The associate, Joel Greenberg, a former Florida tax collector, pleaded guilty to six federal counts in a case that sparked a federal investigation into Gaetz. The congressman has denied any wrongdoing.

Even if it’s not true and Gaetz wasn’t involved...the Dems don’t care because they’ve weakened his power already and will keep this in the press indefinately to cause him to be ineffective....which is their goal....if they can’t shut you up they’ll take you down at the knee.

Nope. That’s not flipping someone. Flipping someone is getting someone that has real dirt to testify truthfully.

What you wrote is the gov’t someone to say what they want them to say for a lighter sentence.

Birds of a feather usually flock together.

Try using thwt as evidence in court and see where that gets you.

I have never done drugs and other than a few speeding tickets never commited any crimes and I don't hang around or associate with people who do.

Now you are beginning to sound like Beria's NKVD.
Never done drugs or even smoked cigarettes in my life, yet I have known plenty of people who have done illegal drugs. Bill Clinton, Obama and Kamara Harris come to mind. Why don't you go arrest them?

Isn't Gaetz holding a rollicking political rally with MTG just this week?

All they want is people to question or doubt....and yes there are some who are wondering. Unfortunately not everyone pays attention or are informed.

And of course they will consider all testimony from this guy as GOLD and make plea deals, to take down the pro-life advocate, Gaetz.

“He wasn’t smart enough. He paid off college girls for sex on his public Venmo.”

When he paid them off he put “Food” or “Burgers” in the memo column. In one column after $500 he typed in a**

Not too smart. People get sloppy and never thing records will come back to get ya.

This is the big scandal that was leaked to the press. If, as they claimed, they have money transfers from Gaetz to the teen, airline tickets, and now a witnesses to testify against Gaetz, he's in deep dung. Gaetz seems willing to fight, but the DOJ rarely loses.

You mean like the totally made up Russian collusion crap that the media furiously pushed for 4 years?
You are pushing made up by the corrupt FBI and Dems nonsense.

Absolutely. Some folks among us still don’t know the evil we’re fighting.

The key word here will be knowingly.

Greenberg, what a bum. I guess the adage choose your friends carefully applies here. Greenberg is going to bring down some SBA crook who extorted bribes for an unknown business, a go between too. All in all he will owe more than 600K fro embezzlement from the county and the SBA. I saw nothing that put Gaetz into these pots. I think the issue of the bimbo has shown that IF he boinged her she was 18 at the time. Regardless, he will be lucky to get reelected given this sordid affair.
