Over the past several weeks my family and I have been victims of an organized criminal extortion involving a former DOJ official seeking $25 million while threatening to smear my name.
We have been cooperating with federal authorities in this matter…

>me think the gentlemen doth protest too much
sorry,….that is not suppose to be in the post.
Preet is pretending ignorance about how something like Gaetz being extorted could even happen.
tells me that The DOJ did this often….
This Gaetz story is going to blow the DOJ wide open…
we are learning how the DOJ prosecutors get rich.
They charge people with crimes and then extort/blackmail them to make charges go away.
going to be fun….
>My question is, what is going on with the dems trying to steal more house seats? Trying to overturn that election, now using the NYT to run a wrap up smear job on Gaetz.
>Are some middle of the road dem reps getting squeamish? Don't need to many to flip and fuck Pelosi
been thinking same thing
there are some House Dems in trouble

The Integrity Of The DOJ Is At Stake As Matt Gaetz Sting Operation Leaked To New York Times
Did U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz engage in child sex trafficking or is this another public hit job against Republicans by an agency rapidly losing the trust of the American people?
Gaetz says somebody in DOJ tipped off the Times to kill the undercover operation
Gaetz flat out rejected the claim, saying instead he was part of DOJ investigation of a DOJ employee who was extorting Gaetz for $25 million.
“Over the past several weeks my family and I have been victims of an organized criminal extortion involving a former DOJ official seeking $25 million while threatening to smear my name. We have been cooperating with federal authorities in this matter and my father has even been wearing a wire at the FBI’s direction to catch these criminals,” Gaetz claimed.”The planted leak to the New York Times tonight was intended to thwart that investigation. No part of the allegations against me are true, and the people pushing these lies are targets of the ongoing extortion investigation. I demand the DOJ immediately release the tapes, made at their direction, which implicate their former colleague in crimes against me based on false allegations,” Gaetz said.
New York Times Changes Headline
The New York Times has already modified their story.
On March 16th, Gaetz said his father received a text message demanding a meeting with a person demanding $25,000,00 for making sex trafficking allegations go away. The FBI and DOJ launched an extortion investigation. He said the extortionist was supposed to meet his father to receive the $25 million.
What’s at stake for Department of Justice?
The Department of Justice has been under fire for years after fiascos related to the investigation of political figures and false investigations led by pro-Democrat members of the agency against Republicans. The DOJ needs to come clean on the investigation and if obstruction of justice has been committed by the Times’ source then charges need to follow. They also need to come clean about the Gaetz investigation if they wish to restore the integrity of their agency.
