go get em Matt.!
Not me. I smelled a Rat from the beginning.
Sex and Bribery is Clinton playbook fiction.
The first of Never.
He gave an interview on Newsmax and stated there are 2 government agents intimately involved that nothing has happened to yet??
Agree.
The damage was done. That’s all that mattered.
I remember too. There is always that group quick to believe the worst about someone even though we have seen this happen over and over and over for years. Attacking the reputation of conservatives with false accusations is right out of the dem (and communist) playbook. And even when they were shown to be innocent they *might* put a little correction somewhere buried in their publication, or ignore it all together.
How about CNN MSNBC ABC CBS and a slew of others charged with slander .
Not true, they've both been promoted.
I hope he files multiple lawsuits against the lamestream media outlets that colluded in damaging his reputation.
What you see here is the ONLY mention in any media you’re likely to see. The story is “too good” for the MSM to let go.
And substitute Pedo Joe
