RE: Matt Gaetz under investigation by DOJ?
The Bahamas trip was in Sept. 2018. The 18-year-old supposedly was born in December, 1999 (that's what Politico has said but they're still trying to confirm it). That's assuming her photo ID was legit - Gaetz better pray it wasn't fake. It's not like teenagers don't occasionally travel with fake ID's. Of course it sounds like their relationship was active in 2017 but he didn't have sex with her until she (probably) was 18. That's so big of him, considering he was 36 and a 1st-term member of the House at that point.
I'm still waiting for Republicans to stick up for him. The latest to pretty much abandon him was Steve Scalise today. I mean Donald Trump loves sticking it to the press, so after the press reported that he refused to meet with Gaetz, wouldn't it have been 4D Chess for him to then meet with Gaetz and stick up for him?
Nope, didn't happen. Obviously, I'm not a big Trump fan, but I think I'll trust his opinion on Gaetz over you yahoos.

No, the fake news got busted LYING about Gaetz trying to meet Trump and Trump turning him down. How about stop repeating the lies. This anonymous sourced piece of garbage was debunked LOUDLY by named sources who would actually know.
This has been your sides life for 5 years. Get told a lie from anonymous sources, you guys believe it, its proven false, and you guys never get over it.

RE: Matt Gaetz under investigation by DOJ?
You completely miss my point but that's to be expected I suppose when you're dealing with dunces.
If the media lied about it, then why wouldn't Trump try to get his revenge and actually meet with Gaetz and stick up for him? That would be the easiest way for him to stick it to the media.
Oh another point I forgot to mention. It doesn't matter how old she is if Gaetz is using his government credit card to pay for sex with her (or excuse me - "tuition"). He had to transfer that $900 from some account to pay for it. Venmo does a pretty good job of maintaining records in case the IRS has any questions later.

#1: Your "point" is irrelevant because it was based on a planted lie.
#2: The last thing you do strategically is to react to one-sides lie, even to counter it, as that is how you get played in the future. You also dont want to get in the mud with it.
#3: Trump and Gaetz dont need to do anything, as they have already proven its a lie.

RE: Matt Gaetz under investigation by DOJ?
Quote:When discussing the ongoing Justice Department investigation into whether Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., broke federal sex trafficking laws, MSNBC’s Joy Reid and Glenn Kirschner baselessly speculated over whether Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had involvement.
Reid and Kirschner were discussing a report from Politico Wednesday about an alleged trip to the Bahamas in 2018 involving Gaetz, GOP fundraiser Jason Pirozzolo, and former Florida state Rep. Halsey Beshears. At the time, Gaetz was a top adviser to candidate DeSantis.
“If you’re Ron DeSantis, does it feel like it’s creeping closer to you?” Reid said. “Because these are your friends, these are your allies.”
“You have to believe that DeSantis, I mean, these are his boys, these are his guys, right we’ve seen the pictures, we’ve seen the stories,” Kirschner said. “You have to believe that Ron DeSantis, if he has done anything wrong, feels like things are creeping closer and closer to him.”
Notwithstanding that the Gaetz investigation is ongoing and Democratic politicians have been eager to ignore due process, given the Florida Democratic Party already demanded his resignation, the attempt to loop DeSantis in with zero evidence whatsoever is demonstrative of the media’s disdain for the governor.
In early April, CBS’ “60 Minutes” produced a deceptively edited report on DeSantis, claiming he was involved in a pay-to-play Publix grocery store conspiracy that has been debunked on a bipartisan level. The network notably left out several minutes of footage of DeSantis denying the reporter’s narrative. They also failed to request some interviews with key figures, while intentionally leaving other interviews out. CBS’ Sharyn Alfonsi doubled down on the reporting and mocked readers last week for having objections to the conspiracy.
This latest attempt to smear DeSantis by claiming “things are creeping closer and closer” to him is telling of the frantic and conspiratorial state of corporate media.

It died when they spoke to the guy and he confirmed he asked for the $25mill. Case closed.

All of this dirt they're flinging at Republican politicians is, for the largest part, nothing more than propaganda and the libtards are either just too stupid to see or it or too disingenuous to admit it.
