Some awfully interesting quotes in this CNN piece about Joel Greenberg's cooperation:

"Roger Handberg, an assistant US attorney, said that Greenberg has made allegations to investigators that 'take us to some places we did not anticipate.'"

"Handberg called the need for a second delay 'unusual' but added the department was in an 'unusual situation given the number of different investigations and lines of investigation we are pursuing.'"

(CNN) — Joel Greenberg, the former Florida official whose crimes in the state ensnared Rep. Matt Gaetz in a federal sex trafficking investigation, has been providing the Justice Department with new information as he continues to cooperate with authorities following a guilty plea earlier this year.

At a brief hearing in Orlando federal court Monday, Roger Handberg, an assistant US attorney, said that Greenberg has made allegations to investigators that "take us to some places we did not anticipate."

"What investigators do is they follow up on that to try to corroborate the information that's been provided," Handberg said.

Greenberg, a former county tax commissioner and close friend of Gaetz's, pleaded guilty to six charges in May, admitting that he had knowingly solicited and paid a minor for sex.
