Looks like the Times has the receipts. Literally.

Reading through, it explains the trafficking/drugs stuff and a lot of other bad.

quote:

The Times has reviewed receipts from Cash App, a mobile payments app, and Apple Pay that show payments from Mr. Gaetz and Mr. Greenberg to one of the women, and a payment from Mr. Greenberg to a second woman. The women told their friends that the payments were for sex with the two men

...
Should anyone inquire about their relationships, one person said, Mr. Gaetz told the women to say that he had paid for hotel rooms and dinners as part of their dates.

...
It is also a violation of federal child sex trafficking law to provide someone under 18 with anything of value in exchange for sex, which can include meals, hotels, drugs, alcohol or cigarettes. A conviction carries a 10-year mandatory minimum prison sentence.
to use the parlance of AP reporters...ruh roh

You called an article from the loving Associated Press "clickbait," so stop with this "hmm, makes you think" bullshit.

on the other hand,

it's obvious it was a bad stop, most likely racially motivated, and most likely the cops will walk. that's fuckin virginia for you.


edit: this is the same state where the local police waged a terror campaign against a black woman city official

Lets assume your hypothetical world where law enforcement does not exist. Do you believe that everyone will act in the beat interests of society and others? Will some social worker go and have a chat every time some guy beats his wife? Assuming that all people are inherently good and will act that way without an enforcement mechanism is child like view of the world.

i don't really care about this conversation but picking the threat of domestic violence in particular as your example of why police are needed is just :discourse:

Yes! The texts are from Greenberg, who is in jail after getting charged with 33 counts by the feds. Stone's probably in the clear on this one, as he was only theoretically going to get paid to chase the pardon (legal - just can't buy a pardon yourself).

Gaetz has a lot of poo poo to worry about because his hookup very clearly wrote a lot of poo poo down and is either singing to the feds or has very, very poor safeguards on his poo poo. I'd bet the former - Greenberg's obviously the big fish in this case, but he probably is trying to convince the feds that he could help bag them a Congressman.

am i missing something or did Greenberg admit a sexual crime with a minor to Stone, who then did nothing except try to grift off it? Is he not an accessory after the fact?

like i'm no fancy big city lawyer or nothin, but i'm pretty sure that if someone approached you to say "heck yeah dude, my friend and i have been having sex with minors!! just need you to make it go away!" and you don't report it, you're now an accessory
