Feds Investigating Matt Gaetz Travel With Women To Bahamas | All In | MSNBC

Here to help. >>> ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER CRAZY Here to help. >>> ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER CRAZY REPORT ABOUT CONGRESSMAN MATT GAETZ. A LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORTS FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS ARE LOOKING INTO HIS TRAVEL IN THE BAHAMAS WITH WOMEN AND SPECIFICALLY WHETHER THOSE WOMEN WERE PAID TO TRAVEL FOR SEX, WHICH COULD VIOLATE FEDERAL LAW. ACCORDING TO "CBS NEWS", GATES ALLEGEDLY TRAVELED WITH A MARIJUANA ENTREPRENEUR AND HAND SURGEON JASON PIROZZOLO WHO ALLEGEDLY PAID FOR TRAVEL EXPENSES AND FEMALE ESCORTS. HE DID NOT RESPOND TO REQUESTS FOR COMMENT. "CBS NEWS" IS REPORTING INVESTIGATORS WANT TO KNOW IF HE WAS ACCEPTING PAID ESCORTS IN WAS ACCEPTING PAID ESCORTS IN EXCHANGE FOR POLITICAL ACCESS TO LEGISLATIVE FAVORS. GOETZ DENIES AND REPRESENTATIVE GAETZ NEVER PAID FOR SEX OR HAD SEX WITH AN UNDERAGED GIRL. WHAT BEGAN WITH BLARING HEADLINES ABOUT SEX TRAFFICING HAS TURNED INTO A GENERAL FISHING EXERCISE ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS WITH CONSENTING ADULTS. MATT GAETZ IS NOT A PLUCKY YOUNG GUY. HE IS THE SON OF A FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE FLORIDA SENATE WHOSE CONNECTIONS AND DEEP POCKETS HELPED HIS SON BECOME A STATE SENATOR AND A MEMBER OF CONGRESS. HE WAS CHARGED WITH DUI AFTER GETTING PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING IN HIS DADDY’S BMW. HE REFUSED A BREATHALYZER TEST AND THE CHARGES WERE SUDDENLY DROPPED. HE COASTED ON PRIVILEGE. IT’S NO SURPRISE HE HUNG ON TO DONALD TRUMP. WHEN HE WAS QUESTIONED LAST YEAR, "NEW YORK TIMES" SAYS HE SOUGHT A BLANKET PARDON. IT’S NOT CLEAR. HE DIDN’T GET A PARDON. AFTER A LONG DELAY, TRUMP CAME OUT WITH A BRIEF CAREFULLY-WORDED STATEMENT CLAIMING THE CONGRESSMAN DIRECTLY NEVER ASKED HIM FOR A PARDON. ADDING THAT HE HAS TOTALLY DENIED THE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST HIM. IT’S ONE OF THE MOST DAMMING THING DONALD TRUMP CAN SAY ABOUT A PERSON. REMEMBER ROY MOORE ACCUSED OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT, HE DENIED THOSE ALLEGATIONS, BUT THEY LIKELY CAUSED THE REPUBLICANS THE SENATE SEAT. HERE’S WHAT TRUMP SAID AT THE TIME. >> WELL, HE DENIES IT. LOOK, HE DENIES IT. I MEAN, HE TOTALLY DENIES IT. HE SAYS IT DIDN’T HAPPEN AND YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO HIM ALSO. >> WHAT ABOUT VLADIMIR PUTIN WHERE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES SAY MEDDLED IN ELECTIONS WITH DONALD TRUMP. >> PRESIDENT PUTIN. HE SAID IT’S NOT RUSSIA. I WILL SAY THIS, I DON’T SEE ANY REASON WHY IT WOULD BE. PRESIDENT PUTIN WAS EXTREMELY STRONG AND POWERFUL IN HIS DENIAL TODAY. >> AND THERE IS SAUDI PRINCE CROWN BRITAIN MOHAMMED BIN AL SALMAN WHO REPORTS SAY HE APPROVED TO CAPTURE AND KILL JOURNALIST KHASHOGGI. >> THE DENIAL WAS VERY STRONG. IT WASN’T LIKE THERE WAS A QUESTION IN HIS MIND. THE DENIAL WAS VERY, VERY STRONG. THE DENIAL WAS NOT ONLY A DENIAL, THAT WAS A VERY FIRM DENIAL. >> ROY MOORE, GAETZ, MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN, PUTIN, THEY ALL DENIED IT. CASE CLOSED. FOR LATEST, I AM JOINED BY SCOTT MAX MAXWELL WHO HAS BEEN RIGHTING ABOUT MATT GAETZ AND HIS ROOTS. I WONDER HOW THIS PLAYS IN FLORIDA, WHERE HE AND HIS FATHER WERE EXTREMELY KNOWN ENTITIES. >> YEAH, THEY R. BACK IN FLORIDA DON GAETZ IS RESPECTED AND MATT GAETZ WAS KNOWN AS BABY GAETZ. MOST IS PAR FOR THE COURSE. IN FACT, ONE OF THE THINGS I HAVE BEEN WRITING ABOUT LATELY IS THERE IS THIS SORT OF FAME SHOCK AND AWE AMONG PARTICULARLY REPUBLICANS WHO SEEM TO ACT LIKE THEY ARE SURPRISED BY THIS STUFF WITH MATT GAETZ. I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CURRENT ALLEGATIONS, THEY STILL HAVE YET TO PLAY OUT. BUT THERE IS PLENTY THAT HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY PROVEN ABOUT HIS BEHAVIOR IN THE PAST WIDELY OPENED. FOLKS DOWN HERE DIDN’T SEEM TO CARE UNTIL NOW WHEN IT WAS A POLITICAL LIABILITY. >> SAY MORE ABOUT THAT WHAT DO YOU MEAN? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, JUST TO GIVE YOU ONE EXAMPLE. ONE OF THE REASONS WE FOLLOWED HIM IN ORLANDO, IT WASN’T SEXTING. HE WAS INVOLVED IN STOPPING THE AIRPORT TO THE POINT WHO TRIED -- THESE NO BID LEGAL CONTRACTS. THAT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE SOMETHING YOUR VIEWERS CARE ABOUT. THAT IS ORLANDO’S SWAMP AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR VIEWERS IN EVERY TOWN IN AMERICA MAY HAVE THEIR OWN SWAMPS. WHILE HE WAS UP THERE SCREAMING ABOUT DRAINING THE SWAMP IN WASHINGTON. HE WAS TRYING TO PULL THE SLEDGE HERE. IN FACT. , ONE OF THOSE BOARD MEMBERS THAT HE HELPED, HE WAS BUDDIES WITH, APPOINTED THE ONE YOU MENTIONED AT THE TOP OF THE BLOCK, WHO IS BEING INVESTIGATED FOR TAKING A FLIGHT TO THE BAHAMAS WITH. ALL OF THIS FEED TOGETHER. THERE WERE LOTS OF INVESTIGATIONS. BUT MOST OF THE TIME WHEN MATT GOT CORNERED, HE WOULD START SCREAMING ABOUT ANTIFA OR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS. IT WAS RED MEAT FOR THE CROWD THAT WOULD END UP SUPPORTING HIM. >> CONGRESSMEN HAVE ALL KIND OF CONNECTION. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE HAND SURGEON AND MARIJUANA ENTREPRENEUR MR. PIROZZOLO. >> I HAVE E-MAILS FROM THEM FROM TWO YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY MATT AND I DON’T KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED TRIED TO MAKE THE DOCTOR FLORIDA’S SURGEON GENERAL EVEN THOUGH HIS EXPERTISE SEEMED TO BE MEDICAL MARIJUANA AT THE TIME THAT ONE DIDN’T PAN OUT. AS A CONSOLATION PRIZE, HE GOT TO BE A MEMBER OF THE ORLANDO AIRPORT BOARD AND CONTROL ABOUT $2 BILLION WORTH OF CONTRACTS. >> SO IT’S ESTABLISHED. THESE GUYS HAVE A RELATIONSHIP. THERE IS SOME ASSOCIATION BETWEEN THE TWO. IT’S A MATTER OF RECORD. THE QUESTION OF THE ALLEGATIONS, THEMSELVES, BEING DISTINCT. WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS THERE IS A CONNECTION THERE? >> OH, THERE IS DEFINITELY. I CAN SHARE MY E-MAILS WITH YOU. I’VE SWAPPED NOTES WITH BOTH OF THEM ABOUT THIS AND THEY DIDN’T DENY THAT. THAT’S THE THING, CHRIS, A LOT OF THIS STUFF HAS BEEN OPENED. THE SHOCK ABOUT THE SEX GAMES AND THE TALK, WELL, MORE THAN A YEAR AGO ONE OF HIS FORMER LEGISLATORS CAME OUT AND ACCUSED AND SAID GAETZ CREATED A SEX GAME IN THE LEGISLATOR, A YOUNG MALE SCORED POINTS BASED ON HOW MANY POINTS THEY COULD SLEEP WITH. THE ACCUSATION IS THEY GOT FEWER AMOUNTS AND POINTS FOR SLEEPING WITH LOBBYISTS, THE MOST WITH SAY ANOTHER MARRIED LEGISLATOR. THIS HAS BEEN OUT FOR A YEAR. THERE IS SUDDENLY PEOPLE WHO SEEM TO BE SURPRISED AND INTERESTED IN IT. BUT IT’S BEEN REPORTED DOWN HERE FOR QUITE A WHILE.
