Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody reportedly sent a letter to the FBI and Florida Department of Law Enforcement requesting a criminal investigation into a recent report that failed Democrat presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, a billionaire, has raised more than $16 million to help convicted felons pay off their debts in an attempt to boost Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden in the state.
“The letter said that Moody’s office had reviewed Bloomberg’s pledge and referred the matter to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the FBI for a criminal investigation,” CBS 12 reported. “Moody’s letter references Florida’s statute against paying for votes, referencing a Florida Department of State finding that said ‘even an otherwise innocuous offering of an incentive simply to vote can run afoul’ of state election law.”

LOCK HER UP!
Yep.
Now, if you have any referrals to investigate Republicans or someone wearing a MAGA cap ... The FBI will have 15 guys there before you can say “garage door pull.”
She might as well flush the letter down the toilet.
Wray will do the same.
“Then this can move forward. “
It. is already moving forward in Florida.
Why would the FBI investigate under a Florida State Statute?
L
GOOD ASHLEY!! My VOTE wasn’t WASTED on you!
If they really want to make liberal heads explode, start a conspiracy or RICO case against all of the Dem megadonors that contributed to the effort - including the owner of Twitter...
“Why would the FBI investigate under a Florida State Statute?”
There are also relevant Federal statutes that prohibit paying for votes. Nothing wrong with a 2-prong attack.
Florida Dept of Law Enforcement also got a referral. FBI won’t do squat. North Florida (read: Lower Alabama) based FDLE will screw with Bloomberg just because he’s from New York. My Cousin Vinny but without Marisa Tomei.
Can you establish a direct connection between Bloomberg and any ex-con who may now vote now that their fines/fees have been paid? If there’s no clear, provable quid pro quo, what kind of case can anyone make? These individuals will be free to vote for any candidate they choose, or not at all.
Lawyers everywhere are funding their retirement plans.
That might be true if Bloomberg was a random individual but he was a Democrat presidential candidate.
Why not fire Wray now? Is it a matter of appearances? Does justice remove her blindfold for the sake fashion?
Out-and-out vote-buying.
Does anyone know whether the Florida law that allows felons to vote stipulates that this would happen “when THEY pay their fines” or “when their fines are paid”?
If it is the former then they still should not be allowed to vote unless the state unconditionally refund their portion of Bloomberg contribution to them, after which they decide for themselves whether to pay those costs.
It is legal, but will need to be reported as income.
From experience with employees, most ex cons will not vote.
Time to Freeze any and all Bloomberg assets/money in the state of Florida including his news service etc. This would include any bail or debt money for or owed by convicted felons.
Do it under FEC rules/laws.
It’s the Democrat way
Even Barack Obama talked openly about handing out “walking around money”
