Ellicott was a friend of former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg and was hired as a special projects manager in the tax collector's office.

Bye Bye Gaetz,....it's been horrible knowing you.
Two sets of rules: one for the rich and powerful and politically well-connected, and one for the rest of the people.
@Mike Felix And that's wasn't enough!!
Get ready max, or Scott , or whatever, you're going Down!!
@Lovely yea i agree! The fight is real. Just to be counted as a human…. That was a real fight. Like we look like you, have the same organs as you, and limbs n blood sweat n tears yet counted as animals/ property. Soooo messed up. And that way of thinking lives still today. Yes i know. It’s disgusting n heartbreaking.
And i agree all those men knew exactly what they were doing n the consequences of their actions. That kind of mindset is a much deeper issue. Not an excuse because there is no excuse for their actions. At All!! The damage they did can’t be versed. All those young girls n women will never be the same.
I thank you for your insight, your view, n your knowledge on shedding light on this matter.
The average person has no say in who the leaders are, the donors have the say. There is no equality or fair election when you win based on how much money you have. There should be no money involved so everyone is represented equally.
But,of course, that wouldn't Even Happen
@L X Have a party with your dolls to cheer up, Princess.
Ppl posting this same comment over and over, copy & paste?
Florida knows how to pick them
"Only the best people". Only in Amerikkka.
I love how the emphasize the drugs and fraud but not the SEX TRAFFICKING OF A CHILD. Seems to be very prevalent in the "well connected"
That’s exactly what I said
I've been on this earth for 40 years and never had a friend involved in fraud or drug distribution. We set our standards pretty low for our leadership nowadays.
After all his tough talk I have a feeling we'll be seeing the "tears of a clown"
True dat and he'll be running to Mama and Papa 🙄🥳🤯🙈
I can hear it now:
"ALL ABOARD!!! Now loading, on Track 69, the Pizza Gaetz, Interstates, paedophile special. Destination: PRISON! ALL ABOARD!!"
After all his tough talk I have a feeling we'll be seeing the "tears of a clown"😭🤡

Lock this creep up please.
@D.A. Oh HE DIDNT HAVE THE EVIDENCE. FACT.
I tell ya, he surrounds himself with amazing people.

@peter renshaw No it shows your circle of associates. When you lay with republican dog's flea's are your crew.
well if your friend killed someone or raped someone or sold drugs to someone or stole of someone .you must be guilty as well and you should go to jail as well . lets get real all of you would get this thrown out of court on the bases you did not do the crime (so stop judging someone on someone else actions because it fits your narrative ) .You would be outraged if the shoe was on the other foot ,double standards come to mind .
DTF, I am 75 years old and never had a friend or anyone I know.
Why bother even making it up.
They are all falling by the wayside.
One by one.
Well, maybe at least one of them (Gaetz) may get justice.
Why is this guy still in Congress.
Bc he’s a Republican and he has money 💰
why does he look so evil though. Like he couldn't hide anything..he just looks like a villan.
It must be nice, when you are paying a lawmakers salaries. Then in return, you get the shaft without Vaseline.
What is nice is paying a civil servant, a civil servants salary, and yet they somehow amass a 150 million dollar fortune. They have exceptional stock trading skills that rival Warren Buffet. Always gaining, never losing a dime. It's almost like they know ahead of time what's going to happen. They used to jail people for that, inside trading. Ask Martha Stewart
No more lobbying or financial support from big corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Boeing, Northrup contract lobbying or support from any companies to people running for office. Enough of that crap already too!
Good 👍 Why is it taking so long! What more evidence do you need! Little Girl's being with this grown Man in a hotel
Please 🥺
Lock him up in jail and throw away the key!
Gaetz is so slimy. He absolutely makes my skin crawl.
Do you still love seeing your own face on the tv, Matt?
Stenographers and copy machine repairpersons are in high demand, and investigators get top dollar. There is a nest of rats scurrying.
They need to get his passport, BEFORE he leaves the country and finds asylum somewhere,...probably Russia.
i don't understand how these two guys are in or going to jail while gaetz is a free man. is there senate privilege or is it learning from the master (45) in how to stay above the law?
Good Lord. These guys have a way too much free time on their hands.
"We can do the innuendo we can dance and sing.. . "
To by on that jury! 🤗
Popcorn time 🍿😁
This news comes to you from Left Field, way out there in left field. You might say it's off the wall.
The average person has no say in who the leaders are, the donors have the say. There is no equality or fair election when you win based on how much money you have. There should be no money involved so everyone is represented equally.
Gaetz will step up to a new level of desperation beyond what he has displayed recently. 🍿
The dominoes are all falling FAST !! ..........................getting loud, and Louder, and LOUDER and L O U D E R !
LOCK THEM ALL UP
Gaetz is the creepy guy that lives next door, if he knocks, Just ignore him!
Walls are closing in Matt :)
Pretty old and played out saying at this point.
Tick tock, Matt.
WONDER HOW MANY TIMES GAETZ HAS CALLED TRUMP, HIS FRIEND WHO HE STAUNCHLY SUPPORTED .... I THINK HE IS GOING DOWN AND I FOR ONE CAN'T WAIT
Matt, I have 4 words of advice, just 4 words, Are you listening Matt?
SOAP ON A ROPE
I fail to see what the friend has to do with the other.
He dident have the money to fight it
I'll believe it when I see it. 🙏
The noose is tightening, Gaetz 👍
Pretty standard for Republicans....👍👍
Oh wow, someone's friend got arrested? Are wood chips coming up from this barrel scraping?
Matt is being hooked up to an intravenous drip of Imodium as we speak😂
I heard he wants his cell to smell of Play-Do and training bras!
I'm trying very hard to stop reading the comments on RU-clip but in a sea of stupid there are still gems like this one.
Can I install it? Please? 😂
Ohh hell yeah, I love it
Wait until his friend from Florida Mr Ron desensitized
Don’t drop the soap Matt G
Hula-Hoop Gaetz…
Matt is going to luv prison life!
Why hasn't Matt G. Been charged? I mean I believe they have plenty of evidence; I base that off clips I have seen and heard about his involvement. Justice? I'm glad his buddies are behind bars but he was right there with them doing the exact same things. I am starting to think their is zero justice.
you are misinformed.
Well, maybe at least one of them (Gaetz) may get justice.
thing, they love sexual predators
lock em up
Prepare to hold someone's pocket Matty
Lock him up
Saw a guy in Miami wearing a tee:
“MATT GAETZ
SUGAR DADDY HULA HOOP
GIRLS SQUAD”
The funny thing is people thought it was a Gaetz fan!
Sometimes we think we vote
Lock this creep up please.
Bird's of a feather flock together .
Hmmm….I smell smoke, Matt.
The swamp that trump swims in!
How am I not surprised..
This guy is still walking around? Oh thats right we only arrest poor Wal-Mart people.....
Hope they charge arrest prosocuted and sentence matt gantz to prison for 20 years
Matt 💕
Matt Gaetz will not do well in state or federal prison.

@William Leonard +174
Thank you so much for your feedback, I'll contact her ASAP🙌🙌
You are the company you keep?
They’re coming for you Matt! Your friends are turning on you like trumps friends are turning on him! Lmao
@Peter Wilson what ever you say Pete your words are there to be read and they tell me a different story.
@TURKEYNATION I'm not about money, and I haven't sold my soul to Satan. Can't I support the political candidate of my choosing? Please keep the other world out of this world as Satan has nothing on me. I believe in God; I believe in redemption also. Learn to be forgiving, perhaps America would be a much better place.
@Woodland Gangsta yup! They can all wait! Lmao
@Tom Cousino Tommy, Matt isn't going to jail. You're wishful thinking. Show some love dude. And why should you want me to go to jail, I haven't broken any laws. Man, so much hate. We no longer have the right to support any political candidates we like. Matt knows how to make money, and besides, he's a cool dude. What is becoming of America--alas!
@Peter Wilson sold his soul to the devil and worships money
Another deal to testify on gaetz....lmao
And send him to a real prison, no country club white collar staycation.
OOPS !! 🙈
Is ANYONE shocked? They all have the same damn profile
Can anyone explain to me what wire fraud is....it's got nothing to do with coat hangers eh, like my partner says ?
I hear Dove soap is the best. It keeps a good lather and has oil in it to keep your skin nice and soft, among other things.
so nothing to do with Gates himself?
oh THE FRIEND.
Oh the irony
The average person has no say in who the leaders are, the donors have the say. There is no equality or fair election when you win based on how much money you have. There should be no money involved so everyone is represented equally.
WELL MATT LOOKS LIKE YOU'LL BE HEADING TO PRISON. YOUR SNEAKY AND CRIMINAL WAYS ARE COMING TO AN END!
Just another soap opera to fool the masses.
Good news
The walls are closing in Matt!
Hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha!
Republicans...lol
He also stuck gum under his desk in 4th grade , better get a special prosecutor.....
And send him to a real prison, no country club white collar staycation.
@KEVA1701 again if the prosecuters feel they have enough to charge him they will but until then you are just making assumptions because you don't like him and that is not fair to anybody nor does it show any objectivity. Most of it is all speculation right now to us.
@C R who is a white supremacist? How did this become about race?
Stay the course. Vote every election. Primaries, November 2022, November 2024...
No way not one of Matt's butt buddys oh wait maybe they can share a cell
Gaetz should be stripped of every Congressional Committee assignment while this is on-going - yet somehow Republicans find no reason for concern, rather they encourage him. Egregious.
Bruh..... You're really gonna go that route.... With the clown in the white house? Lmfao
@Nash well said! God Bless!!
@Pasture Expectations Farm Very true
Gaetz, but with barb wire fencing.
Jail him
It just Gaetz better and better!
Matty petty going down
Winter has arrived for big mouth Gaetz.
Republican family values, huh?
Oh no not poor Matt..just another victim going to prison soon..
Why is QAnon not saying anything on this? I thought this was their bread and butter 🤷
Matt's gonna make that orange jumpsuit look 😊
