    Default Democrat Andrew Gillum Charged With 21 Felonies Related To Campaign Lost To DeSantis

    Democrat Andrew Gillum was charged in federal court on Wednesday with 21 felonies related to his failed 2018 Florida gubernatorial campaign, which he lost to Republican Ron DeSantis.

    “A federal grand jury has returned a twenty-one count indictment against Andrew Demetric Gillum, 42, and Sharon Janet Lettman-Hicks, 53, both of Tallahassee, Florida,” United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida said in a statement.

    Gillum claimed in a statement that he was innocent and that the charges were political, even though he is being charged by the Department of Justice, which is overseen by the Biden administration.

    “The Indictment alleges that between 2016 and 2019, defendants Gillum and Lettman-Hicks conspired to commit wire fraud, by unlawfully soliciting and obtaining funds from various entities and individuals through false and fraudulent promises and representations that the funds would be used for a legitimate purpose,” the statement says. “The Indictment further alleges the defendants used third parties to divert a portion of those funds to a company owned by Lettman-Hicks, who then fraudulently provided the funds, disguised as payroll payments, to Gillum for his personal use.”

    “Both defendants are charged with 19 counts of wire fraud,” the statement added. “Gillum is also charged with making false statements to agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”

    If found guilty, Gillum faces up to 5 years in prison for making false statements, 20 years in prison for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and 20 years in prison per charge for wire fraud.

    NBC News national political reporter Marc Caputo tweeted that Gillum surrendered to authorities this morning ahead of the indictment being unsealed.

    The indictment confirmed that the charges stem from Gillum’s failed campaign against DeSantis, who has turned into one of the most powerful political forces in the world since winning in 2018.

    Default Former Florida Guv Candidate Andrew Gillum Is Indicted for Fraud

    we really dodged a bullet here in Florida.. a socialist crack addict fraudster almost got in.
    Thank Great Buddha for DeSantis

    Former Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum, who narrowly lost to now-Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2018, is facing a 21-count federal indictment for alleged fraud in connection with his campaign.

    Both Gillum and one of his top advisers, Sharon Lettman-Hicks, have been charged with wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and making false statements. They’re set to appear in court Wednesday afternoon.

    “The Indictment alleges that between 2016 and 2019, defendants Gillum and Lettman-Hicks conspired to commit wire fraud, by unlawfully soliciting and obtaining funds from various entities and individuals through false and fraudulent promises and representations that the funds would be used for a legitimate purpose,” the Justice Department said in a statement.

    “The Indictment further alleges the defendants used third parties to divert a portion of those funds to a company owned by Lettman-Hicks, who then fraudulently provided the funds, disguised as payroll payments, to Gillum for his personal use.”

    His fall from grace began when police found him inebriated on the floor of a South Beach hotel in 2020, and he was suspected of overdosing on crystal meth with another man.

    Gillum, who was within 34,000 votes of becoming Florida’s governor just two years prior, denied using drugs and claimed he had simply had too much to drink the night before. Still, the then-40-year-old said he was withdrawing himself from political life and entering a rehab facility.

    First off, Shapiro’s “Daily Wire,” for real?

    And if the crime is “conspired to commit wire fraud, by unlawfully soliciting and obtaining funds from various entities and individuals through false and fraudulent promises and representations that the funds would be used for a legitimate purpose,” then the January 6th Committee has proven Trump’s crime because they have documented that Trump knowingly did the very same thing

    Plus, he has been found guilty of the same regarding his bogus charity

    Correct. But they won't accept that evidence. They are partisan hacks, or worse yet, cult members. Drinking the koolaid is an apt analogy.

    As it should be, and is for many other than Democrats, if not they are paying attention, it was the first time in American History that a President employed an organized and well scripted effort to throw out and discard the vote of the American people so that he could remain in power

    Of course. But dukkha is a traitor. He supports Putin in his efforts to divide America, and he actively supports those who attempted to overthrow the United States Government by violent means. That's who he is. He'll have to own his shame when this is over and history has documented this incredibly dark stain on the country. He will be a pariah. All of them will be.

    BS. Democrats are the pro crime, pro violence, pro domestic terrorism party of traitors.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    Found butt naked in a seedy hotel room passed out and drugged up on his belly with his ass up in the air with 2 gay male prostitutes. He may very well LOVE prison. Wonder if he's picked his dress out yet?
