mr. greenberg, what do you know about people that are higher up in the food chain? people like matt gaetz. people like maybe even roger stone who is on our screen right now, but joel greenberg has had an involvement with matt gaetz that has been corroborated through flights records, through things like venmo transactions. i mean, these are objective things and evidence that prosecutors can look at for purposes of being able to bring a case. and you know what's kind of outrageous, too, is the fact that matt gaetz remains on the house judiciary committee while all of this is going on, but unfortunately for somebody like matt gaetz, in the event he is indicted, his jury will not be women for america first who he spoke to yesterday in florida. >> just want to be clear here, nbc has not yet confirmed those venmo payments that katie just spoke of. so i want to be sure there's no miscommunication on that. let's talk about the legal strategy, it seems, that gaetz has taken. michael cohen of all people criticizing on my colleague's show last night the legal strategy that gaetz has taken. let's take a listen to that. >> well, h
