Washington — The Justice Department has formally decided not to charge Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida in relation to a sex trafficking investigation, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News, with career federal prosecutors informing witnesses of the decision on Wednesday.
The four-term congressman has been under investigation for several years to determine if he violated sex trafficking laws and obstructed justice in that probe. Gaetz has previously denied all wrongdoing, and said he has never paid for sex nor had sex with an underage girl. CNN first reported that the department had decided against charging Gaetz.

Der Gestapo has decided to let Matt Gaetz to remain free for the present time until more trumped up charges can be finalized.
Careful Mr. Gaetz, our Ministry of Communist Justice is not done with you yet!

Now how does he get back his good name? This was a hit job to smear him from the beginning.

The liars will continue to repeat the lies.
The lemmings will nod sagely acting like they know something.
As for the truth, neither the liars nor the lemmings care about that.

Poster #1 - - you must be a mind reader. I was going to post that exact thought.
The commies are not done persecuting Matt Gaetz - - or anyone else who opposes their warped, degenerate priorities. They'll think of something else - - no doubt about it.

Heck, even the Reps like to get at Matt. I was channel surfing the other day and caught a couple minutes of some GOP function/roast with Rep/ Nancy Mace on the dais. She said something like "Matt Gaetz isn't able to be with us tonight. He couldn't get a babysitter. As a date."
Which is a funny line, by the way. But it's also incoming fire.

If Garland's Goons can't make anything stick, he must be clean indeed.

We can always tell who the genuine conservative fighters are - when camera is on or off. They are the ones with a target on their back. The Democrats don’t go after the talking wonders who have no intention of truly taking ground for our side.

So, that means he's *innocent*, right? No indictment, no trial, no verdict, therefore presumed innocent. CBS "journalists" would get teeth pulled without Novocain rather they would say that about a conservative.

This was a total fraud from the beginning, and even these crooks know that they can't get away with this fraud.

Nothing more than a smear campaign. Advice, FBI lies and is corrupt. Don't put your money on them.

Jim Jordan is another very effective speaker for the Republicans and scares the hell out of the crooked Dems. Makes me wonder what kind of lying attacks they're planning for him and when will they sneak their 'report' to their media lapdogs?

Meanwhile, by not closing our southern border, our “president” is engaged in sex trafficking 24/7/365. As is the entire DOJ and the demonrats in congress.

The liberal press made this into a story to get the information out there one more time.

Matt Gaetz is true MAGA. He was the leader of the magnificent 5 that negotiated the new House rules. The FIB lies. This was purely political.

The democrats play a game of "blood sport"...known as dirty politics ....their twisted little lives are so pathetic that they go after anyone with the strength to fight back....and Gaetz did that....he and his family fought back...and they won...for now...I imagine the perps in the White House war room in the White House will be drumming up more...soon...

Posters #1 and #6 all three of us must be mind readers because I thought the same thing when I read the headline. The FJB Department of Just Us under the leadership of that evil Keebler Elf Merrick Garland isn't done with Congressman Gaetz yet. He's made the Brandon regime, their allies at the Capitol and their RINO butt kissers masquerading as the opposition party look like the fools they are. They are going to try something else to get him. Rest assured.

The objective was to ruin his reputation. It didn’t work so they dropped it.

I don't understand why "Team Mitch" and Kevin haven't called those reprobates on Capitol Hill to task with their real proclivities...Oh wait, never mind...
