Gaetz friend who helped him with child sex trafficing asks for more time to work with Feds

https://www.wfla.com/news/politics/gaetz-friend-asks-for-more-time-to-cooperate-with-feds/

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Joel Greenberg, the friend of U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz who pleaded guilty earlier this year to sex trafficking, asked a judge on Tuesday to postpone his sentencing until next year so he can continue cooperating with federal authorities.

Greenberg asked the federal judge in a court filing to move his sentencing date from mid-November to next March.

The extra time will give the former local tax collector from an Orlando suburb more time to sit for interviews with federal investigators, the filing said.

“Indeed, Mr. Greenberg’s ongoing cooperation, which will not be completed prior to his current sentencing date, could have an impact on his final sentence,” according to the court filing, which said the extension was unopposed by federal prosecutors.

"Hey guys, there's Soooooooooo Much information I have to give you, that I can't possibly get it all done in the next month and a half.

I got an idea. How about you delay my sentencing, giving me more time as a free man.......errrrrrrr........I mean, giving me more time to work with you and provide everything you're looking for on my good buddy Matt."
