With the war in Israel going on-my guess is this news is not widely known ---or maybe amongst just a handful!!
FL official who orchestrated the migrant flights to Marthas Vineyard last year has quietly resigned. He illegally used a non-govt email address under the name Clarice Starling to arrange the flights with a private vendor.

Desantis's Public Safety Czar Larry Keefe has quietly resigned his position. Keefe became embroiled in controversy after he orchestrated the migrant flights last September using a private vendor using secretive methods that clearly violated Florida's open government laws.
...................

When making the arrangements with Vertol, Keefe did not use his official government email account, instead using a private Gmail account under the code name "Clarice Starling," named after Jodi Foster's character in The Silence of the Lambs.
Both Desantis, Keefe, and the Governor's office have steadfastly refused to comment on why a state official would intentionally circumvent public records laws for the migrant flights. Litigation is still pending on whether Keefe lied under oath about the flights and email account.
This story was first reported by the Miami Herald.

(3,653 posts)Sounds like he's using his 'skills' (his complete lack of moral compass) to help DeSantis win the Presidency.

I didn't see it but it aired last Sunday.
I expect that it helped to provide the extra steel toe boot to that guy. And yes, there are a whole pile of stories being buried and it has been happening even before the Israel/Hamas war.

(16,973 posts)I had set my VCR to record it and got breaking news instead. I assume they'll reschedule it when they get a chance. (At least I hope so; I was looking forward to watching it.)
BumRushDaShow
(131,746 posts)I know it was heavily advertised and I am sure they will find some slot to finally air it.
But since it was "out there", I expect it helped to give a push out and really exposed what may have been the criminal elements of this particular DeSatan stunt (although I expect DHS may already be investigating).
