....page 30 and beyond to see how serious all of this is for Gaetz and others" (not an exact quote, a paraphrase)
Here's a link to the document. It is amazingly detailed and one can't help thinking one of the people they're talking about is Gaetz. It actually begins on page 28.
If true, Gaetz is in MORE than just serious trouble.

(3,131 posts)Maybe Gaetz is directly implicated in count 1 if its the same person. I think the requirement to cooperate in other matters is the real danger to others and is in the last paragraph on page 9.
Defendant agrees to cooperate fully with the United States in the
investigation and prosecution of other persons, and to testify, subject to a prosecution
for perjury or making a false statement, fully and truthfully before any federal court proceeding or federal grandjury in connection with the charges in this case and other matters, such cooperation to further include a full and complete disclosure of all relevant information , including production of any and all books, papers , documents , and other objects in defendant's possession or control, and to be reasonably available for interviews which the United States may require.
Apologies if I messed up that paste. It needed some formatting help.
Page 30 on has the details for Greenbergs charges and I only saw two people mentioned semi-directly. Recruiter Conspirator and SBA employee.
I think it likely he has other knowledge but the danger to those people is the requirement to cooperate.
Not a lawyer and just my opinion.

(67,782 posts)...is a hardened criminal. The only thing missing in his portfolio is putting out hits on his enemies.
I don't know if sentence is negotiated ahead of time in plea bargains, but if not the judge should throw the book at him.
To think Gaetz is close buddies with him. I read into the "anonymous" part of it is that when he was making those phony licenses with "someone else", it has to be Gaetz. Don't forget they have the two of them on video going into the DMV on SATURDAY when they were closed. With all those fake licenses, what else would they be doing there on Saturday?

(67,782 posts)If you read through the plea deal, you'll see that Greenberg was familiar with that basket of old or replaced licenses.
This alone should send Gaetz away for awhile, and he's toast as a Congressman.
Joel Greenberg and U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz on at least one occasion several years ago were recorded together entering the Seminole County Tax Collectors Office when it was closed on a weekend night, according to a person familiar with office operations who saw the videotape.
The person said the footage showed Greenberg and Gaetz walking into the Tax Collectors Lake Mary office on Primera Drive. Greenberg was seen going through baskets where drivers licenses, turned in by residents for disposal, were stored and later went into a back room, the person said.
CNN reported Thursday night the visit was revealed to federal authorities investigating Greenberg in January 2020. Gaetz has since become a target of investigators, who are probing whether an alleged relationship with a 17-year-old girl violated sex trafficking laws, according to reports.
Information about the weekend office visit was shared with the Orlando Sentinel before news broke this week about the Gaetz investigation.
