You didn’t expect the guy to become any wiser just because he is under federal investigation, did ya? The guy is going by the Trump playbook for scandals, I don’t think it’s going to work for him.

He’s also seemingly unwilling to pay attention to the truth.

Pretty much the definition of a Trumptard.

A bribe, never. But a “donation” to a “charity” to “look” for a “missing” American in Iran, that’s a horse of a different color. These people may be dumb but they’re not stupid. They know how to crime with nudge nudges and wink winks.

I feel like the guillotine was invented specifically for this sort of thing.

Gaetz was a stupid bloviator before this investigation, he is a stupid bloviator after the investigation. Conclusion: Gaetz is a stupid bloviator.

Note how Gym Jordan and Marjorie Taylor Greene closed ranks behind Gaetz saying they believe him.

I think rule number one when you’re guilty as shit and the man is on to you is to STFU.

Especially since the missing FBI agent was declared dead last year.

OT. Seems that Bannon is too drunk to realize that everybody that gives Lindell a forum is getting sued.

It’s obvious, Gaetz is attempting to flood the zone with noise to obfuscate his activity with young girls. Simple. It’s a Trump tactic.
