When it first came out last week that Rep. Matt Gaetz was under investigation for his sexual involvement with a 17-year-old, the Florida Republican said his travel records would exonerate him.
It is a horrible allegation, and it is a lie, Gaetz told Tucker Carlson on Fox News a week ago. The New York Times is running a story that I have traveled with a 17-year-old woman, and that is verifiably false. People can look at my travel records and see that that is not the case.
What Gaetz knewor should have knownis that there are no such public records, at least not when it comes to his private life.
There are, however, campaign filings. Among all the Matt Gaetz revelations last week was the news that the Justice Department is looking into the Florida Republicans potential use of campaign funds for personal expenses. And the reality of those campaign finance reports is that they raise more questions than they answer about these alleged scandals.

this guy is totally in denial and is in victimhood reality. Actually truth be told, they belong to the elite privilege crowd which is a ok for them to disregard common morality for pleasure, cheat, steal and lie.
