Now, Rudy was never friends with Trump until recent years. He knew Donald was a petty crook, looking to become equal to what we know as "a mob boss." There are no records of the two being chums before. But Rudy was brought in by the pathological presidential candidate. I believe that resulted from the two having common friends in the NYC nest of retired FBI agents.

Gaetz mistook Trump's popularity with republicans as providing a potential path for him -- Matt -- becoming president in 2024, after Donald served two terms. Even Gaetz knew that Mike Pence had almost zero chance of following Trump, unless the fat man was impeached and convicted.

Hence, both mistakenly believed that by hitching their wagons to Trump, they would benefit, financially, politically, or both. Gracious! They sure were wrong about that!

I am hoping that tonight, one of the lawyers for Gaetz buddy will release some more documents. They shouldn't wait for the next weekend, in my opinion.
