There was no further contact with this individual until after her 18th birthday.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Wait, is he saying someone hooked up with her <em>again<\/em> as soon as she turned 18?! Yep. She was one of the three women Gaetz allegedly funneled money to via <strong>Venmo<\/strong>, per a recent report.<\/p>\n<p>The letter was reportedly written while he was under federal indictment and seeking a pardon in advance \u2014 presumably because he knew he was guilty AF. In it he confirms what we\u2019d seen evidence of from their public Venmo accounts, that Gaetz paid the girls <em>through<\/em> him, thus trying to create a legal loophole for himself to continue to claim he\u2019d never paid for sex. Greenberg makes clear:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFrom time to time, gas money or gifts, rent or partial tuition payments were made to several of these girls, including the individual who was not yet 18. I did see the acts occur firsthand and Venmo transactions, Cash <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a> or other payments were made to these girls on behalf of the Congressman.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Even in his confession, however, Greenberg still seems to be downplaying the crimes, saying of the many payments made to these girls:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAll of the girls were in college or post college and it was not uncommon for either myself or the Congressman to help anyone [sic] of these girls financially, whether it was a car payment, a flight home to see their family or something as simple as helping pay a speeding ticket.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However,\u00a0<em>DB<\/em> saw evidence of at least 220 different payments on either Venmo or\u00a0<strong>CashApp<\/strong>, usually between $300 and $500 \u2014 but sometimes as much as $1000. And they interviewed 12 of the 40+ women who received payments, and they all said they understood this was <strong>money in exchange for sex<\/strong>. Whether they used the money to visit their parents or pay their car note has ZERO legal impact here.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mattgaetz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@mattgaetz<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChrisDorworth?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ChrisDorworth<\/a> duckface and all. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WhiteHouse?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WhiteHouse<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oIAzfXgkCh\">pic.twitter.com\/oIAzfXgkCh<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joel Greenberg (@JoelGreenbergTC) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoelGreenbergTC\/status\/1142319963182641152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 22, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the letter,\u00a0<em>DB<\/em> also obtained private messages between Greenberg and Trump ally <strong>Roger Stone<\/strong> (above inset, with Gaetz and Greenberg) on the encrypted messaging app <strong>Signal<\/strong>. Those messages disappear, like <strong>Snapchats<\/strong>, but Greenberg took screenshots \u2014 we can only assume for future leverage. These messages seem to incriminate Stone, to whom the tax collector offers $250k to get him a pardon from Trump:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>JG: \u201cIf I get you $250k in Bitcoin would that help or is this not a financial matter\u201d<\/p>\n<p>RS: \u201cI understand all of this and have taken it into consideration. I will know more in the next 24 hours I cannot push too hard because of the nonsense surrounding pardons.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Later Roger seemed to think he was on his way to scoring the pardon \u2014 which makes sense considering Stone himself <em>did<\/em> end up getting a pardon. He wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI hope you are prepared to wire me $250,000 because I am feeling confident\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When asked for comment, Stone confirmed to <em>DB<\/em> Greenberg tried to \u201chire\u201d him to help him get a pardon but denied he ever asked for or received payment. However, he did acknowledge he asked Greenberg for \u201ca document explaining his prosecution.\u201d Ah, now it becomes clearer. That\u2019s the reason there was a confession letter \u2014 remember, to accept a pardon you have to admit your guilt. The pardon isn\u2019t a declaration of innocence, it\u2019s just a removal of consequences.<\/p>\n<p>BTW, Gaetz was mentioned multiple times in the private messages as well. Greenberg spelled it out as plainly as can be, writing in a December 21 message:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMy lawyers that I fired, know the whole story about MG\u2019s involvement. They know he paid me to pay the girls and that he and I both had sex with the girl who was underage.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Gaetz\u2019s new public relations firm responded to\u00a0<em>DB<\/em>\u2018s story with the following statement:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cCongressman Gaetz has never paid for sex nor has he had sex with a 17 year old as an adult. We are now one month after your outlet and others first reported such lies, and no one has gone on record to directly accuse him of either. Politico, however, has reported Mr. Greenberg threatening to make false accusations against others, which seems noteworthy for your story and in fact sounds like the entirety of your story. Congressman Gaetz has had no role in advocating for or against a pardon for Greenberg and doubts such a pardon was ever even considered.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mm-hmm. We guess he tricked Gaetz into paying him all that money, too? Just for the future \u201cfalse accusations\u201d he was planning on making?<\/p>\n<p>What do YOU think of this new evidence? Will Gaetz\u2019s (and Trump\u2019s) supporters continue to back the congressman??<\/p>\n<p><em>[Image via WENN\/Instar\/Joel Greenberg\/Twitter.]<\/em>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
