Former associate of Rep. Matt Gaetz requests another sentencing delay as he cooperates with feds in

sex crimes probe

An attorney for Joel Greenberg, a key player in Rep. Matt Gaetz's sex-crimes investigation, filed a motion for a delay in his sentencing, which was scheduled for next month.

Greenberg, a former Seminole County tax collector, has repeatedly had his sentencing hearing rescheduled, suggesting that he has information of significant interest for prosecutors, according to court records.

Greenberg's attorney, Fritz Scheller, said on Friday in court documents that he plans to file, under seal, a motion asking for the extension because it contains "confidential information concerning these investigations, as well as the nature and extent of Mr. Greenberg's cooperation."

On Friday, US District Judge Gregory Presnell granted Greenberg's request to seal the motion asking for a delay, which went unopposed by federal prosecutors and suggests his March 29 sentencing hearing could be pushed back as he continues to cooperate with authorities.

Why the rush? After he's sentenced, will he no longer be obligated to share what he knows? Will he no longer be motivated to give info that the prosecutors need?

I can be patient.

I want him to be perp-walked out of the Capitol with his hands cuffed and his face showing panic.

He is so much the picture of affluenza, arrogant, stupid, hateful.

That smirk won't so much good for him in prison. Apparently nobody likes paedos in the prisons. It will be hard for him to survive. 🤞

He's cooperating so much, and providing such extensive information, that Gaetz is still out there spewing his vitriol on a daily basis.

DELAY

DELAY

DELAY SOME MORE

That's all these POS's like to do, and there always seems to be accommodation.

Life isn't a three-act one-hour TV crime/courtroom drama. Nothing is as neat and simple as that.

No offense intended. I think enough time for cooperation has already passed. Justice delayed is justice denied

Our justice system is a complete joke, and I'm waiting to see otherwise.
Yawn.
