Matt Gaetz Says The FBI Wants Americans To Engage In ‘Snitching’

As the day draws closer that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is indicted and placed on trial for allegedly engaging in the sexual trafficking of an underage girl, the pervy Mr. Gaetz is lashing out at every federal agency that’s actively investigating him and proving just how utterly terrified he is.

Such is the case with an appearance Gaetz made on Newsmax where he spouted all sorts of wild conspiracy theories about the FBI, telling hosts Steve Cortes and Jenn Pellegrino:

“When the FBI is busy trying to make us all believe that our family members and our neighbors are extremists, we missed the opportunity to actually dig into important threats, cybersecurity threats, national security threats that they should be focused on.”

Gaetz was clearly referencing a tweet sent out by the FBI over the weekend:

But to hear Gaetz tell it, the FBI is somehow overstepping their bounds as the nation’s premier law enforcement agency by asking for the public’s help in tracking down domestic terrorists:

“Let’s remember who the [FBI] building is named after, [FBI founder] J. Edgar Hoover, who would use information in a compromising way against politicians and people to be able to maintain his own power. And then you saw the FBI weaponized against elements of the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s, and now you see the FBI really becoming the enforcement wing of the Democratic Party in a lot of circumstances.”

Who appointed Hoover as head of the FBI in 1924? Republican President Calvin Coolidge. As for the assertion that the agency has become the “enforcement wing of the Democratic Party,” that’s just Gaetz and his paranoia speaking. He’s still upset that the FBI dared to investigate if failed, one-term former President Donald Trump was in bed with Russia. And he’s also worried about what’s about to come down regarding his own case from a federal court.

As if that’s not enough, Gaetz then tried to compare the United States and FBI to the former Soviet Union:

“Back during the worst days of the Soviet Union, one out of every three of the folks in that country was providing some sort of information to a centralized governing authority. Snitching really is a tool of the repressive security state, and we don’t want that to happen in our country.

“This is an effort to identify people based on their politics, and I don’t think we want an FBI that is resolving familial disputes through the lens of extremism. That seems to really take them away from an otherwise important mission.”

Rest assured, if Donald Trump was still president and the FBI was doing his bidding, Gaetz would have no problem with their tweets or their investigations.

What has Gaetz on the attack against the feds are his own legal problems, which could send him to prison for the rest of his life. Once the indictments start flying with his name on them, don’t be surprised if he bursts into tears, pisses himself, and begs for his mommy.
