Mod: Gaetz, who went to law school, must realize that accepting a pardon is legally admitting guilt.1/6 Committee Has Evidence That Matt Gaetz Tried To Get Preemptive Pardon For Child Sex Trafficking (PoliticusUSAlink): The 1/6 Committee has witness testimony that Rep. Matt Gaetz sought a preemptive pardon on child sex trafficking investigation. The Washington Post reported (link):
Johnny McEntee, according to people familiar with his testimony, told investigators that Gaetz told him during a brief meeting “that they are launching an investigation into him or that there’s an investigation into him,” without specifying who was investigating Gaetz.McEntee added that Gaetz told him “he did not do anything wrong but they are trying to make his life hell, and you know, if the president could give him a pardon, that would be great.” Gaetz told McEntee that he had asked White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows for a pardon.
Asked by investigators if Gaetz’s ask for a pardon was in the context of the Justice Department investigation into whether Gaetz violated federal sex trafficking laws, McEntee replied, “I think that was the context, yes.”Even Donald Trump would not go near Gaetz and the child sex trafficking investigation. Matt Gaetz has continued to be a vocal Trump loyalist because it is possible that he needs the former president back in office to keep himself out of prison.
Innocent people don’t request preemptive pardons. It has been reported that there will be no announcement of potential charges against
Gaetz until after the midterm election, but
Matt Gaetz was working hard to get a pardon before
Trump left office because he might be swapping the
People’s House for the
Big House soon.

Raw Storylink): GOP
Rep. Matt Gaetz of
Florida is facing increased scrutiny after a bombshell
Washington Post report that he sought a preemptive pardon for sex trafficking.
"Why hasn’t Matt Gaetz been indicted yet? Because the investigation has ballooned — covering a huge web of political corruption, fraud, and embezzlement of COVID relief funds, as well as sex trafficking,"Snell wrote. "A wave of indictments is anticipated after the November election."
The watchdog group
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) wrote, "To the best of our knowledge,
Matt Gaetz is the only sitting
Congressman to ever ask for a pardon for sex trafficking."
