Gaetz closing on Matty as Greenberg asks judge to delay his sentence

while he continues to cooperate.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/matt-gaetzs-wingman-joel-greenberg-seeks-sentencing-delay-to-continue-cooperating

Joel Greenberg—the Rep. Matt Gaetz wingman who pleaded guilty and is now helping authorities investigate the congressman’s involvement in an underage sex ring—has so much evidence that he needs more than 44 days to share it.

In a court document filed Tuesday, Greenberg, the disgraced local tax collector asked a federal judge to push back his sentencing.

The letter describes “ongoing cooperation which will not be completed prior to his current sentencing date.”

In May, Greenberg admitted to engaging in sex trafficking, identity theft, and other crimes on the condition that he would turn over evidence that implicated others who helped him. He was scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 19.

Matty needs to have some consequences.

Or, what was TFG's idea? He "needs to go through some things."

...most of the "predictors", notably the pillow making crackhead, didn't specify which August 13.
There's one every year, so they don't have to change the date; ever.

That CAN’T be a coincidence!!1!1!

🤪😂

(I think MT head Greene or Boebert was the inspiration for that…)

Boebert was the inspiration. She thought the fact that July 4th was on a Sunday was a sign from God. Apparently she doesn’t understand how the calendar works…

Yes, you can define ..."It All" and "There is Always More." in any way you want....

"More" is....Still...." ,,,"MORE"!!!!!!

and ...History proves it...Science proves it ...and ...Good & Evil Prove it...

_______________________________________________________________________________
Just One and only One example of the above:

Please if you can stomach it, read the history of ...The Great War...also known later as World War I

The writers thought that it could never get any worse.or read long inclusive articles about that War...
(if you can stomach it)..Yes, At the time in the 1920s & 30s, writers thought it couldn't get any worse.

Well.........It got much worse....World War II.....

... I hope he's spent some money talking to prison consultants about staying healthy on a cell block.

Or not.

Maybe he should just wing it, you know, go up to the toughest guy in the joint and threaten him with his father's lawyers.
