Now why would Matt Getts Off be hiring the same attorney that represented Jeffery Epstein? What a playboy. The grift knows no bounds. He's legit, yo! Suckers.
Matt Gaetz’s campaign paid $25,000 to lawyer who represented Jeffrey Epstein
The fee, for legal consulting, was paid to Manhattan criminal defense attorney Marc Fernich
Rep. Matt Gaetz’s campaign paid $25,000 in June to a Manhattan criminal defense attorney who lists Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who killed himself in prison, as a notable client, according to a filing Thursday with the Federal Election Commission.
The Florida Republican and acolyte of former president Donald Trump is under investigation for possible sex trafficking of a minor. A spokesman for Gaetz did not address the payment but touted the congressman’s fundraising haul, which totaled more than $1.3 million in the second quarter of the year.
The June payment, for legal consulting, went to the law office of Marc Fernich, whose website says he specializes in “subtle, novel and creative arguments that other attorneys may miss.”
“These arguments can make potential winners out of seemingly hopeless cases, spelling the difference between victory and defeat,” the site adds.
It lists Epstein, along with Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, the Mexican kingpin known as “El Chapo,” among his “Notable Clients.” Fernich did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The campaign also paid $25,000 for legal consulting to Zuckerman Spaeder, a large D.C.-based firm that also did not immediately respond to an inquiry.
The $1.3 million raked in by Gaetz between April and June is a sizable sum for a member of Congress under investigation by the Justice Department as well as the House Ethics Committee. He spent about $1.8 million in the same period, the filing shows, and has $1.6 million on hand.
Virtually all of Gaetz’s contributions were from individual donors rather than party committees or PACs, the filing shows. He did receive a financial boost from Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), whose reelection campaign supplied Gaetz with $3,000 last month.
“Our FEC filings speak for themselves,” said Gaetz’s spokesman, Harlan Hill. “Despite an endless stream of lies from the media, Congressman Gaetz continues to be among the most prodigious fundraisers in Congress and is the only Republican who doesn’t accept donations from federal lobbyists or PACs. He thanks his tens of thousands of donors and promises to always fight for them.”
Gaetz, who represents a conservative district in Florida’s Panhandle, has risen to prominence as a combative defender of Trump, often taking his case to cable TV. The Justice Department has been examining whether a former county tax collector, Joel Greenberg, procured women for Gaetz and whether the two men shared sexual partners, including a 17-year-old girl. Gaetz has said he never had intercourse with a 17-year-old, which is considered statutory rape in Florida.
Matt Gaetz's campaign paid $20,000 to Trump crony Roger Stone's company, which the DOJ is suing
Rep. Matt Gaetz's campaign paid $20,000 to a company that the Department of Justice alleges has been used by GOP political operative Roger Stone and his wife to avoid paying taxes.
An FEC filing also showed more than $825,000 was spent on Logan Circle Group, the public-relations firm Gaetz hired as news surfaced that he was embroiled in a federal sex-trafficking probe.
Gaetz's campaign also paid $50,000 in legal fees in June, with about half going to the law office of an attorney who represented Jeffrey Epstein, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and John Gotti.

True, that is something I hadn't given any thought too. Good point.

Matt Gaetz’s Fundraising Craters as He Finally Shuns Spotlight
While Gaetz also posted losses in the prior two quarters, his contributions were among the biggest House fundraisers. With the DOJ investigation regularly topping news reports in those months, his campaign reported donations in excess of a million dollars for both filing periods, record sums for the three-term congressman and among the highest numbers in the House. But this filing period, Gaetz placed 70th among House members in what was otherwise a banner period for his colleagues across the board.
Along with his own campaign, Gaetz’s joint fundraising account with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)—which over the summer encountered some turbulence of its own—was once again a bust. Their shared committee, Put America First, raised less than $58,000 in the third quarter, according to its filing last week, which was about 16 percent of its second quarter haul. (Much of the money they previously raised came from $300,000 transfers they each made to the joint account, which is about as much as the tour lost in total.)
However, the Gaetz campaign did spend an inordinate amount in compliance fees. It paid roughly $85,000 to one firm for campaign finance services over the last three months, far more than in any prior reporting period.
The government is reportedly investigating Gaetz’s possible misuse of campaign donations in furthering his other alleged crimes, including possibly sex trafficking a minor and an alleged illicit political influence scheme involving marijuana law which also touches a number of other Florida political figures.
Gaetz spokesperson Harlan Hill did not answer when asked multiple times if Gaetz’s campaign finance records had been subpoenaed.
Instead, Hill deflected, claiming that because “thousands of small-dollar donors support Congressman Gaetz’s campaign every quarter,” his campaign “subsequently [has] more reporting costs than our peers who take big PAC money.”
That alone does not explain Gaetz’s compliance fees though, which were abnormal not just for his campaign but among his colleagues as well. For comparison, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) outraised Gaetz by more than a million dollars last quarter, with $1.1 million coming from small-dollar donors and only $2,500 from PACs. Yet she reported roughly $8,700 in compliance-related expenses—about 10 percent of Gaetz’s total.

Matt Gaetz's ex-girlfriend testified before a grand jury on Wednesday, NBC News reported.
This marks another development in the wide-ranging federal sex-trafficking investigation into Gaetz.
Prosecutors are reportedly investigating Gaetz for three separate crimes.
Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz's ex-girlfriend testified before a federal grand jury on Wednesday, NBC News reported.
According to the report, Gaetz's ex, whose name was withheld to protect her privacy, has been talking to federal prosecutors for months about a possible deal to testify in exchange for immunity.
NBC reported on Wednesday that prosecutors are investigating three separate crimes: if Gaetz sex-trafficked the 17-year-old; if he violated the Mann Act, which prohibits the transportation of "any woman or girl for the purpose of prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose" across state lines; and if he obstructed justice.
I really hope they arrest this fucker....it just seems to go on forever
take the time needed to secure conviction.....
might feel good to see charges brought soonest, but I want professional dispassionate people running this shit. not folks running full steam with half-assed evidence

I don’t think the girlfriend testifying amounts to much. The courts don’t tend to value the testimony of children.
