If I recall correctly from the manafort and flynn plea “deals”, the documents won’t detail what greenberg has told or agreed to tell the feds, there will just be a vague allusion to cooperation. But there will be lots of juicy details about the crimes he is pleading guilty to. He has 33 indictments, we’ll learn something from which ones he has to plead to and which are held in abeyance.

Gaetzie’s feeling a bit sweaty and like his collar is too tight. So, a regular Thursday.

They never reveal that information.

But no plea deal would have been offered to Greenberg if he had not given the Feds a shit-ton of damaging information (which the Feds have verified before offering the deal) so Gaetz should be assumed to be soiling himself hourly as the panic sets in.

This feels rather like watching the Rose Parade on New Years day. The show is varied and entertaining, and some guys with brooms and a street cleaner show up afterward to lean up the mess.

And, if we’re very fortunate, we will finally be rid of one of the most irrelevant and toxic characters in the GOP side of congress.

While this feels like good news, I’m so damned old, I recall the story of the Football Team Owner who was arrested at a massage parlor, and then, later, he was let off the hook with no punishment, but the women who worked there were all jailed.

So, I’m fully prepared for this plea deal to lead to arrests and convictions for prostitution, and not much more.

Gaetz is done. If he’s charged, and we hear nothing from him (for a change), that’ll tell you he’s hoping to proffer and flip on Fat Don. It’ll take a while, so everybody just hold onto your ass and wait out these treason weasels.

OT but important.

Two of President Biden’s nominees to the USPS Board of Governors have been confirmed by the Senate. Just one more to go. Louis DeJoy’s days are numbered.

and at least one of the women had her life savings confiscated (it was in cash, in a safe deposit box). There’s a damned good reason none of the women in the gaetz/greenberg scandal will want to co-operate.

Yes, he’s a dead man walking. Damn that feels good. Can we flip him to take down Taylor-Greene and/or Boebert??

With this bit of news I’m hoping for the time when the name, Gaetz, is beyond ignominy and forgotten, the person incarcerated and his family humiliated.
