GaetzGate Gets Sleazier (If That's Possible)



New reporting from the New York Times:

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.  (our emphasis)

There are receipts!

This sleazeball is like a mini- me Trump!  No wonder he was such a fanboy.  They maybe even hooked up with the same prostitutes at some point along the line.  Abusing women, misogyny, all part of the pattern of toxic behavior Gaetz had already exhibited.

Republican values!

BONUS:  We just had to add this photo of Gaetz with fellow rabid Trumper Rep. Jim "Gym" Jordan (Showers-OH), who's "standing by Gaetz" and has so far survived his own toxic sex scandal.  So far --
