Gaetz associate expected to plead guilty in federal case
WASHINGTON (AP) — A key figure in the federal investigation of Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz is expected to plead guilty to criminal charges next week.
Joel Greenberg will appear Monday in federal court in Orlando, Florida, for a change of plea hearing, according to court documents. He had been
toward a deal with federal prosecutors who are investigating sex trafficking and public corruption allegations.
The plea potentially escalates the legal and political jeopardy the Florida congressman is facing and signals that Greenberg could potentially serve as a witness in the Justice Department’s investigation into Gaetz.
Federal prosecutors are examining whether Gaetz and Greenberg paid underage girls or offered them gifts in exchange for sex, according to people familiar with the matter. Gaetz has vehemently denied the allegations and any wrongdoing and insists he will not resign his seat in Congress.
Major flaw I can see in Gaetz and others like Prince Andrew...they should (heavily) vet their escorts before they use 'em.
Like...ask for ID & do background checks on them?
Underage is a no-no in today's social environment.
As the saying goes, "16 gets you 30" and costs a guy something "not awful Purdy".
The major flaw is that its treated differently depending on what political affiliation they have.
If it's a democrat/prog.....there is NO accountability. There isnt even public and media outrage. Democrats only care about rape if the victim gets pregnant and can be used as an abortion argument OR the rapist is a Republican.
I think they think if a right winger rapes it's some sort of hypocrisy because they know right standards are higher and more is expected of them. And democrat rapes it's just normal and expected.
Leave it to leftists to turn rape into a political issue instead of just a shit bag issue. They wont even wait for evidence if they thinks it's some sort of ammo to attack on a partisan brainwashed level. The partisan hackery knows no boundaries. They don't even know Republicans and conservatives are not the same thing.
Maybe they are just mad that people have values and they dont think anyone should be allowed to have values that dont align with theirs.
Who knows. They never talk. Pointing out the sociopathic level of hypocrisy is probably a waste because they dont care if they are hypocrites. They are locked into a belief that anything their "side" does for an upper hand is acceptable because they are "fighting evil".....the way authoritarians always think. It's all acceptable because in their minds they are righteous warriors fighting evil.
So Biden committing sexual assault is bad.....but the "stakes are high" in their fight against "evil". So they'll tolerate it. They dont really like Biden or democrat politicains but since Democrats oppose "CON" and "Repukes!" publically they will tolerate evil on that spectrum because they view us as a worse threat. Or a worse evil....or whatever. So they dont care about the hypocrisy. Only we care about that because we havent lost touch with humanity.
What Deport said....the enemy of your enemy is you friend. They see us as the enemy.
