https://www.salon.com/2021/04/03/roger-stone--no-stranger-to-indictment--offers-matt-gaetz-potentially-disastrous-advice/Republican operative and pro-Trump dirty trickster Roger Stone, a man well acquainted with indictment (in his case for lying to Congress and witness tampering), is urging Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., the charismatic Trump ally now embroiled in seemingly bottomless scandal, to potentially incriminate himself further by going on "offense" and continuing to appear on cable news.
"He needs to go on offense, this is right upfront in Stone's Rules," Stone told conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on his Infowars program. "The left-wing, non-journalist, fake-news media are the most vicious, malicious, dishonest people that I have ever come across," the GOP operative continued. "All of these stories that are maligning Matt Gaetz today are based on leaks. Where is the beef? Where are the facts? I don't think there are any facts. I think this is a good old-fashioned smear." Later in the segment, Stone encouraged Gaetz to stay in the public eye, not hide in a "hole," and make additional TV appearances. "He [Matt Gaetz] should not go hide in a hole, he should be out there, like he was on Tucker [Carlson] last night," Stone added.

OP
A lot of descriptives come to mind when I think of Matt Gaetz. Charismatic isn't one of them.

I cant help but wonder if Gaetz and cronies are behind the sex trafficking Satan-worshipping qanon scam. Dont know for sure about the Satan or cannibal thing, but sex trafficking minors seems on point.
And given the roger stone connection...well, the mind just wanders.
