He came to public attention when hit with 14 charges on federal felonies, including trafficking of children. If just half of the things alleged against him could be proven in court, he would never get out of jail. The first charge, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-mdfl\/press-release\/file\/1287831\/download\">framing a political opponent <\/a>and thus winning a campaign, was pretty awful. The second, even sleazier indictment, states that Greenberg \u201c<i>used his access to the Seminole County Tax Collector&#8217;s Office to take surrendered driver licenses before they were shredded. [He] also used his access to DAVID to run searches that were not for any permissible use .. . As a result of those searches [he] obtained, disclosed transferred, and used personal information of individuals whose personal information was in a motor vehicle record, including individuals with whom <\/i><i>[<\/i><i>he] was engaged in \u201csugar daddy\u201d relationships.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Matt Gaetz, the besieged Congressman, and Greenberg were close associates (Gaetz contributed the maximum allowed to Greenberg\u2019s sleazy campaign for the tax collector\u2019s job) and there\u2019s at least one eye witness account that the two were seen together in the tax collector\u2019s office (Greenberg was its elected department head) rummaging through various state IDs that had been turned in and were intended for shredding.<\/p>\n<p>But for all his apparent viciousness, Greenberg isn\u2019t exactly the rock of Gibraltar when it comes to personal courage and resoluteness. When he violated bond following his arrest on all those charges, according to the Tampa Bay Times, \u201cFormer Seminole County tax collector Joel Greenberg claimed to have explosive devices and threatened to harm himself while negotiating his surrender with deputy sheriffs in early March, which delayed for hours his arrest for violating his bond conditions, newly released records state.\u201d Well, isn\u2019t that exactly the sort of situation you would want to see your tax collector in? Even for Tampa Bay it seemed a bit over the top. The county tax office motto isn\u2019t \u201cCome and git me, coppers! You\u2019ll never take me alive!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the number of charges against him rose to 33, which according to the Times included \u201cstalking, identity theft, wire fraud, bribery, theft of government property, conspiracy to bribe a public official, creating fake IDs and sex trafficking of a minor.\u201d The Tax Collector\u2019s office under his purview handed out three million in contracts to people who had attended Greenberg\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, it\u2019s all somewhat minor. Greenberg would still be unknown outside of Florida were it not for the fact that Gaetz was in any way involved. (Gaetz steadfastly maintains his innocence.)<\/p>\n<p>Now it seems Greenberg is going to cop a plea, and given the number and size of the charges against him, he\u2019s going to have to give up the whole zoo if he wants to see daylight again.<\/p>\n<p>But Greenberg isn\u2019t the only buddy of Gaetz who is involved in all this. Dr. Jason Pirozzolo, a hand surgeon and marijuana advocate, traveled with Gaetz to the Bahamas. The trip was on Pirozzolo\u2019s dime, and allegedly included escorts, including some who may have been underage.<\/p>\n<p>Again, not that significant a story, except for this: soon after, then-President Trump made an unscheduled trip to Florida. The only people to greet him on this unpublicized trip were&#8230;Gaetz and Pirozzolo. Why would Trump want to meet with those two? Did he perhaps have a bunion on his thumb?<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s Roger Stone. Granted, pick any significant Republican scandal over the past 50 years and his name is likely to pop up in there somehow. He should be fighting to stay out of jail right now except Trump gave him a preemptive pardon.<\/p>\n<p>There are reports that Gaetz asked Trump for a blanket pardon sometime before January 20, but no actual evidence has emerged, and both men deny it. Trump may even be telling the truth, since the aides who handled pardons were keeping the more politically disastrous away from Trump\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p>So Greenberg is copping a plea, and it\u2019s one likely to completely engulf Gaetz, who\u2019s already in a position where his political career is toast and he\u2019s just fighting to stay out of federal prison.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Gaetz doesn\u2019t strike me as the sort who is going to take one for the team. He could conceivably be facing a future of being a rich white boy who is a child sex offender in federal prison, which by all accounts is not an admirable situation to be in. So he may decide to cop a plea, as well?<\/p>\n<p>Against whom?<\/p>\n<p>Well, Pirozzolo is a possibility. He hasn\u2019t been formally accused of anything yet, other than being a buddy to Gaetz and a mover and shaker in Florida politics. Ron DeSantis appointed him to Greater Orlando Airport Authority on the recommendation of Gaetz.<\/p>\n<p>But for a man in Gaetz\u2019 position, Pirozzolo may be a rather small fish to fry for the feds. He\u2019s going to need a bigger shark, to coin a phrase.<\/p>\n<p>This in turn leads to Stone and Trump. What did they know and when did they know it?<\/p>\n<p>Stand by. This whole thing could get much bigger.<\/p>\n<p>And how would it destroy the right? Well, for years they\u2019ve been screaming that the rest of America were involved in child sex slave operations, were corrupt, lied, and were criminals.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it seems, the calls were coming from inside the house. How is Qanon going to react to the news that the people they (sometimes literally) worshipped were the same one they were warning us all about?<\/p>\n<p>More to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gaeteradez Right Wingers drink from wrong cup April 10th 2021 Could Joel Greenberg end up destroying the American right for a couple of generations?
