Matt Gaetz and his associates could be in more trouble than we had thought, as reports this week have given us new information about the ongoing investigation. One of the recent revelations is that the Secret Service is actually handling parts of the investigation, meaning that there could be an Executive Branch connection to all of this, which could easily be due to Gaetz's involvement. Farron Cousins explains what's happened.

Earlier this week, a federal judge down here in the state of Florida, agreed to extend the sentencing, actually delay the sentencing of Joel Greenberg, the former Seminole county tax collector, who was at the center of the mat gates scandal. His sensing was supposed to take place by the end of the year, but because he is being such a good cooperating witness, they have now pushed it into next year. Likely around March is when they may finally get around to sentencing Greenberg for those six counts that he did in fact plead to down from 33, which again is super important. But the reason the judge agreed to this is because Greenberg is giving them gold. Greenberg has given them so much information, according to the reports that they have now found new targets to go after in this investigation. And one of the things that we learned this week was that the secret service itself is actually involved in part of the investigation.
Part of the investigation is being conducted by the United States secret service. That is a massive revelation because that means somehow some way, part of this investigation is tied to the executive branch of the United States government. Now, before you get all excited and think that, oh, maybe Trump was involved in this, hold your horses there. That's probably not what it means. I say probably because we can't say for certain, what this likely involves is the a confession letter that Greenberg wrote, uh, at the end of the Trump administration wrote a letter basically admitting that both he and Matt gates had paid for sex. And at least one of the women they paid for sex was under-aged. She was only 17 years old. And he sent the letter to Roger Stone, begging Roger Stone to get him a presidential pardon, but he implicated Matt gates in that as well.
So had me and gates did these things. So we need the presidential pardon? Because of that, that is likely again, likely because we don't know for sure why the secret service became involved in the first place they need to determine, did Greenberg give any money to Roger Stone in exchange for a presidential? Pardon? What was exchanged between the two? What happened with all this was Matt gates involved in any kind of pressure campaign with the former president to get a pardon? That's big stuff. It's huge in terms of this investigation, because if the secret service did not have reason to believe that any of these things I've just mentioned may have transpired, they would not be involved in this ongoing investigation, but they are, they have reason to believe these things are happening or did happen or could have happened. So they're still investigating this. The other part of this is that I know I've mentioned you.
I lose optimism in the case, the news breaks. And I finally get more optimistic again, and I am feeling a little more optimistic right now, especially after the reports saying that Greenberg has given them so much information, that they have so many new leads to track down. They have so many new avenues that they have to investigate new people that previously were not targets that are now targets. This is gold. And this helps explain why gates himself has not yet been indicted. Because again, even from the confession letter, Greenberg has basically been telling us for a long time, Matt gates is guilty as hell. Okay. That's what that confession letter means. Of course it has to be investigated. You know, Greenberg is not the judge and jury here, but we do know from information he is handed over. It seems to corroborate his story in that confession letter.
So I am more confident today after all the news of this week that Matt gates will eventually be indicted. But I also believe that Greenberg has given investigators so much more information about not just gates, but other people that it's taking a much longer time to go through it, to verify it, to make sure it's all true before they come out with indictments. So I do believe at this point it's going to happen, but I don't think we're going to get any serious movement on it. Before the end of the year, it's going to take a long time.
