Getting to the Bottom of Matt Gaetz’s Nomination and Withdrawal
American Thinker ^ | 11/25/24 | John Cleer

Posted on 11/25/2024 10:03:35 AM PST by SeekAndFind

It appears that this is as close as we’ll get to the real Matt Gaetz story: his acquaintance, the former tax collector Joel Greenberg, was caught abusing his office to make fake IDs and concealed weapons permits, which led to the discovery of numerous crimes committed by Greenberg in office, financed with money he embezzled and revolving around prostitution and, apparently, trafficking minors to public figures.  Greenberg told Barr’s DOJ he could implicate Gaetz in exchange for leniency, and the present investigation into Gaetz was opened.

Gaetz’s father Don was then approached by “former” DOJ attorneys and told they could make his problems go away if he gave $25 million to fund the rescue of American hostage Bob Levinson from Iran.  Bob Kent would lead the rescue mission, and the payment would appear to be for a service, rather than a bribe to prosecutors.

Seven months ago, I clipped together some videos with Gaetz and Scott Adams that go back in time through these allegations, including the infamous Tucker interview, which can be watched here.  Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska was targeted with the same scheme, down to the dollar, according to Gaetz, and he wasn’t the first.  Newsweek suggests that the Levinson ransoms had become a running joke at the FBI.

The first thing to ask is what evidence Greenberg had implicating Gaetz.  He gave the DOJ thousands of photos and videos and years of transaction records, after which Gaetz’s records were subpoenaed and witnesses brought before Congress, and we’re told the records and testimony show that Gaetz slept with a 17-year-old.

Enough of that evidence is now public to see that the case is another media ruse.  The drift of it is that there’s a history of Gaetz sending money to women he had relationships with

FROM THE ARTICLE:

Gaetz transferred funds to two of them using Venmo when he was single, and one said she saw him with a minor.

Venmo transaction records with the two adult women are shown, and the low-attention-span reader is led to believe that this shows Gaetz paying (and sleeping with) the minor, since one of them talked about a minor.

They say they were hooking, Gaetz says they were his girlfriends, and there’s nothing in the memos to indicate who’s telling the truth (nor would Greenberg’s pictures and videos).  Gaetz’s money being sent to the same women repeatedly over time suggests a long-term relationship, but the women say they were prostitutes.

Apparently there were four more women interviewed, and one of them claims she and Gaetz had relations when she was a minor.  But she “reportedly“ represented herself as an adult to Greenberg (on a website), who then introduced her to Gaetz.

Why not leave the Game in Play— still in Play? Why the F speculate and screw up a coup de grace on these fedgov slugs who got us to where we are— parasitic 100K a year and lifetime bennies on OUR nickels and dimes.

It aint over and this writer is a buffoon for supposing it is.

“Brownstoning”, honeypot traps using underage bait, stated as commonplace in the article, would explain a lot of Republican behavior in Washingtom, on the Supreme Court and elsewhere.

The FBI has been running the Blackmail Industrial Complex since Hoover. The only way to stop it is to release all the blackmail. It will destroy the political career of many politicians, including many Republicans, but the band-aid needs to be torn off.

It’s amusing that the same folks outraged by Gaetz’s banging a 17 year old — because that precious young thing simply doesn’t have the maturity to know what she’s doing — are the same ones who insist children, preteens, and under 18s are fully capable and mature enough to say I want a mastectomy, remove my reproductive organs, and give me new genitals.

this playbook is so old and tattered

it is a wonder it still works

prosecutors target a political opponent

by opening an investigation

then leaking like a sieve

run it for 1-2 years

then close without charges

but by then the damage is done

it is especially effective if salacious in nature

makes really good headlines

There is just NO bottom to the stinking barrel the democrats and their lapdog rinos won’t go to scoop as much filth as possible.
These are the corrupt Tammany Hall criminals that have been building this swamp in DC for YEARS. Don’t try to imagine how low they will go to protect it.

There is zero evidence that Gaetz had sexual relations with the 17 yr old. No texts, no pic, no venmo. All we have is the claims of admitted adult prostitutes that he did. Yet somehow, all the members of this honeypot operation failed in getting any actual direct evidence.

It didn’t happen.
