The True Story Behind Matt Gaetz’s Withdrawal – And What We Can Do About It
Representative Matt Gaetz was forced to withdraw from his nomination as Attorney General yesterday when the Daily Mail newspaper reported that four Republican senators had opposed his nomination. With only a 3-vote Republican majority for the incoming senate, that was enough opposition that the nomination would fail. The Daily Mail newspaper reports that the 4 senators who betrayed their party are Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Susan Collins (R-ME), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and John Curtis (R-UT). A reason was given for their opposition to Gaetz’s nomination, but Washington insiders are starting to talk about the real story behind the Republican opposition, and it is not what you have been told.
The official narrative is that the senators opposed Gaetz’s nomination because of an old ethics charge against him. The House Ethics Committee investigation relates to false accusations made against Gaetz in 2020 by Joel Greenberg, a man imprisoned for multiple crimes. Greenberg made salacious claims against Matt Gaetz, possibly in an attempt to get a reduced sentence for his own criminal behavior. The FBI investigated Gaetz for three years before they concluded there was no wrongdoing on Gaetz’s part. The Democrat-led House Ethics Committee has also looked into the charges and found nothing.
Ironically, these four senators are now critical of Gaetz’s alleged behavior when Biden’s cabinet is like the bar scene from the first Star Wars movie. It is a literal freak show of individuals with deviant sexual preferences and behaviors, and Lisa Murkowski voted to approve all of them. She apparently just found her conscience with the Gaetz nomination. Mitch McConnel evidently did too, and one unproven allegation was enough to cost Gaetz the position of AG.
The truth of the matter does not relate to these allegations. When the Gaetz nomination for AG was announced, the entrenched interests in DC brought up the old, unproven claims that Gaetz had dated a 17-year-old girl back in 2017 in an attempt to discredit him. You might think that if there is any truth to this, maybe Gaetz shouldn’t have been nominated to be the AG, but that thinking would be tragically naïve in today’s Washington. That is not how things work back in the DC cesspool.
The Uniparty feared Gaetz and knew they had to get rid of him. Dragging up old unproven allegations made against him by a convicted criminal and then using that as a pretext to get four Deep State senators to oppose the nomination was what it took.
This isn’t just my opinion. The truth behind the opposition to Gaetz’s nomination may be what was published in great detail on X (formerly Twitter) and the Blaze Media website. These reports alleged that the FBI planted this information about Gaetz to sabotage his nomination. These reports are credible and fit all of the facts in this case. I can’t vouch for their accuracy, but they document a compelling story. You can read the reports at the links here, and here.
If the story about FBI involvement in sabotaging the Gaetz nomination is true, it shows the weak and feckless nature of the people we entrust to run Washington, DC, and how they are controlled by the bureaucracy. I am reminded of something former CIA Director William Casey once said in 1987, “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” After all of the lies the government told during the Covid pandemic and the stolen 2020 election, Casey’s prediction might today be true. It is hard to say what is real and what is fiction in Washington DC, but one thing is obvious.
The entrenched bureaucracy that Donald Trump refers to as the Deep State is fighting back. Americans elected Trump because we want this kind of behavior to end, but the swamp will not go willingly. Senators like Lisa Murkowski need to be removed from positions of influence, and we, as Alaskans, can do something about it.
I’m sorry to keep harping about Lisa Murkowski, but it is time for the Republican Party in Alaska to wise up and find someone with MAGA credentials to run against Murkowski when she is up for election again in 4 years. Her next election is in 2028, and that might sound like a long way off, but Alaskan conservatives need to coalesce around one individual with true conservative credentials who can start campaigning and build their war chest of cash to run against the feckless idiot we have representing us back in Washington DC right now. Senator Palin has a nice ring to it. Got any better ideas?

Hopefully a second try to get rid of Ranked Choice Voting will happen before it comes time for Murkowski to get a primary challenger who can defeat her after the other two, Miller and Tshibaka, were unable to get her out.
