The fact that he's saying it instead of publishing is how you know he's not for real
Counter-offer: hacking wants that sweet sweet BTC payout.
Or baguettes
Maybe we don't doxx the witnesses, okay?
So, just let him get away with it then? Because, Canadian, that’s what will happen.
No you redact it first.
Any idiot with Adobe Acrobat can do that. It shouldn't delay anything.
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."
So black out the name and release it.
I don't think that would have the effect within the legal system that you think it might have
Can’t know if it isn’t released
Still good to have it out there.
Publish or shut the fuck up
Oh please...let this be true...Let Gaetz squirm like the spineless pedo he is
he's not in the slightest bit worried. his boss got away with worse, and as long as he toes the line he will be fine
Exaclty. Blackmail only works if the target has a sense of shame, and clearly MAGAts abandones theirs long ago.
:'(
It won’t change anything. The pedophiles are in power.
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.
Still waiting on that Redditor to reveal the gay senator he was having an affair with.
Ohhh, that fiction. I forgot about that.
Release the pedofiles!!
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.
Well maybe with the girl's info redacted if it's not.
A file with damaging information about Gaetz?
Isn’t that like... any news article covering him?
Who cares anymore? You guys voted a criminal into power. Facts don't matter anymore.
This isn't a hack, that is just the cover for a leak.
An amazing number of “secure links” sure turn out to not be that. Damn humans.
Publish it now
It will change nothing
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. =(
What is this, 2024's version of Trump's tax returns? Nobody cares.
conservatives do not care about this. this is not what they care about. they don't care. it does not matter. liberals will never figure this out.
Or Trump has someone from russia hack gaetz files so they can't be used in court.
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 ... we're dying here.
I'll never get why people cling desperately to these people suspected of kid diddling. There are millions of people right? What the fuck is so special about that one that we need to excuse them for preying on children?
This isn't a question for people in power. I understand their plea is game recognizes game. This is for all the voters that prop these people up.

What's special is they're a republican, and there is dirt on them, which means they can be controlled. In a vacuum, nothing is special about Matt Gaetz. He's a goblin looking fratbro who by all accounts has a pretty annoying personality. His special power is having a father who is also a politician and a penchant for banging underage girls which his donors and peers can use to control his actions.
Neat.
There are two options imho:
- They're so far up in their own media bubble that they don't believe it's true.
- They don't care about it. Or at least not enough compared to the advantages of having said person in positions of power.
Let it have reach and traction in a way it can't be ignored, can't be doubted.
Smart, they can't smoke out the whistleblower if there is no whistleblower.
Sounds like a member of Congress getting ready to leak the report and blame it on hackers
