7. I also didn't think one could marry a witness/victim

to avoid charges. I didn't think that marital thing applied to testifying about events that happened before marriage.

If so, we'll have to wait until after the divorce. Unless the settlement includes large payments for continued silence.

Trump seems to have set the stage, do what the F you want and if you have money and are republican, nothing will happen. And MSM will forget about it. As someone said, the US has a Judicial System, but not a Justice System.

Unless it's obvious and on camera with DNA and confession and eyewitnesses willing to testify that are impeachable, nothing ever happens.

If on the other hand you are poor or just have bad luck or are black or another person of color or live in a certain area, good luck you don't have the same passport to freedom as these assholes do.

13. His friend whose name escapes me had his sentencing

Postponed from the summer until this fall. Which means the feds are still talking to him. If it gets postponed again I would place a wager that Gaetz will be going down.
He won't be sentenced if the feds are going to use him as a witness.

…Greenberg's sentencing on six federal charges was set for Aug. 19. The former Seminole County Tax Collector said he's been cooperating in the investigation, which is part of his plea deal.

Greenberg's attorney asked to delay the sentencing 90 days on Tuesday. The judge granted his request, with a new sentencing date set for Nov. 18 at 9 a.m.
