At which dinner you will declare your intention to terminate the relationship, natch. For reasons that have nothing whatsoever to do with anything he did or didn't do in bed, and you have no idea why he would think that.sugar magnolia wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 10:19 am 5.

CBS article says he'll be sentenced in approximately nine weeks. Does that mean all the goods have to be spilled by then, if not already?

Not necessarily. If someone is giving substantial cooperation that is still ongoing as the sentencing date is about to arrive, the parties can write a joint motion to the judge asking for an adjournment to allow more time for the defendant to assist the government with whatever else he's helping with. That happened a bunch in the MIke Flynn case, including a sentencing hearing getting underway and the judge nearly passing sentence and then adjourning to allow Flynn more time to cooperate. (That worked out well.)Slim Cognito wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 12:29 pm CBS article says he'll be sentenced in approximately nine weeks.

However, this isn't the Mike Flynn case. While we may see a joint motion for a brief adjournment before sentencing, I don't think there's going to be a ton of that. They need Greenberg to corroborate dates and details, but that shouldn't take all that long.

That was fast. Gaetz went from "I've done nothing wrong", to hiring a lawyer, and now all the sudden Greenberg is a liar. Not sure why Gaetz feels the need to discredit his good friend, but I have a sneaking suspicion he might not be as innocent as he's been claiming.

So, Greenberg has been cooperating with prosecutors since Nov. That's not good for Gaetz. Iirc Gaetz learned of the investigation into him last Dec.As Joel Greenberg stood inside a federal courtroom pleading guilty as part of a cooperation deal with prosecutors, a plane flying outside towed a banner with an ominous message to a prominent ally of the former Seminole County tax collector: “Tick tock Matt Gaetz.”
“Are you pleading guilty because you are guilty?” Magistrate Judge Leslie R. Hoffman asked Greenberg.
“I am,” he replied.
He could be sentenced to at least 12 years in prison. Greenberg will be required to register as a sex offender when he is released, according to the plea agreement.
Hoffman said Greenberg’s sentencing by District Judge Gregory A. Presnell would likely be set within 75 days. The magistrate judge warned Greenberg that Presnell does not have to accept prosecutors’ sentencing recommendations. Greenberg has 14 days to file an objection to his plea deal.
Greenberg’s attorney, Fritz Scheller, said after the hearing that the U.S. Attorney’s Office had done a “very thorough job” in building its case. Greenberg he said, is “on the path of redemption, rehabilitation and he has a great deal of remorse.”
Greenberg’s cooperation with federal authorities will be a factor in his sentence, and prosecutors could also seek a sentence reduction later if he continues to cooperate after sentencing.
The agreement specifies that Greenberg will have to cooperate with any investigation by prosecutors.
It has been reported that federal authorities are looking into whether Gaetz, a Panhandle congressman and friend of Greenberg’s, had sex with the same 17-year-old Greenberg was accused of trafficking or paid for sex and travel with escorts.
Gaetz has said several times that he has never paid for sex or had sex as an adult with someone underage. Gaetz’s name does not appear in Greenberg’s plea deal.
Greenberg had been meeting with federal prosecutors since last November. If the information he presents is useful and of “substantial assistance” to them, prosecutors will recommend a lower prison sentence, according to the agreement.
Greenberg's lawyer's comment about the investigation being "very thorough" grabbed my attention. Greenberg has everything to gain by continuing to cooperate with federal prosecutors. Being a sex offender in any prison is hell. My understanding is that it's worse in federal prisons.

Another name added to the Matt Gaetz saga:

Joe Ellicott, a friend and associate of both Gaetz and Joel Greenburg has been subpoenaed by a grand jury.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics ... d=msedgntp
Joe Ellicott, a friend and associate of both Gaetz and Joel Greenburg has been subpoenaed by a grand jury.
The subpoena, which was issued on Dec. 28, says the grand jury is investigating alleged crimes "involving commercial sex acts with adult and minor women, as well as obstruction of justice." It is looking to obtain any communications, documents, recordings and payments the subpoena's recipient had with Ellicott, Gaetz and Greenberg since the start of 2016.

Missed this part, from the MSN story...
Reminder: These dudes went berzerk over Andrew Gilliam's indiscretions.
Jacob Wohl was in Florida at that time.... he keeps saying Matt wanted MMF. Ellicot was known as "Big Joe"...Greenberg admitted this week as part of his plea deal that he recruited women for commercial sex acts and paid them more than $70,000 between 2016 and 2018. He also said he paid at least one underage girl to have sex with him and other men and introduced the underage girl to others who also "engaged in commercial sex acts."
“Big Joe” Ellicott was a groomsman @ the wedding of Joel Greenberg, who gave him a cushy job he kept even after being credibly accused of sex harassment (“he uses women sexually when they are in desperate situations”)

This is getting a lot worse for Gaetz
Greenberg screenshotted a lot of the text messages of these conversations and dailybeast got some from "big joe". There was fear the young girl would expose their sex ring.
Greenberg screenshotted a lot of the text messages of these conversations and dailybeast got some from "big joe". There was fear the young girl would expose their sex ring.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-shock ... ref=scrollGaetz associate Joel Greenberg was already under investigation when he had a private exchange with his one-time sports radio co-host, “Big Joe” Ellicott. In that exchange, conducted over the encrypted messaging app Signal and obtained by The Daily Beast, Ellicott expressed fear that others in their group of friends faced legal jeopardy for having sex with a 17-year-old girl.
Ellicott wrote that a mutual friend, a woman who figures prominently in Greenberg‘s Venmo transactions, “knew [the minor] was underage the whole time, had sex with her, and they both went [to] see other guys.”
Ellicott, who is Venmo friends with Gaetz and a number of women in the alleged sex ring, also acknowledged that “for other guys she brought ___ along to see, that could be trafficking,” using a nickname for the former teen. The Daily Beast has independently verified the young woman’s identity but is withholding her name.
The Signal messages were set to disappear after 30 seconds, but Greenberg—as he’d done with vanishing communications between himself and Roger Stone—screenshotted the message.

I wish they would just arrest him.

I am sure they're waiting until they think they have an airtight case. Between the allegations of "witch hunt" and Daddy Gaetz's money to pay for top-flight defense attorneys, this will be harder to win than a lot of cases.
Also, I'm hoping that they're taking their time so they can roll up as many of these scumbags as they can get. I'll be sad if the only one arrested is Gaetz. It will cause a lot of Qanon heads to explode when they realize there is a pedophile sex trafficking ring at the highest levels of government, but the Republicans, not the Democrats, are the ones causing the problem.

You must be kidding. If Gaetz and his buddies go down (ugh!) they will immediately be re-branded as Antifa plants who were placed there to take down Dear Leader and MTG.

Or the Q folks will just insist that all the evidence against Gaetz is fabricated as part of a setup by the evil Jews who run the world GLOBAL ELITES because he is just so patriotic and loves the Real President, Dear Leader Donald J. Trump, so very much.
