Plural .. girls
Now lemme relay a story that Darrell Issa told me about “DWI douche bag Mattie” (my nickname for @mattgaetz not Issa’s) spending all his time on @Tinder during his committee assignments. All he’s ever wanted from Congress is to get rich & get laid not rep Florida

@harrylitman
The supposed DOJ official extorting Matt Gaetz was David McGee, a career guy in DOJ who served as a 1st AUSA. Not someone in a position to extort. He says, "This is a blatant attempt to distract from the fact that Gaetz is apparently about to indicted for sex trafficking girls."

While different, there are many Americans that are into that kind of stuff.

Matt Gaetz is being looked at for relationships with females that a sane male would have made an attempt to find out items, like their age.

Nothing is going on with this extortion.

No one is extorting Gaetz. Unless it's a set up to get him for paying hush money.

Seems odd he'd let it slip his father was wearing a wire. There must be a journalist out there who's asked Mr. Gaetz, Sr.

Rules for thee but not for me.

Joel Greenberg is on a truly bizarre self-destructive spiral. Maybe he’s going for an insanity defense, and Gaetz is up to his eyeballs in something disgusting.

A web of countless politicians and Uber wealthy child molesters, woven together by "departed" Epstein.

I would love to send old Geslaine? down to guantamo for extraction of some information, including names.
I am waiting for her to "hang" HERSELF.........

I truly feel this whole Epstein/pedophile thing is what Putin and Trump have on a whole big bunch of Repub Senators and Representatives. The only thing those Repubs can't absolutely and positively have exposed is them diddiling kiddies. They can get away with anything else from their constituents, except that..........The Republican party would slam into a wall.


I have racked my brain, and there is nothing else that they could possibly be blackmailed with that would cause them to be desperately total sycophants and ass lickers supporting Trump........

According to this, McGee got his law degree in 1976 and worked at the DOJ until 1996, but has been with the private law firm Beggs & Lane since then.

The point being that the chances of his using information from the DOJ 25 years later for extortion seem slim. The investigation into Gaetz is entirely separate from McGee, and bringing McGee up is just an attempt at a distraction.

Seeing how much Trump loves to brag about his predatory sexual conquests, he probably shared his experiences chasing after underage girls with his young political protege while relaxing at Mar-a-Lago. Gaetz is trying to ensnare everyone he can in this mess: Tucker Carlson, David McGee, even saying his own father wore a wire. Why not implicate Trump?
