Tucker Carlson is now trying to distance himself from his buddy, too funny:

Tucker Carlson livid after Rep. Matt Gaetz tries to rope him into controversy, source says

Fox News host Tucker Carlson was angered after Congressman Matt Gaetz attempted to rope him into a scandal involving allegations related to sex trafficking of a minor, a person familiar with the matter said.
"It pissed him off," the person familiar with the matter explained to CNN on Wednesday.
Gaetz, who has strongly denied allegations that he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and paid for her travel with him, seemed to attempt to draw Carlson into the controversy during a bizarre Tuesday night interview. -snip



Gaetz claims he's actually the victim:

Rep. Gaetz Denies Allegation, Claims He's Victim Of Extortion Plot

Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, a controversial conservative and boisterous ally of former President Donald Trump's, confirmed Tuesday he is being investigated by the Department of Justice over sexual misconduct but denied the allegations tied to the probe. -snip

Interesting.

Gaetz showed lawmakers nude photos of women he claimed to have slept with: report

Two sources, who claim they were shown the material directly, said that the photos were "a point of pride" for Gaetz.

The sources also told the news outlet that Gaetz, 38, showed them the photos while conducting business on the House floor, adding that the Florida lawmaker displayed the images on his phone and talked about having sex with the women. -snip




*giggles*

If this were a Democrat, the Republicans would be demanding he step down due to unprofessional and not being inline with "family values".

Seems Matt Gaetz sought a blanket preemptive pardon from Trump, shortly before Trump had to leave office.

Could Gaetz not come up with the money?

I think he was aware that he was being investigated and fully aware of the sex trafficking of underage girls he paid to have sex with.

I always felt there was something off about Gaetz, and now this surfaces. Slimey scumbag of a man who looks like a pig.

That's how it works. When Democrats do dirt, other Dems tend to ignore it when Republicans pounce. When Republicans do dirt, other Pubs tends to ignore it while Democrats pounce. It's all about teams

Al Franklin
Harvey Weinstein
and now Cuomo

I'm not saying the Democrats are perfect but to pretend they go above and beyond for their people like the Republicans do is just not true.

You can also see this in how these scandals get covered by media. Fox news covers Brett Kavanough different than they covered Cuomo. While news outlets like CNN and MSN covered both scenarios with the same level of detail following similar journalistic templates.

To pretend these discrepancies between the groups doesn't exist is just a conservative ploy.

So the sex trafficker and general all around scumbag Joel Greenberg, who Gaetz used to have sex with underage girls, has taken a plea deal.

A former local official in Florida facing an array of federal charges in an inquiry that is also focused on Representative Matt Gaetz was expected to plead guilty, lawyers said in court on Thursday, an indication that the defendant is likely to cooperate as a key witness against Mr. Gaetz. -snip



Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger is the first Republican to finally break ranks and is calling for Gaetz to resign.

Kinzinger is the representative of the district in which I grew up. He is the only kind of Republican who can get elected here.

Damn Eon didn't last long

Seems he spent his whole morning telling various people who upset him to go kill themselves.

Women detail drug use, sex and payments after late-night parties with Gaetz and others

The behavior of Gaetz and the other high-powered men at the events, and a pattern of digital payments that followed, will likely be items of interest to the Justice Department as part of its probe of Gaetz that includes allegations of sex trafficking and prostitution.

Federal investigators are examining whether Gaetz engaged in a relationship with a woman that began when she was 17, according to people familiar with the investigation. The investigators have also pursued allegations from witnesses and other evidence that Gaetz may have used cash and drugs in his dealings with the young women. -snip




While Gaetz is trying to distract with the typical nonsense of his ilk:


"We are working to eradicate the Deep State at the Post Office." -Matt Gaetz via Twitter 5/04/2021

Feds tighten grip in Gaetz probe

The announcement of a change-of-plea hearing for Joel Greenberg puts additional pressure on the congressman.

MIAMI - Federal investigators are intensifying their sex-crimes probe of Rep. Matt Gaetz as they discuss a potential immunity arrangement with his former girlfriend and have struck a tentative deal with his one-time "wingman" who will likely plead guilty, according to multiple people familiar with the situation. -snip



Seems like Greenberg will be turning state's evidence

I don't generally try to get satisfaction from people falling down hard but man I can't think of anyone more deserving of this than the person who spewed so much venom at people asking for help.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with experiencing a little schadenfreude when the person is a vile piece of shit.

Joel Greenberg, the former Seminole County tax collector who pleaded guilty to six federal crimes in May, has asked a judge to delay his sentencing until March 2022 as he continues to cooperate with federal authorities.

Greenberg is currently slated to be sentenced November 18th, but in a newly filed motion, his attorney Fritz Scheller said that Greenberg's cooperation with investigators, which was a condition of his plea deal "cannot be completed prior to the time of his sentencing."

"The parties expect that Mr. Greenberg will participate in additional proffers, and a continuance would provide Mr. Greenberg with additional time to do so prior to his sentencing," the motion states.

"as he continues to cooperate with federal authorities."

Joel Greenberg, a Florida tax collector who sources say agreed to cooperate in the federal probe into his one-time close associate, Republican Representative Matt Gaetz, was sentenced Thursday to 11 years in prison after pleading guilty to crimes ranging from wire fraud to sex trafficking a minor.

Greenberg pleaded guilty last May to six of the 33 federal charges he was facing, including charges of stalking, identity theft, wire fraud, and conspiracy to bribe a public official, as well as one charge of sex trafficking.

Greenberg reached a plea deal with investigators in May 2021 in which he agreed to provide "substantial assistance" to prosecutors as part of their ongoing investigation into Gaetz and others, according to sources familiar with the arrangement.

If that is the sentence he received for cooperating, just imagine what they have on Gaetz.

Cucks

Yaaaassss. Oneness is BACK!!!

he'll "hang himself" in prison, of course. another not-assassination to protect another republican from justice

Republican sex trafficker Joel Greenberg is going to prison for 11 years

Really hope they're able to get Republican Matt Gaetz as well with at least the sex trafficking charge, paying to have sex with an underage girl and her illegal transport for said purposes. Tucker Carlson will be spinning harder than ever if that happens.

I suspect Gaetz will weasel out of it though.

i already called it. now just wait and watch...

DOJ officially decides not to charge Matt Gaetz in sex-trafficking probe



While expected, it still sucks that Republican Matt Gaetz used his power and influence to weasel his way out of justice. Rightist are rejoining in their victory.

Not the first time a Republican child rapist served in congress. Dennis Hastert served as the Republican Speaker of the House from 1999-2007 (longest serving Republican SotH), second in line to be POTUS, right behind the VP and he was a serial child molester/rapist. Was only years after he dropped out of politics that his past caught up to him.

Clearly they realized there was nothing there, and appropriately decided against wasting yet more tax money on another witch hunt.

The issue is that the underage girl he flew to a foreign country to have sex with is not cooperating. You only get one bite at the apple, so they are not going to charge him unless they can make it stick.

And why isn't this then underage sexual victim of Republican Matt Gaetz not cooperating? Threats? Paid off? She's afraid? Probably a bit of each.

Because her story is full of holes maybe?

She may have been paid or believe she will be rewarded for her silence. She may fear being identified or incrimminating herself. The are any number of reasons.

yes all these possibilities exist apart from the probably that she was threatened

Prosecutors recommended against charging Gaetz months ago because of witness credibility issues.

The problem isn't about her suddenly and mysteriously refusing to cooperate. It's that she's likely to get torn apart with little weight given to her evidence, and the other key witness is a criminal whose credibility will be easy for defence attorneys to attack.

Maybe she was threatened, who knows, but it's no secret that there's nothing more thankless than being a witness to a sexual crimes trial.

Originally posted by Smurph
If she lacks credibility, then cooperation isn't the issue.

Particularly on a criminal standard of proof.

Cooperation is a precedent to credibility. If she refuses to testify, then the reliability of her testimony cannot even be examined.

Her credibility is in question insofar as it is for any sexual assualt victim. The defense will argue that because she was under the influence of substances that the perpetrator provided, that her recollection of events is not reliable. Never mind that he necessarily would have had to traffick her and provide her with the substances for that to be the case.

She could be a credible witness if she was prepared for cross-examination, but that requires her cooperation.

Be very literal. Only answer the question that was asked, using as few words as possible.

The House Ethics Committee restarting the investigation into Representative Matt Gaetz is the latest legal problem for the controversial Florida Republican. The panel has not decided whether to move ahead with a special investigative subcommittee. That would require a vote by the Ethics Committee members and would be publicly disclosed.

But committee investigators have been looking into the allegations surrounding the fourth-term lawmaker. The Justice Department told Gaetz's lawyers earlier this year that he would not be charged in a federal sex trafficking investigation involving underage girls. Since the DOJ did not charge Gaetz, and is no longer scrutinizing him, the Ethics Committee is free to conduct its own investigation.

Do you think Republican Matt Gaetz will have to paid/threaten his then underage sexual victim to not cooperate again, or will it be covered on this second go around?

I think they may not need her cooperation this time around.

At least one witness in Florida said they have spoken to investigators about the Republican congressman in recent weeks about lobbying violations, and sources familiar with the Ethics Committee probe say other witnesses also have been contacted.

A source familiar with the House panel's work said that the Justice Department's decision not to bring charges against Gaetz does not impact what the committee will and will not investigate.

There's a 100% chance Republican Matt Gaetz engaged in sexual misconduct (with minors), illicit drug use, and other misconduct while in office. 100%.

McCarthy has come out and said that Matt Gaetz put in the vote of no confidence, because he refused to help squash the still ongoing Matt Gaetz ethics investigation regarding allegations of sexual misconduct, illicit drug use and campaign finance violations as well as taking bribes.

If Republicans had cut Gaetz out like the tumor he is back in 2021, they wouldn't be in predicament they are now. They did threaten to expel him on Oct 2nd, but he called their bluff.

They're all deplorables.

Congressional House Ethics investigators have obtained text messages showing that a few months after joining Congress, Reoublican Representative Matt Gaetz asked a young woman, who at the time had received payments for sex from Gaetz's then-close friend Joel Greenberg, to join him and others on a three-day trip to the Florida Keys in May 2017.

In the text messages, the then-freshman congressman appeared to message a woman, asking if she would fly on a private plane to the Florida Keys for a trip with Gaetz, three other women, and one other man. Gaetz said that the trip would feature "2 guys, 4 girls. A very high-quality adventurous group," according to the messages.

When do we get to the point where Republican and sex trafficker Matt Gaetz finds Jesus again and forgives himself?

When it was reported on Wednesday that the House Ethics Committee had acquired text messages between a young woman involved in the sex trafficking investigation and Republican Representative Matt Gaetz, a Gaetz spokesperson said that the congressman "does not know anything about the woman you're referencing."

That seems extraordinarily unlikely, considering that this woman told prosecutors in 2021 that she had sex with Gaetz at a drug-fueled party that she was paid to attend, according to the woman's attorney. This attorney said on Thursday that the woman, in fact, received payments in connection with multiple sex parties with people in Gaetz's circle.

"She told them that she and lots of girls were provided all kinds of controlled substances at these parties," the lawyer said, confirming a number of news reports about the gatherings.
