Man Ex-Intelligence officer accused of trying to extort Max Gaetz admits he asked for cash

Better headline.

(A mere "man" is so meaningless! It's almost as though the author wanted to TONE DOWN the importance of his own report.)

“I explained that in no way am I trying to extort him and that if he decides not to help us, he’ll never hear from me again,” Kent told Smerconish.

"I just explained that I knew where his kidnapped 3-year-old daughter was being held, but that if he didn't want to fork over the dough, he'll never hear from me again."

Regards,

Every pro Trump politician is under investigation. You can count on it. Investigations search of a crimes.

Because democrats don’t need the truth- just a ‘wrap up smear’ to convict someone.

“He gave the bank teller a note demanding cash, but it wasn’t a robbery or anything.”

Correct because uneported at the time was that in the note handed to the Teller was this sentence.

“If you choose not to give me cash I will peacefully leave immediately.”

The question is if he will have one accuser or if he will have many!

Like the dozen plus women who’ve come out against Cuomo? That doesn’t seem to have damaged him. But he is on the right team, which is to say the Left.

A lobbyist once told me in Washington the rewards are money, sex and power. As soon as they arrive in DC temptations are immediately put before them to see if they can be trapped. Many fall quickly to temptation, and once they are on the hook they tow the line. While some refuse the temptations, they are vulnerable due to family issues, financial pressures, or youthful indiscretions which once uncovered by the power structure can be used to force compliance. The few who show maverick tendencies, actually have squeaky clean lives, and aren’t easily tempted receive a private meeting with a senior aid to the leadership or party official where the rules are explained. Play ball or your life will be hell, you will be primaries, and we will make sure you can’t fund your re-election campaign.

Only the independently wealthy, with a skeleton free closet and the resources to self fund campaigns can act independently. As my lobbyist friend said, “When you choose to play in the sewer everyday, even the cleanest man will get dirty.” His conclusion after two decades working with the politicians in DC - anyone who chooses to run for re-election is dirty. Someone who is ethical and wants to retain his/her integrity will be completely disgusted by the corruption and leave. Those who stay, are comfortable and reap the rewards - money, sex, and eventually the chance to wield real power.

Really terrific and worthwhile discussion of the Matt Gaetz situation starts at 1:15:30.

Head and shoulders better analysis than anything else I’ve seen or read.

Very likely Gaetz, a deep state enemy, is the victim of deep state DOJ/FBI entrapment.

Even Trump’s people knew Gaetz is a scumbag. This is why Trump hasn’t said a word in defense of him. He makes good theater but he is not a serious conservative politician. He’s a playboy and anyone on this side of the aisle who thinks he is good for our brand is a fool. The rumors about his scumbagging were around long before this-and of that is what you want representing your conservatism-no wonder we are losing. We’ve got t be better than Democrats and demand it. When our candidates say they will not raise the deficit but lower it they can’t raise it the same as Obama in half the time and be defended like the Japs defended Tarawa.

In his op ed, Matt stated he has never paid for sex. And as an adult man never had sex with a 17 yr old.

Matt admits he is 'very generous' with girl friends and paid their travel expenses when they were on the road with him.

Not exactly hookers, but it smells fishy...hmmm?

The demonRATs and the media {same thing} are having a field day with these circumstances.

If his voters stick with him, the press can pound sand.

You do have proof he did anything wrong. Being a playboy is not a crime.

Sounds like she was 17 and he’s claiming they didn’t have sex until her 18th birthday. Also, that he had s lot of young girlfriends and spent a lot of money on them.

My best guess is he didn’t do anything illegal, or it’s hard to prove, which is exactly why the story was leaked to the communist press.

Have you realized that none of the women (who were 17 at the time) has come forward to accuse Gaetz of doing what he supposedly did.”

They were all 16...
