A former FBI official compared Trumpworld figures to the Sicilian Mafia.
The Washington Post's recent expose of a hot mic conversation between Gaetz and Stone was weighed in on by a former assistant director for counterintelligence at the FBI.
Gaetz was heard reassuring Stone that the boss would still offer a pardon.
Stone had said he was looking to Gaetz and many others to help him escape his legal troubles.
Even those of us who followed it every day could have imagined what was going on.
The conversations between Gaetz and Stone were similar to the "we're all in this together" mentality of Trumpworld.
He said that the Cosa Nostra, the Italian Mafia, translated as "this thing of ours." I keep hearing that we're all in this together.
The wiretaps of mobsters' conversations that he'd heard in the past sounded similar to those of Gaetz and Stone.
They are part of a criminal enterprise. The organization is a criminal one. They're aware of it. The only way out for them is for the boss to get them out of it.
Stone was indicted on one count of obstruction, five counts of making false statements to the FBI and congressional investigators, and one count of witness tampering in the Russia investigation.
Stone told Gaetz that he might have to appeal to the big man because most of the jurors hated him.
Gaetz said the trial wasucked where it was concerned. The congressman said that the "big guy" wouldn't allow Stone to go to prison.
Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison. The president commuted Stone's sentence before he left office.
Gaetz is the subject of a sex-trafficking investigation. The FBI and the Justice Department are looking into whether Gaetz broke the law by having sex with a minor. The congressman hasn't been charged with a crime.
Representatives for Gaetz, Stone, and Trump's post-presidential press office did not reply to a request from Insider.
