JUST IN: One-time associate to Rep. Matt Gaetz sentenced to 11 years in prison after pleading guilty to crimes ranging from wire fraud to sex trafficking a minor.

Gaetz has long maintained his innocence and has vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

Multiple sources familiar with the probe told ABC News that the investigation into Gaetz has stalled, with federal investigators having concerns regarding multiple key witnesses in the case, including Greenberg -- as well as specifics in the case that could make a conviction difficult for prosecutors.

Former Seminole County tax collector Joel Greenberg talks to the Orlando Sentinel during an interview at his office in Lake Mary, Fla., in Sept., 2019."If the Government is so concerned with general deterrence, then why hasn't it prosecuted the other individuals, including public figures, who were also involved in Greenberg's offenses?" Schiller wrote in a memo filed ahead of his client's sentencing.

Greenberg reached a plea deal with investigators in May 2021 in which he agreed to provide "substantial assistance" to prosecutors as part of their ongoing investigation into Gaetz and others, according to sources familiar with the arrangement. The former tax collector provided investigators with years of Venmo and Cash App transactions and thousands of photos and videos, as well as access to personal social media accounts.

jin_hk It seems that vetting your associates is very important.

And now if they would just prosecute Gaetz!

Please may they use this to link directly to Gaetz himself!

Well just wait until the big boy's in prison introduce you to prison life. I'm told it only hurts for a little while.

Just FYI, y'all; 'One-time associate' is doing a LOT of work in this tweet, and honestly -- it ain't up to task.

Gaetz should have been charged and sent to prison someone must have paid the women to silence them, most likely daddy, it will come back to take him down one day just like Ghillane, Epstein and orange guy

One time associate huh....

Everyone around him has gitten charged & sentenced when are they going to get him? Just like ole Donald, two crooks!!

Wire fraud and sex trafficking a minor gets 11yr prison sentence whilst wearing white… Punching an Asian numerous times gets 17yrs whilst wearing black! The racist roll back is still prevalent.

Now do Clinton with Epstein

Matt, get your bum sealant out of the cupboard as me thinks you are going to need it for the next 10-20 years at the new prime residence location you will be going too. Have fun

WHY ISN'T GAETZ GOING TO PRISON, WITH HIM?

And ALL charges DROPPED against Gaetz but you don't mention that. No only smear negative stories for Repubs especially any that speak up

Groomers.

Let's go with 'Long Time' instead of the misleading 'One Time'.

Florida prisons are understaffed. There are ****4,000**** job listings. He may get hurt. FloridaMan

“Mr. Greenberg has told federal authorities that he witnessed Mr. Gaetz have sex with the 17-year-old girl and that she was paid.”

'The Hill should of been Cleaned Out back in the 19th and 20th Centuries, their Fulling their Pockets at the Expense of the American Taxpayers, allowing to pass a Healthcare Plans that have Deductibles that are Highly Immoral and Criminal just like them!

Opposed to Gaetz walking freely from any repercussions of his sexual desire for a minor.

Not Gaetz

'One time associate'..... I had a friend from 15 years ago that was sent to prison for having sex with a 17 year old. Does that make me a pedophile? Look at the people he is currently with, not the ones that are no longer in his life. Oh, wait, that doesn't for your agenda.

Matty Gaetz bbf and tfg J6 magats ought to get T shirts

Good, take him down! Now let’s get all the people associated with Epstein.

lynns_warriors Yet Hillary and Nancy go free.

vickyvales1

The word you're looking for is 'co-conspirator'.

I don't care about what side you lean on, all politicians are garbage.

Another dirtbag in jail

It's past time for RepMattGaetz to be prosecuted for his involvement in the same crimes. Why is he still on the Judiciary Committee?

Far more than one time 😉

Hey DOJ what about RepMattGaetz

Guilty by associat……

YES!!

GwenieThinks The DOJ lets rich people off. It's is a hard prosecution & even if it isn't, they REFUSE to hold rich white Republicans responsible, even when they rape children. I'M SO F*CKING SICK OF IT. This guy is going to prison, Michael Cohen went to prison, and their accomplices got OFF.

Until you convict MattGaetz who trafficked underage girls as well, the credibility of DOJPH sucks

This gonna get interesting Cantkeepquiet3 TeriRobins2 just imagine this exact same headline but this was right hand man to RepAdamSchiff RepRaskin or AOC i sure hopw my democrat party goes at Gaetz like republicans would & will do Hunter Biden. I doubt it thou

mattgaetz Joel's looking for a roommate.

Another way of saying that gaetz isn’t guilty of any crime.

That’s all?!

One-time?

Looks like I’m not going to be voting for Matt gaetz former assistant.

Now do Matt Gaetz.

deputydlw Stalled? Wishful thinking on someone's part.

Child molester

Greenberg's plea deal included 'substantial assistance' to ongoing investigation into Gaetz/others. He provided investigators with 'years of Venmo and Cash App transactions and thousands of photos and videos, as well as access to personal social media accounts.'

aleshadalin What about Child Pedophile MattGaetz Himself!

Why did it stall? Another corrupt congressman getting away with his crimes. mattgaetz is not innocent.

When is the wingman, rapey mcforehead gonna get indicted?

Yet they call Democrats the groomers.

And mattgaetz has Zero consequences?

One time associate of Bill Clinton and Bill Gates hung himself in prison for trafficking minors. What’s your point?

One time?

Tick tock Gaetz

aleshadalin Now do Gaetz

Gaetz should be sentenced with him but has avoided jail time some how

seditiontrack Watch Gaetz skate away scot free.

seditiontrack

ABC should know better than to claim guilt by associating - aka slander

Guilt by association? Is that the game we’re playing today?

all the peripheral people are being locked up and congress is still full of criminals. LockThemAllUp

And?

Wow

Associate? More like a partner in crime.

SpiroAgnewGhost Wow! Tick tock, Matt Gaetz.

and yet somehow Gaetz isn't charged himself. Must be nice to be above the law.

I remember when you all were claiming Gaetz would also be implicated…wrong again….

ABC News, have you ever heard of Sam Bankman-Fried? You are an enemy of the people with the way you report stories.

Key words ABC being ONE TIME. Are you as obsessed with the Clintons and Jeffrey and Maxwell?

RaiderAttack01 The day is coming when Matt Gaetz will have a day just like his friend.

start again i do know where it starts befor epstien ,,i will add 15 more years of you creeps in mix again the freekos are in central florida

TrueFactsStated JusticeMatters

GwenieThinks More maga news. They’re disgusting

wsteaks Write a book, Joel!

Good, now TheJusticeDept DO MATT GAETZ, what is taking so long

mattgaetz GovRonDeSantis Tell me you’re a sex trafficker w/out telling me you’re a sex trafficker JoelGreenberg

RepMattGaetz Tick Tock...

Look at this ...... PEDOS pushing more lies to keep the focus off of them and the rest of the GUILTY!

11 years on a plea deal means he was in serious trouble to begin with. He spilled a lot of beans.

Holding this in reserve.

That's 11 years with his deal.

Wouldn’t Nancy Pelosi & every other congress member also be a “one-time associate” of Matt Gaetz?

AliceandthePig Hopefully he flipped and Gaetz is next.

Birds of a feather…..

That means Matt Gaetz sex abuse scandal not over?

Ok, what about Gaetz?

Billboards By maddogpac

Also DeSantis associate. They're all pedos.

Anyone who tells you there isn’t a double standard need look no further than Michael Cohen going to prison and this guy going to prison while Trump and Gaetz walk free.

So in the USA those with $$$$ and POWERFUL get a pass. What country

Now do Gaetz

Matt Gaetz is a flight risk

What is it that yall say when someone brings up Hunter Biden 'He's not holding public office, so who cares'

What does this have to do with pool?

You know you're in deep shit when the headline AND lede don't even mention the guy who was actually charged by name. Better get your affairs in order, mattgaetz

Yes, but that's not Gaetz & any invetigation into him was dropped. ABC is trying to insinuate something here,just as they did when they lied this way to the public the entire Russia hoax they pushed.Lets not forget what a big buddy Epstein was to so many Dems&ABC killed the story

How do you know he was a 'one-time' associate of Gaetz and not an on-going one?

Hope Gaetz is next, but sadly he’ll probably get replaced by a different Republican criminal.

SpiroAgnewGhost One down …

BaddCompani boop!

SpiroAgnewGhost Cool, now do Gaetz
