Former Gaetz Confidant Is Sentenced to 11 Years in Prison www.nytimes.com
...Mr. Greenberg has told federal authorities that he witnessed Mr. Gaetz have sex with the 17-year-old girl and that she was paid. In documents filed in connection with Mr. Greenberg's sentencing, the Justice Department said he had "provided truthful and timely information" that led to the charging of at least four other people and "provided substantial assistance on other matters" that the government would address only in a sealed filing....

"guilty to underage sex-trafficking"
Oh good so they'll be old enough to turn out as adults when he gets out.

Don't worry. Florida Republicans are doing everything the can to prevent statutory rape in Florida.
By making sure teachers don't hang rainbows in kindergarten classrooms, Matt Gaetz will never be able to sex traffic your daughters, ever again!

Greenberg's lawyer is miffed and mystified that Gaetz hasn't been prosecuted:
NEW: Greeneberg's lawyer tells @DeadlineWH there are "a lot more witnesses (to the sex trafficking a minor for Gaetz) than Greenberg and the minor."

It appears most of you missed this news on Gaetz. The DOJ dropped their probe on him.

Redial, because the article from CNBC back in September literally says the DOJ dropped their probe of him regarding this matter. Reading comprehension helps (so does clicking the link).

gaetz's treatment so far strikes me as a sad statement of the reality of unequal treatment under the law. If he skates, without so much as an indictement, it will be an even greater travesty. gaetz isn't even rich (as in the Sacklers) or famous (by any stretch of the imagination).

@#9 ... the article from CNBC back in September literally says the DOJ dropped their probe of him regarding this matter ...
From the CNBC article...
... Federal prosecutors have recommended not to bring charges against Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz as part of a sex trafficking investigation, The Washington Post reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. The prosecutors said they made that decision in part because of credibility questions with two central witnesses, those people told the Post. The reported recommendation means the Department of Justice is unlikely to charge Gaetz, 40, with a crime as a result of the probe. ...

Yes, it does.
Maybe your current alias should try it some time...

What the hell do you think that means Lamplighter? It means your pipe dream of him being charged for something he didn't do ISN'T happening.

"something he didn't do"
Facts not in evidence.

When you use the phrase "literally says," it is not about what it means, it is about what, exactly, it says.
Your interpretation of what it means is different from what it literally says.
What it literally says is that the prosecutors have recommended not to bring charges forward because one of the two witnesses may not be credible, and the other is Mr Greenberg.
What I think it means...
So far, the DoJ has not said anything about their decision, but if this report about the prosecutors' recommendation is correct, then I think the DoJ will not proceed with the charges.

It does, but you'll never get conservatives to agree to providing the poor with the same tools that the rich have in court. That tool being the money to pay the lawyers.

Um, this thread isn't about Gaetz.

Redial, go reread Gal Tuesday's comment. My initial reply was in reference to her claim that this guy was trafficking for Gaetz and again that has been proven incorrect.

Why was he asking for pardons for something he didn't do?
A pardon is an admission of guilt.
Your party was supposed to be the warriors against pedophiles and groomers. Why aren't you attacking this groomer who drugged, paid, and screwed a 17 year old girl?

His pardon request is proof that he committed a crime. What crimes are you willing to overlook due to him being a fellow cult member of yours? Attempting to overthrow democracy, or just drugging and paying a child for sex?
#22 | Posted by SpeakSoftly at 2022-12-02 01:11 PM | Reply
Show me proof where he "drugged and raped a child." The problem is you can't and even the Justice Department agrees with the fact it didn't happen.

His wingman Joel Greenberg was an eye witness and testified to it under oath.
Why do YOU think gaetz was asking for pardons?

Um that's what sworn testimony is stupid.
Again, why was he asking for pardons? You think it was for the coup, the rape, or both?

@#26 ... why was he asking for pardons? ...
Consciousness of guilt?
The problem that the prosecutors seem to say they have is that the witnesses were not solid enough for then to be sure enough of a conviction.

Legally if we're going off of accusations alone ... You voted for a man who showered religiously with his prepubescent daughter. The difference between Gaetz and Biden is that only one person has the victim admitting it happened.

@#31
My guess is that #29 and #30 will be along the lines of the investigations the House Republicans will be trying to perform.
The pure lack of investigative skills of Republicans seems astonishing.
I mean, aside from the Benghazi fiasco, what percentage of the election fraud cases did Republicans win for the 2020 election? Has it gone above zero yet?
