An associate of Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz and a key figure into the federal probe against him pleaded guilty Monday to multiple crimes, including sex trafficking of a 17-year-old, according to news reports.

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.

Difficult for normal red blooded males to turn away sex from a hot young (over 18) gal and DC has some of the hottest women on the planet living there.

Yes, we are certainly "hardwired" that way, and we all know guys who seem to have zero self control when it comes to sex. But we also have a brain, a soul and a conscience, and there are a LOT of us men who have never lowered themselves to sleeping with prostitutes even if someone else was paying. Gaetz was 37 at the time, and should have had some impulse control. I hope that is the case, but it's not looking good.

Yep- lets talk about the pic of naked Hunter with the 14 year old niece. The one he admitted to him being banned from seeing her because of being sexually inappropriate. And throw in the illegal gun scandal while you are at it.

I guess you completely missed the part where I wrote “If, as they claimed...” I’m not pushing, or accepting anything the feds say.

I think “associate” means an hourly employee at Wal-Mart.

LOL. You keep coming back for more I see. You just can’t leave it alone. It’s ok. You didn’t communicate clearly or didn’t know what flipped meant. It’s not the end of the world. It happens. Just move on...we’ll all live.

He was already in jail for other counts.

He’s just trying to get out.

The government can get innocent people to plead guilty if they bankrupt the person and make enough threats. Right, General Flynn?

The associate used his contacts to look up her drivers license to find out her age.

A 30 something year old man with even an 18 year old is not a good look.

It’s not fair. But if Gaetz and this guy did this it’s still wrong.

I also find timing of his sudden engagement odd. The girl should run.

Some men are just plain stupid. Think with their wrong body part.

RE: Gaetz is just another young single horny politician who when pretty young gals offered him services he could not turn them down. I have no problem with that other than the alleged 17 year old.

Does one have to first ask the girl’s age and know the age of consent in the state you’re in everytime a service is offered?

What if she’s lying? Do you ask her to show an Id?

Time to change the name of the GOP to the Workers Party

Someone who once took a selfie with Gaetz at a Church social.

Well, you can bet they’re working overtime trying to flip him.

That would have come before the guilty plea. What, if anything, he had to use in order to get a reduction in his sentence will all come out eventually.

All they want is people to question or doubt

I wish that this is all they want. They also want people to be very afraid to have any associations with a MAGA Republican.

No it wouldn’t and I’m betting Joel Greenberg is tumbling around like a Mexican jumping bean as I type. Matt’s in deep sushi.

No it wouldn’t...

Sure it would. The prosecution is not going to sign off on a plea deal without first knowing what they will get in return.

... and I’m betting Joel Greenberg is tumbling around like a Mexican jumping bean as I type. Matt’s in deep sushi.

No disagreement there.
