The times people are just outright crooks!

So a guy he knew, did something bad, and now it’s getting pinned on Gaetz????

Pathetic losers!

FBI/DOJ ginning up fake news, so they can use it as cover for opposition research investigation and to try and smear Gaetz.

Times, wa-post and the fake media cabal, all need to be prosecuted for fraud and criminal conspiracy!

So, the guy who wanted to cut a deal by implicating Gaetz, has “credibility” according to the NYTs.

To be fair, the guy didn’t name any names in his plea agreement, but his attorney has already said that he’s talking about Gaetz.

He was already in jail and is now just cutting a deal on new charges to get out.

“Joel Greenbergdid not implicate Mr. Gaetz by name in papers filed by prosecutors in Federal District Court in Orlando.”

Well, that’s good to know isn’t it? And it backs up Gaetz’s claims that he was not involved.

But, wait there is more to this reporter’s story, Folks.

“Mr. Greenberg has told investigators that Mr. Gaetz had sex with the girl and knew that she was being paid, according to a person briefed on the inquiry.”

Huh? How is this newsworthy, if he didn’t implicate Gaetz in any court documents?

He doesn’t name Gaetz or anyone else by name in the plea agreement. That’s not required in a plea agreement. But he and his attorney have already acknowledged that he’s talking about Gaetz.

Greenburg: Gaetz didn’t do anything wrong
Prosecutor: You aren’t cooperating
But he didn’t do anything wrong
You are not cooperating
OK, what if I said he did do something?
You could be cooperating.

The scum guilt by innuendo game. They really like that game when it comes to Republicans.

The Ministry of Truth is going after Gaetz, Giuliani, Toensing and as many conservatives as possible right now.

Running camouflage during the election audits is a primary focus of the DNC/CCP.

" . . . told investigators that Mr. Gaetz had sex with the girl and knew that she was being paid . . . "

That's kind of an odd phrasing - "and knew that she was being paid." That suggests that Gaetz himself wasn't paying her, but someone else was. Who would that be, and why? Who pays for someone else's prostitute?

The problem is that Democrats have been offering tutorials on how to weather these storms. Just refuse to resign.

Who says this guy is a "former confidant of Gaetz"?

I do not see anything in the article to substantiate this claim, other than an unnamed source "briefed on the inquiry".

That’s all this is.

Anyone see them going after Hunter? He does this kinda crap all day long, in between selling the government to the ChiComs.

And Orlando / Brevard county has this crap going on all the time, cops hardly pay any attention. Beach cities especially.

It’s the nature of this racket. Politicians, Rep as well as Dem inevitably come in contact with unsavory characters. David Duke spoke highly of Brother Fornicator ILLhan Omar and the fake news media Ignores it. It’s how the pols deal with these relationships that matters.
