John, did you see the latest news about the Gaetz probe? We wrote you about how Rebekah Jones, who took on Gov. Ron DeSantis at risk of imprisonment to get honest information to Floridians vulnerable to COVID. She's now the Democratic House nominee taking on Matt Gaetz--a suspected trafficker. And, it seems, in a race more reminiscent of Roy Moore vs Doug Jones every day, the hits keep coming. From Today's Daily Beast: Eight people with direct knowledge of the probe confirmed to The Daily Beast the case is still unfolding—albeit at a methodical pace—as federal prosecutors work their way across a number of spokes of possible criminality. While each zone has its own sets of witnesses, subjects, and targets, all of it spirals from one man: crooked local tax official and Gaetz’s former “wingman,” Joel Greenberg. Lyle Mazin, a criminal defense attorney who represents a witness in the case, told The Daily Beast that the quiet should not be misconstrued as reluctance on the part of Roger Handberg, a federal prosecutor who led the local team conducting the investigation and now leads the Florida Middle District U.S. Attorney’s Office. “He’s methodical. He doesn’t let anything go,” Mazin said. “If you’re going after a monster, you have to get it right—especially when you have a bunch of Trump supporters who’ll come after you.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FROM OUR LAST EMAIL: SHE DID IT! Rebekah Jones, who took on Trump-loving, treason-weasel, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida in the past, won the Democratic congressional nomination yesterday to take on Rep. Matt Gaetz!! Can you join Blue Amp Action in giving $2, $5, $10, or whatever you can afford to swap hero Rebekah Jones for the disgusting, deplorable and treasonous Matt Gaetz? Replacing Gaetz with a hero like Jones would be a major upgrade to our national quality of life. You know Gaetz, repellent reptile, alleged sex trafficker of underage women (under investigation by the Justice Department), coup-supporting, national-security threat who broke into the SCIF--the secure faclity where sensitive information's opened in Congress--with a group of his loutish colleagues carrying cell phones that could be easily accessed by Russians or Chinese spies and Trump sycophant, whose allegiance is to Tangerine Jaba of Mar-a-Lago, NOT our Constitution. Back to Jones. You may remember she ignored the dictatorial dictates of Ron DeSantis to hide COVID deaths & infections in Florida, so he fired her from her job at the Florida Department of Health. Being the hero she is, she continued to track COVID cases on her own as a dedicated data scientist. So DeSantis used the pretext of her having accessed a state communications system "illegally" to raid her home, point a gun in her face and at her children and confiscate her hardware, threatening prosecution. But it didn't work with Jones, as it usually doesn't with heroes. She kept tracking COVID, and got even more involved, joining "Florida Covid Action" offering Floridians information about free testing options and COVID Monitor, focussing on keeping kids healthy and COVID-free in Florida Schools. |
