Does David McGee Have A Viable Lawsuit Against Gaetz For His Statements?

[SoCalDavidS]

Sounds an awful lot like the Dominion situation.

1. Seems viable to me.

[Goodheart]

2. If they're not true, sure.

[SoCalDavidS]

4. Well, If They're True, Then McGee Is In Deep Doo Doo

Extortion would obviously be enough for him to lose his law license.

3. He should sue Gaetz for $25 million

[SoCalDavidS]

5. Or $17 Million

To represent the rumored girl's age.

6. McGee Has Responded:

"If there is a tape, play the tape. There is nothing on that tape that is untoward. It is a pleasant conversation of a dad concerned about his son and the trouble his son was in."

There's no there there, which is why Gaetz blew-up the phony "investigation" before it became public it was fake.

7. Gaetz was shopping for a lawyer

could that be what this is all about? Maybe this guy turned them down.

8. Something like that, but the other way

Here's what it sounds like to me:

Gaetz was/is actually under investigation, likely tied to the idiot tax collector friend. McGee gets wind of it through leaks from his old DoJ contacts, and approaches the Gaetz soliciting legal services. The Gaetz's, sensing that the improper leak is an escape hatch from this giant crashing airplane, try to get McGee jammed up on it, with the side benefit of muddying the water with FBI involvement.

Of course, the thing that won't budge is the underlying investigation/facts of his misconduct. They're trying to switch it to DoJ misconduct through McGee, then his leak source.
