"U.S. Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section also continues to interview potential witnesses who could provide prosecutors with evidence against Gaetz.."
drip, drip, drip Matty!
politico.com/news/2021/05/1…
2/Feds aren't just relying on Joel Greenberg's plea deal..
"One witness told POLITICO that prosecutors spent two hours asking questions about whether Gaetz (R-Fla.) or others in his circle had sex with a 17-year-old girl in 2017. .."
3/ This is VERY very bad for Matt Gaetz:
"Two friends of Gaetz’s ex-girlfriend, who is not the 17-year-old, say she is in talks to be a witness for the prosecution but she wants an immunity deal for possible obstruction.
4/"And another source familiar with the investigation previously told POLITICO that the alleged sex-trafficking victim was “100 percent” talking to prosecutors about Gaetz, but her level of cooperation or the information she gave is not clear. .."
5/ Almost every prosecutor I've heard talk about this has it's the girlfriends and the 'victim' who Gaetz won't be able to impeach:
"Gaetz’s ex-girlfriend, whom POLITICO is not identifying to protect her from harassment, initially met him through Greenberg
6/"and has been talking to prosecutors about an immunity deal for months, according to two sources who had discussed the issue with her. Those talks have intensified in recent days, they said. Her lawyer, Tim Jansen, would not comment. .."

Hmmm:
WaPo's Carol Leonnig has a new book about the Secret Service out next week

2/"She writes that Secret Service agents reported that Vanessa Trump the wife of the president’s oldest son, Donald Trump, Jr, ‘started dating one of the agents who had been assigned to her family.’
3/"Leonnig also writes that Tiffany Trump, Donald Trump’s daughter with his second wife, Marla Maples, broke up with a boyfriend and ‘began spending an unusual amount of time alone with a Secret Service agent on her detail’

Here's a messaging doc circulated to Senate GOP by Senate Rules comm Repubs about the topline talking points they're to use during the S.1-For The People Voting Rights mark-up hearing this wk
They're fighting hard today
Off the rails:
politico.com/f/?id=00000179…
Senate GOP are planning to brand For The People Voting Rights bill “politically motivated federal takeover of the election system that would make elections more chaotic and less secure"
They. Are. Desperate. to stop this bill
The only way they win (ever again) is by stopping this
Senate GOP are planning to focus on the bill's req that states allow voters to fill out a sworn affidavit if they don’t have an ID
GOP argue that “would render state voter ID laws meaningless” and cite polling that shows a majority of Americans support those laws (a lie)

Have you ever had a job SO BAD that you formed a support group with other fmr staffers after you left
just to deal with the trauma?
Chatter:
there's a group of fmr DeSantis staffers meeting regularly
-he fires people suddenly & treats them like garbage
Anyone surprised?
Also per Playbook this am:
"At the beginning of his admin, DeSantis directed the Florida Republican Party leader to fire a party official who had cancer-on that person’s first week back from surgery"
NICE guy..
"DeSantis often blames his staff for his own blunders, we’re told. After DeSantis went on Fox News in 2018 and implored Florida voters not to “monkey this up” by supporting his African American Democratic opponent for governor,
