Sentencing Delayed For Matt Gaetz's Wingman Because He's Cooperating So Well

There could be some trouble brewing for Matt Gaetz and several other unidentified men, as Joel Greenberg's sentencing is being delayed due to the fact that he's being such a good cooperating witness. Prosecutors wouldn't be doing this if the information wasn't valuable, and that should send shivers down the spines of everyone who has had contact with Greenberg over the years. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Joel Greenberg, the former Seminole county tax collector, who was at the center of the, uh, scandal that also involves Republican Congressman. Matt gates has been granted a three month extension on his sentencing hearing. Originally Greenberg was scheduled to be sentenced on August 19th, but he filed a petition with the court. The prosecutors looked at it and said, yes, we agree with Mr. Greenberg. He should not be sentenced yet. So they gave him a three month extension. And the reason they gave him this extension should send shivers down the spines of people, including Matt gates himself. Because the reason the prosecutors are willing to give this extension for the sentencing hearing is because, well, Mr. Greenberg has been a very good little cooperating witness, and he's so busy cooperating that we need more time with him out here. Let's not lock him up

Just yet. They also repeatedly mentioned the proffers. Now proffer

Is just a stupid word for proposals and offers and they put them together and it's it's stupid, but whatever. Um, basically it means that they're not done making deals with Joel Greenberg

Potentially, but

Considering the fact that he had more than a month to go before his original sentencing hearing, but he is apparently divulged enough information to not only win over the trust of the prosecutors to get the extra three months, but even between now and August, 19th has so much to spill that he can't get, get it out in a month and a half. That is, it's a huge development in this case. Now, again, in the early days of this, remember I was saying, wow, this is crazy. We're getting new revelations like once every other day or so

It's died off, right? We've

We've had a couple of weeks of just total silence on this mat gate saga,

But this is why,

So things aren't being leaked right now. Okay, great. Wonderful. But that doesn't mean that the ball is not still rolling and folks, it is rolling at a phenomenal speed and it is rolling right towards Matt gates. At this point, that's what's happening here. They would not have given Greenberg this sweetheart deal where he went from 33 charges down to say they would not have it agreed to give him an extra three months if he wasn't giving them gold and buy gold. I mean, not just information that could take down an entire sex trafficking ring. No I'm talking about gold that could bring down perhaps a sitting Congressman or more at this point with the way prosecutors are treating Greenberg. This can't just be about Matt gates.

Matt gates is a big

Fish. Sure. But he's not that big of a fish. Right?

So who else is involved? We know

There's at least five male individuals

In the charges against

Greenberg, but we do not know the identities of those individuals. It is assumed obviously that one of the five is Matt gates.

So there's four others. How Greenberg's

Been around in Florida politics for quite some time. He

Knows everybody from the politicians to the donors, Matt gates. Isn't the only fish there's other

Big fish in there too. And I think when all is said and done, we're going to hear some names coming out of this investigation that we probably weren't even suspecting. There could be other politicians that go down there could be big time, Republican donors that go down. But rest assured I firmly believe at this point that Matt gates is not only the only big fish there or not. The only big fish there, excuse me.

But at this point he may not even be the biggest fish that the prosecutors are going after.
