The Democrats' Daddy Warbucks is back and once again using his money to try to buy an election.
Michael Bloomberg is among a group of rich people hanging around Florida and offering free fine payoffs to released felons in a more-than-implied exchange for their votes for Democrats. Bloomberg isn't playing non-partisan in this, a frequent dodge of leftists, he's shoveling $100 million of his own cash to make sure Florida votes for Democrats, and this is part of his game. That would be the same Michael Bloomberg who was last seen blowing a billion on his own presidential campaign and then stiffing his campaign workers, by promising to employ through the election, and then dumping them and leaving them out on their ears when he left the race. Money for cons, see, but not the help.
It's otherwise known as bribery, the exchange of votes for something of value, and it's explicitly forbidden under Florida law.
Florida's Rep. Matt Gaetz has noticed and he's raising the alarm:
"[Under Florida law] it’s a third-degree felony for someone to either directly or indirectly provide something of value to impact whether or not someone votes," Gaetz explained. "So the question is whether or not paying off someone’s fines and legal obligations counts as something of value, and it clearly does.
"If Michael Bloomberg was offering to pay off people's credit card debt," Gaetz added, "you would obviously see the value in that.
"[W]hen you improve someone’s net worth by eliminating their financial liabilities, that’s something of value," he went on. "Normally, it would be very difficult to prove that that was directly linked to impacting whether or not someone was going to vote. But they literally wrote their own admission."

So where is the Federal Judge blocking this?
Oh that is right, Judges only get to interfere with Republicans. The 4th branch of government...
Of course it’s Bribery. All of today’s current “power elites” are guilty of Bribery, treason, sedition, or a host other things up to and including pedophilia...
And we allow it. We rant. We rail. We gnash our teeth.
And nothing gets done to the endless parade of Socialist elites who openly flout the law to bring down the US and change it into a dung heap that They feel they will control.
$5 and bottle Jack Daniels is back BIG TIME ,LOL
Florida should issue and arrest warrant immediately - it just might at least stop Bloomberg from buying more votes
“It will be very difficult to hold these lowlife billionaires accountable “
Trump’s DoJ had no problem arresting Steve Bannon and war hero Brian Kolfage on flimsy charges. Even sent an army of Postal Inspection Service clowns to physically drag Kolfage to New York from Florida, where anyone could have rung his doorbell and talked to him. Or his attorney.
Why’s it so “difficult” to indict and arrest Mikey?
The DoJ could do it any time they want, and have. With disgusting injustice in the way it’s done, so they can stick their finger in the President’s eye.
These people are largely black and Hispanic non violent offenders released by Trump
They may vote Trump
Michael Bloomberg, felon?
Yes and the one’s who took the bribe may be charged for taking it back to the cell folks.
Better make Mikie’s bail about fifty million, as he’s a flight risk.
Arrest him.
5 billion bail.
