Ellicotts plea agreement requires him to cooperate with the government in other prosecutions, including possibly testimony before the grand jury and in court. In exchange, Ellicott will not be formally charged by the grand jury, and has a shot at significantly reducing his sentence. He will also enjoy immunity from any other federal offenses known to the U.S. Attorneys Office relating to the two crimes.

I understand the need to build an airtight case - and am actually supportive of Garland, the January 6 committee, the New York AG making sure their i's are dotted, etc. when it comes to the different things they're all working on - but I want Gaetz frog-marched soooooo baaaaad.

Ellicott is the long-time best friend of corrupt Florida tax official Joel Greenberg, who was Gaetzs wingman in the underage sex operation, according to several sources with direct knowledge of their relationship. Last year, The Daily Beast revealed that Ellicott knew intimate details about the teenage girl who was paid for sex by the groupand actually texted what essentially amounted to a confession that they were scrambling to try and coverup details about their sex with a 17-year-old from the feds.
