BILL BARR CANCELED AN APPEARANCE TO APPEAR WITH GAETZ BECAUSE OF PROBE

Bill Barr was aware of the ongoing sex trafficking investigation into Gaetz and took no objection to it when he was the Attorney General.

Instead, he made sure he was never seen with him in public.

According to Politico, Barr canceled an event where he was due to appear with Gaetz in the summer of 2020.

He had been scheduled to appear at a meet-and-greet with Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee but when he saw that Gaetz was also attending, he pulled out of it.

Barr has not commented on the investigation into sex trafficking that

1. Because Barr was so much more honorable than Gaetz.

It is to gag.

2. One is crafty, the other is stupid.

6. That event was before the election so Barr probably didn't want...

to be connected to another pedophile (Epstein) if trump won and he was still AG.

[Mike Nelson]

3. Yet...

... Barr appeared often with Trump!

[Hortensis]

4. I read that another, unnamed congressman's staff even routinely kept him

from being in positions where he might be photographed close to Gaetz. Gaetz's reputation was so bad everyone was waiting for it to blow up in his face.

5. imagine just how scummy you'd have to be

that even BILL FUCKING BARR avoids being seen with you

[Generic Other]

7. If Gaetz had dirt on Trump

Barr would have been more proactive.

8. From MSNBC (Rachel Maddow):

Barr Avoided Gaetz After Repeated Briefings On The Investigation: Politico - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC

Rachel Maddow shares reporting from Politico that then-Attorney General Bill Barr received multiple briefings on the investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz and actively avoided public encounters with Gaetz. Aired on 03/31/2021.

9. I wondered at the time why Gaetz didn't get

a PMoF when Trump gave one to Gym Jordan and Nunes, and now I have an answer. I thought maybe it was because.Gaetz was young. Well, he's nowhere near as young as his companions.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Agreed, a lot of things make sense now (as much as anything is during these insane times)

This guy was so guilty that he offended Barr! And is actually worse than Gym and Nunes, at least to Trump who is certainly guilty of much the same offenses...

[Haggard Celine]

11. It's unbelievable, isn't it?

All I can say is what a freak!

[Rhiannon12866]

12. He's got to be bad if he offends the most offensive people!

These truly are insane times. I heard someone on MSNBC earlier refer to Watergate as "cute!"

13. Daddy protected him all his life,

Gaetz is another one of those people suffering from affluentza. I'm wondering if this investigation would have seen the light of day had not Gaetz attacked Dick Cheney's daughter? Just speculation.

[Whiskeytide]

14. He was considering a move to Alabama in 2019 to run for ...

... US Senate against Jones.

Now it makes sense that he declined, given Roy Moore’s failure to motivate the pedophile vote here.

I’m glad he decided to stay in Fla, but we did end up with Tuberville. Dodged a pedophile, sex trafficking Тяцмрster for the stupidest man to ever hold office in the history of the world. Yea.

15. not limited to Barr, from what we are finding out

apparently other congressional republicans were consciously avoiding being seen in public with Gaetz, as they knew this dam would likely break at some point in time.

[Midnight Writer]

16. Barr was more concerned with protecting his reputation than protecting teenage girls from perverts.
