The Washington Post story he wrote about had basic details of the alleged blackmail attempt against Gaetz but this Washington Examiner write-up has more — including images of some of the emails and documents that were sent to Gaetz and his father by the alleged extorters. I think it’s reasonable for the two of them to have read between the lines and assumed they were being blackmailed. But unless the Examiner left something important out, there’s no explicit threat to damage Gaetz in any way if he didn’t fork over a $25 million “loan.” Can you get to “beyond a reasonable doubt” with a jury in federal court without that explicit threat?
