Gaetz sought blanket pardon from Trump White House: report
By Tal Axelrod - 04/06/21 08:31 PM EDT

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) reportedly sought a blanket preemptive pardon from the White House during the final weeks of President Trump's administration, a revelation that comes as the lawmaker finds himself the subject of a federal sex trafficking investigation.

Gaetz asked Trump for a pardon for him and unidentified congressional allies, two people familiar with the discussion told The New York Times. The conversation came at roughly the same time that Gaetz publicly called for Trump to pardon GOP allies and as the Justice Department investigated the Florida Republican over an alleged relationship with a 17-year-old that violated sex trafficking laws.

It was not immediately clear if Gaetz was aware of the federal inquiry when he asked for a pardon, according to the Times. The request from Gaetz was communicated to a Trump aide, and it was also not clear if Gaetz requested a pardon directly with the then-president, the newspaper reported.

So...people who have come forward to be named say Gaetz was being extorted for $25 Million to lobby Iran for the release of a dead hostage, while "two people familiar with the discussion" claim Gaitz wanted a "blanket pardon" (Whatever the heck that means).

Yeah, it's The Hill.

If it weren’t for anonymous sources The Hill would have no sources at all.

ANY President that gives ANYONE a "blanket pardon" is a fool.

Specific pardons for specific known crimes is one thing,a blanket pardon for anything they have ever done is something else.

Trump: Hey, Gaetz Never Asked Me For A Pardon

Quote
Technically, no one suggested he did, but nevertheless Donald Trump felt compelled to respond to the New York Times and ABC reports. In a statement released to the media, Trump insisted that Matt Gaetz never personally approached him for a pardon, “blanket” or otherwise. Trump also reminded everyone that Gaetz insists he didn’t do anything wrong in the first place:

Bitchy article from Hotair. Their ‘distinctions without a difference’ are duly noted.

Trump denies Gaetz asked him for blanket pardon

They way Trump was picked at, and the number of leaks since the Rats and Rinos stole the election for Sloe Joe, this would have been breaking news when it supposedly happened.

I'm not buying this story at all, even if it were on sale in the bargain basement.
