Media mob forced to eat crow after prosecutors recommend no charges in sex-trafficking probe; Gaetz responds

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) appears to be on the verge of being vindicated after being viciously smeared by leftists and the media over long-running sex-trafficking allegations as career prosecutors recommend dropping the investigation.

The prosecutors told Justice Department superiors that a conviction is unlikely due to credibility questions concerning the two central witnesses, according to The Washington Post.

“Senior department officials have not made a final decision on whether to charge Gaetz, but it is rare for such advice to be rejected, these people told The Washington Post, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the deliberations. They added that it is always possible additional evidence emerges that could alter prosecutors’ understanding of the case,” the media outlet reported.

“Nevertheless, it is unlikely that federal authorities will charge Gaetz with a crime in an investigation that started in late 2020 and focused on his alleged involvement with a 17-year-old girl several years earlier. Gaetz, 40, has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, saying he has never paid for sex. He has also said the only time he had sex with a 17-year-old was when he was also 17,” the Washington Post damningly elaborated.

Oh don’t worry, The filthy leftist media will not only leave those charges hanging over Matt’s head, they’ll continue to accuse him as if he were never exonerated.

It’s really really really yellow ‘journalism’ these days. This media is far worse than even Pravda was in its prime.

That depends on political party. Flynn was exactly that situation.
