No one in Trumpworld is helping Matt because he's a liability and doesn't have any dirt on them.

And he occupies the same political space of Don Jr. who aspires to a political career so Gaetz could only get in the way.

Matt Gaetz’s out of GQP character defense of Katie Hill when the news of her sex/cheating/nude photos scandal hit sure takes on a new light, huh?

Interestingly, it appears they are unlikely friends given her defense of Gaetz when the Nestor stuff first came out.  Swingers before party, I guess.

Matt Gaetz, Loyal for Years to Trump, Is Said to Have Sought a Blanket Pardon

The congressman was at the time under investigation over whether he violated sex trafficking laws, though it was unclear what he knew of the inquiry.

Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, was one of President Donald J. Trump’s most vocal allies during his term, publicly pledging loyalty and even signing a letter nominating the president for the Nobel Peace Prize.

In the final weeks of Mr. Trump’s term, Mr. Gaetz sought something in return. He privately asked the White House for blanket pre-emptive pardons for himself and unidentified congressional allies for any crimes they may have committed, according to two people told of the discussions.

Around that time, Mr. Gaetz was also publicly calling for broad pardons from Mr. Trump to thwart what he termed the “bloodlust” of their political opponents. But Justice Department investigators had begun questioning Mr. Gaetz’s associates about his conduct, including whether he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old that violated sex trafficking laws, in an inquiry that grew out of the case of an indicted associate in Florida.

It was unclear whether Mr. Gaetz or the White House knew at the time about the inquiry, or who else he sought pardons for. Mr. Gaetz did not tell White House aides that he was under investigation for potential sex trafficking violations when he made the request. But top White House lawyers and officials viewed the request for a pre-emptive pardon as a nonstarter that would set a bad precedent, the people said.

Aides told Mr. Trump of the request, though it is unclear whether Mr. Gaetz discussed the matter directly with the president. Mr. Trump ultimately pardoned dozens of allies and others in the final months of his presidency, highlighting his willingness to wield his power to help close supporters and lash out against the criminal justice system.

In recent days, some Trump associates have speculated that Mr. Gaetz’s request for a group pardon was an attempt to camouflage his own potential criminal exposure.

Either way, Mr. Gaetz’s appeal to the Trump White House shows how the third-term congressman sought to leverage an unlikely presidential relationship he had spent years cultivating.

He still lives under the fantasy that extortion is wayyyy worse than child sex trafficking - and he believes that trumpworld will still take his side on that. 

 

He's gonna go down in flames and it's gonna be glorious.

High school aged me was too busy staring at that ass to pay attention to any jackets or sunglasses.  If only I had known that I just needed to be in the right park at the right time, I would've been a fucking nature lover.

Almost as if he knew he was guilty of SOMETHING and assiduously cultivated his relationship with Trump with the end goal of a pardon in mind. Almost.

"Hey President Trump, given all of the craziness and lies of the Dems, you should give us all a blanket pardon for anything we've done in the last few years. Let's not worry about listing the crimes. not that I need it but I'm cool if you include me."

given that this investigation started with Barr, there must be some evidence or strong accusation against Gaetz. I assume that a congressman isn't part of a DOJ investigation with the awareness and perhaps ok from senior DOJ officials, if not the AG themselves.

Rumors are that January 6th's riot is one of the reason why Trump backed off so many expected pardons. He and the right were catching too much heat and didn't want to add pardons to the mix. If Jan 6th hadn't occurred, many of these Trump loyalists could be sitting around with a pardon in the pocket.

The reason trump didn’t pardon assholes like Matty Gaetz and Kenny Paxton was because Trump found out he couldn’t pardon himself and those assholes hadn’t paid him nearly enough money so he said fuck ‘em. If I don’t get a pardon neither do they.

I don't know what's worse Matt.....statutory rape across state lines, or you weren't erudite enough to long-game Trump into the corner in which you needed him.  

When the King of Stupid bests you at every turn, could be time to hang 'em up and take your licks.

Here's the dish on Diamond and Silk. They're hawking their book, Uprising, and they have a new website: ChatDit.com. They are not down with Mike Pence (see tweet)

Buuut, they are fine with chatting with Scott Walker (on Pence's Advisory Board)

They are also giving the My Pillow guy some love:

and are doing the whole 'aaaack! Money being spent on things to help people.'

He grew up in Seaside and actually lived in the “Truman Show” house.

I’m about convinced Gaetz doesn’t even exist and he’s some kind of hologram simulation.

I think the point about Gaetz POSSIBLY being a competitor to Donald Jr. is a salient one.

A competitor at what?  Age inappropriate sexual relationships?  Who can consume an 8-ball faster?  

Don, Jr. and Gaetz have one thing in common.  They're both sons with fathers who have no idea the names of their own grandchildren.

A presidential primary race between two of the skeeziest sleazebags in politics really would cement the GOP's reputation as nothing more than basket of deplorables, but it sure would be entertaining (and disheartening and disgusting).

Has anything in the last five years shown they will ever be punished for anything?  Hell, Cruz and Hawley walked away scot free after doing their part to overthrow the government.  No one even mentions their shit any more, like it never happened.
