Ultimately, it’s important not to let all the drama distract from the real issue here, which is that a sitting congressman seems to be under investigation for sex trafficking and has links to a guy who has already been indicted for sex trafficking.
I don’t know about you but the second scenario seems rather more plausible to me. Scenario two: there is no big conspiracy against the congressman a couple of opportunists simply pounced on the investigation against him as a way to make money. Scenario one: Gaetz did nothing wrong and is telling the truth about being the victim of a wide-ranging conspiracy orchestrated by his political rivals that kicked off when Gaetz’s buddy Trump was in power. However, there are two possible scenarios here. The bottom line? It seems plausible that Gaetz really is caught up in a bizarre extortion plot. Levinson, who is presumed dead, would be heroically rescued by Gaetz Joe Biden would be so thrilled with the rescue that he’d pardon Gaetz. The idea, dubbed “ Project Homecoming”, was that they’d use that money to locate and rescue Robert Levinson, a former FBI agent who was kidnapped in Iran back in 2007. They reportedly wrote to Don Gaetz and said that there were pictures of his son with “ child prostitutes” they would help Gaetz, however, if he gave them a large sum of money. According to the Washington Post, a couple of grifters who learned of the investigation against Gaetz decided to use the opportunity to extort the congressman’s father. Which is a weird claim considering the New York Times reports that the investigation into Gaetz, a Donald Trump loyalist, was opened in the final months of the Trump administration under then attorney general William Barr. He claims the investigation is a cover for extortion and suggested that it was linked to the “ Biden White House”. Why would someone want to do that? Well, in a statement released on Tuesday Gaetz said he and his family have “been victims of an organized criminal extortion involving a former DoJ official seeking $25m while threatening to smear my name”. “I think someone is trying to make that look criminal when it is not,” he said.
Gaetz, who is currently engaged to a woman 12 years younger than him, claimed that he used to be a “generous” partner in his single days and paid for flights and hotel rooms. Rather predictably, however, he insists that he’s actually the victim in all of this and has said “ no part of the allegations” against him are true. After the Times broke the story, Gaetz confirmed to Axios that he was under federal investigation for sexual misconduct and is worried about being criminally charged.
