Dem Gubernatorial candidate Gillum gets Broadway tickets from ~~'land developer'~~ undercover FBI agent

2018-10-24

[National Review] Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum, the Democratic Florida gubernatorial candidate, was aware that tickets he received to a Broadway show were purchased by an undercover FBI agent he thought was a land developer, according to more than 100 pages of records given to the state ethics commission and released to the public Tuesday.

The records, which were provided to the commission by an attorney representing Adam Corey, a lobbyist and longtime friend of Gillum’s, include text-messages between Corey and Gillum, and indicate that Gillum lied on numerous occasions in claiming he was unaware who purchased the tickets when he attended the play.

"Mike Miller and the crew have tickets for us for Hamilton tonight at 8 p.m.," Corey texted Gillum on Aug. 10, 2016, referring to one of the two undercover FBI agents who attended the trip to New York while posing as land developers with business before the city.

"Awesome news about Hamilton," Gillum replied.

The ethics commission is currently probing trips Gillum took to New York and Costa Rica that were arranged by Corey.

Once again, it's not the crime but the cover-up that gets you.

As for the FBI giving him tickets...
Back in the hippie days, there was a running joke about how the most radical SDS cells consisted entirely of FBI informants egging each other on to greater and greater levels of violence. Given what we now know about the FBI, maybe it wasn't that much of a joke.
