If they are having to negotiate a plea agreement with Greene then they don’t have have any actual evidence against Gaetz.
Because they’ve already been through this guy’s financials, phone, email and text records. Shouldn’t they have the testimony of the girl?
I think the “co-operation” is really just making public statements as part of the smear campaign, because if this guy was really so tight with Gaetz then the entanglement in the records would be so clear and obvious they wouldn’t need to make a deal and they would have indicted Gaetz already with the same evidence they indicted this guy with.
You’re looking at the case purely from the perspective of the sex-crimes angle which is understandable because it’s the most salacious and easiest to prove; the girl (or girls) is either of legal age or isn’t. That’s a slam-dunk particularly if they have a cooperating ‘victim.’
But, Greenberg was up to his eyeballs in public corruption charges. The sex-trafficking really only represented a fraction of his criminal exposure.
It’s interesting that the DoJ division that’s doing this investigation isn’t the trafficking division, but rather, the public corruption people. They’re not trying to tie up the loose ends of the Mann Act violations. They’re trying to see if Gaetz - or anyone else for that matter - played any part in or received any benefit from Greenberg’s abuse of office. That’s what’s taking so long. Public corruption cases take forever.
