Gaetz Buddy’s Plea Agreement Reveals New Sex Trafficking Details | Talking Points Memo

So, can the downward departures (pending the quality of greenberg’s “cooperation”) mentioned later in the document bring his sentence below that 10 year minimum, at the judge’s discretion?

2/3rds of them have a sex scandal of one type or another which is just one pissed-off ex or one nosy reporter away from being uncovered.

They won’t speak up about Matt because they’re too busy thinking, “There, but for the Grace of God, go I…”

If he was using his county credit card for this, the state will probably be coming after him too.

Not that likely, any indictment of gaetz is pending more on the feds getting corroborating witnesses and/or evidence, because greenberg’s testimony alone isn’t enough to convict.

Extremely unlikely gaetz offs himself, he’s not the type. The woman who could convict him with her testimony on the other hand… whether or not she’s the type, the women often seem to end up dead, mayflower madam style.

Queen Elizabeth is not pleased that the feds have kept too close an eye on Ghislaine for her agents to deal with her.

Well, some people have been known to kill themselves without actually having, um, killed themselves.

Looks like Matt Gaetz is going down, er, to jail.

What struck me upon reading this is how the girl and the young women were treated as commodities, goods to be used and or traded as they wished.

Scummy doesn’t begin to describe these assholes.

“Commercial sex acts.” Nice euphemism for group-shtupping a minor transported across state lines in exchange for transportation, cash, alcohol and drugs. The only question remaining is who went first, or was it a threesome.

So it appears that the sex trafficking charge that will soon be taking down Rep. Gaetz is “interstate commerce” because they hooked up via website and cell phone. And they didn’t have to prove he knew her actual age because he had “reasonable opportunity to observe” her.

Also:

Almost certainly. Could be a family source too, but it doesn’t sound like he has any left at this point.

In the agreement, Greenberg admitted to having paid more than $70,000 for sex, across 150 separate transactions.

Wow, that’s just sad. He’s young, rich, had a little bit of power, connections to prominent people, and still couldn’t find someone to sleep with him for free. This is Florida we’re talking about where a lot of attractive young women go to meet rich guys.

That, and we really don’t know the scope of the investigation into Gaetz. We’re assuming it’s limited to his sexcapades with minors, but a high-profile congressman screwing teenagers and engaging in all the various behavior he has is likely up to all kinds of other bad business. He seems like the type where the authorities could spend years investigating without ever reaching the totality of his criminality, where they just have to eventually stop because they’ve got him on enough to put him away for a very long time.

I’m not proud of it but one of the things I enjoy most in life is seeing the smirk get wiped off a rich punk’s face.
