Matt Gaetz names former DOJ official he says tried to extort his family for $25 million

David McGee, an attorney with Beggs & Lane, is the man the Florida Republican named during an appearance Tuesday evening on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show in which he responded to reports that he is under federal investigation over a former relationship.

McGee served for six years as the first assistant at the U.S. Attorney’s Office and for seven years as the lead attorney for a Justice Department's Organized Crime Task Force, according to his biography on the website of his law firm, which is based in Pensacola, Florida.

The New York Times reported Gaetz, 38, is being looked at as part of a broader investigation into local Florida official Joel Greenberg, a political ally who was indicted last summer on an array of charges, including sex trafficking of a minor and financially supporting people in exchange for sex, at least one of whom was an underage girl.

Investigators are said to be examining whether Gaetz had a sexual relationship two years ago with a girl believed to have been 17 at the time and paid her to travel with him. Specifically authorities are trying to determine whether he violated federal sex trafficking laws.

Gaetz told Carlson that the FBI, alongside the Department of Justice, had his father wear a wire to eavesdrop on conversations between him and McGee, who the lawmaker alleged was trying to receive $25 million in exchange for making the allegations disappear. The Florida Republican said his father was set to catch McGee on Wednesday in the act demanding "4.5 million" as a "down payment" on the "bribe," adding further that the New York Times leak hampered the investigation.

I guess you want me to believe that he was providing flights and hotels for girlfriend(s) and not fornicating. While possible I am not that naive.

Don't guess. Ask.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.


Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.


I want you to believe that fornication is a deadly sin and everyone, including Matt Gaetz, should resolve never to do it (again). That means no more pornography for those who wink at it.

“I’m sorry, this stinks to high heaven.”

You’re not sorry - you hope a friend of Trump gets framed. You are a troll and your signup date is faked.

A republican does something wrong and the dimocratic marxist’s Pravda hits with full force, demanding he be jailed. A marxist’s rapes a child and they turn their heads and look the other way. These scum are as two faced as a human being can be. They lie, cheat and protect the dimocrats and hate and lie concerning republicans. I don’t know this guy or what he is accused of doing. But, to the dimocrats, the mere fact he has (R) after his name, makes him guilty.

Did you know that Bill Clinton took drags on a marijuana cigarette but he didn’t inhale?
