Where does it say that, exactly? I read the article at the link and I don't see it.

When you go to the thread from 8/12, which no one even touched... it references this from ABC News.

Gaetz associate providing feds intel, documents as probe into congressman continues: Sources

This is lengthy article that seems to provide a bunch of evidence submitted that would make it appear that Gaetz is toast. Look at the evidence mentioned...
  • Gaetz's one-time wingman has been steadily providing information and handing over potential evidence
  • Former Seminole County tax collector Joel Greenberg, as part of his ongoing cooperation with prosecutors, has provided investigators with years of Venmo and Cash App transactions and thousands of photos and videos, as well as access to personal social media accounts, sources said.
  • Private messages exclusively reviewed by ABC News
  • ABC News has reviewed Google Voice text messages from September 2018
  • The New York Times reported in April that investigators believe it was Greenberg who initially met women through online sugar daddy websites -- which connect people who go on dates in exchange for gifts and allowances -- and then "introduced the women to Mr. Gaetz, who also had sex with them."
  • Facebook messages reviewed by ABC News paint a similar picture, showing Greenberg appearing to organize a gathering in July 2018 that included Gaetz and women

All of it was false.

The lesson is that the propaganda press loves to use fake news when it benefits them.

Please stop using OAN as a news source, the DOJ has not shut down the investigation of Gaetz. Alford has been indicted for extortion as he should be, one has not one thing to do with the other. Gaetz is still under investigation and has not been exonerated.

Stop using ABC as a news source.

According to OAN, did you notice there was no statement from the DOJ in the article.

Pick any news source in Florida, Miami Herald, Sun Sentinel, they all missed the exoneration part but if OAN says it it must be true. LOL

Just back on 8/12, there was a thread on this forum titled, and I quote "Matt Gaetz is toast!"


Nope.





https://www.oann.com/rep-matt-gaetz-...with-extortion


So it turns out that everything MAGA Republican Matt Gaetz said was completely true, and everything the Fake Liberal Media said was utterly false.


Ever get tired of Lucy and that football, Lefties?


I am sure Gaetz will now cruise to re-election, should he decide to run.



Owned again!
Stephen Alford was popped for attempted extortion. He, however, is not the only material witness against Gaetz. Joel Greenburg has been awarded a lenient plea deal for his testimony, which includes texts and Venmo receipts. Gaetz' ex-girlfriend is also testifying against him.

I was the one who started the "Gaetz is toast" thread. I'll update it when he is indicted. I doubt it will be long.

OANN, BTW, is not a great source to use if you are trying to present something as factual.
