So I think the story is as follows

Gaetz paid underage hookers for an orgy

Pictures were taken

In exchange for a pardon (what about the state crime?) Gaetz pays 25MM

The 25MM is used to fund a mission (or payoff) to rescue Robert Levinson who was/is being held in Iran

This deal was being brokered by a former DoJ employee

This makes my head hurt and if true would make a great movie.

He's still going to jail for banging underage prostitutes
