Obviously, his father believed the Fbi investigation in to his son's sexual relationship with a minor was true.... otherwise he would have laughed the extortionists off....No?
The alleged extortionists are pretty scummy crooks, but it has nothing to do with Rep Gaetz alleged relationship with a minor, 20years younger than him, and possibly flying her over state lines to travel with him, and have sex with him....which is considered as a form of sex trafficking of a minor....
and which was under investigation beginning 3 to 6 months prior to the convoluted extortion attempt.
Attorney General Bill Barr would never in a million years allow this investigation to go forward, if he didn't think it was serious imo....
hey stupid,,, how long does it take to establish a known woman's age? Or whether or not she traveled with someone?
There is no known woman.
That's not what Gaetz said to Tucker. He said there was a "girlfriend" that the FBI threatened .... so she would turn on him, and he said that he had dinner with Tucker and his wife two years ago with this girl...
Tucker denied remembering anything close to what Gaetz claimed ever happened.
Ok, there is more tonight from the times..... It seems to involve prostitution and his friend Joel Greenberg, a Florida tax collector who was fired and being charged with over 20 felonies at this point that involves fraud, fake ids created for the younger girls that were stolen ids Greenberg got from people who had to turn govt ids in to the govt, to embezzlement,
And this 17 year old that was allegedly Gaetz's girlfriend, was introduced to him from his friend Joel Greenberg, and Joel slept with her too....she was basically being prostituted....She's singing like a canary, in the Greenberg case with investigators, and that's what lead them to Gaetz....
This just on the news, I have not read the new York times article on it yet, but the link is below...
The congressman and a former official in Florida sent money to the women using cash apps, receipts showed.
