This sex crime investigation begun on Gaetz by Trump's DoJ is hardcore, and him trying and failing to get Tucker Carlson to give him an alibi live on TV is to die for.
'A Fox News Media spokesperson told us: “No one with any level of authority has had conversations with Matt Gaetz for any of our platforms and we have no interest in hiring him.”'
'Gaetz is “under investigation by the FBI for various public corruption and public integrity issues” and alleges that the FBI is aware of photos depicting Gaetz in a “sexual orgy with underage prostitutes.”'
Just dumb. Reading it & the background, not so much extortion, but a lame Argo II, Grifter Bugaloo whimsy. Like, we A-Team this guy from Iran, Biden loves us, we drop your failson's name & the teen sex issues go away. Florida, so real life is naturally imitating a Hiassen plot.
"Gaetz's campaign didn't spend any money on legal fees in the 2020 cycle until July, shortly after his associate Joel Greenberg was indicted. His campaign spent $64K on legal consulting over the last 5 months of the year."
"Barr didn't want to accidentally appear anywhere with Gaetz—Barr was scheduled for a meet-&-greet w/ Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee. But DOJ canceled his appearance @ the event when they saw that Gaetz—had RSVP'd for it."
"The Times has reviewed receipts from Cash App, a mobile payments app, & Apple Pay that show payments from Mr. Gaetz and Mr. Greenberg 2 one of the women, & a payment from Mr. Greenberg to a second woman."
"#Gaetz was a member of the Florida House of Representatives when his father was also a member of the Florida Senate ... the two were often referred to as "Daddy Gaetz and Baby Gaetz." Sources said some women referred to him as "Creepy Gaetz."
It's like open secret suddenly thx @VenmoSupport, 2020-06:
"I just looked at Matt Gaetz’ venmo & he apparently knows a lot of extremely young looking women lol A lot of them are co-eds so not THAT young but yeah they’re gogo dancers and Instagram models."
"Compared with an eight-person control group, the subjects who meditated for more than thirty minutes per day experienced shallower sleep and woke up more often during the night. The more participants reported meditating, the worse their sleep became."
"Mindfulness training had an arousing effect on PSG sleep profiles ... there was a significant positive correlation between the amount of MM practice and increases in arousals/awakenings and stage 1, and decreases in SWS."
"#Meditation practitioners met an average of 4 causality criteria (mean=4.2 ±1.1 range=2–6;), with more than half (60%) meeting 4, 5, or all 6 criteria, well-exceeding the minimum cutoff of 2 that standard guidelines use to warrant further investigation."
