The floodgaetz are open: Matt Gaetz growing scandal is a threat to the whole GOP
Countdown to the indictment. No wonder there were rumors a few days ago that he was "seriously considering not seeking re-election and possibly leaving Congress early for a job at Newsmax..." And the GQP continues to implode...
In addition to Gaetz and Florida Republican Joel Greenberg, there’s at least one other unnamed Republican official involved in this sex trafficking ring. More importantly, there are a lot more unnamed people involved—like the women who Gaetz, Greenberg, and associates paid to travel across states for the purposes of having sex. At least one of these women was reportedly under the age of 18. There may be more.
As the story expands, so does the possibility that Gaetz was involved in repeated acts that were both more serious, and more extensive, than early reporting suggested. That includes new information that indicates that Gaetz may have been directly involved in providing false IDs to the underage targets of his sex trafficking organization.
New reporting from The Daily Beast shows that the relationship between Gaetz and Greenberg extended beyond the 2019-2020 time frame originally reported elsewhere. That’s because a tip to the FBI shows Gaetz accompanied Greenberg on a late-night trip to his office in 2018 that triggered a security alarm. As it turns out, the FBI was already investigating Greenberg for something he was doing in that office: making fake IDs.
Countdown to the indictment. No wonder there were rumors a few days ago that he was "seriously considering not seeking re-election and possibly leaving Congress early for a job at Newsmax..." And the GQP continues to implode...
