"Joel Greenberg plead guilty to sex trafficking, identity fraud, wire fraud and host of other charges in May 2021. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison, with 10 of those coming from the mandatory minimum imposed by the sex trafficking charge.
The DOJ did not close its case against Matt Gaetz until October 2022. They never publicly acknowledged why he was not charged although it becomes fairly obvious once you learn that Joel Greenberg had produced fake IDs for the underage girl in question.
How can you convict someone of statutory rape when this woman was using a real state of Florida driver’s license to present as being of age?
But of course, because it’s the swamp, that’s not where Matt’s troubles ended. The snakes in DC were going to milk that investigation for all its worth and when Gaetz went for McCarthy during the speaker fight, McCarthy and his allies plotted carefully to get their revenge.
We saw the culmination of that plotting on full display today. There are still lots of unanswered questions. Who is the “we” that Jacob Novak referenced in his texts to Scott Adams? Who leaked the info about the Gaetz case to Bob Kent?
Was Joel Greenberg running a honeypot scheme? If so, for who? Sure would be nice to get an Attorney General in office who actually gave a damn about answering any of those questions."
