    If they all say it, it could be true.

    Gaetz' buddy sure better sing. He's facing more than 30 felony charges.

    He didn't just stalk the person who had the effrontery to run against him. He sent nine letters to the school where this man teaches, each purporting to be from a different student alleging sexual contact with this teacher. Police looked at them and said the language was that of an adult, not a teen, and they were all nearly word for word identical. Since they were sent through US mail, feds were called in. Our would be criminal mastermind had left his DNA and fingerprints on all the letters. So he is facing extortion and mail fraud charges on top of child sex trafficking, stalking, embezzlement, et al.

    Some people were just not cut out for a life of crime.

    Matt Gaetz 'asked Trump for a pre-emptive pardon at the time DOJ were questioning his associates about sex trafficking allegations'
    • Rep Matt Gaetz approached Donald Trump with the extraordinary request in the president's final weeks in office, the New York Times reported Tuesday
    • The Florida congressman allegedly wanted pre-emptive pardons for himself and his congressional allies for any crimes they may have committed
    • It came as Department of Justice investigators began questioning Gaetz' associates about allegations against him, the Times reported
    • The allegations revealed last week included claims that Gaetz had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Inside the Matt Gaetz/Donald Trump talks:

    "Can you grant me a pardon?"
    "For what?"
    <To self: "Don't say sex trafficking, don't say sex trafficking">
    "Uh, you know...for whatever. Liberal media, deep state, am I right?" <nervous sweat>

    Trump said Gaetz strongly denied sex trafficking. Trump also said Roy Moore strongly denied child molesting, Putin strongly denied interfering in US election, and Mohammed bin Salman strongly denied involvement in murder of Jamal Khasoggi.

    And Trump strongly denied Obama was born in the United States. He also strongly denied ever lying.

    "A former Florida tax collector linked to the Justice Department's investigation into Congressman Matt Gaetz is expected to plead guilty, lawyers in the case said in court on Thursday."
    The lawyer went on to say that he imagines the Rep. Gaez does not feel comfortable meaning that the lawyer's client, Joel Greenberg, is about to make a plea deal dooming
    Gaetz.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Gaetz Paid Accused Sex Trafficker, Who Then Venmo’d Teen

    In two late-night Venmo transactions in May 2018, Rep. Matt Gaetz sent his friend, the accused sex trafficker Joel Greenberg, $900. The next morning, over the course of eight minutes, Greenberg used the same app to send three young women varying sums of money. In total, the transactions amounted to $900.

    The memo field for the first of Gaetz’s transactions to Greenberg was titled “Test.” In the second, the Florida GOP congressman wrote “hit up ___.” But instead of a blank, Gaetz wrote a nickname for one of the recipients. (The Daily Beast is not sharing that nickname because the teenager had only turned 18 less than six months before.) When Greenberg then made his Venmo payments to these three young women, he described the money as being for “Tuition,” “School,” and “School.”

    It’s almost as if the political class in this country are sick, depraved sociopaths not worthy of governing.

    Almost as if.......?????? These are all people who couldn’t make it in the “real world” so they went into politics where anything and everything goes. They just have to be too over the top before anyone calls them out on it. Considering what we have seen in politics the past three decades, I’m actually kind of shocked that Gaetz is being pursued as hard as it appears he is......he must have seriously pissed off some powerful Republicans.....

    One of my dialysis technicians who recently graduated from med. school is from American Samoa and he tells me that all the residents there love the Rock and are very proud of him. He does seem like the kind of guy you could trust.
