And even if he is arrested, there will be a few Q-nutjobs that won't vote to convict no matter the evidence. And all of his supporters will just see it as a liberal hit job. He'll fundraise off being arrested for having sex with minors and trafficking minors for sex. And the group that is convinced the world is run by a pedophilia cult will refuse to believe their guy did it despite all evidence to the contrary. 17 minutes ago, Spaceman Spiff said: Yeah, this is where I am, too. You get to a certain level and the rules just don't apply to you. Maybe Gaetz is at that level, maybe he isn't. But I wouldn't be surprised if nothing happens. The thing that keeps me from seeing it in the same way: this whole shebang was started under Trump and Barr. Barr even avoided attending functions with Gaetz, they seized his phone, he was being extorted by someone who said they could make the investigation go away, he tried to get a blanket pardon from Trump, Trump hasn't met with Gaetz like he's meeting with everyone else, and the report that many GOP Congress members actually hate the guy. He's not made of Teflon like others before him. Edited May 13, 2021 by Califan007 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 One really sad thing is that if Gaetz is indicted you just know his fundraising will skyrocket. He'll say he's a victim of the DERP STATE and is only being targeted because he's a Trump supporter and "they" want to silence him. MTG and others will keep defending him...not because they believe that he's innocent (or even care one way or the other), but because they know that sweet sweet cash from the MAGA mouth breathing faithful will overflow into their coffers as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busch1724 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Obviously Greenburg's credibility will be challenged and is an issue. Hopefully they have some other corroborating witnesses (like the one staff that was mentioned) and documents to support Greenburg's claims.

I can’t see them bringing charges solely on Greenberg’s word. DOJ is selective with their cases and have a very high win rate. We know of the Venmo transactions. I’m sure there is a lot more than what Greenberg brings to the table. He just ties everything together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch1724 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I would agree they (prosecutors) have their ducks in a row, but Gaetz's people will lie enough for many to think he's telling the truth. I just hope Gaetz's noise doesn't prevent the truth from coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing can be done about that for a bit unfortunately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suspect there was a good reason that he was pestering Trump's camp for a pardon pre Jan 20th. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Eli Honig (former federal prosecutor) was asked about this on CNN yesterday and he said that the prosecutors wouldn't have offered Greenberg a cooperation deal if they hadn't already been able to corroborate what he's told them thus far. They don't offer those deals based on hunches or hoping that the person is telling the truth. They're very thorough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 At this point I would be more worried that this goes beyond Greenberg and Gaetz to the point where Greenberg is being floated a future pardon if he keeps his mouth shut, takes the blame and spends some time in prison while strings are pulled.

Maybe it's a situation where they don't want to state publicly in his plea who he told them it was, especially if they're in the process of building a case against the person(s) in question.

NoCalMike Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I doubt the FBI or any law enforcement is going to offer up any kind of plea if "other men" is as detailed as he is willing to get. He might not be willing to name names publicly (for now) but that doesn't mean behind closed doors he won't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
