Well, it looks like Matt Gaetz‘s ex-girlfriend has finally caved and agreed to cooperate with the feds in their ongoing teen sex trafficking investigation against the antigay lawmaker.
Multiple media outlets are reporting that Gaetz’s ex has agreed to work with federal investigators after doing everything she could to avoid them for the last six months. Though she has not been identified by name, she is reportedly a former Capitol Hill intern who met Gaetz while working for another congressman.
Investigators say she’s a “critical witness” and believe she has information about a trip Gaetz took to the Bahamas in 2017, during which he may have paid to have sex with a 17-year-old high school student.
They are hoping she can help make sense of pages and pages and pages of online receipts to determine if any of them were payments for sex.
How about we take this to the next level?

Meanwhile, Gaetz’s former wingman, Joel Greenberg, has also been working with investigators after pleading guilty to six federal counts, including sex trafficking of a minor. His cooperation is part of a plea agreement in exchange for having dozens of other counts against him dropped.
In his plea agreement, Greenberg admitted to having sex with a 17-year-old “at least seven times.” He also said he “introduced the minor to other adult men, who engaged in commercial sex acts with the minor.”
In a leaked letter written to Roger Stone begging for a pardon from Donald Trump, Greenberg alleged Gaetz was one of those men, although his plea agreement doesn’t mention the antigay lawmaker by name.
Gaetz hasn’t been charged with anything and has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
“Congressman Gaetz doesn’t seem to be named nor referenced in Mr. Greenberg’s plea,” said Gaetz’s spokesman Harlan Hill. “Congressman Gaetz has never had sex with a minor and has never paid for sex.”

Unfortunetly assholes can’t depend on others allegiance. Same goes for the Capital insurrectionists.

Yeah, I’ll believe it when I see it. Republican money buys a lot of complicity.

It will be interesting if they can prove that Gaetz’s father paid her. Will a rich Republican donor ever go to jail for obstructing justice.

And yet Gaetz still sits on the judiciary committee? Kevin McCarthy, yet another Republican House leader who has over the years failed the American people.
I enjoy reading about the unfolding Gaetz story – he’ll never take responsibility or resign – why should he when the “they’re out to get me” refrain plays so well to “the poorly educated” who elected him?
Looking forward to his indictment.

It’ll be so delicious to finally see that low life scum bag Gaetz in an orange jumpsuit.. The hearing about his vile ass getting beaten ( and possibly worse ) while in prison… And Greenberg is another level of douche baggery. Trafficked an UNDER AGE girl across INTERNATIONAL borders to please Gaetz. And then Greenberg gets 27 FELONY charges “dropped” . Everyone should be asking who pressured the Seminole County DA &/or the Federal prosecutors to conveniently “drop” the remaining charges.. Let’s see : could it be very powerful and way more CROOKED males who hung Greenberg out to dry .To cover their very ILLEGAL acts? YES YES YES …

“Multiple media outlets are reporting that Gaetz’s ex has agreed to work with federal investigators after doing everything she could to avoid them for the last six months…..” Yet, this is the only outlet I’ve read that mentions this?
What’s up with Governo Cuomo, btw? If your “reporters” spent as much time reporting on that jack ass as you do on Gaetz…. (rolling eyes)…..
