Gaetz of Hell

I have no idea if reprehensible Trump sycophant-extraordinaire congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is guilty of the charges he is being investigated for by the Department of Justice.  Mind you, that's an easy statement for me to to make because I'm not completely sure of all the things he's being investigated for in the convoluted case.  In fairness, though, I'm that sure from his bizarre tweet storm yesterday and his appearance on "Fox News" if even Matt Gaetz is sure of all the things he's being investigated for.

The best I can tell for the convoluted story that goes back several years and seems to start with others, It appears to be related the sex trafficking of a minor across state lines.  Except that Gaetz has also thrown in something about extortion by a former DOJ employee no longer in government service, so I'm not sure what could be extorted since Gaetz is being investigated from crimes by the Department of Justice, whether or not he actually is being extorted.

And I'm not sure why he would say that his father was wearing a wire to help the FBI in the claimed-extortion plot, since -- if his father was actually wearing a wire -- Matt Gaetz just blew the secret.  And whoever would have been the subject of the surveillance, if it was true, now has a pretty good idea not to say anything incriminating to Matt Gaetz's father.  Or, for that matter, not to say anything, period, to Matt Gaetz's father.

I also am not sure if Matt Gaetz understands that the investigation was started during the administration of his ethereal hero Trump until Attorney General Bill Barr's approval.  That's because Gaetz appeared to be saying things about getting a pardon from President Biden. And I'm not sure why he'd think Joe Biden would ever pardon Matt Gaetz about anything. Furthermore, I'm not sure why you'd talk about getting a pardon unless there was something to be pardonned for.

And as for things that Matt Gaetz was saying, I am no idea why when he sat down for an interview with "Fox News" host Tucker Carlson that Mr. Gaetz would tell America that Carlson had had a sexual harassment claim against him. And then claimed in front of Carlson that Carlson can confirm a private story of his. Which Carlson has since said he can't.  Though that makes Tucker Carlson a witness for Gaetz. None of which doesn't seem to be the sort of thing you want to do to a host friendly enough to invite you on as a guest -- perhaps for the last time ever.  After all, another thing I don't know is why Tucker Carlson would now ever have Matt Gaetz back on as a guest.  And for that matter, I don't know if any "Fox News" host would want to have Matt Gaetz on their show out of concern for what he might blurt out, in order to (in his mind) help himself.

And by the way, I don't know why Matt Gaetz would even go on any TV show to talk about his case or post just a single tweet, let alone a tweet storm, about the case and even make admissions about some areas of it when he is being investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice.

I don't know either why Matt Gaetz was the only member of the 435 representatives in the House (both Democrats and Republicans) who voted against a bill that increased penalties for human trafficking.  To be clear, that doesn't mean he had some nefarious reason for his solitary "no" vote or that it proves his guilt.  I just don't have a clue what such a reason would be.that was good and noble and made wonderful sense for the benefit of society that zero other congressmen saw.

.I'm sure sure, too, if his close friendship with a fellow-Florida official also under investigation by the Department of Justice for many federal crimes...including human trafficking...has any connection with his own case.  Nor do I know if his friend has any information about Matt Gaetz that he'd be willing to trade for a plea deal and better sentencing given that Gaetz as a U.S. Congressman would be a bigger target for the Department of Justice than a former Florida local official.

So, as you can see, I don't know the answer to any of this.  I don't know if Matt Gaetz is guilty of this or guilty of anything.  I don't know if Matt Gaetz is being extorted.  I just don't know what exactly going on since it's all so twisted and maniacal.  

The only thing I know for sure is that since there is, in fact, a DOJ investigation of a U.S. congressman for human trafficking, I'm glad that it's Matt Gaetz who is the one being investigated.
