Things are not going well for Gaetz.
1)
The federal investigation is becoming a sweeping probe of central Florida politics.
Considering we're talking about rich white men, I don't know how much damage these
criminal felony theft whoopsy daisy mistakes will cost him, but everyone on this site has a basic idea how "flanking" works. Even a smaller investigation adding to the much larger first is a distraction, and could cause damage Gaetz isn't ready to handle.
2) There's talk now of witnesses, plural. Most likely the second is Ellicott, whose name has come up before.
3)
FOX News is no longer returning Gaetz's calls.
4) It might be because
Gaetz is claiming the FBI started the Jan 6th attacks.
Let me take a second to go over how catastrophically
stupid this is. Even if this was true, which no it wasn't, but even if it was,
Trump ran the FBI. Yeah yeah "deep state" but that would
still mean Trump was incompetent. It would mean that Trump, who ran on the promise of Draining the Swamp, made it all the way to four years and couldn't even keep a department he directly controlled from getting him
impeached.
5) Gaetz's former employees
are scrubbing his name from their resumes as they flee from even the barest shadow of his tainted history.
6) Multiple sources are now saying Gaetz could be charged as soon as July. If that sounds fast, check the above links. They're all from the last week.
