  Rumps voice on gaetz body.  Embarrassment to Florida!
context: They testified under oath that he sought a pardon.
  He denied seeking a pardon in a TV INTERVIEW. >
  
  I mean he's also denied fucking children, but nobody believes that either. >
  
  Probably eloped a year early so his wife doesn't have to testify about his relationship with those girls.  His... roommate was at the wedding too >
  
  
  His... roommate
  
  Nestor? >
  
  Nestor? He hardly knew ‘er! >
  
  And don’t call me Shirley >
  
  In the article's attached Twitter video, he has just the slimiest smile as he ramps up on saying what a liar Hutchinson is. He can lie to the media. Let's put that worm under oath and see what happens then. >
  
  The guy always looks like he just walked off of the slimiest used car lot imaginable to come to his second job as a “politician.” >
  
  He makes my skin crawl. >
  
  it's his hair. I just don't trust his hair... >
  
  Unless people like him actually face some sort of real and impactful accountability, "grilled big time" doesn't mean shit aside from a way to keep your name in the headlines. >
  
  He's a rich white conservative male. That's the grand slam of immunity in corrupt America. >
  
  On some levels, the "keeping your name in the headlines" part bothers me more.
  Rich white conservative males not facing accountability has been a thing for ages. It's not good, but it was easier to live in blissful ignorance.
  Their names constantly being in the news for being corrupt as shit hasn't. It would be different if we had some way beyond mass societal upheaval to make them face accountability but we don't. Instead we're just stressed and powerless over it. >
  
  Yeah it was definitely more peaceful before the internet and the 24 hour news cycle. Now it's all about being in your face with the loudest content 24/7/365 on every platform imaginable. No wonder people are miserable and on loads of anti-anxiety medication. >
  
  The internet is informational methamphetamine >
  
  And Fox News is informational Krokodil. >
  
  Didn’t Trump say it was acceptable to lie to the press? Lead by example if he didn’t. >
  
  Ari Melber's show is the last place I would want to be on if I were one of these people. >
  
  I remember when he was having a panel discussion with Sam Nunberg and he says to the effect “what are they going to do, arrest me?”  Ari and the other panelist were like “well, actually, that’s very likely” The look on his face that his bravado wasn’t going to save him was priceless. >
  
  Maya Wiley saved Sam Nunberg that night by convincing him to cooperate. >
  
  Thank you. Your recollection of that interview was better than mine. I couldn’t remember her name. >
  
  It’s crazy how Gaetz was never held accountable for literally sex trafficking a minor. >
  
  The DOJ won't do it. It's infuriating. 
  I was raped as a minor too. And the statute of limitations has expired. Someone said I could still report it but I see all this and think "why?" Nothing will ever happen. >
  
  This ^
  I was encouraged to report my abuser, years after the fact, so I did. He was interviewed by a detective and the report was "suspect denied the accusation, no further lines of enquiry, case closed"
  Like, I now totally understand that this long after the fact, there is zero evidence, no chance of a conviction, but the cops knew that at the time and encouraged it anyway. It was painful. >
  
  I'm really sorry that happened to you. It is DEEPLY frustrating. I get really angry about it. I admit, I get VERY sarcastic when asked about it. "Yeah, my abuser didn't take any photos or videos of his acts, go figure! And it's almost like he knew that raping a 6 year-old was wrong, because he did it in secret, and didn't even have the decency to invite any witnesses! Like, wow, if he had just taken some photos, or written down his crimes it would have helped SO MUCH but jeez, he DIDN'T, it's almost like he knew he was committing a crime or something! Weird! He COULD have done it where everyone saw but he DIDN'T and wow, that just makes it my word against his I guess, and he says he DIDN'T do it, so I guess he goes free, huh?" 
  Kavanaugh defense of "I didn't do it, she's lying because she's a hysterical woman trying to falsely accuse a man" wins again! >
  
  No idea how this guy is still not in jail >
  
  Rich white dude will vote for whatever they pay him to, and sell his access to information. >
  
  How many Democrats have sought pardons in the last 50 years? 
  Like, Democrats need to be compiling these statistics and bashing the GOP over the head with them.
  How many Democrat campaign staffers have served prison time compared to Republicans?
  What party appointed all the judges that made the Citizens United ruling that essentially legalized corporate bribery in politics?? 
  They’re so much worse than your party and you play into their messaging that Democrats are “just as bad” >
  
  yup >
  
  His answer was word salad and talking in circles. >
  
  I’m so confused about why these types of dudes keep going on Melber’s show. He’s like the only one on msnbc that gets these types of guests and they look foolish 100% of the time. 
  Remember that one dude who went on almost completely wasted? >
  
  Ari listens and he doesn't laugh at them. >
  
  Matt "public venmo transactions" Gaetz strangely hasn't faced criminal charges despite his buddy pleading guilty. Funny how that works. But I'm sure our "Justice Department" is hard at work. >
  
  he’s climbing in yo windows snatching y’all peoples up , so y’all need to hide ya wife , hide ya kids . >
  
  From what I understand, legal experts say that Trump could have issued secret pardons and the only way to know if they exist is if the person is indicted. Could Geatz have a secret pardon and that's why prosecutors didn't bother with indicting him? >
  
  I don't see how that's possible, it's the same idea as Trump saying he can declassify things with his thoughts. There has to be an official record of the action somewhere, otherwise even ex-presidents have the power to do it by just saying they did it during their time as president.
  Obama could say he declassified all of the files they found in Joe Biden's VP offices. If he can declassify with his mind, who can possibly say that he didn't? And Trump could have printed off a stack of pardons with blank names and can just fill them in whenever he wants as long as he says he did it while he was president. >
  
  Pardons are not inherently public documents.  All of the pardon paperwork, for anyone including himself, could be all signed and sealed.  There is nothing requiring them to be public until you get indicted, then you can whip it out. >
  
  Why would an innocent person ask for a pardon? >
  
  bro she was  17+1/2 >
  
  17 1/2–Ish? >
  
  And the lies continue to come trippingly off the tongue. >
  
  Weasel weasel weasel scumbag >
  
  This Herman Munster mother-fucker is a creep. >
  
  The pedophile call is coming from inside the House! >
  
  Maybe you should grill him over the child rape >
  
  He's a pathetic delusional deranged moron
  Aka gop house member >
  
  A guy like this has conflated grandiosity and accordingly would ask for a pardon as a way of over emphasizing his importance and relationship to the event, not that he had any real hand in 1/6; but if your talking about a pardon for his interstate sex trafficking ring well I can see that…. >
  
  You could tell by his response in his vocal tone change when asked directly that he is being deceitful.  To what level is unknown.  You can also tell the difference in his facial expressions and vocal changes when he needs to go “off script” such as when he suddenly claimed that he doesn’t have a copy of the agreement and doesn’t think it exists.
  For a politician I expected better lying ability >
  
  Looks like headlines have gone from using hyperbole like "destroyed", "eviscerated", and "obliterated" to phrases like "grilled big time".
  What's next? "Totally owned"? "Majorly f'd up"? >
  
  It's HuffPo. When your "journalists" work for free in exchange for "exposure", this is what you get. >
  
  Melber should have repeatedly asked him about Nestor. >
  
  I would hardly say he was grilled at all, tbh. He wasn’t even challenged on his own rhetoric leading up to the 6th, or the shit he’s said since. >
  
  I'm convinced the DOJ is working "BIG TIME" to protect the GOP from any indictments. Matt Gaetz should have already been dealt with. His buddy and co conspirator, Joel Greenberg, received 11 years. Something is terribly wrong with the DOJ. Merrick Garland needs to step down. >
  
  Doesn't matter.
  We've seen what Garland is all about. Zero charges for the political class. None at all.
  No, he's not working on secret cases that will land any day now. >
  
  SHit grin will never tell the truth. >
  
  Not only did matt "slappy" gaetz want a pardon from trump, but he wanted that pardon to cover anything!  Go slappy go!
  Edit:  /s >
  
  Honestly I'm in disgust that Ari just soft balls him...It wasn't a good interview and he didn't setup Gaetz for any fall.
  A good interviewer knows how to ask a few questions then let the guests run their mouth. Ari can't shutup.
  This crap journalism needs to be called out. >
  
  What on earth are you talking about? Ari is one of the strongest interviewers on television. Just in this interview he got Gaetz to say unequivocally that he did not seek a pardon for himself, when everyone knows through sworn testimony that he did. That’s not nothing. >
  
  He was “grilled big time.” That should do him in! Finally, some real accountability! >
  
  doesn't mean shit aside from a way to keep your name in the headlines. >
  
  He denied seeking a pardon in a TV INTERVIEW. >
  
  I loathe Matt Gaetz as much as the next guy, but this video should’ve included his full response to the question. >
  
  How is this miserable excuse for a human being still on the streets? Didn’t his buddy Joel Greenberg get caught with a bunch of fake IDs for minors they were planning to traffic across country lines? And didn’t he rat Matt out? >
  
  He tried the Trump defense. "Mike Pence was in the room with us and didn't raise any objection, so it couldn't have been that illegal". >
  
  not just big time, they was big angry and all up in his grill >
  
  Rumps voice on gaetz body.  Embarrassment to Florida! >
  
  Trash >
  
  If there is justice in the world, that prick will be behind bars someday >
  
  Herein lies the problem. He will
  Never again do an interview with someone who his staffers tell him is ‘hostile.’ 
  He was just asking questions, Matt. >
  
  This is the face of the republican "party" organizer ask the after-hours orgy party goer he will roll over on matt >
  
  Did he get slammed? >
  
  
  There were discussions about pardons for President Trump
  
  Fucker really was going to try to pardon himself. I remember a lot of discussion about that at the time, but to me that seems pretty clearly like something that should not be permitted. >
  
  Swamp was never drained. They just added more reptiles and swamp creatures! Apology to reptiles. >
  
  can’t charge a politician! >
  
  Bigly Time? Title i assume was written by a high schooler. >
  
  Whats up with Rapey McForehead's crooked smile? Is it his teeth he's insecure about? >
  
  It’s very satisfying to see Gaetz get put in hot seat. What a snake. >
  
  So pretty much the standard trump tactic of literally EVERYONE ELSE IS LYING and they are somehow coincidentally all separately confirming >
  
  I watch this lying SOB - even when he try to use the word “technically” to defense his lies! >
  
  Ari is so fucking good at what he does. >
  
  Was he really grilled "big time"!? Wow! That's a lot! Great journalism! My schadenfreude is off the charts! >
