The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is currently scrutinizing disgraced far-right Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida for the potential sex trafficking of a minor.

Gaetz's acquaintance and former Florida tax collector—Joel Greenberg—recently reached a plea deal signaling his cooperation with the Department of Justice. Venmo charges between the two, allegedly distributed to sex workers whom they paid to partake in drug-fueled parties, made waves on the internet recently. Greenberg's further cooperation suggests charges could be coming to Gaetz.

On Wednesday—the same day Defense Department officials shut down his hysteria over Critical Race Theory—Gaetz tweeted, then soon deleted, a post calling to defund the FBI.

The tweet was archived by ProPublica's tracker of politicians' deleted tweets.

The Congressman claimed Democrats wanted to defund the police, and suggested they start with the Bureau that's investigating him.

Demanding the full statement be printed, a Gaetz spokesperson told VICE:

"Given how seriously Rep. Gaetz treats his interactions with the FBI — especially his latest work in pursuing the facts surrounding Chinese defector Dr. Li Meng Yan and her safety in the United States — Rep. Gaetz felt it appropriate to remove a jocular tweet taken from a speech some time ago. He looks forward to hearing back from FBI Director Christopher Wray on what the FBI knew about the [virus] origins when Dr. Yan first came to the U.S. in early 2020."

Gaetz may have deleted the tweet, but the internet is forever, and people want to know why he's pressing to defund an agency that's investigating him.






The mockery was swift.



Gaetz continues to deny having an inappropriate relationship with a minor.

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
