Matt Gaetz Thread

If he wasn't fucked before he's definately fucked now. I remember reading in one of the articles that there was a plan that landed that had chicks so damn young on it the customs agent held them thinking they were being trafficked. I'm wondering if she was one of them.

They're all scrambling for cover now. Everybody is knifing each other in the back over this shit. Once again they're all in on it its just going to come down to which one of them is left without a chair when the music stops.
 
So now they're throwing obstruction into the mix.


What's more, turns out they were wrong about the girl cooperating with the investigation. Again.

Last month, CNN reported that federal authorities had secured the ex-girlfriend's cooperation in the probe but the sources who spoke to CNN at the time would not say if she had entered into a formal cooperation agreement. A person familiar with the matter said Wednesday that she had not yet spoken to investigators and a formal agreement was still not in place.​
So that whole thing has been going nowhere all along.

I can only guess that this article is a tactic to scare the girl into playing ball.
 
The media needs to get its shit together. They haven't gotten a fucking thing right in years. There's always a source that says some shit that turns out not to be true at all. It's fucking ridiculous.
 
That's the big problem with "anonymous sources". They're unreliable most of the time. More times than not, it's not someone that says what they say because they're in danger or could lose their jobs. Normally, it's always someone that wants the media to report exactly what they say to influence public opinion.

That's why right now we have half the nation really upset that nobody from the most corrupt administration in history has been held accountable for their actions. The media makes it appear that arrests are imminent, that investigations are moving right along when the truth is nothing is being done, there are no deals in place and investigations, if they were actually happening at all, are now at a standstill.
 
I'm beginning to think it's all just bullshit. No way it takes that damn long to prove that corrupt fucker is corrupt. People all around him going to jail and making deals and still nothing? He's buying his way out of it.

More details are coming to light into a potential obstruction of justice investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).

CNN's Paula Reid on Thursday reported the potential obstruction of justice investigation "heightens the legal jeopardy for the congressman. If he or any of his associates had tried to influence witness in this case, that's a federal crime — that could mean jail time."

"And what's so interesting is in our reporting we learned that investigators have been concerned about possible obstruction in this case, pretty much since the investigation into Congressman Gaetz began at the end of the Trump administration," she explained.

She said there are two incidents under investigation, one of which occurred in the first week of October and a second incident that allegedly occurred over the phone.

Correct me if I am wrong but don't they really just have to prove contact? The problem though is if someone says they did it without gaetz's knowledge then only the contacts gets charged?

It's far more than that.

They would have to prove that Gaetz, or someone on his behalf, instructed or offered a bribe or something to not talk to the authorities.

Let's say it's you and me and the cops are wanting you to cooperate. I call you to ask how you are holding up. We talk a bit and that's it. I never offer you a thing, I only ask how you're doing and apologize for the crap I did that dragged you into it all.

That's not obstruction at all even though it is contact.

But if during that conversation I say something like, "If you talk bad things can happen to you or your family" or "keep your mouth shut and there's 6 figures in it for you" then that is obstruction.

Simple contact with someone is nothing at all.

The problem though is if someone says they did it without gaetz's knowledge then only the contacts gets charged?
That's not obstruction either. Not wanting to cooperate with police is not a crime.

Example, and this is actually possible: The girl is already embarrassed about the entire thing. Even though she did nothing illegal, she doesn't want to testify against Gaetz because she's going to be made out to be a whore in court. And she would be right.

And there's a very, very good chance that's exactly why she doesn't want to cooperate. If she does, her name becomes public. Her reputation could easily be ruined.

Now, they could COMPELL her to talk, but she could and probably would simply plead the 5th.

That's why I think this entire story is crap. I think I'm totally right in that she doesn't want her reputation ruined and she's done nothing wrong so she's not wanting to get involved. So they've cooked up all kinds of crap about her and "leaked" it to the press to put pressure on her to turn state's evidence.

And it isn't working.

I don't know man. Remember how the Mueller thing just kept going and going and fucking going and people were getting pissed and then all of a sudden people started getting arrested and charged hand over fist? I forget who it was that said it back then but somebody said that every time Mueller investigated one guy two more guys were uncovered that had to be investigated. Maybe that's sort of what's happening with Gaetz. Every time they think they've got the end in sight some other bullshit gets uncovered.
