PizzaGaetz was a good pun and legal FloodGaetz would be be an even better one after today, because that is what has opened up for Matt Gaetz and it’s not going to get any better. There’s too much dirt and it was being swept under the carpet way too long ago. The fact that Bill Barr avoided going to any events where Gaetz was, because God forbid they might be photographed together, tells you everything you need to know right there.
The latest chapter in the saga of the third-term congressman from Hell, is that Gaetz asked Donald Trump for a blanket pardon in his last days in office. New York Times:
Two weeks after Mr. Trump lost re-election, Mr. Gaetz called on him to “pardon everyone” before he left office or they would be targeted by the “radical left.”
“He should pardon the Thanksgiving turkey,” Mr. Gaetz said of Mr. Trump on Fox News. “He should pardon everyone from himself to his administration officials to Joe Exotic if he has to,” Mr. Gaetz added, referring to the gun-toting zoo owner in the Netflix series “Tiger King” who was convicted in a murder-for-hire plot.
Mr. Gaetz added: “You see from the radical left a bloodlust that will only be quenched if they come after the people who worked so hard to animate the Trump administration with the policies and the vigor and the effectiveness that delivered for the American people.” He later tweeted the clip.
Shortly after Mr. Trump left office, Mr. Gaetz publicly floated the idea of quitting Congress to defend Mr. Trump in impeachment, but Mr. Trump’s advisers showed no interest.
Since the existence of the investigation was publicly revealed last week, Mr. Trump and his close allies have mostly remained silent. Mr. Trump’s advisers have urged him to stay quiet and sought to distance the former president from Mr. Gaetz.
Though Mr. Trump wielded his clemency power in self-serving ways unlike any other president, a blanket pardon for Mr. Gaetz would have stood out because it failed to specify the crimes being pardoned and lacked the “public healing” justifications for rare such past exercises of the pardon authority, said Jack Goldsmith, a Harvard Law School professor who tracked Mr. Trump’s pardons.
“If Trump had granted it, which he didn’t,” Mr. Goldsmith said, “the pardon would have on some dimensions been the most audacious of his many audacious pardons.”
Matt Gaetz is a 38-year-old child in an adult body. He was born to privilege, he’s never worked a day in his life or faced consequences — so it’s a natural that he thinks the world of Trump and vice versa, peas in a pod, all that. For whatever reason, Trump didn’t go out on that particular limb and pardon Gaetz, and Trump has stayed silent about Gaetz. It makes you wonder what the next shoe is that’s about to drop, doesn’t it?
Ursula – thank you for getting the web page straightened out. It is no longer jumping around erratically. I can now read it easily.
One small step for the marketing people, one giant leap for PolitiZoom. What I found out is that it was a simple fix. The ads refresh every thirty seconds and what was happening before is the space would collapse and then fill with the new ad — hence, the crazy bounce. So what they did is fix that so the space stays open and the new ad fills it — and no bounce. I am so pleased. :))
Thank you! It makes it much easier to read now!
