Rep. Matt Gaetz exonerated, Fla. developer charged with extortion

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) has been exonerated and the Department of Justice’s sex trafficking investigation has been shut down as the man who made the false allegations is now behind bars. Florida developer and convicted fraud, Stephen Alford, faced a judge on Tuesday after he was indicted for extortion.

According to a newly unsealed indictment, the 62-year-old spread lies about Gaetz as part of a complex scheme to defraud Gaetz’s father of $25 million.

“Alford is alleged to have been involved in a scheme to obtain money based upon false promises or guarantees he made to the victim that Alford could deliver a presidential pardon for a family member of the victim,” said the Justice Department in a statement.

The Leftist propaganda machine has been referring to Gaetz as a sex offender/pedophile for some time. I wonder when they’ll issue their retractions and/or corrections?

I remember some of the FR members who believed this nonsense.
One of the big reasons its hard to attract good conservatives to politics is they KNOW they will be targeted for termination by the Uniparty.

It’s not that I believed it. I reserved judgment. But I did think that the defense sounded bizarre and implausible. Turned out to be true

I remember too. There is always that group quick to believe the worst about someone even though we have seen this happen over and over and over for years. Attacking the reputation of conservatives with false accusations is right out of the dem (and communist) playbook. And even when they were shown to be innocent they *might* put a little correction somewhere buried in their publication, or ignore it all together.

I hope he files multiple lawsuits against the lamestream media outlets that colluded in damaging his reputation.

What you see here is the ONLY mention in any media you’re likely to see. The story is “too good” for the MSM to let go.
