Gaetz bailing on Charlie Kirk and rushing to Trumps side is a flashing red warning: the swamps about to get uglier. When Trump calls, it means damage controlor worse, cover-up mode. Gaetz is no rookie; hes the chaos ambassador, the fixer for dirty deeds.
If hes showing up now, its because the Epstein files and DOJ meltdown have Trump backed into a corner, and Gaetz is gearing up to clean house or bury bodies. Watch closelythis isnt just politics. Its the unraveling of a rotten, crumbling circus thats been hiding the worst for too long.

(42,441 posts)This is a total guess ... maybe Gaetz knows something about what happened in Florida when Epstein got his first conviction? (It happened 20 years ago.)

(3,523 posts)Mainly because I don't think Patel would stay if Bongino leaves for the reasons he is saying he is.
Blondi may be the one leaving?

(106,604 posts)MAGA firebrand Matt Gaetz could pocket more than $2 million from a marijuana company in exchange for using his Trumpworld contacts, an embarrassing leak has revealed.
A photo of a document on Gaetzs laptop suggested the presidents failed pick for attorney general has been offered a lucrative contract by cannabis giant Trulieve to provide legal representation, consulting [and] administration-related guidance.
There are no details on the administration-related guidance in question, but Gaetz is close to President Donald Trump, who publicly praised the ex-congressman despite the scandals that brought down his career. The image from his laptop was leaked by the same person who posted a video on TikTok taken from the plane seat behind Gaetz earlier this week, showing him arguing with his mom on text about how to deal with Trump.

Gaetz replied, Im trying to guide him, not criticize him. Guiding DJT always includes a private and public component. I know how to do it.

I wonder if Trump would use public money to compensate Gaetz for lost income?
Alternatively, Trump needs guidance on how to beat a statutory rape charge.
