Summary

A hacker accessed a file containing damaging testimony about former Congressman Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general pick.

The file includes sworn statements from a woman alleging she had sex with Gaetz in 2017 when she was 17, corroborating testimony from a witness, and other evidence from a civil suit involving Gaetz ally Christopher Dorworth.

The hacked materials, which remain unpublished, also include unredacted personal information of witnesses and evidence tied to federal and congressional investigations.

The hacker’s motive remains unknown.

      The fact that he’s saying it instead of publishing is how you know he’s not for real

      Witness prolly has the very real fear of “they release it, he gets confirmed anyway, Gaetz throws the book at him.” Easy for keyboard warriors to chide this person with no consequences to themselves.

        I can’t remember exactly how it was said but, “The internet is all gas no breaks. Random strangers will hype you up and gleefully watch you ruin your life.”

      I don’t think that would have the effect within the legal system that you think it might have

        Exaclty. Blackmail only works if the target has a sense of shame, and clearly MAGAts abandones theirs long ago.

      Yeah I don’t even think they are going to do confirmations like they usually do. Trump already said he wants recess appointments and he always gets everything he wants from these idiots

    The hacker won’t release shit. Nothing will happen. Everything will continue on like normal. We’ve been hearing about damning evidence about multiple people for years now. Here we are with none of it.

    If they had it, they’d release it. There’s no extortion to be had here, no reason to delay. The only reason to have gotten it would be to release it. That they haven’t- pretty much means they haven’t got anything.

      Well it has all the info to completely dox anyone who testified against the attorney child rapist general. Magas would literally kill them where they sleep.

        Exactly.

        If the attacker stole the file with the intent to publish information against Gaetz in order to harm him, they’d need to redact anything that could allow for attacks against those testifying before releasing it.

    release it, or shut the hell up. Not that it will change anything.

    If released, I hope that the victim/witness information is redacted, unless of course this is a hack done by the Right to get the women’s names out to the cult so they can do what the cult does best. =(
