"I’ve personally apologized to @MichaelCohen212 4 referencing his private family in the public square," the Florida Republican."Regardless of disagreements, family members should be off-limits from attacks ..." Gaetz posted what appeared to be a threat to reveal unsavory allegations ahead of Cohen's public testimony Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee.4 referencing his private family in the public square. Regardless of disagreements, family members should be off-limits from attacks from representatives, senators & presidents, including myself. Let’s leave the Cohen family alone.
That mea cupla didn't seem to sway the Florida Bar, which NBC News has confirmed is investigating Gaetz for possibly violating its rules of professionalism. The inquiry was first reported by the
So you're a liar too!
Making it worse he is.
Dear Michael - I handle defamation cases and would be happy to sue Matt Gaetz for you.
Matt Gaetz still an asshole.
He may well have apologised but it does little to redeem him . What Gaetz has done is expose him as unfit for public office ? he’s a bully in the Trump mould and my guess is his political career will not outlast Trumps ,so gone sooner than later
Wait,even if true: 1. Gaetz likely knew it looonng ago 2. Obviously it didn't bother him enough THEN to be righteous. Why now? Right, because he wasn't just selling wolftickets he was trying to IntimidateAWitness. A crook committing a crime to call out a purported cheater 😌
if anyone else had done this they would be in jail already.
This guy has to go
Rep. Gaetz did the right thing. Why is President Trump treated differently by the Media and Dem politicians?
Nope. Too many GOP instigators spitting vitriol, blowing dog-whistles, making threats and going criminal. Very fine jackbooted thugs have hijacked the party. Time to end this...one disbarment, one conviction at a time.
Sorry, Matt. Too little, too late.
Sure he did. That's why Matt Gaetz stood behind Mark Meadows at the Cohen hearing staring at Michael as if he was some sort of tough guy.
mattgaetz probably got his ‘fake info’ from realDonaldTrump or one of his new attorneys. He lied and apologized. What makes him so different than Cohen. He should be given a cell in prison right next to Micheal, or at least be thrown out of office.
Hahah yeah dude I don’t think apologizing is gonna cover witness intimidation. But hey Matt have fun with this one! 👍
They can discuss it when they are both in prison. Gaetz deserves a prison cell too.
Gaetz should be expelled. His ‘apology’ is markedly insufficient and his behavior insufferable
With a tweet?
Why?
At least he apologized. Have any of the other GOP gangsters who are also blowing Trump?
Gaetz showed his true colors. Destroy at all costs.
Matt Gaetz should be disbarred.

Michael Cohen denies under oath visiting Prague in 2016 to collude with RussiansPresident Donald Trump's former personal lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen said under oath Wednesday that he had never traveled to Prague to collude with Russian officials in 2016, denying a key claim of the infamous 'dossier' that alleged a conspiracy between Trump and the Kremlin. Yet CNN, Washington Post, NY Times, NBC, etc.... Claimed collusion for 2 years. The fake dossier relied on Cohen being in Prague to setup the claim of collusion. America has been the victim of mass FakeNews. History will not be kind to today's media who are just Dem operatives. F*&$kin' lawyers. International travel should be easy enough to verify through the state dept, so he's probably telling the truth. Someone didn't do their homework. Telephone records identified that Cohens phone pinged of a Prague tower during time on question. Did he give his phone to anyone? What areas could that have happened
