How A Thrice-Indicted Seminole County Tax Collector Landed Matt Gaetz In Hot Water | Talking Points Memo

Joel Greenberg’s court record looks like a CVS receipt. 

The former Seminole County, Florida tax collector is in trouble — big trouble. Multiple-superseding-indictments trouble. And, as the world learned yesterday, he’s managed to drag his friend, the die-hard Trump supporting congressman Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) into the spotlight with him.

Scumbags, one and all.

Unsurprisingly Gaetz also voted against a Child Anti Trafficking bill in 2017.

If there’s something sleazy happening in FL, look for the fingerprints of Roger Stone.

There are crooks and perverts everywhere, but they seem to concentrate among those who claim to be pious, patriotic and family oriented.

This may wipe that constipated look off one so called talk show host.

Matt Gaetz is perfectly capable of landing himself in hot water. He needs no help.

I don’t think anyone’s mentioned it yet, so I will. As a fan of jazz, I’m really Gaetz has that “a” in his name.

Greenberg, Gaetz et al come across as upper-middle class goodfellas: not as gritty and murderous as the Scorsese working class version perhaps but just as nasty with additional doses of nihilism and self-righteous posturing.

It’s one of his commandments, “Do as I say, and not what I do”. I think it’s number 666 or something…

This story just keeps on giving. I wonder who else is going to get rolled up in it!

Gotta follow the links on this one.

“Auditors also questioned the $15,000 spent on for sprinkler heads at the Casselberry branch that could be operated remotely and pointed at petition gatherers.”

Anyway, I think we have our first serious candidates for this year’s Golden Dukes, though we’ll obviously have to see out things shake out to determine whether Greenberg and Gaetz are sharing a ballot line or competing for the honors.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

When do Epstein and T**** get exposed for their “participation”?

When Rachel ran down all the crap Greenberg pulled what first caught my attention was that he got married while he was campaigning for the tax collector’s office. In and of it’s self is nothing to make the news about, but when you line up the shady, underhanded shit Greenberg was doing I had to wonder how did he have time to be with his girlfriend/fiancee, plan a wedding, campaign, get married, and pretend to be someone else on Twitter, all at the same time?

Gaetz tells us that there are photos of him with underage prostitutes. Something to look forward to.
