When Trump is silent about some controversy...?

..such as the Matt Gaetz scandal, it means he is usually involved in it. Silence is complicity.

He has even been silent about Liz Cheney, as far as I can tell.

He does not want to draw attention to the scandal.

Otherwise, he is sticking his nose into every little controversy or scandal that pops up.

He never talks about his darker connections.

I will not be surprised.

1. I'm thinking Don Jr. is somehow involved in this, whether peripherally or integrally.

Apparently there’s infighting and all the sharks surrounding him are all eating each other up trying to out shark each other. They are using him to make money.

3. Frankly I think the Cheney's drew Gaetz out and into this

Someone got to Trump and advised him to let it go. Trump has no problem dropping used material like Gaetz like he’s a hot rock.

Your's is the second reference to this I've seen this morning, kentuck, but I can't find anything further about it.

Last I heard, Don Jr was unsuccessful in trying to get Wyoming GOP to repudiate Cheney. Is there more to it?

7. Gaetz made a trip to Wyoming, at Trump's request, to attack Liz Cheney...

He probably would not have done it if not asked by Trump?

Obviously has a close connection to Mr Trump.
