My final response to the Ethics Committee:

The Committee’s star witness, Joel Greenberg, is a felonious liar who involves others in his lies.

On July 10, 2024, I provided the Committee dispositive evidence of my innocence by producing a “smoking gun” contemporaneous, jailhouse writing, documenting the plot to frame me, which includes both Joel Greenberg and his victim. This was authenticated by two former federal agents who interviewed the jailhouse informant who revealed the plot against me.

This wasn’t the first - or even second - time Greenberg coordinated false smears of others in this manner.

Greenberg was initially indicted for attempting to falsely smear a teacher at a local high school as a pedophile. Thereafter, he was separately found by federal law enforcement to have possessed child pornography that he intended to use to frame his OWN attorney.

Greenberg had arranged for his victim to meet with an attorney of Greenberg’s choosing to orchestrate the plan to get Greenberg’s victim to lie about me.

Greenberg texted another person that he was paying for his victim’s attorneys.

After the text messages admitting Greenberg was paying for his victim’s attorneys, he confessed his lies to a jailhouse informant, who he was sharing a holding cell with in 2021. This jailhouse informant sent a letter to my attorneys confirming Greenberg:

· ADMITTED authorities found records that he gave money to a 17-year-old on AND that he was charged with sex trafficking a minor.

· ADMITTED to fabricating NUMEROUS EVENTS that he told investigators, including claiming that he arranged for a minor to “hook up” with other people.

· Said investigators leaked the charges to the media.

· Wanted to “help the feds” to get his time reduced.

However, NONE of this has been enough for the Committee. It seems the fix is in.

Their investigation exists to do what the voters of my district won’t - remove me from office.

Therefore, I will no longer voluntarily participate in this regrettable abuse of the Committee.
