But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens.

86 pages of plea agreement. 86 pages of testimony were filed in the plea agreement for Joel Greenberg, the ostensible wing-man for Matt Gaetz.

No one’s favorite tax collector, Greenberg side-stepped the prospect 33 criminal charges by pleading guilty to 6 federal charges by offering his assistance to prosecute who knows how many other people. The proffer of corroborated testimony allows him to slide on 27 other criminal charges.

Let’s play devil’s advocate for a moment. Let’s say that Matt Gaetz is not indictable for any of the criminal activities laid out in 86 pages of plea agreement. Unless Matty was playing a Mother Teresa role to save the soul of Joel Greenberg, why is the sitting congressman associating with such a despicable, scum-sucking bottom-feeder?

Gaetz is most assuredly no Mother Teresa. Gaetz is no redeemer of lost souls, so what would possess Gaetz to knock around with Greenberg?

Coming up blank? Thought so. Unless one is involved in the criminal enterprises or acting in an undercover capacity for law enforcement or actively seeking to turn Joel from the dark side, there is no reason to hang with such a loathsome individual. That was fun.

The point of such a mind-game is to illuminate the notion that there should be no reason on earth for Mr Gaetz to pal around with Mr Greenberg. Even if Matty isn’t included by name or anonymously in Greenberg’s plea deal, one should look at Gaetz’s character with a cocked eye.
