We learned on Saturday this past weekend that Matt gates specifically sought a pardon, according
to former white house, a Johnny McEntee regarding the ongoing investigation into possible trafficking
that Matt gates has been under for nearly two years.
Now, this is the first time we have had confirmation that the pardon Matt gates was seeking was
related to that FBI investigation and not to the events surrounding January 6th and
the attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
Now, the reason we know this of course is because McKinney, uh, did go and testify in
front of the January 6th committee.
They were asking about the pardons because obviously that is relevant.
If members of Congress were seeking pardons for their attempts to overturn the elections
and McKinzie was just basically like, no, no, no, no gates was actually wanting
to get his pardon blanket, pardon?
For the ongoing investigation, which McKinney says he swears he did nothing wrong, right?
Gates still maintains his innocence.
He just wanted to get that.
Pardon?
Because as McGinty told the committee, gates said the FBI was trying to make his life a
living hell.
Now it's important to remember that this entire investigation into Matt gates, which of course
is coming from the United States department of justice began while William Barr, Donald
Trump's handpicked appointee was the attorney general of the United States.
This investigation began under the Trump administration and William Barr signed off on it.
And I bring that up because Matt gates has repeatedly said, , they're not coming
after me.
They're coming after you.
I'm just in the way.
And by they, I guess he means Donald Trump's department of justice.
So let's make sure everybody understands that this wasn't a Biden thing.
Biden didn't create this Biden.
Didn't start it.
That started under the Trump administration on the same day that this story came out,
that Matt gates wanted a pardon for the, uh, potential trafficking charges that he's facing
the same day.
Saturday.
He went and spoke at a Texas youth summit where he told the crowd that I'm just glad
to be in a room where I'm one of the oldest people here.
I wish I was making that up.
I wish that wasn't a quote from Matt gates, but it is like, it comes out on Saturday,
reminds everybody, Hey, this guy may have had sex with an underage girl.
He goes to a youth event, a conservative youth event in Texas and says, man, I'm glad to
be the oldest one here.
Not a good look, gonna be honest with you, Matt, not a good look at all.
So the big question everybody had over the weekend obviously is why hasn't this guy been
charged?
Cause let's be clear.
According to the United States
Supreme court, the acceptance of a pardon is an admission of guilt.
So had gates accepted the pardon.
It would be as if he were admitting that yes he did what he's being accused of.
So people are asking why hasn't he been charged then?
Well, hold your horses folks.
This is a very complicated investigation that has only gotten more and more complicated
as time has gone on because even though Joel Greenberg is cooperating, even though Matt
gates' ex-girlfriend is cooperating.
There's so many different avenues involving different people that are not even Matt gates,
that this investigation has not reached its conclusion yet.
They've got bribery, they've got the fake candidate scandal.
Uh, all of it is all tied in and again, not all of it relates to Matt gates at all.
So there's lots of other areas they have to explore before they can come with these indictments
against anybody.
And, uh, there are five individuals named in the Joel Greenberg indictment as co-conspirators.
We do not know if one of those people is Matt gates, obviously signs point to the fact that
it is, but the DOJ also does not want to come out with any criminal charges prior to the
election.
They do not want to be seen as interfering Greenberg still has until December, until
he reports to jail.
And I, as I've said, many times, I think once Greenberg goes to jail and they know that
he is protected, that's when the indictments are gonna come out, whether it's against Matt
gates or not.
Right.
We can hope that it is, but we will not know until it actually happens, but I do think
it will happen after Greenberg goes to jail before the end of this year.
That's what we can look forward to.
And I do think based on everything we have learned, Matt gates has to be one of those
people.
That's gonna get indicted based on all the information that Greenberg has made public
about his activities with
Matt gates.
