    [Daily Beast]Republicans Waste No Time Burying ‘Meanest Person’ Matt Gaetz After Teen-Sex Allegation

    Hours after it was reported that federal investigators are investigating Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for an alleged relationship with a 17-year-old girl, his Republican colleagues could barely disguise their glee. Speaking to Business Insider, a string of anonymous GOPers jumped at the chance to unload on Gaetz as he faces a scandal that could abruptly end his political career. One former senior Trump White House aide described Gaetz as “the meanest person in politics,” and said other ex-Trump aides “feel a little vindicated” by the news. A former congressional aide said Republican leaders will enjoy sitting back and watching Gaetz “completely implode in a matter of days,” while another another ex-Trump White House aide wrote: “Good riddance... It sounds like he let whatever BS power he thought he had go to his head.” Gaetz has denied the allegations, claiming that he’s the victim of an extortion plot masterminded by a former Justice Department official.

    I don't give a damn what they have to charge him with if it happened. I hope they all charge him if he did. It is gross and inappropriate.

    Of course more than anything I hope he didn't actually do it

    We've seen this before. Off the record Republican politicians express disgust about one of their more extreme, members. In the case of the McConnel and McCarthy even on the record and on the floors of Congress after the Jan. 6th assault on the Capitol. Yet when it comes to actually doing something very few of them do. We saw this with both impeachments and with the stripping of Marjorie Taylor Greene's committee assignments.

    Gaetz's boy Greenberg is a dumb MF.

    Take a look at all the **** he was doing as a tax collector?

    https://www.orlandosentinel.com/new...0210331-omhpckhhfjh6xcbubeydlhaiie-story.html

    Just five days after he appeared in shackles in a federal courtroom, accused by prosecutors of stalking a political opponent, Joel Greenberg filed paperwork with the state to resurrect a pair of defunct companies, Greenberg Media and DG3 Network.

    He would later use those businesses to obtain more than $432,000 in fraudulent loans through a program meant to help small businesses hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic — with the help of a federal employee whom he had bribed, prosecutors now allege.

    To gain approval for the loans, Greenberg paid an unnamed employee of the U.S. Small Business Administration for her help preparing and processing the loans, the indictment states. She also allegedly “manipulate[d] the status of [the loans] to trigger” payouts for Greenberg’s applications.

    He also used his agency’s funds to buy himself personal items, federal prosecutors allege — including memorabilia autographed by NBA legends Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

    Greenberg stole hundreds of thousands from his public office, federal authorities allege, including by using his office’s funds to buy cryptocurrency for himself and using the assets of his office to sell “cryptocurrency mining machines” to his own benefit.

    Greenberg, prosecutors say, used American Express cards from the county agency to buy himself cryptocurrency. He also created a bank account in the agency’s name “for which he was the sole signatory” which he used to divert money from the public agency, the new indictment states.

    The scheme also involved a business Greenberg established, Government Blockchain Systems, LLC, the indictment states. Among other allegations, it says Greenberg set up an Amazon account for the company which he used to sell cryptocurrency mining machines that he had purchased with funds from the Tax Collector’s Office.

    it's always projection with the republicans.

    you knew it was only a matter of time when they started trying to point their pedo fingers at the democrats.

    I’ll wait for the movie to complete filming before I lavish praise on it. There’s many a slip.

    That said, if Matt Gaetz crashes and burns, well, it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
