Gaetz update: investigation focused on cash paid for sex

WASHINGTON — A Justice Department investigation into Representative Matt Gaetz and an indicted Florida politician is focusing on their involvement with multiple women who were recruited online for sex and received cash payments, according to people close to the investigation and text messages and payment receipts reviewed by The New York Times.
Investigators believe Joel Greenberg, the former tax collector in Seminole County, Fla., who was indicted last year on a federal sex trafficking charge and other crimes, initially met the women through websites that connect people who go on dates in exchange for gifts, fine dining, travel and allowances, according to three people with knowledge of the encounters. Mr. Greenberg introduced the women to Mr. Gaetz, who also had sex with them, the people said.
One of the women who had sex with both men also agreed to have sex with an unidentified associate of theirs in Florida Republican politics, according to a person familiar with the arrangement. Mr. Greenberg had initially contacted her online and introduced her to Mr. Gaetz, the person said.
Mr. Gaetz denied ever paying a woman for sex.
The Justice Department inquiry is also examining whether Mr. Gaetz had sex with a 17-year-old girl and whether she received anything of material value, according to four people familiar with the investigation. The sex trafficking count against Mr. Greenberg involved the same girl, according to two people briefed on the investigation.
The Times has reviewed receipts from Cash App, a mobile payments app, and Apple Pay that show payments from Mr. Gaetz and Mr. Greenberg to one of the women, and a payment from Mr. Greenberg to a second woman. The women told their friends that the payments were for sex with the two men, according to two people familiar with the conversations.
In encounters during 2019 and 2020, Mr. Gaetz and Mr. Greenberg instructed the women to meet at certain times and places, often at hotels around Florida, and would tell them the amount of money they were willing to pay, according to the messages and interviews.

So in other words this is the story the FBI wants the media to circulate. Congrats on falling for this game. You really think this guy would be in office if this were true?

That looks bad but unless Gaetz was stupid enough to send anything in email or text message I don’t see how they can convict him.

If they were underage he's done.
If they were adults that's something dems want to legalize.
But it's still not a good look.

The Tucker interview was so bizarre even Tucker is distancing. “Leave me out of this.” Lol.

why? what did he do?

I’m not buying any of this. It’s a CIA operation to take him out. It’s being leaked to the NYT who will of course publish unverified fake news any place any time as long as it’s damaging to a prominent Republican.
I call bullshite.

It'll be a cold day in hell before I believe a NYT article about a Matt Gaetz. To say they likely took some liberties would be kind to NYT.

Do you really think he’s dumb enough to send Cash payments on an electronic app directly to hookers?

Yes, yes he did. And then ran to TD to share his stupidity.
This is clearly a hit job, but the left knows no one in media or on the right will do a thing to defend him or go after them.
