Looks like Joel Greenberg just flipped on Matt Gaetz

JUST IN: via @PaulaReidCNN in the courtroom in Orlando. Joel Greenberg- an associate of Rep. Matt Gaetz is likely to take a plea in his case.

A deal would put pressure Gaetz, as Greenberg would have to share what he knows about his friend and associate

By the time they take a plea deal, the flip is complete. The prosecution won't support a plea with any concessions unless they have a deal. It is a certainty he isn't merely pleading guilty as charged.......

stuff to include fake ID's, impersonation of law enforcement, stealing, corruption, etc. It's mind blowing the things these people are engaged in for as long as they have.

They used social media apps to pick up girls who were into sugar daddys.

Do you really want any more information about these pedophiles? It's all on the internet.

I loved him. I remember one time when he was on Hollywood Squares and his question was "Who was known as "old blood and guts"? In his unforgettable Paul Lynde voice, he said "Barbara Stanwyck."

Considered a classic--The Invaders. She never utters a word in the piece, but conveys her terror perfectly. But I confess, I loved her as Endora, she was wonderful!

Greenberg to Gaetz then on up to the big dogs, Trump et al. Criminal prosecutors start with the small sucker fish to take out the king fish. There is a huge ring of peds all over Florida. Trump feasted at that young girl Buffett. Mar-A-Logo was a hub with Ebstein and his now incarcerated BFF and her million pages of evidence waiting for exposure. All those bottom feeders gonna flip like a crack whore mattress on a payday Saturday night. Some say. “Peepul” are saying. Believe me, that I can tell you.
Mar-A-Logo is the Pizza Shop basement.

Why did they have ICE take those kids and keep no records on the kids' whereabouts?

because he has no Constitutional right(s) not to. And, he'd have to answer honestly, or lose his deal, which would probably end very, very badly for him.

Gaetz needs to shape up for the big house. He can start by sleeping on the bare floor now. Newbies always get the thin "mattresses" which is placed on top of a concrete/metal block. Maybe he can ask the Pillow Guy to send him some unsold surplus, but it might not pass prison officials who'll rip it apart for contraband.

When the news about Gaetz first came out she said she had a hunch about where the info came from & linked to an article about Greenberg.

It's looking like she was right.
