Andrew Gillum’s Florida Ethics Troubles Just Got Worse
Slate ^

Posted on 01/26/2019 6:23:32 PM PST by ameribbean expat

But a Florida ethics probe into Gillum’s conduct as Tallahassee mayor has made his political future cloudier than it once appeared. On Friday, that investigation took a new, serious turn, when a state commission found probable cause that Gillum violated ethics laws by accepting gifts from lobbyists.

This latest development, reported in the Tallahassee Democrat, should not be confused with the FBI probe into corruption in Tallahassee, which looks to be uninterested in Gillum.

20 years ago this would have been a joke, with Gillium having no chance to win in the general. Now ...

it’s precisely as “cloudy” as it was from day one; the msm just failed to report on this obvious felon during the election.

In NJ, it was nothing.

Bob Menendez not only didn’t pay any price, but got re-elected Senator again.

“Bob Menendez not only didn’t pay any price, but got re-elected Senator again.”

But 90% of New Jerseyites are brain dead RATs looking for their politicians to “bring home the bacon!”
The rest, are probably trying to figure out how to move out of the state.

He may announce he’s running for president in order to stay out of jail.

The same could be said about Edward M. Kennedy (Dirtbag-Massachusetts). He not only got re-elected, he did it about 5 times. If it hadn't been for the brain tumor, we'd probably still have him, instead of Liawatha, in the Senate.

The mystery is, how to probe the ethics of someone who has none.

“the FBI probe into corruption in Tallahassee, which looks to be uninterested in Gillum.”?
of course the corrupt fbi is uninterested in Gillum, cause he is a famous negro.
Look how for decades the vaunted fbi has looked the other way in regards the reverend al sharpton?
This fbi has become horse crap.
A political tool.
NO confidence in anything federal gub mint.

Another story on Gillum's corruption, this time by Slate. It has to be bad to even get a mention in that leftist rag.

I predict that by tomorrow afternoon the race card will already have been played. Not that it will do any good, since we managed to keep the adults in charge.

It would be very satisfying to see Gillum swing.

Slate? Guess the bigs want Gillum out of the picture before the Bernie/Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ticket.

I am going to be surprised if I hear ANY mention of this in the Miami media.
