(268,915 posts)Joel Greenberg, the friend of U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz who pleaded guilty earlier this year to sex trafficking, asked a judge on Tuesday to postpone his sentencing until next year so he can continue cooperating with federal authorities.
Greenberg asked the federal judge in a court filing to move his sentencing date from mid-November to next March.
The extra time will give the former local tax collector from an Orlando suburb more time to sit for interviews with federal investigators, the filing said.
Indeed, Mr. Greenbergs ongoing cooperation, which will not be completed prior to his current sentencing date, could have an impact on his final sentence, according to the court filing, which said the extension was unopposed by federal prosecutors.

How much freaking time does Greenberg need?

It suggests that he's stringing the prosecutors along, and has no intention of providing anything of value.
But I guess it allows people to speculate for another year about all the trouble Gaetz is in, while he's still enjoying the good life as a member of Congress.
Yawn.

(11,295 posts)I agree that this is a positive (in the aggregate) - but, besides being frustrating, it doesn't really signal much of anything about an actual case against Gaetz. (rather suspect that a lot of that 'cooperation' has already been established. investigators are probably now widening their net.)

(57,075 posts)... his grand jury will indict him this year. Conviction? Maybe a year or two depending on whether he cuts his losses and deals or not.
