Washington Post: Gaetz bragged about 'access' to women through Florida tax collector charged in federal case
The Hill ^ | 04/02/21 11:30 PM EDT | BY TAL AXELROD

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) reportedly bragged to people involved in Florida politics that he had met women through a county tax collector who has since been hit with federal sex trafficking charges.

Two people who heard his comments directly told The Washington Post that Gaetz had also showed them videos of nude women on his phone. Some of the videos were from parties with former Seminole County tax collector Joel Greenberg.

The sources said the women in the videos appeared to be adults.

“Matt was never shy about talking about his relationship to Joel and the access to women that Joel provided him,” one of the sources told the Post. “What these videos implied was that there was something of a sexual nature going on with everyone.”

The Hill has reached out to Gaetz's office for comment.

The claims from sources are the latest about Gaetz, who gained national attention for his vocal support for former President Trump. However, the Florida lawmaker now finds his career threatened by several allegations.

The New York Times first reported this week that the Department of Justice is investigating him for an alleged inappropriate relationship with a minor and a possible violation of sex trafficking laws.

A subsequent report from the times stated that the investigation surrounding Gaetz also involves cash paid to women that were reportedly recruited for sex online. The probe into Gaetz involves Greenberg who allegedly met women online on websites for dates in exchange for gifts and travel.

According to the Times, messages and interviews indicate that Greenberg and Gaetz directed women to meet them at specific times and locations and laid out money for compensation. People familiar with the matter also told the Times that the ecstasy was also involved.

Greenberg has been charged with sex trafficking of a child and providing payment to people, including a minor, for providing sex.

Gaetz has denied any relationship with an underage girl and said he and his family are being targeted by a former DOJ official seeking millions of dollars in exchange for making the accusations vanish.

The latest report is not the first claiming that Gaetz has displayed pictures of women with whom he’s claimed to have had sexual relations.

CNN reported this week that the lawmaker showed photos of nude women who he claimed he had sex with to other lawmakers, including on the House floor.

So the ComPost agrees that sex trafficking and pedophilia is bad, right? Because if we’re playing by the Left’s rules, then Gaetz should get a medal and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for doing this.

Name names. Who’s watching porn on the House floor? And it’s amazing how all of this has completely drowned out Cummo’s problems.

Gracious me. There are adult women who accept favors and even cash in exchange for consensual sex. There used to be a word for them and it was not “innocent victim.”

The Hill are a bunch is 29 yr old Activists that live off Hate.

Some RINOs get off on telling them tales during secret lunches.

Was it 260 or 270 different secret settlements just for Congressional Staff, over $17 Million paid out, all Secret.

You won’t find Liz Cheney, McCarthy, or Romney talking about the open affairs and secret Settlements paid by the Taxpayers.

That was my thought exactly. And had these been men instead of women, they would have had to celebrate him. In fact, as upside down as our world has gotten it won’t be long before anyone the Left wants to smear is attacked on the basis of exhibiting heterosexual attraction.

This Hill reporter activist also wrote the article saying that Trump was being investigated (in a Uber-serious Investigation) for taking money to Pardon peeps.

He’s more of the Hill absolute trash.

Unnamed sources say that Washington Post “journalists” beat their spouses and are mean to puppies.

Whatever happened to “anonymous sources”? Now we just have “people.” Congress has a hush money fund devoted exclusively to paying off sexual allegations. “He had sex with to (sic) other lawmakers, including on the House floor.” Senators Ted Kennedy and Christopher Dodd were discreet enough to have their “waitress sandwich” on a table and not on the floor of La Brasserie. It is really disgusting what “people” are saying about Tal Axelrod and those photos he is flashing of naked little boys. what do the Crazed sex poodle, Carlos danger, and Client 9 have to say about it?
