BREAKING: Matt Gaetz just bailed on his Charlie Kirk gig and is hustling to D.C. at Trump's request.

** Speculative thread from tweeter

BREAKING: Matt Gaetz just bailed on his Charlie Kirk gig and is hustling to D.C. at Trump’s request.

If the Florida firebrand’s being summoned, something’s brewing in the swamp, watch this space.

Gaetz bailing on Charlie Kirk and rushing to Trump’s side is a flashing red warning: the swamp’s about to get uglier. When Trump calls, it means damage control—or worse, cover-up mode. Gaetz is no rookie; he’s the chaos ambassador, the fixer for dirty deeds.

If he’s showing up now, it’s because the Epstein files and DOJ meltdown have Trump backed into a corner, and Gaetz is gearing up to clean house or bury bodies. Watch closely—this isn’t just politics. It’s the unraveling of a rotten, crumbling circus that’s been hiding the worst for too long.

Because then he won’t have to go through Senate confirmation hearings.

For the Epstein Army. What say you, MAGA? Are ya’ll genuinely anti young girl rape, or just praying the files only expose Dems? We are under full control by Florida criminal and their freaks, and Fox liars.

This is a total guess ... maybe Gaetz knows something about what happened in Florida when Epstein got his first conviction? (It happened 20 years ago.)

As deputy director of the FBI. He needs someone there as an expert on cover-ups.

Mainly because I don't think Patel would stay if Bongino leaves for the reasons he is saying he is.

Blondi may be the one leaving?

Matt Gaetz Accidentally Reveals Lucrative Trump-Whispering Weed Deal

MAGA firebrand Matt Gaetz could pocket more than $2 million from a marijuana company in exchange for using his Trumpworld contacts, an embarrassing leak has revealed.

A photo of a document on Gaetz’s laptop suggested the president’s failed pick for attorney general has been offered a lucrative contract by cannabis giant Trulieve to provide “legal representation, consulting [and] administration-related guidance.”

There are no details on the “administration-related guidance” in question, but Gaetz is close to President Donald Trump, who publicly praised the ex-congressman despite the scandals that brought down his career. The image from his laptop was leaked by the same person who posted a video on TikTok taken from the plane seat behind Gaetz earlier this week, showing him arguing with his mom on text about how to deal with Trump.
.,..
Gaetz replied, “I’m trying to guide him, not criticize him. Guiding DJT always includes a private and public component. I know how to do it.”

I wonder if Trump would use public money to compensate Gaetz for lost income?

Alternatively, Trump needs guidance on how to beat a statutory rape charge.
