Matt Gaetz is now under investigation for obstruction

Somehow he roped his "ex girlfriend" allegedly into calling some of his other "exes", the ones he paid for ALLEGEDLY. This young lady I think was the college intern.

It sounds like these calls were in the last year in response to Greenberg's being investigated. This ex is reportedly seeking a deal. Think about what a scumbag Gaetz is, getting her to commit a crime maybe because he likes to pay very young women.

This ex intern apparently was friends with the minor and other young women in this group. This is just so tawdry, these elected officials paying teens to "party" with them for cash, and to recruit others... five or six men passing them around.

And Greenberg was just a crook all the way through, using his office to pay off friends, create fake id, check out potential "dates".

"Haley Robson was a 16-year-old South Florida high school student when an acquaintance from school approached her at a local pool with an intriguing offer: Did she want to make extra money giving massages to a billionaire in Palm Beach?

She agreed. When Jeffrey Epstein tried to grope her while she was giving him a massage, wearing nothing but a thong, she brushed his hand away, Ms. Robson said in a 2009 deposition for a civil case. But she continued to visit Mr. Epstein’s mansion dozens more times, in a lucrative new role: a recruiter of other teenage girls from her school."....(more)

She better cut a deal that includes witness protection before she ends up having an "accident".

Is that Gaetz is still out front and center for the Republican Party. They no longer care about decency or even the appearance of caring. 10 years ago and he would have already resigned or at least been made to stay in the background until this all shakes out. That party sold their soul.

what they are told to care about. Apparently it was never about family values, God, or patriotism, it was about whatever the issue of the day was according to right-wing media and opportunistic politicians.
