Now how is this going to be blown up and Gillum will be defeated......

Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum received a ticket to the Broadway show "Hamilton" from a group that included an undercover FBI agent, according to text and email records released on Tuesday under subpoena by the lawyer for a former Florida lobbyist.

The revelation is the latest development regarding a federal investigation into public corruption in Tallahassee, Florida, where Gillum has been mayor since 2014.The records, which were subpoenaed by the state ethics commissions last week according to the Tampa Bay Times, cast doubt on the explanation from Gillum's campaign that the mayor received the ticket from his brother Marcus.

I heard those exact same arguments in 2008 when the Reverend Wright stuff came out. And that was way more serious.


Gillum is going to win.


Quit being afraid of your own shadow.
