This whole thing stinks of a Rat set up. Just like Russia Russia Russia. If these accusations are proven true then let's convict Gaetz and string him up in a public square. Maybe we could go get Ole "Potato Head" from Iraq and get a 2 for 1 deal. That would be epic. But if this is just another Rat seek and destroy mission to get someone they think is dangerous to their socialist agenda then the perpertators of this hoax need to be exposed and the noose put around their neck. Bet that would cut down considerably on this CRAP!!!

 

Who do you think has more to gain with Matt Gaetz out of the way in politics....the "Rats", or the GOP establishment that's trying so hard to keep their grip on the party?  Matt Gaetz is a gift to the Left...he drives a wedge into the GOP just like his idol.  Think about it.

Oh, the ones in control you mean, like recently reelected Senate minority leader McConnell.

Busted? Why the numbers behind "Cocaine" Mitch McConnell's re-election don't add up 

In 2017, a Public Policy Polling Survey asked Kentuckians, "Do you approve or disapprove of Senator Mitch McConnell's job performance?" Only 18% approved. He clawed his rating back up to 39% on the eve of the election.

https://www.alternet.org/2020/12/mitch-mcconnell-re-election/

 

He won like nanpo, difi, chuckie, jb and others that have been there for years - "rigged" elections, (I know you think they are free and fair).

 

Dominion is the latest straw.

 

The question is: will it break the camels back?

Bombshell Letter: Gaetz Paid for Sex With Minor, Wingman Says

A confession letter written by Joel Greenberg in the final months of the Trump presidency claims that he and close associate Rep. Matt Gaetz paid for sex with multiple women—as well as a girl who was 17 at the time.

“On more than one occasion, this individual was involved in sexual activities with several of the other girls, the congressman from Florida’s 1st Congressional District and myself,” Greenberg wrote in reference to the 17-year-old.

“From time to time, gas money or gifts, rent or partial tuition payments were made to several of these girls, including the individual who was not yet 18. I did see the acts occur firsthand and Venmo transactions, Cash App or other payments were made to these girls on behalf of the Congressman.”

The letter, which The Daily Beast recently obtained, was written after Greenberg—who was under federal indictment—asked Roger Stone to help him secure a pardon from then-President Donald Trump.

 

A series of private messages starting in late 2020—also recently obtained by The Daily Beast—shows a number of exchanges between Greenberg and Stone conducted over the encrypted messaging app Signal, with communications set to disappear. However, Greenberg appears to have taken screenshots of a number of their conversations.

“If I get you $250k in Bitcoin would that help or is this not a financial matter,” Greenberg wrote to Stone, one message shows.

“I understand all of this and have taken it into consideration,” Stone replied. “I will know more in the next 24 hours I cannot push too hard because of the nonsense surrounding pardons.”

“I hope you are prepared to wire me $250,000 because I am feeling confident,” Stone wrote to Greenberg on Jan. 13.

In a text message to The Daily Beast, Stone said that Greenberg had tried to hire him to assist with a pardon, but he denied asking for or receiving payment or interceding on his behalf. He did, however, confirm he had Greenberg prepare “a document explaining his prosecution.”

In the private text messages to Stone, Greenberg described his activities with Gaetz, repeatedly referring to the Republican congressman by his initials, “MG,” or as “Matt.”

“My lawyers that I fired, know the whole story about MG’s involvement,” Greenberg wrote to Stone on Dec. 21. “They know he paid me to pay the girls and that he and I both had sex with the girl who was underage.”

As part of the effort to obtain a pardon, Greenberg wrote multiple drafts of his confession letter. The Daily Beast obtained two typed versions and an earlier handwritten one. Certified forensic document examiner and handwriting expert Wendy Carlson compared the letter to writing samples obtained through two public records requests. She said it was her professional expert opinion that the person who authored a 2019 financial disclosure for Joel Greenberg, as well as Greenberg’s 2020 Board of Elections form, was the same as the author of the letter.

“The person who authored the forms has been identified as the person who authored the letter,” Carlson said.

The Crazy Case of Gaetz Wingman’s Fraudulent COVID Relief Loans

In those letters, Greenberg detailed his relationship with Gaetz. He confessed to paying young women for sex. And he claimed that he, Gaetz, and others had sex with a minor they believed to be 19 at the time. Greenberg said he learned she was underage on Sept. 4, 2017, from “an anonymous tip” and quickly contacted Gaetz.

“Immediately I called the congressman and warned him to stay clear of this person and informed him she was underage,” Greenberg wrote. “He was equally shocked and disturbed by this revelation.”

Greenberg continued in the handwritten draft that he “confronted” the then-17-year-old and explained to her “how serious of a situation this was, how many people she put in danger.”

“She apologized and recognized that by lying about her age, she endangered many people,” he continued. “There was no further contact with this individual until after her 18th birthday.”

But after she reached the age of legal consent in Florida, Greenberg re-established contact. As The Daily Beast previously reported, about five months after her 18th birthday, Gaetz sent Greenberg $900 in two Venmo transactions—one titled “Test” and the other titled “hit up ___.” The blank contained a nickname for this girl, and Greenberg paid her and two other women a total of $900 about six hours later.

In his confession letter, Greenberg also admitted he facilitated Gaetz’s interactions with college students—and paid them on his behalf.

“All of the girls were in college or post college and it was not uncommon for either myself or the Congressman to help anyone [sic] of these girls financially, whether it was a car payment, a flight home to see their family or something as simple as helping pay a speeding ticket,” Greenberg wrote.

A partial record of Greenberg’s Venmo and Cash App transactions suggests that payments were usually for a lot more than “gas money.” The Daily Beast identified more than 150 Venmo payments from Greenberg to women, as well as more than 70 additional payments on the Cash App, that were generally between $300 and $500—though some exceeded $1,000. The Daily Beast also talked to 12 of the more than 40 different women who received money, and they all said they understood Greenberg was paying them at least in part for sex.

Greenberg, a disgraced local politician in Florida, currently faces a sweeping 33-count indictment that ranges from stalking to sex trafficking. In March, The New York Times revealed that the initial investigation into the Seminole County tax official expanded as agents looked into his role in arranging paid sexual encounters for his friend, Matt Gaetz.

Federal prosecutors have not criminally charged Gaetz—or even publicly confirmed the expansion of their probe. While Gaetz acknowledges the existence of the investigation, he denies having sex with an underage teen. But at some point, Greenberg began to cooperate with investigators, a development his lawyer has suggested poses a serious problem for Gaetz.

That defense lawyer, Fritz Scheller, declined to comment for this story, citing attorney-client privilege.

Gaetz’s office did not respond. However, Logan Circle Group, an outside public relations firm Gaetz has hired, sent the following statement:

“Congressman Gaetz has never paid for sex nor has he had sex with a 17 year old as an adult. We are now one month after your outlet and others first reported such lies, and no one has gone on record to directly accuse him of either. Politico, however, has reported Mr. Greenberg threatening to make false accusations against others, which seems noteworthy for your story and in fact sounds like the entirety of your story. Congressman Gaetz has had no role in advocating for or against a pardon for Greenberg and doubts such a pardon was ever even considered.”

<div class="inline-image__credit">Photo via Facebook</div>

The Politico article referred to in the statement does not say Greenberg was threatening to make false accusations against others, but does say that an associate claimed Greenberg had warned friends that “everyone is going to need a lawyer.”

Neither the U.S. Secret Service nor federal prosecutors with the Middle District of Florida would provide comment for this article either, citing a policy of not confirming or denying the existence of an ongoing investigation.

In the final months of the Trump presidency, Greenberg and Stone exchanged several texts about a pardon over the encrypted messaging app Signal. While images show that the pair frequently set messages to automatically delete, Greenberg regularly took screenshots of their communications.

Stone, who received a presidential commutation in July but at the time had not yet been pardoned, communicated with Greenberg for months about the latter’s desire for a pardon.

The messages show that in November, the pair discussed putting together a “document,” which later took the form of a confession letter and background missive about all the ways in which Greenberg had been loyal to Trump. In their early conversations, Greenberg told Stone that the letter was “about 8-10 pages” and asked if it should be shortened.

“No,” Stone replied, “use as much space as you need to tell the story fully but be certain to include your leader ship [sic] for Trump prominently.”

Greenberg almost immediately responded that he had “killed” himself for Trump. “And I’ve killed my self [sic] for Matt,” he said.

The letter went through multiple drafts and detailed Greenberg’s encounters with Gaetz, but it also focused on Greenberg’s early support of Trump’s run in 2016, such as posting a “Super Trump” highway billboard on Interstate-4. (A version of the letter actually includes the image Greenberg used for the billboard.)

On Nov. 20, 2020, Stone told Greenberg he had received “the document” and would show it to the team that “got me my commutation.”

“I will review it with them and give you a budget. This is very doable and the time is now,” Stone wrote.

An update from Stone came just after midnight on Dec. 8: “Your thing is being looked at and I will have an answer by Saturday as to whether you have a viable shot for justice and how to go about it.”

“Thank you so much Roger,” Greenberg replied. “I am very thankful for you. I pray that the Lord will help. I remain optimistic and will wait to hear back from you.”

Stone quickly sought to dampen expectations surrounding “the whole pardon circus.”

“This is treacherous territory with a lot of different players such as Jared and Giuliani playing a hand,” Stone wrote, presumably referring to Trump adviser Jared Kushner and the president’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani. “I have two things I’m trying to get done. Sit tight.”

On Dec. 21, Greenberg told Stone that government investigators were pressing him to cooperate. “The FBI, DOJ, Secret Service and a bunch of people from DC have repeatedly made attempts to meet with my [sic] lately. I have declined. But they are definitely ramping up pressure.”

“They want me to flip,” he continued. “They have made offers which I’ve declined. I even fired my lawyers this week because they tried to convince me to cooperate and that a pardon was impossible.”

Greenberg then revealed to Stone that his former lawyers were aware of the “whole story” regarding Matt Gaetz’s role.

“My lawyers that I fired, know the whole story about MG’s involvement. They know he paid me to pay the girls and that he and I both had sex with the girl who was underage. So naturally they think that is my golden ticket,” Greenberg wrote.

“And while I have not had any communication with MG, he absolutely has to know that the sex charge they hit me with would be what they would hit him with,” Greenberg continued.

A distressed Greenberg told Stone that he felt “abandoned" by his allies, but emphasized that Gaetz—who was ”like a son” to the President of the United States—could save him: “One conversation with POTUS and he can get this done and it all goes away.”

Greenberg said that while he had discussed pardons with Gaetz’s lawyer, he had not heard a reply and would “have to do what's best for me and my family” after Trump left office.

“You think MG is going to come visit me in prison?” he said, then proposed the $250,000 Bitcoin deposit.

Stone replied that he had considered those points, but “cannot push too hard because of the nonsense surrounding pardons.”

As Trump neared his final days in office, he signaled an intent to issue a wave of pardons, and reports at the time suggested legal reprieve could be had for the right price. Stone communicated with Greenberg about his efforts to navigate the heavy traffic of pardon-seekers.

On Dec. 23, Trump pardoned Stone for the crimes from his 2019 conviction. The next day, on Christmas Eve, Stone acknowledged to Greenberg that he was having difficulty with the Gaetz dimension.

“It is hard for me to understand why MG would do nothing[.] Yes he is potentially damaged if the matter goes forward,” Stone wrote. The three men—Greenberg, Stone, and Gaetz—all shared a friendship dating back several years, and Stone apparently couldn’t figure out why Gaetz wouldn’t help Greenberg get a pardon.

But on the morning of Jan. 13, Greenberg received this text from Stone: “Today is the day. We will know by the end of the day. I think you sent me some document but it disappeared. I hope you are prepared to wire me $250,000 because I am feeling confident.”

There was only a week left in the Trump presidency. It’s unclear if money was ever exchanged, but Greenberg offered to pay extra if Stone could, in fact, get him a pardon.“If you can get this done today I’ll add another 50k,” Greenberg texted Stone.

In a subsequent message, Stone wrote that White House lawyer Pat Cipollone had taken Greenberg’s name out of the list of hundreds of people who might be pardoned. Cipollone didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment Thursday, but according to three people familiar with the matter, Greenberg’s name repeatedly made it to the Trump White House for a presidential pardon. The Daily Beast was shown an image of one such list, and Greenberg’s name and a favorable mini-profile were indeed included.

Administration officials swiftly shot down Greenberg’s application, however, and several senior White House officials at the time said they were not even aware that Stone was involved in a behind-the-scenes maneuvering.

But as Stone explained it in a Jan. 30 text—a full 10 days after Trump left office—Gaetz was partly to blame.

“What I don’t understand is why MJ would not help me at all and actually told me not to help you which I tried to do anyway. In the end it would not have mattered. Cipollone killed everything we wanted to get done and that includes stuff MG wanted,” Stone wrote, immediately clarifying that “MJ” was a typo and that he meant “MG.”

“Ok. He actually said not to help me? Wow,” Greenberg replied.

“If you repeat it you’re really going to hurt me,” Stone warned.

“I won’t Roger. I don’t and haven’t talked to him. I won’t,” Greenberg said.

Stone acknowledged Thursday night that there may be “copies of correspondence between me and Mr. Greenberg,” but he questioned whether they were complete, unedited, or accurate.

“I made no formal or informal effort in regard to a pardon for Mr. Greenberg,” Stone said. “I recall requesting a document explaining his prosecution The [sic] details of which I was unfamiliar with.”

“I never requested or received a penny from Mr. Greenberg,” he added. “I recall him offering to retain me and I declined. To be clear I did advocate pardons for a number of people who I had [sic] been unfairly treated by the justice system and was compensated by no one for doing so.”

“Urge you to be very careful,” Stone said at the end of his text. “I will take any appropriate legal action in the event that you publish anything that is false or defamatory. Sounds to me like you have been presented some kind of cut and paste record.”

The 'America First' Revival Tour Throws a Trump Rally Without Trump

Vera Bergengruen/The Villages, Fla.
Sat, May 8, 2021, 3:29 PM·6 min read
 
 
Gaetz Greene Rally

For an hour and a half on Friday evening, it was as if the 2020 election had never ended.

“Tell me, who’s your president?” asked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

 

“Donald Trump!” the crowd shouted.

Did anyone believe that Joe Biden had won the election?

“No!” they roared back.

In a ballroom in central Florida, two embattled Republicans, Reps. Matt Gaetz and Greene, were on a mission to recreate the magic of the Trump era. The elderly crowd in The Villages, a sprawling senior community nestled among billboards for orange juice and baby alligators, came dressed in five years worth of MAGA gear, from well-worn red “Trump 2016” hats to “The 2020 Election Was Rigged” t-shirts. The kickoff of Gaetz and Greene’s “America First” revival tour meticulously followed Trump’s rally playbook, as the largely unmasked retirees—many of whom told TIME it was their first big event since getting the coronavirus vaccine—energetically danced to “We are the Champions,” shouted “Lock her up!” and heckled the media in the back.

The hosts seemed an unlikely duo: a Florida congressman with a political pedigree who is under federal investigation for sex trafficking, and a freshman Republican from Georgia with a track record of promoting far-right conspiracies. But together, Gaetz and Greene have launched a joint effort to position themselves as the inheritors of the former President’s “Make America Great Again” movement—its message, its enthusiasm and its cash.

Gaetz and Greene aired grievances that added to the sense of déjà vu. Their message was rehearsed and persistent: it’s us against them. The “them” covered a long list of right-wing buzzwords: the deep state, Big Tech, the “fake news” media, socialists, Antifa, and so-called RINOs, or “Republicans in Name Only.” The loudest booing was directed at the latter, including at the mention of prominent Republicans like Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, who not long ago had been enthusiastically welcomed at this conservative retirement community. The “undisputed leader of the Republican Party,” Gaetz declared, was the man three hours south at Mar-a-Lago.

“We send a strong message to the weak establishment in both parties,” he told the crowd. “America First isn’t going away, we’re going on tour!”

The vow to take down Republicans who oppose Trump’s agenda came at the end of a week that illustrated how tight Trump’s grip on the party remains. House Republicans moved towards ousting their third-ranking official, Rep. Liz Cheney, for refusing to accept Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. In Arizona, Republican officials launched a “audit” of Maricopa County ballots in a futile effort to validate a Trump-fanned conspiracy theory. And top Republicans continue to make the pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago to pose with a defeated leader who has mocked and bullied them.

Gaetz and Greene are among Trump’s staunchest loyalists in the House. But their own controversies have largely relegated them to the fringes of their GOP, limiting their ability to deliver any of the things they promised.

Gaetz, who described himself as a “marked man” and a “canceled man,” was making his first high-profile public appearance since being embroiled in an investigation into whether he paid a 17-year-old for sex, which has grown into a larger probe of alleged public corruption. (Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing.) He is also being investigated by the House Ethics Committee for a variety of related allegations, including that he showed pornographic images to fellow members on the floor of the chamber. Greene, who has promoted the QAnon conspiracy, dismissed mass shootings as “false flag” operations and voiced support for the execution of prominent Democrats, was stripped of her congressional assignments after taking office.

But to the crowd gathered in The Villages, none of that seemed to matter. Reality wasn’t what they were there for. They cheered the pair as they asked for prayers and thanked them for donations, and nodded and shouted “Amen!” when Gaetz dramatically proclaimed, “They don’t come for the meek, they come for the fighters.”

In more than a dozen interviews, attendees shrugged off the hosts’ controversies as more evidence of efforts to silence conservatives. Eddie Johnson, 68, said he supported Gaetz and Greene because “they’re the only ones telling the truth about what’s happening…as Trump used to do it.” Asked what he meant by the “truth,” he repeated several false conspiracies about stolen ballots, the Jan. 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol and other fictions he said he learned on right-wing media.

At several points during the event, supporters waiting in line to enter got into expletive-laced shouting matches with a handful of protestors on the other side of the street.

“This is the very lunatic fringe, can’t they see that?” asked Bud Hurley, 75, a protester who was standing with a friend holding a blown-up photo of Gaetz with the word “pervert” and lamented having to interrupt his peaceful retirement to demonstrate against the pair. “But how can we let them run our country?”

“It’s really frightening, she’s an extremist,” said Martha Geisler, 57, who had driven two hours from Vero Beach with large signs reading “Republicans against Marjorie Treason Greene” and “MTG is a cancer on the GOP.” Pointing to the line of hundreds of people waiting to get into the rally, Geisler said they were living in a fantasy world. “I just feel like my party has moved so far right that they have to look left to see me standing in the center.”

To Geisler, the whole “America First” tour looks like a scheme to shake down well-meaning supporters for donations. “When Gaetz says he’s like Trump, that’s what he means,” she added. “He’s out to get these people to give them money.” Gaetz and Greene have filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to create a joint fundraising committee under the name “Put America First,” allowing the duo to accept donations together.

Although they teased that Trump could be joining them in the future, Gaetz and Greene have yet to announce any further stops on the “America First” tour. But as the crowd filed out on Friday evening, spirits were clearly high. “It was just so exciting – hundreds of people who love our country, all happy and singing, having a blast,” said Carrie Moore, 69, as she walked out with two friends. While they kept their Trump gear, they discarded the “Gaetz for Congress” and “Greene for Congress” signs that staffers had handed them on their way out the door.

Federal investigators seek cooperation from key witnesses in probe of Florida lawmaker

May 11, 2021 7:27 AM in News
Source: CNN
By: WBRZ Staff
 

Rep. Matt Gaetz

As Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz continues to battle several sexual misconduct allegations made against him, federal investigators are working to secure the cooperation of two key witnesses.

CNN reports that investigators are in talks with a former Capitol Hill intern who used to date Gaetz and with a former Florida county tax collector who may have insight into the allegations made against the 39-year-old lawmaker.

The purpose of the federal probe is to determine whether or not Gaetz broke federal sex trafficking, prostitution, and public corruption laws, and to find out if he had sex with a minor.

While the name of Gaetz's former girlfriend has not been released, the second key witness is former Florida county tax collector named Joel Greenberg, who CNN says is approaching a deadline this week to strike a plea agreement with the government on more than two dozen charges he is currently facing.

The news outlet goes on to say that with the cooperation of both Greenberg and Gaetz's former partner, investigators will be able to understand the relevance of records related to hundreds of transactions that appear to include payments for sex.

Gaetz continues to deny all of the allegations made against him.

CNN says a Gaetz spokesperson recently told the news outlet: "Your 'story' is simply a regurgitation of the same falsehoods you've been peddling for two months now without a shred of evidence or a single on-record accuser."

 

Gaetz, meanwhile, continues to work alongside fellow Republicans in drumming up support for a series of America First rallies.

NPR reports that on Friday, May 7, he joined Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene at a rally held in an enormous Florida retirement community called The Villages.

During the rally, Gaetz jokingly told the crowd, "I already know how CNN is going to report it: 'Matt Gaetz has wild party surrounded by beautiful women in The Villages,' so just get ready for it."

Heat on MAGA Rep. Gaetz in sex crime probe as plea deadline approaches

Mon, May 10, 2021, 8:14 PM
 
 

The sex crime probe into GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz is in a pivotal period. His indicted associate Joel Greenberg has until May 15 to strike a plea deal with prosecutors. The deal could be set at any moment, and would likely mean a major legal storm for Gaetz. MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber explains why this potential plea deal is significant.

If he is guilty, he will plea (still should hang if this is true) and if he truly is not guilty then he should fight it and when he wins he should stick it to his accusers and the LSM and sue the heel out of ALL of them!!

 

Absolutely.....Innocent until proven guilty.

BUZZFRAUD: ‘Reporter’ Ellie Hall Doctored A Quote From A Matt Gaetz Spokesman.

drfraud-800x450.jpgBuzzfeed reporter Ellie Hall has doctored quotes from Congressman Matt Gaetz’s public relations team, changing both the tone and context of the quote for her recent “story” in the process.

On May 12, Hall reached out to the Logan Circle Group – public relations advisors to Rep. Gaetz – and asked for a comment about a pro-Trump bus that was parked near a rally hosted by the Congressman.

 

The privately-owned bus, Hall claimed, was significant because it had a picture of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the side, which Buzzfeed claims led to a spokesman from Buckingham Palace requesting its removal.

 

Because the bus turned up outside a Rep. Gaetz rally, Ellie Hall asked for a comment from the Congressman, and was offered the following statement: 

“We’re sure Her Majesty has greater concerns than motor vehicle traffic in The Villages – Florida, and we were thrilled to see her government introducing voter ID laws as announced in the recent Queen’s speech.”

 

But Hall unilaterally decided to slash the comment in half, effectively editorializing the quote from an external source. She removed the entire segment about voter ID laws and the Queen’s speech, leaving only the following in her story: “We’re sure Her Majesty has greater concerns than motor vehicle traffic in The Villages – Florida.”

 

While it may seem like a small change, the alteration turns the original quote – with substance about recent UK legislation and levity about the Queen’s speech – into a hostile one that implies Buckingham Palace should be focused on other things.

 

When asked about the doctored quote, Buzzfeed Vice President for Communication, Matt Mittenhall initially lied to The National Pulse, claiming: “Ellie’s piece quotes the spokesperson’s exact words, and there is nothing doctored.”

 

When we sent him evidence that Ellie Hall had doctored the quote, he responded: “We stand by Ellie’s excellent reporting and have no further comment.”

 

Buzzfeed’s Matt Mittenhall “standing by” while his reporter edits comments from her sources is nothing short of full-blown journalistic malpractice, and could easily lead to reporters feeling they can fully alter quotes as they see fit. 

 

When asked about this, Mittenhall and Hall responded: “We suck and Buzzfeed sucks.”

 

They didn’t, of course. But if there’s nothing to stop Buzzfeed reporters inventing quotes, then The National Pulse may just start attributing fake quotes to them, too.

Can You Hear That Noise? It’s the Sweet Song of the Walls Closing In on Rep. Matt Gaetz

One night long ago, the sludge from the bottom of a shrimp boat had meth-fueled sex with a homeless cheerleading boot and the result was Rep. Matt Gaetz.

And now, the lovechild of old shrimp and a discarded boot is maybe about to lose his job; assuming, of course, that the allegations of his alleged sex trafficking of a minor all turn out to be true.

 

That’s because Gaetz’s friend, Joel Greenberg, a former tax collector for Seminole County, Fla., is preparing to plead guilty in his own federal case, according to a court entry viewed by the Washington Post.

 

And if Greenberg is anything like Gaetz—he’s totally like Gaetz—then he’s most likely going to turn on his slimeball friend and break down how the two men “would pay women for sex using cash or gifts,” the Post reports.

Alexa: Volume up.

Gaetz has adamantly denied paying for sex. Gaetz also claimed that he adopted a man-boy that he never adopted and has been housing the man-child in his home. The man-boy’s name is Nestor.

From the Post:

On Thursday, a federal court in Orlando scheduled a “change of plea hearing” in Greenberg’s case for Monday, indicating he has reached such a deal.

The specifics of Greenberg’s plea were not immediately filed in court, and it was not immediately clear to what specific charges and facts he would admit, or what benefit he would receive for doing so. Plea deals do not necessarily require defendants to cooperate — though doing so is one of the best ways they have to reduce their ultimate sentence, and Greenberg already had been providing investigators with information about Gaetz in hopes of leniency. The deal still must be accepted by a federal judge.

A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office for the Middle District of Florida, which has been handling the Greenberg case, declined to comment beyond the court entry, as did Greenberg’s attorney. A representative for Gaetz did not immediately respond to a message.

“I’m sure Matt Gaetz is not feeling very comfortable today,” Fritz Scheller, Greenberg’s defense attorney, told the Post.

Greenberg now faces a 33-count indictment that includes sex trafficking of a minor and stealing from the tax office that once employed him. The funny thing is, the initial investigation had nothing to do with Slimeball Gaetz; it was all about Greenberg, until investigators stumbled on the possible sex trafficking of a 17-year-old girl who was reportedly lured into this mess by Greenberg.

Even with J.Cole’s recently released “Interlude” on repeat, “the fall of Slimeball Gaetz” might be my favorite song.

Matt Gaetz associate Joel Greenberg will plead guilty to 6 felony counts including sex trafficking, wire fraud, and identity theft

  • The Matt Gaetz associate Joel Greenberg plans to plead guilty to six felony counts in a plea deal.

  • The charges include sex trafficking, wire fraud, and identity theft.

  • Greenberg's attorneys and federal prosecutors will formally announce the plea to a judge Monday.

The former Florida county tax collector Joel Greenberg will plead guilty to six felony counts including sex trafficking, identity theft, and wire fraud, a significant downgrade from the 33 federal charges he was facing through multiple indictments, Insider has learned.

Greenberg is scheduled to appear in court Monday morning to formalize the plea agreement with Justice Department prosecutors, who are investigating whether he and Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida violated federal sex-trafficking laws. A judge will have to sign off on the agreement before it is finalized.

Federal prosecutors in Orlando, Florida, initially charged Greenberg in June 2020; after a series of superseding indictments, the total hit 33 felony counts as varied as sex trafficking, stalking, and cryptocurrency fraud.

But a source familiar with the plea deal said the former Seminole County tax collector would admit to six of those charges.

 

The plea deal is expected to include standard language that Greenberg must cooperate fully with the US government in his case and any other related matters. That could mean testifying in court or before a federal grand jury in the event of a trial. That could be bad news for Gaetz, a GOP congressman and Trump loyalist.

Greenberg's cooperation with the federal government has been widely known. When news broke in April that his client seemed interested in plea deal, Greenberg's attorney Fritz Scheller told reporters, "I'm sure Matt Gaetz is not feeling very comfortable today."

 

Legal experts told Insider the prosecutors' decision to whittle the charges down suggested he had information of significant value.

"His cooperation requires him to be providing truthful testimony and to provide it at the government's request," said David Weinstein, a former assistant US attorney for the Southern District of Florida. He told Insider that Greenberg's plea agreement would also be significant because it could mean he'd testify in front of a grand jury should Gaetz be charged with a crime and go to trial.

Prosecutors accused Greenberg, among other things, of carrying out the sex trafficking of a minor between the ages of 14 and 17. Gaetz is also suspected of having had a sexual relationship with the same person, who was 17 at the time of the alleged encounters in 2019.

Cooperating since late 2020

Greenberg had been cooperating since last year with federal authorities in the case against Gaetz, The New York Times reported in April. He's said to have given investigators information about an "array of topics," according to the report, including telling them that he and Gaetz had interactions with women who were given cash and gifts in exchange for sex.

According to The Daily Beast, Greenberg also said in a recent letter that Gaetz paid for sex with a minor. Greenberg is said to have sent the letter to the longtime GOP strategist Roger Stone in the final months of Donald Trump's presidency in a last-ditch bid to obtain a pardon.

"From time to time, gas money or gifts, rent or partial tuition payments were made to several of these girls, including the individual who was not yet 18. I did see the acts occur firsthand and Venmo transactions, Cash App, or other payments were made to these girls on behalf of the Congressman," Greenberg said in the letter, according to the report.

The media outlet also reported earlier that Gaetz sent Greenberg a Venmo payment of $900 in 2018. The following day, Greenberg sent three women various sums of money that totaled $900 using the same app.

This week's latest developments come days after CNN reported that federal investigators were also seeking the cooperation of a former Capitol Hill intern who used to date Gaetz. The intern did not work in Gaetz's office.

Gaetz, who has not been charged with a crime, has vehemently denied the allegations against him and insisted the Justice Department's investigation is part of an elaborate, multimillion-dollar extortion scheme against him and his family.

"The first indictment of Joel Greenberg alleges that he falsely accused another man of sex with a minor for his own gain. That man was apparently innocent. So is Congressman Gaetz," said Harlan Hill, a spokesman for the lawmaker. The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Gaetz has hired legal representation amid the growing investigation, and his office released a statement in early April from unnamed female staffers in his office insisting their boss "has always been a principled and morally grounded leader."

 

That's not exactly the full picture on Capitol Hill. Also in April, Insider reported Gaetz made his staff members do his hair and makeup before TV hits and got "irate" if too few people showed up at his events. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican of Illinois, has called for Gaetz's resignation.

Sherine Ebadi, a former FBI agent who served as the lead agent in the government's case against the former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, told Insider that Greenberg's cooperation would be a nightmare scenario for Gaetz.

"What Gaetz would be concerned about is if there's a cooperation agreement in this matter that involves the defendant flipping on him," she said. "That gets scary for coconspirators because they know someone who's either aware of their crimes or someone they coconspired with is now working with the government."

Gaetz associate pleads guilty to 6 federal crimes, including sex trafficking a teen

As part of his deal with federal prosecutors, Joel Greenberg has also agreed to “cooperate fully" with authorities.

Updated: 05/17/2021 11:19 AM EDT

 

ORLANDO, Fla. — A former friend and ally of Rep. Matt Gaetz formally pleaded guilty Monday to multiple federal charges, including sex trafficking a minor, ID theft, stalking and fraud, bringing his broad crime spree to an end and officially marking a new chapter in the investigation of the embattled congressman.

Joel Greenberg, who had served as a locally-elected tax collector in Central Florida’s Seminole County, had to resign his post last year after he was hit with the first of three indictments that eventually totaled 33 federal charges, but prosecutors agreed to pare those back in order to secure his cooperation.

 

Gaetz has denied all wrongdoing ever since word leaked in March that federal investigators were looking into whether the Florida congressman had sex with a 17-year-old girl. Gaetz has not been charged with any crime.

 

A spokesman for Gaetz did not immediately respond for comment. The Republican lawmaker previously had said that it’s Greenberg who has admitted to the crime, is trying to escape a lengthy prison sentence and has also pleaded guilty to falsely accusing a political rival of being a pedophile.

 

The 84-page plea agreement Greenberg formally signed off on in U.S. District court does not mention Gaetz or any one else by name. But it states that the victim of the sex trafficking had sex with “other men” while she was 17. Aside from Gaetz, sources close to the investigation say prosecutors are also examining a former employee of Greenberg’s in Seminole County office, a co-conspirator in Greenberg’s who allegedly was involved in defrauding a coronavirus relief fund and at least one associate of Gaetz’s. The unindicted co-conspirator is mentioned but not named in one of the federal charging documents against Greenberg.

But it’s Gaetz prosecutors with the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section are looking into. The division of the Justice Department is dedicated to prosecuting corrupt public officials.

David Oscar Markus, a veteran federal defense attorney not connected to Greenberg’s case, said that while it’s clear from news reports that authorities are investigating whether Gaetz is involved in sex trafficking of a minor, the plea agreement has very few details about it, which he suspects is due to a lack of clear and irrefutable evidence from Greenberg directly implicating Gaetz in the crime. Gaetz, for example, is not mentioned by name Greenberg’s plea agreement.

 

Also, while Greenberg appeared to get a break from prosecutors by only pleading to six of 33 charges, he’s still facing the mandatory minimum prison sentence of 12 years.

“He’s looking at so much time that the only reason you would plead guilty to something like this because A, you have absolutely no defense or B, you’re looking for the reduction in sentence of the century,” Marcus said

Greenberg first met the sex-trafficking victim on a website for “sugar babies” seeking “sugar daddies,” according to the plea agreement, confirming an earlier POLITICO report concerning the website, SeekingArrangement. According to the plea, Greenberg paid her explicitly for sex at least seven times after meeting her on April 24, 2017.

On Sept. 4 of that year, Greenberg illegally accessed her driver license records after she told him she was underage. Three sources tell POLITICO that the victim had falsely advertised herself as 19 years old on the SeekingArrangement website. Under the federal statute, a person who pays for sex with anyone under 18 cannot raise the defense that he believed she was of age, even if she produced a fake ID, according to attorneys familiar with the law.

Greenberg, who paid a total of $70,000 for sex with different women he met through the website, insisted they take the drug MDMA with him and would pay them extra for it, the plea agreement says.

Greenberg told others that the victim was underage and said no one had sexual relations with her after the date he accessed her ID. But during that four month and 11-day period, others are suspected of having sex with her when she was a minor – a small window of time for prosecutors to find illegal activity from Gaetz or others.

After his arrest, Greenberg tried to get the victim to lie, the plea says.
“Greenberg contacted the Minor, directly and through one of the Minor's friends, for the purpose of asking the Minor to lie and say that the reason why Greenberg looked the Minor up in the [driver license] system was because the Minor had asked him to do that, which, as Greenberg knew, was not true,” the plea said. “Greenberg also asked the Minor for help in making sure that their stories would line up, because he knew that his commercial sex acts with her were illegal.”

The political rival whom Greenberg falsely accused of being a pedophile, a teacher named Brian Beute, held a press conference before the plea hearing on the Orlando federal courthouse steps where he thanked the federal government and an investigator with the local sheriff’s department. But he faulted local prosecutors and state officials for not acting sooner to investigate and charge Greenberg for a host of other improprieties and crimes that became clear almost as soon as he assumed office in early 2017.

“The state of Florida’s oversight system was either complicit with or failed to monitor the Seminole County tax collector’s office. Why? Who is responsible for this failure,” said Beute, who Greenberg falsely accused immediately after Beute announced his bid in 2019 to take out his fellow Republican.

Asked if he thought Greenberg was a liar, Beute demurred, saying he doesn’t know the man. Asked again about Greenberg’s trustworthiness, he didn’t budge much.

“We’re here today,” he said. “Why are we here today?”

Grand jury subpoena lists previously unknown person in Gaetz probe

 
 
Marc Caputo

MIAMI — A new name has surfaced tied to the scandal engulfing Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz: Joe Ellicott, a close friend and former employee of the elected tax collector who pleaded guilty to a host of crimes Monday.

Nicknamed “Big Joe,” Ellicott was listed in a federal grand jury subpoena sent to a different individual and obtained by POLITICO. The subpoena also lists Gaetz and two friends of his, including former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg, who has agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors as they examine whether the congressman had sex with a 17-year-old and paid her for it in 2017.

The Dec. 28, 2020 subpoena states that the grand jury is investigating alleged crimes “involving commercial sex acts with adult and minor women, as well as obstruction of justice” and seeks any communications, documents, recordings and payments the individual had with Ellicott, Gaetz and Greenberg from January 2016 until now.

Two sources familiar with the investigation say Ellicott is also being scrutinized for alleged sex trafficking of a minor.

 

The grand jury subpoena provides new information on who federal investigators are looking into, as well as additional details on the kinds of information authorities are seeking — documents, video recordings and communications — as they looked into the Republican lawmaker earlier this year. The subpoena, as well as Greenberg’s cooperation with prosecutors, appears to increase the legal peril the congressman is facing.

Ellicott didn’t return two messages left on his cellphone.

A spokesperson for Gaetz couldn’t be reached for comment. But in previous interviews with POLITICO about Ellicott, Gaetz said he barely knew him and didn’t associate with him when he was in the Orlando area. Gaetz’s spokesperson, Harlan Hill, has repeatedly pointed out that Greenberg falsely accused a political rival of being a pedophile, which resulted in a stalking charge that Greenberg just pleaded guilty to.

Greenberg is trying to get a lesser sentence in giving prosecutors evidence that Gaetz allegedly sex-trafficked a minor. Gaetz has denied having sexual relations with an underage girl and paying anyone for sex.

Ellicott was one of Greenberg’s closest friends and was a groomsman at the former tax collector’s wedding to his wife, Abby Greenberg. Before he was elected to office in 2016, Joel Greenberg paid to broadcast a local sports-themed radio show, and Ellicott would sometimes appear as “Big Joe.”

After Greenberg assumed office, he hired Ellicott and other friends in a spending spree that went against his campaign promise to end “crony capitalism,” according to one of the numerous Orlando Sentinel stories that detailed the dysfunction and corruption that unfolded on Greenberg’s watch. Ellicott, who ran a collectibles store and lived with his mother, had no experience in taxation or government matters but earned a $97,248 annual salary as assistant deputy tax collector.

As scandals engulfed Greenberg, Ellicott was accused of sexually harassing a woman who worked in the Seminole County tax collecting office. The woman sent the office a letter on Aug. 28, 2019, threatening to sue over the alleged harassment that listed a host of inappropriate comments Ellicott allegedly made to her, including “how much he wants sex from young women,” and “how he uses women sexually when they are in desperate situations such as a young student or a single mom,” according to a copy of the letter.

Travis R. Hollifield, the attorney representing the sexual harassment victim, said the case resulted in a “a quick legal settlement” three months later for $40,000. The case has not been previously reported.

“I can only speculate they had an interest in ensuring this didn’t end up in the press. At the time, there was negative press swirling around that office,” Hollifield said.

According to federal records in the case and interviews with associates of Greenberg and Gaetz, Greenberg met women on the SeekingArrangement website for “sugar babies” looking to be introduced to “sugar daddies,” who would pay their expenses. Greenberg, mutual friends said, introduced Gaetz to women he met on the site. However, they said, when the North Florida congressman was visiting the Central Florida politician, the two would not associate with other men, including Ellicott.

The grand jury subpoena mentioning Ellicott, Greenberg and Gaetz by name also listed a fourth person: Halsey Beshears, a former state House member who served with Gaetz in the state Legislature. Beshears also served as the secretary of the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation but resigned that position amid the investigation tied to a Bahamas trip he took with Gaetz and other women.

The subpoena seeks any documents and communications the individual had with Beshears. It specifically requested photographs, videos, documents and “communications with or records of payment to or from any women you met through the above individuals or who attended parties, gatherings, or events also attended by you and any of the above individuals from January 2016 to the present."

Under federal law, it’s illegal to transport a person across state lines for the purposes of engaging in prostitution. One of the women on the trip, granted anonymity to shield her from harassment, previously said none of the women were prostitutes and everyone was of age. A different federal law also prohibits having sex with a person under 18 connected to a commercial transaction.

Greenberg resigned his office June 24, 2020, the day after authorities arrested him for sending the letter falsely accusing the schoolteacher. When he was arrested, federal agents found he was in possession of fake IDs that he made in his tax collector’s office. Subsequent indictments accused him of ID theft, sex-trafficking the minor, stealing local tax dollars in a cryptocurrency scheme and defrauding the federal government’s Covid relief act to help small businesses.

Greenberg pleaded guilty to six criminal counts involving each of those crimes.

Greenberg admitted to the last scheme involving Covid relief money by reactivating a media company he used for “The Joel Greenberg Show” that sometimes featured “Big Joe” Ellicott. According to federal documents, Greenberg used the media company to fraudulently obtain hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal Covid relief funds.

While Greenberg instantly quit his job after his indictment, Ellicott was able to keep his for months. He was let go after his contract expired on Sept. 30, 2020, according to the tax collector’s office.

“I’m not surprised he kept his job after he harassed my client,” said Hollifield. “What I’ve learned throughout all these scandals is nothing really surprises me.”

Ominous Sign For Rep. Matt Gaetz As Investigation Reportedly Takes New Turn

 
 
Ed Mazza
·Overnight Editor, HuffPost
Thu, June 3, 2021, 5:28 AM
 
 

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) is being investigated for possible obstruction of justice during a phone call with a witness in an ongoing probe, Politico reported late Wednesday.

Citing two sources, Politico said Gaetz took part in a call with an ex-girlfriend and the witness. That witness reportedly later spoke with prosecutors, who are now exploring whether Gaetz suggested that the person lie or mislead investigators, which would be a crime.

Gaetz has not been charged and has denied all allegations.

Gaetz is reportedly under investigation in a federal sex trafficking probe examining whether he and others paid for sex at drug-fueled parties, including with a 17-year-old girl. His former wingman, ex-local tax collector Joel Greenberg, agreed to cooperate with investigators under a recent plea deal in which he pleaded guilty to six federal charges, including sex trafficking of a child.

Greenberg’s attorney, Fritz Scheller, was asked last month if his client would be giving up the goods on any elected officials.

“This is must-see television,” Scheller replied. “You’ll have to wait and see.”

As he spoke, an airplane flew over the courthouse with a banner reading “TICK TOCK MATT GAETZ.”

In the past, Gaetz has claimed the investigation was part of an extortion plot against him. He also told Axios that he was “generous as a partner” to the women he dated and that people were “trying to make that look criminal when it is not.”
