The most interesting aspect of this strange offer

It’s unclear how Kent and his cohorts knew that Matt Gaetz, 38, was under investigation by the Department of Justice.

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

“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.

If the chump has to specifically deny it’s extortion, I am sure it’s probably extortion. 👎

Hey Kent: If you are really trying to do what you say, Open a GoFundMe account, publish the video to convince donors, and send out letters to all the rich people asking for donations.

Don’t walk up to a guy and tell him you want him to pay it all himself, and oh, by the way, I just happen to have some dirt on your son.

What are the odds that this guy has a friend, cousin, or girlfriend who works for the FBI or Justice Department?

It sounds like both men are in trouble.

I’m sure that this can all be cleared up once the FBI releases the recordings they are in the process of loosing at this very moment.

told him his son was having “legal issues” and might want to “generate good will”

Just a coincidence that a retired Air Force Officer just happens to have DOJ inside information about Gaetz being under investigation at the time he is asking dad for $25M.

"Nice political career your son has going there. Be a shame if anything happened to him".

If he tried such a move against a democrat, the FBI would have visited his house at 0400 and frog marched him in front of CNN.

I’m sorry to make this analogy, but it’s similar to Gaetz who said “I had a history of being very generous to my ex girlfriends and it sounds like somebody tried to make something untoward out of that”.

Like prostitution.

We’re living in a corrupt society where we barely know 10% of what’s going on.

This entire caper sounds like a story board for a series of Comic Books. Every plot generates at minimum five sub plots, hydra head style.

If you were just asking for money as a favor to help someone, why would you even say that? That's not how a conversation flows.

” I’m in need of $25 million to save Robert Levinson”

Really? Not $20 million? Why such an exact figure?
Sounds like baloney to me. And it sounds like a shakedown .

The fact that the press commies aren’t all over this prove it was a setup! Matt should go on TV and say “Try again fools”!
