I guess I shouldn't be amazed how much credibility you are willing to give Geatz
I guess I shouldn't be amazed how much credibility you are willing to give GeatzWithout context, meh
He better be able to back that up or Gaetz is going to join the defamation club along with Fox News, the pillow guy, etc. That's a very specific factual allegation.
But why give him the benefit of the doubt. Would you extend the same benefit of the doubt to Hunter Biden?Im not defending him. Theres still alot we dont know.
Well, if Gaetz had credibility to start with...
And think about it: if Gaetz is making this up, he's throwing his own father under the bus to a degree — either he turns on his own son or has to play along with the ruse.
Yep, was thinking the same thing, that this guy McGee - who is not even a public figure - would have an excellent defamation claim.
I think the elder Gaetz knows this is a lie and is wary of putting his own reputation on the line. McGee says the elder Gaetz "reached out" to him, likely to get information on the investigation of his son. I think that daddy Gaetz told his son about this conversation, and from there Gaetz concocted the entire story of extortion.
If the dad does come out and corroborate his son's story, then someone should check the phone records. If the elder Gaetz initiated the call (assuming it was a call), then it's highly unlikely he got blackmailed during the conversation.
Gaetz has always come across as a fundamentally stupid person who got where he is in life because his dad helped him. Considering the seriousness of the charges he's facing if he had a brain in his head he would shut up. Claiming he's the victim of a malicious plot isn't going to help him anymore as Trump isn't in office to pardon him.Yeah, I suspect he intends to just keep his mouth shut. It's logically what he would do having been placed in that situation by his son.
If this McGee decides to sue for defamation though, then his father would have to be deposed. That's where it would get really interesting.

Honestly, after the whole secretly adopting a teenage boy thing, the only thing that surprises me here is the word “girl”.
An organized criminal extortion seeking $25 million. That seems pretty likely. Dennis Hastert was blackmailed. He was also guilty as hell. Hard to blackmail somebody who isn’t guilty of something.
It also seems like a pretty unlikely thing to completely make up and then get away with. Made up or not it definitely doesn’t make him sound less guilty. I mean seriously why would someone make up something and say “I’m going blackmail you with this lie I just made up we both know is false. And as you’re just a powerful politician with lots of contacts, who is the golden boy of the Trump administration, there is nothing you can do about it!”
But why give him the benefit of the doubt. Would you extend the same benefit of the doubt to Hunter Biden?
Both sides? Really? I guess the seventeen year old might be guilty of horribad taste in sex partners.Theres definitely something fishy here - could be both sides that are guilty of something.
He's keeping the world safe from Marxists, so it's all good.I'm sure his district would rather have a sex trafficker then a Democrat. Another Alabama like case study
For them it is - conservatives in the US don’t have policy goals anymore, it’s just culture war centered around hating liberals. Since elected Republican officials don’t really have to deliver on anything or accomplish anything they are free to elect clowns like Gaetz, Cawthorn, and Greene.He's keeping the world safe from Marxists, so it's all good.
My thoughts also.Honestly, after the whole secretly adopting a teenage boy thing, the only thing that surprises me here is the word “girl”.
Well he came out and said there are no pictures of him with underage hookers when no one asked about underage hookers so you can bet good money there are pictures of him with underage hookers.Cant wait for the chips to fall cause this story is fucked as fuck... cant help but think that the truth is much much worse...
At this point my imagination is unable to come up with an event that would make them "give up". I mean what comes after bat shit crazy?
The instrument hasn't been devised that could measure my indifference. I was just trying to be supportive because it seemed important to you.Do you think I am happy it has come to this?
When your homies are corned with overwhelming evidence, resort to #bothsides. That the sign Gaetz is cooked.Theres definitely something fishy here - could be both sides that are guilty of something.
According to Times sources, the investigation into Gaetz is part of a broader probe into Joel Greenberg, a former Seminole County, Florida, tax collector and an acquaintance of Gaetz. Greenberg is facing charges that include child sex trafficking and pleaded not guilty. Gaetz and Greenberg have been pictured together, and Gaetz expressed support for Greenberg as tax collector.
