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The hacked materials, which remain unpublished, also include unredacted personal information of witnesses and evidence tied to federal and congressional investigations.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

      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

      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.

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

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

    Let it have reach and traction in a way it can’t be ignored, can’t be doubted.

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

    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.

    Gaetz would have been around 35 at the time.

    With all the shitty news out there, I’m begging the hackers to throw us a bone and release the files. I mean c’mon … were dying here.

    An amazing number of “secure links” sure turn out to not be that. Damn humans.
