CNN really knows how to pick ’em don’t they? Andrew Gillum, hired back in January by the kings of fake news has been fined $5,000 for ethics violations stemming from his time as mayor of the shit hole known as Tallahassee. CNN can’t even hire people without ethics strikes against them. This is CNN. Andrew Gillum is also the Democrat socialist loser who lost to Ron DeSantis to be governor of Florida. The consolation prize was a job at CNN.

That free April 2016 ticket to “Hamilton” from “Mike Miller” will cost former gubernatorial candidate and Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum $5,000 and could, perhaps, tarnish his Democratic Party “rising star” status for years.
Gillum attorney Barry Richard said Wednesday in Tallahassee that his client has agreed to a count of accepting a lobbyist’s gift worth more than $100 to settle an ethics complaint before the Florida Ethics Commission.
As part of the agreement, announced as Gillum was set to go before the commission in an administrative hearing, four other counts of ethics violations against the progressive Democrat were dropped, Richard said.
The complaints stem from a three-year, $500,000 FBI investigation into Tallahassee corruption that dogged Gillum’s gubernatorial campaign.
All along, Gillum maintained he was not a target of the probe, which involved the city’s redevelopment agency, lobbyists, tickets to the play ‘Hamilton,’ and trips to Costa Rica and New York City with “businessmen” who turned out to be undercover FBI agents, most notably one named “Mike Miller.”
But text messages, video, photos and an array of documents turned over to the Florida Ethics Commission by lobbyist Adam Corey via attorney Christopher Kise, a former Florida Solicitor General, cast doubt on Gillum’s claim he did not accept inappropriate gifts from “Mike Miller and the crew.”
