This is criminal. The icing on the cake is that the political operative who facilitated this graft is now Florida's ATTORNEY GENERAL.
This is the same sort of political crappola that was used to smear LePen in France. By the same sort of scum — and their supporters.
I’m breaking out the popcorn.
Meh.
“As part of that settlement, the state Agency for Health Care Administration received $57 million and directed Centene to send the other $10 million to the Hope Florida Foundation, a state-created charity that supports an initiative spearheaded by Casey DeSantis to get Floridians off government aid.”
The charity sent $5 million apiece to two nonprofits. The groups then contributed at least $8.5 million to a political committee that was led by DeSantis’ then-chief of staff James Uthmeier and opposed last year’s ballot initiative to legalize recreational marijuana. Uthmeier’s committee later sent $10.5 million to the Republican Party of Florida and $1.1 million to DeSantis’ political committee.”
Basically, they are ‘claiming’ that this was all Medicaid money and should have been given to ‘Medicaid’. The problem is that it’s a Medicaid ‘settlement’ with the state, so it’s not actually Medicaid money, it’s State of Florida money. Then the ‘State of Florida’ directed it to non-profits, which used the money to stop ‘recreational marijuana’. The non-profits also donated to PAC’s.
Here is the problem. Say a Judge says this is criminal, and I am not saying it’s not, then what are the Democrats nationwide going to do? Most of the money that has filled DNC coffers has been from Federal Government to NGO’s, and then zero oversight to Democratic candidates and PAC’s. See Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams story. Instead of ‘millions’ this has been in the ‘Billions’.
Me thinks that if it’s legal to do it on a Federal Scale in the Billions, then a few million on a State scale is nothing. Like watching someone doing 125 in a school zone and only stopping the person doing 17 miles per hour and giving them a ticket.
The ‘fix’ is to make it illegal for any NGO or ‘Non-profit’ to EVERY have the right to donate to political figures or committees either State or Federal money. However, as soon as you do that, the Democrats can’t afford to pay the rioters, Soros, or the Media off.
